WILLIAM SAMUEL PEDIGO WINS YCS TURIN, ITALY!!! (& Coverage Highlights)
Welcome to another large-scale tournament conclusion! Congratulation to former ARG writer Sam Pedigo who won with his Geargia Karakuri deck (this is not a lie), triumphing over an estimated 1324 Duelists to take home the trophy! Also, congrats to Konrad Grunewald who came in 2nd place with his Dragon Ruler deck. Being the 125th YCS, this event was marked by its exclusive game mats and amazing coverage as usual done by Konami Europe, which included such rare treats as a Day 1 Deck Breakdown and several deck profiles. There was also a surprise from the nearly forgotten Fire Fist deck - a duelist named Kevin Langerberg went 10-1 through Swiss, eventually making it all the way to the Top 8!
