YCS Bologna 2023 - Final - Anthony L. vs. Joshua S. 

LeBron has 4 NBA Championships and Josh has 4 YCS Trophies.

fun fact.. all those ami pro's travelling over the world to attend atleast 15 ycs a year.. while josh is playing just 4 ycs a year. truly belongs to one of the greatest.

Insane how josh has been so consistent for all these years.

"I just played what i liked" absolute GIGACHAD

Oh my god i love Quem, I would die for Guiding Quem the Virtuous. This Ycs is going to change my life and gonna be the best thing ever

I havent played Yugioh in a year, but it is impossible not to tune in when Josh puts on a Masterclass. Sei dir gegönnt

Bystial Runick is scary man, everyone is sleeping on Runick right now so no one has the side deck prepared for it, and the Bystials are so freakishly grindy, such a great meta call from Joshua.

Insane tournament from Joshua, more than deserved win for the 4th time now. But lets also not forget that except for the time situation in the last duel (where he basically didn't really had a real win con) Anthony also played really well and I can definitely see him being in more YCS finals in the future and maybe even winning one.

Josh is an absolute madlad for winning a YCS with a Deck that he and chat came up with on a Master Duel stream. Gigachad

Josh story arc so far: 2019: Triple engage from Raye and he refused. 2023: I'm gonna engage Raye and dump her for Quem in the same year.

Congratulations for Farfa for winning his first YCS!! We are proud of you 💓💓💓

Josh played till the very last second hard and resilient. Bystial against R-ace is a horrible matchup but he pulled it off with his runick variant. I love to see it

Has to be one of the best ycs finals and one of the best ycs in general

I love watching genuine high level yugioh in a format like this where skill is super prevalent and 1 deck isn’t just an instant win. This is the yugioh I love to see and great players being the best at what they do is great in any game

Joshua hat so abgeräumt das ist nicht zu glauben, es sei ihm gegönnt 🤙🏼🤝

He is him.

the fact that this deck is really came out from his twitch chat is really amazing

no longer washed, hes just CLEAN

Josh u are the best!!! U deserved it so much ❤

Joshua doing gods work and keeping Runick in the eye of the Konami watchdogs so we don't have to suffer the Runick Stun strat.

Congrats to Josh he really knows how to play and get inside the other players head. I can’t wait for my locals tomorrow 🥳

I miss Bologna Format so much

WHY ALWAYS JOSH. GOAT

Josh é simplesmente incrível! Com certeza testarei isso no Master Duel 💪

That was actually incredible for once. I wasn’t expecting to see some of the cards Joshua was playing with. Definitely not standard procedure.

Even if I don't play current format, i come back to this vid every once in a while..

Anthony in utter denial in that final phase.

He is cracked at Yugioh

Why top 8 video is delated?

Der typ ist einfach gut ..Glückwunsch

Josh is perfectionist, i like the way he arrange opponent's cards after seeing them

Not only Josh but Anthony too played insane here! Great game from both and congratulatios to Josh for his 4th win!

Thank YOU, Ed! For being such a stellar host.

Where can I found Anthony's list?

He almost lost to imperm column, it was game if regained resolved

Josh needs to come to NA and show how it’s done

Josh legend duelist

Anthony knew he was dead as soon as magna dropped.... amazing match played by both

59:19 1:00:12 - I feel very honored! Congratulations to Joshua for winning his 4th YCS in Bologna!

Game 3 was so funny to me, Josh had almost an otk at turn 2 with a "runick" deck hahahah

Where is the apple?

crazy final, ggs

So... why is there a timer in grand finals?

King of Game

Best League of Legends finals of all time. 🙂

Josh is married to runic at this point 😂

Joga muito, merecido demais

Crazy its been this long since the last European YCS while the US will had 4 in that time...

Man, time rules are super rough. Those duels werent even long

So how did he add cartesia to hand game one? The runic fusion never touches grave sooooo

I feel like Anthony did alittle to much game 3. He over extended and didn’t need to and got punished. He was also playing way fast when he didn’t need to. His opponent is on runick bystial vs a fire deck. Should have just done the standard line set 4 under 5 summons without putting darks and lights. He might have still lost but josh would have had to use no runick spells in main phase which he definitely drew the hand to do it.

What a shame that it ended like that. I am really not a fan of the time rules.

It's Joshua's dinasty in ycs he conquer the whole ycs!😊

What did damage to Anthony in game 2? suddenly he went to 2400 LP

Joshua used Branded Regain in the same column as Imperm right ?

That's my GOAT

Runick & Bystial chads rise up!

The time rule seems to be kinda flawed considering that the other player can stall with chains

Let's go Joschi!

GOATSHUA SHMIDT 🐐

I think finals should have atleast 50 minutes. Imagine yugioh Anime playing in Time out😂😂😂

grats and wp by both

With fountain at 1 we can't make Josh deck in MD I'm really looking forward to make it but 1 fountain can't make a good board.

im so glad we have live footage of joshua admitting runick stun is the best variant of the deck

cant wait for ycs pasta

Hydrant cannot be targeted for attacks while you control a rescue ace monster just saying

Lost to greediness game 3

Lets go josh

Joshua is the Michael Jordan of Yugioh

The clutch Nib

Good job master duel world champion

He nuts

The Sky Striker community is proud of you Josh ❤️

Should I get back into Yugioh?

Well done 😊 js

Fountain did nothing wrong! Back to two in MD!

How did he add Cartesia back in game 1. I didn't see a fusion being sent.

51:50 lol even in championship imperm columns baited

Nibiru is the most mvp card 🤝

Shouldn't the SP get banished even after tributing the dark witch in game 2?

Why wasn’t a token summoned to Anthony’s side of the field when Josh dropped nibiru?

I thought the Final game was played without a time limit? Or is that only for Worlds? If the top two are in the Final match playing for the champion spot of the event for YCS or Worlds it doesn't make any sense to me they set a time limit on the final game to determine the best player. It makes more sense to me that to determine THE BEST overall player, they should be left to play it down to the last Life Point or Card or Surrender, not to a technicality of a time limit. The time limit makes sense for the rest of the event to reach the top spots due to scheduling, but the final match for the championship I would think shouldn't need or have one.

one day

Great duel Should nibiru still be unlimited though? I5s such an insane card

47:15 TADAAAAAAAAAAAA.... whatttt!!!!

Anthony should have played mathmech instead. Terrahertz = game 😂😂

Il tipo ha perso per un linkuriboh di troppo...

Joshua the goat

I think Josh could win the first Game to, if he searched Freezing instead of Fire

He only won 'cos there wasn't any zoodiacs!

Not that it mattered, but how did Josh add back Cartesia at 15:38? No fusion monster was sent to his GY that turn

Josh bringing this deck from MD akes me wonder what would happen if grass is at three in tcg since people used to cook Ishizu cards into branded and necroface FTKs because the Ishizu cards came before Tear laments, proving that the Ishizu cards are retarded even without tearlaments

And that’s why I play super poly.

Verstehe aber nicht wiso er im Game 3 dualität nicht in der Battle Phase aktiviert hat . Dann hätte er 6000 damge + nicht in nibiru reingespielt

Dont see the pros of a timelimit

the Italian caster sometimes sounds incredibly scottish.

Kinda absurd the judges are made to stand up the whole time

The finals cannot end like this. CHANGE THE RULE FOR THE FINALS OR KEEP RUINING YOUR OWN GAME, KONAMI. Think straight.

😄👍🇩🇪💯

Thx a lot for the stream the meta player who say "you cannot win wothout playing meta " going on the long very long tunnel
