It was with these four little words that I completely revamped my outlook on the game, my attitude at events, and my demeanor in the game. These four little words mean so much more in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh than you think. Four little words, none too long or daunting – but powerful nonetheless. I went from not topping nearly 15 YCS/SJC to topping 9/12 the moment this clicked in my head. But the underlying ramifications of this conclusion extend further than you will ever imagine. You are going to laugh as how basic of a principle it is. Today I am writing this article as the player with numerous events tops, but not as a symbol of arrogance, because I once hinged on the words of those in this position, wanting to know what separated their thinking from mine. And not only did it click it clicked so well I became reinvigorated as a player with a passion I never had. And once it finally dawned on me, once I learned my own fallacies, it clicked. The problem was I had to seek that out myself, failure after failure I had to find out for myself what was holding me back as a player, and why I was continuously failing at events. In February of 2010, I hinged on the words of those who achieved that level of success I endlessly sought what allowed them to accomplish their goals. I am not trying to shove my credentials down your throat, but you know what, I am going to be completely honest with you on this one. Topping one YCS seemed so impossible to me at one point, and now I am on the cusp of double-digits. But something was different that February morning, my mindset and image of the game was different.įastforward to now, and I am still in shock at the YCS success I have had. I had gone to a majority of the 2010 events, and I’m not sure I can say with confidence that I was playing past round 6 in any of them. I had been to double-digit events and to be completely honest, I had fallen so short of my goal it seemed like an impossible dream. Before that tournament I yearned for nothing more than to reach the Top 32 of an event. This early February Saturday was the morning of YCS Dallas 2011, a tournament that for me began a transformation in how I thought about the game of the Yu-Gi-Oh. A time before Alter Reality Games, a time before Rescue Rabbit, and a time before you knew who I was. You want something real about this game, something to trigger the change in your mind that will catapult you to the level you want to reach, here we go. But this week is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most important article I have ever written and likely will ever write. I’ve written a lot of articles since this opportunity presented itself, some of which I took a lot of pride in writing and thus were quite proud of – such as the ones regarding Rescue Rabbit and the Grind Game or Mind Tricks. ![]() There have been several alarming issues I want to address that echoed throughout the comment section of my last two articles, and this week I am going to specifically point out fallacies in the arguments, while addressing underlying issues I have with the game. It is about time we all sit down and have a little chat a little chat about the game of Yu-Gi-Oh and the vision we should all have of this game. ![]() I’m going to cut the fancy introduction and cut to the chase this week.
