Yugioh 8 Ball Tournament Coverage: WEEK 1

Well I did it. RDK has captured, and seized its first tournament!
George (Me) Went 2 - 1 swiss rounds, Then to Top 8, played Edin (teammate), Phil Fitchew (SJC Top 8 Long Beach), And then Mark Suh. Reckless Domination was apparant at the Tournament, as Bruce, Edin, and I all three of us topped. Edin did expedentually good in the Swiss rounds as he was undefeated. Me and Bruce both went 2-1. Edin lost to me in Top 8, and Bruce lost to Phil Fitchew (SJC Top 8) in Top 8 also. Either way both players did good overall, and we could probably see them win our next tournament.
Tournament Details
-3 Round Swiss
-16 People
-Top 8
-3 RDK members
-Other players: Phil Fitchew, Ed, Mark Suh,

Winning the Tournament was pretty difficult.
The swiss rounds went pretty smoothly. I played a Frog Deck, and then a warrior deck. After that I had to play my team mate Edin, wielding Gladiator Beasts, with non other then the Rescue Cats. I lost that one 2-0.
I still made Top 8, and my first opponent, was my teamate Edin again. I felt like I was gonna lose, but Edin was plagued with bad hands and I was able to mill, and aggressively lock him down. I then play Phil and Mark, I lose the first one in both matches But I was able to come back, and win 2 in a row.

Bruce won his first one, in swiss round. He loses the second one, but then wins the last one.
He is in the feature match for the swiss rounds. He finishes his opponent (2-0) in less then ten minutes. No mercy right there...However for the Top 8, he plays Phil Fitchew (SJC Top 8). He is plagued with bad hands both game, one game lasted almost 10 minutes. After back and forth control of the game phil wins it through a decisive Crush Card Virus. Bruce Then Plays Edin for Fourth place, and wins taking the 4th place of the Tournament.

Edin did really good in the Swiss rounds. He was undefeated in the swiss rounds, and he moves on to Top 8, with the only 3-0 record in the tournament. Top 8 He had to play me for the second time. He had bad hands, and I had control of the game most of the time. A topdecked Celestia hurt the most. However Overall Edin was using the New gladiator beast deck fully, and to its extent. It was almost broken to see that Rescue Cat could bring any gladiator beast from the deck creating even more tool box factor. I would have to say If I didnt win against Edin, he may have won the tournament.
