Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Championship 2010 August 14, 2010

August 14-15, 11:00 am start Saturday, 9:45 am start Sunday

The world's best and brightest Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) and Video Game players are coming to Long Beach, CA to battle for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc's (KDE) top Yu-Gi-Oh! honors of the year. After 12 months of tournaments and hundreds of Qualifying events across the globe, the greatest players will bring their best Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks and skills to Long Beach in hopes of being crowned 2010 World Champion.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World Championship will include the top players from the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Asia, Oceania and Europe to compete for the coveted title of Champion. Due to its collectability and strong game play, the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG has become the world's number one selling trading card game of all time* with more than 22 BILLION cards sold and enjoyed by millions of players on every inhabited continent.

The final quest to reign supreme begins on August 14 as the World Championship unfolds over the course of the weekend. KDE is also offering public events open to everyone - for those not participating in the World Championship. Attendees can participate in various events like Regional Qualifiers, King of the Hill events, and (for Duelists age 12 & under) Dragon Duels. There will also be activities for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans looking for something more casual than a tournament setting. Special World Championship 2010 packs will also be given away to select participants.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Game World Championship will also be held pitting world-class Duelists from around the globe on the center stage. Competitors have battled for months, to make it to the World Championship event with a single goal, to be crowned the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Champion. Competitions leading up to the finale have been played using Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia, allowing Duelists to completely craft a customized Deck worthy of making it to the World Championships.
