Oof imagine not flipping up emptyness. Yes you can't do anything but you can delay a turn or two when coldwave passes. Huge upset because infernity didn't wanna use their floodgate.
mkay but infernity ACTUALLY threw. the person playing infernity clearly just did not want them to even try to win. i’m not saying it would’ve been different but dude, set maxx c, flip vanity’s, JUST TRY LIKE WHAT
That match was....very weird. It felt like Infernity had plays on multiple occasions and just...didn't do them? Infernity looked WAY worse than I've ever seen. Anyway, great upset by Gladiator Beast. LADD and Metalfoes probably still move on, but they are making it interesting. Next matchup is a really fun one! Rulers v Metalfoes. Both decks which can resummon everything turn after turn. Kirin should be downright nasty in this matchup. Overall flexibility of Metalfoes probably carries them.
People forget because of all the propaganda in Edison format that GB was not even close to a bad deck in its hay day, I think modern GBs might even do worse than og cause they don’t have cold wave and are still clunky
I was rooting for GB's - they're one of my nostalgia decks, but I thought infernity would most likely have the advantage. Close match, but happy to see Glad Beasts take the W.
I wonder what GB could have been if they were given battle phase focused support to function like Tenpai, rather than support to make them function like just another combo deck.
I hope you see this because I believe it’s important. I have seen the most skilled players play MST then heavy storm in order to clear a back row. Ideally, this would be to MST, a solemn judgment and then clear the rest of the back row in order to move forward. I’ve done this myself. Please make sure you’re using this technique moving forward.
now that i think about it, there is always xyz infernity but this was initialy made as a synchro deck and with links does infernity also have a lot of stuff to do. was there never successful infernity during those times?
We've seen synchro infernity in previous editions, and it made it to finals once, same for the XYZ version. Links infernity? Infernity never was meta relevant in MR4 and MR5, RUclips combo videos are just copium basically. If you've seen something like that doesn't mean it's really good, you have to watch tournament results to see good deck lists in competitive.
Damn that "crappy common" from Pharaoh's Servant did a great job against "set monster in the backrow" Deck Also game 3: no offense, but WHY TF didnt he set his backrow for at least survive much longer?
If there are a thousand Infernity haters, I am one of them. If there is one Infernity hater, it is me. If there are no Infernity haters, than I have died.
@@fn2025 you do realize that the metas were VERY DIFFERENT? Right? I’m not talking about this match up alone. Dial it back to 2008, Glad Beasts were the one of the most consistent and dominant decks of its time! Everything is meant to be powercrept after time. Card games in a nutshell.
People be sleeping on prime Gladiator Beasts man. Deck is super cringe, but you can't deny it's power. Can't say I'm super surprised though. XYZ Infernity is notorious for underperforming in the CBC.
Im very surprised that infenitys are doing as badly as they are i felt like i could get a full board with that deck all the time, like 11 cards no prob
gladiator beasts was nowhere close to tier 0. It may have been the best deck from the light of destruction format, but dark and light decks were still very prevalent.
This out very unexpected ... i never saw GB performing as this one but cold wave (back then) Judgment and THREE the winged beast one are DISGUSTING ... infernity really had his worst match up honestly, never play xyz version again i want triple trish or nada thats the only deck that delivers
The triple Trish deck list was featured before and didn't do that well xd. This version and the synchro version with triple barrier and 0 Trish made it to finals in previous editions, so these are the good infernity builds. The thing is, the deck is super unpredictable, sometimes is nuts, sometimes underperforms, and as you've seen, pilots also are a thing in this so... Yeah.

VOTES: GB (12%) vs. Xyz Infernity (88%) :D
Wasn't Sehabi's list from Nats better or am I remembering wrong? I just feel like not having grepher/monk in the deck is way worse.
As it turns out, cold wave is a pretty good card
Oof imagine not flipping up emptyness. Yes you can't do anything but you can delay a turn or two when coldwave passes. Huge upset because infernity didn't wanna use their floodgate.
they did not even try. if they have lethal, set maxx c, like, even if they normal summon, just TRY. this video irritates me
The infernity player was rough to watch
imagine having TWO and not even sitting one 😅
It wouldn’t matter because the Infernity hand was shit lol Glads were going to keep poking at them to death. lol
@@tony1992able i mean it definitely would have mattered because he lost due to the tag out into fusion each time.
yo... did we not chain emptiness to cold wave... that is pretty wild.

I might be wrong, but game 1, couldn't you have used MST during standby to hit the barrier so that you cold wave went through?
Yup, I saw it in the replay 😄👀👀
mustn't cold wave be very start of mp1? can't use anything before it.
Mst is a quickplay and can be played during drawphase/standby.@@Asch_Ente
Mst being a quickplay means it can be done on draw phase or standby@@Asch_Ente
@@Asch_Enteas long as u dont enter ur MP1 u can use whatever u want before cold wave or pot of extravagance
Yeah.... Infernity kinda threw 2 of those games. Like why not set an emptiness and mst when you have 2 of each? What?
People forget because of all the propaganda in Edison format that GB was not even close to a bad deck in its hay day, I think modern GBs might even do worse than og cause they don’t have cold wave and are still clunky
I mean... they won just because opponent was terrible 😅
not setting vanity when you had 2 is not a very smart move no matter what u can say
I was rooting for GB's - they're one of my nostalgia decks, but I thought infernity would most likely have the advantage. Close match, but happy to see Glad Beasts take the W.
4:56 the "most powerful card ever printed" in YGO came really clutch here 🤣🤣🤣

thank you cold wave very cool
My 2 favourite decks going against each other 😮
Sabía que esto iba a pasar, le veía el potencial y normalmente el deck vencido siempre tiende a ser derrotado de la manera más inesperada.
Wow. What a surprise, love that
Wow... This duel is amazing
In the 10+ years of you doing this, infernity has had the worst luck EVERY SINGLE TIME 😢
Was Exciton the right play Game 2? Lithium top decks tornado which is dead then Jones has exciton and maxx c and just wins right?
Now this was satisfying to see.
Two of my all time favorites
That was rough to watch. Simply flip vanity's emptiness on cold wave.
love that gb's clapped back
now that i think about it, there is always xyz infernity but this was initialy made as a synchro deck and with links does infernity also have a lot of stuff to do. was there never successful infernity during those times?

This turned into more of a slugfest than I expected.
Man, I love GB more than Infernity but I thought they’d get crushed. Glad to be proven wrong!
Damn that "crappy common" from Pharaoh's Servant did a great job against "set monster in the backrow" Deck
Also game 3: no offense, but WHY TF didnt he set his backrow for at least survive much longer?
kinda expected this imo, infernities have fallen off in modern hat format and glads have all the tools needed to really punish the deck
Also not neing able to set monster in the s / t zones also hurts 😂
unlucky, the infernity player forgot that he can chain break to cold wave to destroy the monster and prevent the -4
I fail to see how that would prevent a -4.
My pet deck. It actually won against xyz infernity.
If there are a thousand Infernity haters, I am one of them.
If there is one Infernity hater, it is me.
If there are no Infernity haters, than I have died.
Looping archfiend and launcher is pretty nasty ngl
I’m so glad I was wrong❤
People forget how broken wave was and it shows glad i said glads would win
Upset of the Century again with Infernities lol. Also Cold Wave, forgot Glad ran this.
Game 1 in draw phase typhoon the barrier.
Start main 1 cold wave would have been easy GG😭
While Infernity had so much power crept cards, GBs only need one and cold wave to get the engine rolling.
A well deserved win
That was unexpected
OMG! The biggest upset of this CBC tournament! Yeah, cold wave is a POWERFUL card….but still, Gladiator Beast was just a good deck back in its heyday.
Lets be honest it wouldn't even be close without cold wave, the traps just stop the normal summon and glads just can't do anything

@@tony1992ablethats for sure. It had its reasons why bestrisri & I believe Gyzaruz were at 1 back then
G1 GBs punted by not sp mst on barrier before using coldwave. If he did he would clear everything and opp cant play/set s/t on their turn
People be sleeping on prime Gladiator Beasts man. Deck is super cringe, but you can't deny it's power. Can't say I'm super surprised though. XYZ Infernity is notorious for underperforming in the CBC.
No it's not it does great every year 😅
@@thenightstalker6165if lithium pilots it yeah
@@connorpena373 it literally does good in every tournament it's been in even sacking wins over shaddolls idk what you're on about
@@connorpena373 the only deck I can think of that's consistently bad in the cup is qlis
@@thenightstalker6165i think people forgot Qli loses to tech genus once lmao
Just draw the cold wave I guess

Infernity best deck for life!! 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
No way GB beat Infernity.
Cold wave beat Infernity, let’s be real
Infernity wasn't exactly piloted that well
This out very unexpected ...
i never saw GB performing as this one but cold wave (back then) Judgment and THREE the winged beast one are DISGUSTING ... infernity really had his worst match up
honestly, never play xyz version again
i want triple trish or nada
thats the only deck that delivers
The triple Trish deck list was featured before and didn't do that well xd.

@@sejotejerina3732 thanks!
I just want to make infernity great again
Why exactly were glads invited? I get that it's a nostalgic archetype but like... it can't compete for shit and I thought this was a competition
Because of upsets like these.
You say on a video where they won. Smartest YT commenter
@@JoelBurgerIQ=🍞 🤣
man clicked on video... commented and left without watching video kekw
They are the most successful deck ever alongside Sky Striker and Nekroz, and even if they're not powerful deserve to be showcased
