We’re only a few more days away from the clash between Belgians, so I
decided to check on how Jean-Lou Bernard, last year’s winner, is doing.
You’ve been our national champion for the past
year. Was it a pleasant experience?
JEAN-LOU: Yes. This experience allowed me to become a better player,
even while I’m still not in the same league as players like Kim Van
Campenhoudt, Sebastien Gonzalez or Denis Scorcioni.
The game has changed a lot the past year.
Which was your favourite deck?
JEAN-LOU: My favourite Deck was post-september Dragon Rulers. The only
problems were Sixth Sense and Return from a Different Dimension.
What’s the best Deck at the moment, in
your opinion?
JEAN-LOU: The best deck right now is obviously Mermail, but I’m a bit
tired of its gameplay, so I don’t really feel like playing it.
How did you prepare for this tournament?
JEAN-LOU: Sadly, I haven’t really been able to properly prepare because
I have really important exams coming up. I don’t even think I’ll be able to
make it to day 2.
Do you have any advice for those who will try
to succeed you?
JEAN-LOU: I believe that anyone who wants to become the champion can do
so realistically, but you need to sacrifice a huge amount of time and in most
cases money to reach a well enough level. Still, Yu-Gi-Oh! is and will always
remain a game involving luck, even when you are very skilled.
the Champion has spoken!!!
