YU-GI-OH has been around for more than thirty years, and has swept through generations with its epic manga series, anime series and the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game (TCG).
Last weekend, more than 50 enthusiasts gathered at the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament store, Cosmic TCG and Electronics Store, at Campbellville Georgetown, to participate in the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship: Regional Qualifier in Guyana.
The owner of Cosmic TCG and Electronics, Goswami Parmesar, explained that it was the first regional segment for the Yu-Gi-Oh competition, in which players participated in a series of rounds for points.
The players who finish in the top eight positions would receive prizes and invitations to qualify in the world championships next September.
“It’s [a] series tournament that they have to play from now till next year. So, around the world will have events. We have one again next week for qualifying points on Sunday. This is the first one for the season and they will keep playing and earning points,” he explained during an interview with this week’s Buzz.
“The more numbers you get, the more invitations will be given. Depending on our numbers next week, it will either be a top four or a top eight again, and they keep accumulating points over the season and next year the official partner in Yu-Gi-Oh!, will tally these points, and if they reach the requirement they will be given the invitation to worlds,” Parmesar added.
The season he said runs from now until March 2025. While Cosmic TCG and Electronics funded everything for the qualifiers, the Yu-Gi-Oh! partners will supply prizes and other perks for free.
He mentioned that Yu-Gi-Oh! Guyana has been around for 21 years, and over the years, many have tried to keep the community together; however no one took initiative to secure partnership with other stakeholders in the United States of America (US).
“I decided probably three years ago to start the process. Last year March, 2023, we signed the deal to become Yu-Gi-Oh! partners, and since then we’ve been working together in these events. You can say after 20 years we finally got one.”
Persons interested in being part of this excited community of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG can do so by visiting the store at its location and feel free to ask questions. Cosmic TCG and Electronics opens three to four times a week and persons can visit the friendly environment and learn the new rules of the game, as well as to mix/ interact with other players. Cosmic carries all products to start.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships invites players to duel with their best decks to become the world’s top duelists at the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is an exciting universe based on a card game played with monsters, spells, and traps. The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise includes a manga series, television series, several video games, the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game, and more.
Cosmic TCG and Electronics is the only official tournament store in Guyana, branded by Yu-Gi-Oh!.
