Thank you for reading!

[p]Good evening everyone. The Finals of the 100th [ycs] have just ended, and congratulations to the newest Champion! You can find the Feature Match on the American coverage site very soon, so have a look over there to see if British Duelist Simon He could bring the title back to Europe!

That concludes the European portion of the 100th YCS coverage, and we just want to say a big thank you to everybody who followed the action on both sites, the 4000+ Duelists for attending, our wonderful Judge and Staff teams, and everybody else who made this record breaking event possible.

Thank you all and we’ll see you at the next event![/p]
