    Ryan is one of the most brilliant minds on this game. Had to play him THRICE in world championships and i can say that: he never misses anything. One of the greatest of our time.
    I Would also like to point out that of the 2017 Dragon Duel world championship, all the top4 players are still playing and doing VERY well. Ryan, me, Charley Futch and Eric Topel (who just made top8 in Raleigh) are the most stacked topcut of a dragon duel event of all times and i will defend my point until the end of times.
    Great video, always good to hear Ryan!
    29:00 edit: Ryan is not the only player to do so! Rafael Jose is a brazilian player and went for TCG in 2017, Duel Links in 2018-2019 and Master Duel 2023!

    Another great video, thanks for making these. As the guy who does most of the updates on the competitive wiki pages, I'm always happy to see little screenshots make it into these types of videos lol.
    One thing I wanted to add: At 38:26, you say that he qualified for 2024 Worlds by competing in 2023. I assume you just misspoke there, he qualified by winning the Duelist Cup in December. The only team that qualified directly was Josh's team. Also, Ryan said he's bringing Jesse and Ray again so we could get the rematch 😊

So I wanted to ask you again since I and a lot of other people would be really interested in knowing what happened at that YCS that freaking World Chalice won the entire thing.

    Im 19 and unfortunately despite playing since 2013 I had very little clue about the competitive scene till 2020. I would’ve loved the chance to do Dragon Duels or play at this higher level but I just didn’t know this whole other world outside existed until my high school years (wow i feel old). Im still learning and trying to be the best I can but it’s been hard juggling the cost of the game and finding time to make even locals sometimes. But I have been fortunate enough to attend YCS Indianapolis 2023 and NAWQC 2022 and while I didn’t go to attend the main tournament it was just the fact I was able to go with one of my best friends (who I met thru YGO) and even meet pro players and yugitubers was awesome to me.

    The chess comparison at the end is so wrong 😂 Chess has more draws, and player stats are classified into different categories. In chess, players can agree to draw as part of the strategy to win a tournament, so the win rate is not a good indicator. He is comparing two fundamentally different sets of information:
    Magnus Carlsen overall stats are extremely insane. He has a 65% win rate, but what matters is that he has a 15% game loss rate!
    If Ryan win rate in a master duel cup was 65%, Magnus online win rate is 85% with 0 loses. There is no comparison to make here. Magnus is just that good.

    The video was very well put together up until the last moments where you tried to compare Ryan Yu's record with Magnus's. Like, while Ryan Yu is one of the best yugioh players atm and still very young, you just can't compare his success to Magnus's. Magnus is a 5 time world champion with countless other ''premier event'' wins and has been at the top of FIDE's rating for over 10 years. It's purrely an insult to Magnus's performance.
