"Hello~ Hello~ It's all nice to see sixteen hopefuls compete in this Beach War. Firstly, I think I should explain a prize."

"So, here's the deal. If you win the entire tournament, so first place, the prize you get is as follows:
I draw any vanguard unit you want for you (Full colour)
The next Tournament I hold, you can decide who you want to fight

"If you come second:
I draw your avatar of the tournament for you (Full colour) OR draw any vanguard unit you want for you (Black and White)
The next tournament select five players you want to fight and I'll match you up to one of the five.

"If you come third:
Draw your avatar for this tournament (Black and white)
The next tournament you choose ten people, and I match you up randomly to them.

"These are the prizes. Oh, I actually had a scrap prize: In my Cray's Collapse Book, you may either: Revive one DEAD character OR Add a new character yourself, and they CANNOT be KILLED for that book. And I'm not sure if I want it or not. Cause thinking about it, reviving a character would mess up my book and having an unkillabke character for that book makes things boring ~_~ Although, if there is popular demand for this prize, I will bring it back in a much more toned down version. Possibly. I don't know."

"Here are match-ups!"

Match-ups were determined by Random Result.com.

Group #1
competitor #1:    SoulSpirit67 (Aqua Force)
competitor #2:    amaterasuminerva (Great Nature)

The Wind Summoner vs Green Panther, the Aqua Force vs Great Nature match-up. I believe Great Nature will win because of their recovery skills, while Aqua Force will die from not having the right resources.

Group #2
competitor #1:    Tsukinawa_Yukino (Shadow Paladin)
competitor #2:    kylethebloodedge (Link Joker)

I believe Link Joker will triangle lock whatever formation Shadow Paladin has and retire when h locked and get hand. The soul will be a bit tricky, and if not careful a Phantom Blaster might come out of nowhere. However, Link Joker is the one I think'll win.

Group #3
competitor #1:    Shisue_Ikumashi (Angel Feather)
competitor #2:    YudaiMatsuro (has yet to give decklist) (Gold Paladin)

Both mega column decks, and both very strong. Gold Paladin might just have the edge here from recovery, but the speed which Angel Feather gets moving is also very good. However, Gold Paladin, might just win because of the way the deck works.

Group #4
competitor #1:    Little_Cute_Cookie (Pale Moon)
competitor #2:    Shinsei_Hono (Nubatama)

In a flash, both decks are constantly going mirage! Cards in and out of the soul, and cards from and back into hand! This match-up is one to look out for, because of the nature of how similar both work. I think Pale Moon will win, but as Shinsei's going rogue with a Limit Break~Stride deck, who knows what'll happen?

Group #5
competitor #1:    8mefox (Spike Brothers)
competitor #2:    ScarletFlames1 (Kagero)

Now, this'll be interesting to watch play out. Spike Brothers keep a relatively empty field late game, and they call early to make a Rush. However, Kagero relies on killing rear-guards, but what'll most likely save them is the Denial Griffin which'll disable chain attacks! I'd like to say I've won since I'm the holder, but since that's too pretentious of me, I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Kagero.

Group #6
competitor #1:    apocalypticFarce (has yet to give decklist) (Narukami)
competitor #2:    Goldinator (Tachikaze)

This has to hurt for Farce as Goldinator is a master at Narukami. What could happen is that mass retire could happen, or mass binding, depending on which Farce goes. Both require a board from the opponent, so who knows what'll happen?

Group #7
competitor #1:    shoguninfinite (Neo Nectar)
competitor #2:    RadinkaRayhanYosrifa (Royal Paladin)

Sho gets a insta win because Bloom

Group #8
competitor #1:    kaiishida (Gear Chronicle)
competitor #2:    Kimeraretaon_Mesagi (Oracle Think Tank)

This is literally Chrono vs Kumi. Gears'll most likely win but I'm hoping Nafi will pull triple crits in him just like in the anime... Heheheeheh
