Overview:
The Local Legend Duelist Series (LLDS) is a new tournament series aimed at competitive Duelists. Those who prove themselves through the various qualifying events will be invited to an exclusive final where they can win special prizes!
The LLDS takes place across a number of Regions in Europe and Oceania. Each Region will run a 2-stage event program where aspiring Duelists will participate in Qualifying tournaments and earn invitations to a higher tier of events.
LLDS Stage 1 Qualifiers:
Your journey to becoming a Local Legend begins with Stage 1 Qualifier events. These are qualifiers that take place in your local store, similar to any other type of event you compete in locally.
The difference between an LLDS Stage 1 Qualifier and a regular Local Tournament however is that the winners will receive this exclusive Game Mat for first place, featuring Old Entity Hastorr!
In addition to the LLDS Stage 1 Game Mat above, a number of Stage 2 Invitations will be awarded to the highest-placed Duelists at each event. These are similar to WCQ: Regional Qualifier invitations but with one key difference, your invitation slot will not pass down to another Duelists if you already qualified at a previous Stage 1 event.
An invited Duelist can compete in as many LLDS Stage 1 Qualifiers as they wish, but can only use 1 invitation to enter a Stage 2 event. In addition,excess invitations cannot be sold, traded or passed on to other players.
To commemorate your accomplishment, every Duelist that qualifies for an LLDS Stage 2 event will receive a high-quality physical invitation letter. These invitation letters are special keepsake items that remind you of your achievements, you do not need to present them when attending an LLDS Stage 2 event.
LLDS Stage 2 Finals:
Those that have earned invitations through LLDS Stage 1 Qualifier events will compete in LLDS Stage 2 Finals. These are ultra-competitive tournaments where the best Duelists in each Region will face off to win big prizes, including the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Prize Card,Ascension Sky Dragon!
While the winners of each Region will take home an Ascension Sky Dragon, those that reach the Top Cut Playoffs will also be rewarded with the LLDS Stage 2 Game Mat, featuring Elder Entity Norden! The number of Game Mats awarded may vary depending on the size of the Region you are competing in.
