The Yu-Gi-Oh! Open Tournament Hong Kong 2014 was a two days event. Day 1 consisted of a 6 rounds Swiss to determine the top 64 players. These 64 players will then continue in a single elimination tournament on Day 2.
The metagame was heavily dominated by Star Seraph Shaddoll. Utilizing the new Pendulum Summon, Qliphort has a strong finish at the Top 8, but was no match for Star Seraph Shaddoll. Surprisingly, a Star Seraph Agent deck took a spot in the Top 8 as well.
The finals saw two duelists who traveled from Thailand to play in this tournament. Having built the deck together, Pottichai Khajornkiattikhun and Wittawin Wailsuparat were spotting similar Star Seraph Shaddoll decks, with only minor variation in the side deck. Eventually Pottichai Khajornkiattikhun came out ahead and became the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Open Tournament Champion!
