Asian Championship History in Malaysia

Hey, guys! Sorry for being a long time not updating my blog and today I will share the small history of Asian Championship of Malaysia Final. In this coming Sunday(17th April 2011), we will see almost all Asian region top Yu-Gi-Oh! players excluding Japanese will be gathered in Malaysia due to the Asian Final Championship is going to be held in Malaysia and this is the first time Malaysia become the host of Asian Final Championship.

Before the Asian Final Championship 2011 is held, our main venue for Asian tournament was held at the top floor(6th) of Sungei Wang Plaza and it is located beside the Green-Box karaoke. This venue only able to support maximum 68 players to duel at the same time. Thus every time we having the Asian Championship, we will be divided into 2 section of duels and the format we used are knock-out based and it continue applied until the quarter-finals. As a result, a lot of players have very little chances to enter to the quarter-finals and it is time-consuming because they can only match the next duel players after the two section of elimination ends.

Apart from that, the judges quality is a bit unbalance and some of the judges are just Yu-Gi-Oh! players and they totally never have a formal training on Yu-Gi-Oh! rules and regulations. This means that their basic knowledge may not be good enough and some time they pretends to be profession in giving explanation of cards effect. This will arose the problem of unfair to some of the Yu-Gi-Oh! players and making them disappointed towards the national judges. Apart from that, most of these inexpert judges tends to not asking the rulings and advices from the head of judge when they are unsure of the cards effect and rulings.

This is a bit unfair to some of the Yu-Gi-Oh! players and this situation has been occurred for several years. Thus I hope Konami can concern of this problem and try to give some judgment guidelines to all the tournament judges so that they can give a fair judgment to us. The actual role of judges was to preserve a fair game to all the players and avoided some of the players from cheating. They are the one whose suppose to helps us to make judgment and solve our confusion on cards effect. In simple words, they are the one whose helps to reduce problems and making sure of fair game is happen during the tournament period.

I think this is the first time we having tournament at the concourse area of Sungei Wang Plaza and usually concourse area is use for others purposes others than having cards tournament(I'm not sure Sungei Wang Plaza had held this kind of event before). By having tournament at the concourse area, players will felt more pressure and once again this card game is re-introduced to public. Thus this card game may have more potential players after the end of this event. In addition, parents, youths and elders can learn of this card game and influence their mindset of "simplicity of this game". 

Okay, that's all I gonna share today. For more details of the tournament, please enlarge the picture and view it. Thanks for your time and wish you guys good luck. I will see you guys in the event soon. Please stay tuned for my next post.
