BURST FORMAT
In just four short years, Zankye has become one of Youtube's most popular channels for Beyblade. His dedication to producing new content, travelling across the globe to meet fellow Bladers, giving away hundreds of Beyblades to his fans, and affiliating with the WBO has helped to earn him a loyal following that will soon be reaching over 100,000 subscribers around the world!
World Bladers, join us on October 11th at High Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to celebrate this impressive milestone with Zankye himself! This will also likely be the first ever ranked Burst Format event, so the competition is sure to be fierce! And the prizes, sponsored by Zankye might just be even better.

Side Event: Beyblade Burst vs. All Generations
There's more than one way to win! In addition to the tournament itself, we will also be hosting a special side event: Beyblade Burst vs. All Generations! How will it work?
1st Stage: vs. ~mystery Blader~ using Old Generations
The first stage of this side event will task Bladers with using a Beyblade Burst customization to defeat a ~mystery Beyblade~ wielded by ~mystery Blader~ from each previous generation of Beyblade: Plastics, HMS, and MFB. If the Blader can defeat all three Beyblades consecutively in single rounds, they move on to the second and final stage.
2nd Stage: vs. Zankye using Beyblade Burst
In the second stage, Bladers will be put up against Zankye wielding a Beyblade Burst customization. If the Blader who makes it this far can defeat Zankye in a best 3/5 BeyBattle, they will win a Beyblade Burst prize!
All battles will take place in the Burst BeyStadium Standard Type.

Heeeey, just checked out the Facebook before checking the WBO :3
Wow, seriously? Thanks Mitsu! Also, seeing the pictures of me really scared surprised me
Also, maybe do a post on how the tournament was and thank Zankye?

I love how im just casually drinking my Arizona while you guys take a serious blader photo xD
The day before the tournament, I got sick! I was really nervous about attending, because it was going to be cold out and I didn’t know if I felt well enough to just be there, let alone try playing against the many talented, incredible players in Toronto (you guys are AMAZING). But because the community was so kind to me and my girl friends in August, I knew I had to push through attend the tournament no matter what.
I have to say, it’s incredible the steps this community will take to make its newbies feel welcome. I had decided that I likely wouldn’t enter the tournament, but everyone I spoke to encouraged me to. All of you reiterated, it doesn’t matter how you do. It doesn’t even matter if you have your own stuff to play with. The point is to have fun. Even though I don’t know which Beyblades counter which yet, and I haven’t practiced enough to develop a strong launch, I feel so genuinely supported by all of you. I don’t feel like competitors will laugh at me if I don’t do well. I feel like everyone is so enthusiastic about teaching me new things, and helping me get better.
So I entered. And with the help of Bey Brad and the most incredible coach ever, 1234beyblade (who was generous enough, by the way, to lend me more than one Beyblade and teach me about many awesome combinations), I miraculously came out of my round robin heat 6-0! I still can’t believe it. Winning by fluke or what, I know that it was you guys cheering me on -- for the girl you don’t really know very well -- that brought out such spirit in me when I played my matches. I don’t have much confidence on my own in this game; it’s you guys who give it to me.
…In the semifinals, I got totally smoked. Haha! But I noticed something: nobody I faced gloated when they beat me. Everyone was so friendly, and complimented me on things that I was doing well, making sure that I wouldn’t get discouraged, always shaking my hand after the match.
And when 1234beyblade won the tournament, I was so elated!! He’s really such a talented blader, so humble and dedicated not only to playing hard, but sharing his knowledge with other bladers. Of course I was completely shocked, and so touched when he gave me his first place stadium. I cried (SO EMBARRASSING) but not because I was sad. It was because he’s such a kind and thoughtful mentor, and seriously, I’ve never been part of a community like this before: where people who have only just met me would do such selfless things to make me feel included. 1234beyblade was even so humble when I asked him to sign the stadium that he gave me!
And when he suggested, “you should get everyone to sign it!” how could I say no to such a great idea? All of you come together to make the WBO so special, and I’m glad that this stadium will always be my memory of how you made this an exciting, and exceptional tournament not only for me, but for everyone who played.
Thanks so much to Zankye and family for sponsoring this awesome day! Thank you Kei, for organizing a great tournament, And of course, thank you Brad, for bringing me into this community and showing me how supportive and fun and online community has the potential to be. Brad gave me my first red string launcher yesterday, as well as the pink Valkyrie that I love so much! Finally, I have everything I need to start practicing at home.
Brad, How come you haven't brought her to one of the tournaments sooner!
Thanks so much for the kind words, cadney. It means the world to me that my best friend can start playing and have such a great time immediately. Thanks for taking the leap of faith and coming with me!

Thanks to you as well Brad! Your my new inspiration. Thanks for creating the WBO. If theres one person you remind me of its Papa Smurf, minus being blue as well as being five inches xD

It is actually crazy the differences in dimensions. Take a look at the photo below.
I'm glad you're enjoying the stadium and your new beyblades, once you get more beyblades you can practice with Carley and Lani to become the best bladers in Toronto! I know you guys can do it!
P.S. my signature is so horrible XD *shrug*
I'm looking forward to being coached by you again! Actually, I think I'll be coming on Hallowe'en to the tournament with Lani. I really want to learn more about non-Burst blading.
I love your smaller team signature! So cute.
(Oct. 30, 2015 1:25 AM)cadney Wrote: I was wondering, do you guys ever have casual practice hangout sessions in non-tournament situations? I think that could be a really fun way to learn from one another about different combos, shooting technique, stuff like that.
Can't say we usually do. Unless you count pre-tournament free battling as a "practice hangout session", that is. Haha. Since we usually have tournaments every two weeks or so except for the winter, it might be a bit hard to find the time to do something like that without burning everyone out too much. But we can certainly consider it in the future! Especially once Burst is launched internationally, and there's even more people who are attracted to the game for the first time. The best time for them would be as an 'official' side event attached to a regular tournament though, I think.
