Lazaro Bellido Wins Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Toronto
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – (September 7, 2010) – Playing to a raucous crowd inside Mississauga's International Centre, near Toronto, Lazaro Bellido rose above the rest to win the most recent stop in Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.'s (Konami) Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS) for the global trading card game powerhouse.
Bellido took on the challenge of a new tournament season and a new format, in the first major competition held since the latest Forbidden & Limited Cards List was enacted on September 1. Bellido assembled an X-Sabers Deck that dominated in a competition defined by creative strategy and inspired tactics. Nearly 500 enthusiastic players clashed during the two-day YCS, held near Canada's financial and cultural centre of Toronto.
Bellido, a Mississauga, Ontario native, squared off against Roy St. Clair from Charlottesville, VA for the title, with their friends and peers cheering during the much anticipated finals matchup. Bellido and St. Clair both played X-Sabers Decks with success throughout the weekend.
Bellido earned a monster prize package that included such items as a set of Ultra Rare YCS Prize Cards, an exclusive YCS Game Mat, a netbook computer, a paid trip to their country's 2011 World Championship Qualifier, and more!
