Beyblade Burst Onto The Scene: Toronto was the first ever Beyblade Burst Tournament hosted by the WBO; the host of this specific tournament was Kei and the reason behind it was to celebrate the brand new series of Beyblade called “Beyblade Burst”. The tournament was held on Sunday, August 2nd, 2015.
This tourney had a lot of new faces which consisted of Dragoon z, cadney, and Lani. There was a big return of our eternal president: Bey Brad, everyone went insane once he was seen, Brad's return brought along three new members (voldie, cadney, and lani), and an awesome bey spirit to the tournament. Manicben is also a big deal in this tournament, he is a former London blader who traveled all the way to Toronto for this event (He was on a trip so it was convenient for him to stop by). All others who attended were former Toronto bladers, who support every Toronto tournament that comes up!
The "Beyblade Burst Onto The Scene" campaign was introduced by the WBO committee, this campaign allows all the big communities such as North Carolina, New York, Montreal, and Toronto to introduce the new series of beyblade burst to all the players able to attend WBO tournaments. Every person had a mandatory fee of $6 CAD to pay in order to support everything that was given at this tournament, which includes prizes and the seven beyblades which were given out to people without Burst Beyblade at the beginning of the tournament, this process was first come first serve, meaning the people who showed up first with no burst beyblades were able to get their own.
Many people did not have Burst Beyblade before the tournament, Bey Brad, 1234beyblade, Manicben and Kei were the only players that actually had Burst Beyblades before the tournament, this gave them an advantage because they had practice with them and knew how it felt to play with them and what was he best in the meta game as of releases up to B-11. Everyone else either bought Bursts from Kei, or they just relied on the single random part beyblade and launcher that the WBO provided.
Even though people did have a lot of fun using the brand new burst beyblades, there were some problems, mostly around the launchers. The first mold of both the string launcher and light launcher made it really hard for people to launch well consistently, this conflict lead to a new rule of unlimited re-shoot clause. Usually the burst beyblades would either get stuck on the launcher or there would be a very visible skip which makes the beyblade barely spin. Though these problem were fixed on the release of B-12.

User Experiences:
“Today was a very fun day! Testing out Burst was great seeing the new system attract some serious excitement.” Hato
“Today was the greatest day that I had, not just by placing 1st for the first time, but it was great to see that the tournament had succeeded. It was also great to see bey Brad come to play in toronto (thanks for signing my beylogger).” BlasterJoker1
“Then it happened. Some random guy with two girls (lovely people btw) came closer to us, and while I was thinking "who is that guy?" someone shouted BEY BRAD!!! I can only say I went into shock. Its not everyday you get to meet the founder of the WBO, the eternal president himself.” Manicben
“today's event was one of the best we've ever hosted. The excitement of the new series, the lack of pressure having to worry so much about BeyPoints for once (that's not to say it wasn't competitive; it certainly was. Just in a slightly different way)” Kei
“ It was really nice to meet all of you, I had such a good time! It was my first time ever playing Beyblade and I learned so much - it's a lot more skilled than I had imagined, I have a lot to learn!” Lani
“What an amazing event. I'm glad that you all seem to think so, too! I'm also happy I listened to Scott's advice and didn't tell you all I'd be attending. I wasn't sure how you'd all react, but I was completely floored by the warm greeting. You all really moved me today, and reminded me why this game and this community are so incredible.” Bey Brad
“Even though I didn't get to participate in the tournament, I had a really great time and will definitely be checking out future events. I was so pleased with how friendly and welcoming the community was. I'm already planning out a group order with the other girls!” Voldie
“I had an amazing time at the tournament, and even though it was only my second day playing Beyblade, I learned a lot of things and had tons of fun! I really appreciate how kind everyone was to me and my friends, even though we were newbies. You were so encouraging during my matches, and were always high fiving me when I did something cool. It was incredible, and I would definitely come out to more events in the future!” cadney
Conclusion:
Thanks to the big number of participants and highly positive feedback from all the bladers that have attended it seems like this Toronto event was one of the most, if not the most revolutionary tournament since a very long time. Beyblade Burst really did something MFB could no longer deliver, and that was innovation; thanks to the new burst gimmick everyone was on their toes in battles, being unable to predict the outcome, and thanks to this people were able to enjoy themselves very much. Since this was also the time when only a few Beyblade bursts existed it was really friendly to new comers, simply because the format was very easy to learn, not even considering the fact that there are only three parts of the Beyblade.
The meta-game at this time consisted of combos with Kerbeus stationary defense, and Valkyrie and Spriggan attack combos. Most of the parts were ignored by the players since the players that had bursts before anyone else told the inexperienced which parts were good and which were bad. The ignored parts consisted of: Wing, Fusion, Ragnaruk, Central, and Survive. A lot of people at this time believed that Survive was dominated by Defense, with that said BlasterJoker1 decided to use Survive and swept the competition which proves that Survive was in fact better in some situations over defense.
