Konami Digital Entertainment will host its next Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event in North Charleston, South Carolina on January 31- February 1 at the Charleston Area Convention Center.
This YCS will be the second to feature the new VIP treatment for VIP Duelists who qualified via the VIP Qualifier tournaments at registered Official Tournament Stores (OTS). VIP Duelists receive free entry to the YCS, reserved seating, additional match coverage, and a two round bye in the main event.
Pre-registration runs Friday, January 30 from 3 – 7pm, and players will receive five Secrets of Eternity booster packs, the booster set which releases right before the event on January 16 (see “Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG: Secrets of Eternity'”). This event will also be the first chance for duelists to use the HERO Strike Structure Deck, which releases on January 30 (see “'Yu-Gi-Oh! HERO Strike Structure Deck'”).
The event will feature Dragon Duels for the younger players (born 2002 or later) on Saturday and Sunday. The winner of Saturday will play against the Sunday winner to determine the YCS Dragon Duel Champion.
The winner of the event will receive an Ultra Rare version of the "Ascension Sky Dragon" prize card, paid travel to a World Championship Qualifier (or if underage, winner and guardian), YCS Top Cut Game Mat, a PlayStation 4 system, and an invite to their 2015 World Championship Qualifier tournament.
Public events will include Regional Qualifiers, 3 vs. 3 Team Dueling, Attack of the Giant Card!!, Win-A-Mats, Battle Pack, and Battle City Tournaments held throughout the weekend.
