Sign in to edit

The Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2018, also abbreviated as WCS 2018, was a Yu-Gi-Oh! Official (OCG) and Trading Card Game (TCG) tournament that was held in Chiba from 5 - 6 August 2018, being the most prestigious and final event of the 2017-2018 season. It was held alongside the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Duel World Championship 2018 and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links World Championship 2018.

The main event was largely dominated by "Gouki" and "Altergeist" decks, with "Gouki" being the powerful combo deck and "Altergeist" being the more control-focused counter pick. In the end, it was a "Trickstar" deck that emerged victorious, being piloted by Chia Ching Wang from Taiwan. In the finals, he defeated Bohdan Temnyk from Australia, who was using the previously mentioned "Altergeist" strategy. Francesco Simoncelli from Italy finished in third place with "Gouki", while Seung-Chul Jung from South Korea came in fourth with "Sky Striker".[1]

The metagame at the Dragon Duel tournament was very similar. In the finals, Charley Futch from the US won against Kai Heidinger from Germany in a "Gouki" mirror match. The third place was also decided by a mirror match, though an "Altergeist" one. Here, Naoki Shitagaki from Japan defeated Kyong-Min Kim from South Korea.

In the Duel Links category, Takahiro Hamada "あれ。" from Japan won the final match against Junior Silva "N. DO ZAP" from Brazil. [2]
