Last weekend, we concluded the Bushiroad World Championship 2015 (BWC2015) Asia-Oceania Continental Championship. This marks the end of all Continental Championships for BWC 2015. The Top 2 winners from the Asia-Oceania Continental Championship will be invited to Japan for the World Finals, joining 8 other players from North/Latin America and Europe!

We had the privilege to interview David Adipratama, champion of the BWC 2015 Asia-Oceania Continental Championship. David previously placed 3rd at the BWC 2015 Australia Regional Qualifier. This time, after 4 intensive Swiss rounds, Best of 3, he successfully entered the Top 4, and was eventually crowned champion! Congratulations to David!

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

It feels good! For Cardfight!! Vanguard, I usually get to the last stages of the tournament but generally only win the 2^nd or 3^rd place. This is my first time getting first place so it feels really great.

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?

I’m very excited. I have never been to Japan before so it will be my first time. I have made plans to go but due to some last minute issues the plan never go through. I hope this time finally the trip will really happen.

Beside the finals, I probably want to go shopping in Akihabara. I usually get my friends to do it for me, but I have always wanted to do it myself.

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

I have been participating since 2013, but my performance was not great then. I used to play Japanese format, but since last year I changed to English deck. I got 5-2 in regionals last year, so I didn’t make it to Top 4. So I am very happy with my result this year.

Can we know your strategy in winning the games?

I am playing Aqua Force deck. Usually people relate Aqua Force with multiple-hitting rear guards, but my strategy is more focused on drawing power. So I draw a lot, and if I have a lot of cards in my hand I can have a good build and I will try to one-shot my opponents. So basically my strategy is big hand, big build, and big power as well. It works well against heavy-retire deck or control deck, in my opinion.

Battle Siren, Orthia

Marine General of Heavenly Silk, Lambros

Do you have a favorite card? Why?

Probably the card that has carried me the most to Victory is Lambros from Aqua Force. It’s just so good. The other ones possibly cards with Draw Trigger. I hope to draw cards with soul charge ability to give my unit +3000 power. Usually my damage check will be that one. The last one will be Battle Siren, Orthia. It’s cute, and it’s a good card with Resist skill.

Anything else you wish to say about the event?

I think it’s a well-managed event. I will be more than happy to participate in the next one, probably the team league in Bushiroad Spring Fest. This year my team managed to get Top 4, but there were no Continental Championships for my region then. If we are getting one next year, I hope to aim for that!

Yes, it’s about the time to talk about next year’s Bushiroad Spring Fest! However, before moving on to the next topic, there is more news on Bushiroad World Championship 2015.

We are going to have a live stream for the final match of Bushiroad World Championship 2015 Cardfight!! Vanguard World Finals on our Official Cardfight!! Vanguard YouTube Channel!* We are currently still preparing for it so more details will be revealed at a later date!
