First of all, congratulations! How does it feel to be crowned champion at this level, beating other regional champions?

It feels really good. I must be really lucky to be here and to beat a lot of other good players, so it feels really good.

Are you excited to go to Japan?

Yes definitely! I’ve been there before, but this is definitely something different. It is a paid trip first of all, and it will be exciting to meet other people from different continents, like Southeast Asia, Europe etc., and see their skill level.

You said this is not your first time. Have you been there before?

Yeah, I’ve been there before, but just for holidays.

Besides the World Finals, what do you wish to do there?

Probably shopping I guess. I think they’re quite a fashion-forward country, and I will probably be shopping for clothes there. That’s the thing I like.

Is this your first time participating in Bushiroad World Championship? How did you perform in the previous years?

Yes, this is my first time participating in this. I haven’t been playing that often in the past couple of years. I started off with the Set 1, which is the Alfred etc., but later on I came back because of the Lambros. I love Aqua Force and I am an Aqua Force fan. When Lambros came out, I think the deck was busted, so I decided to come back and play the game.

Oh great! So how many years have you been playing the game?

I’ve been playing the game for 2 years approximately, then I stopped for a while before deciding to come back again. This is my first competitive event.

Marine General of Heavenly Silk, Lambros

Do you have a favorite card? And why is that?

Definitely Marine General of Heavenly Silk, Lambros is my favorite card. Because it’s broken! I love Aqua Force and it’s broken, it’s actually really broken! When the new Aqua Force comes out, I will be happy to play it again.

Is there anything else do you wish to say about this event?

The event was really good and I think it’s really well sponsored. Thank you for everything, and thanks to Bushiroad for the sponsors. Without them, I don’t think we will have the event today. So definitely a great event, I will say.

Thank you very much for all your time! Is there any last-minute words you want to say to anyone?

Ah yes, thanks to my friends back home that practiced with me and support like deck-side make. Even though some ideas are not that great, they are always supportive of my ideas, and I’m thankful for them. Yah they practiced with me, I’m here and I won!!

Congratulations again for winning the 1st place for Cardfight!! Vanguard. Thank you very much!

Congratulations! How does it feel to be crowned champion at this level, beating other regional champions?

Knowing that it’s not my first time participating in these kind of tournaments, it feels good to finally reach the top level! (I usually finish 2nd haha)

Are you excited to go to Japan? Will it be your first time to Japan? Besides the finals, what do you wish to do there?

Yes, of course I am excited.

This will be the second time I go to Japan (the first time was also thanks to Bushiroad). Playing card games to get to Japan is awesome!

I would like to visit Tokyo, try the food and enjoy myself with my friends, who will also go to Japan.

Is this your first time participating in Bushiroad World Championship? How did you perform in the previous years?

No, I came in 2nd last year in France, third in Europe and first in the UK Qualifier in Manchester this year.

Can we know your strategy in winning the games?

I tend to focus more on consistency, playing carefully and being aware of the game state. Basically my deck can do well against all kind of decks, in this format.

Lizard Soldier, Conroe

Do you have a favorite card? Why?

Lizard Soldier, Conroe. It’s a very good card in Kagero, getting out your important Grade 1s like your Perfect Guard, Lava Flow Dragon and is also useful with its 10k shield.

Anything else you wish to say about the event and the game?

I am really proud to represent UK and France, especially considering what happened in France just recently. I lived in England, so I am really grateful for what I have learned over there from the player community.

I feel proud to represent both countries. I am not particularly favoring one over the other considering what I owe them!

See you in Japan ;)!
