Nice! I know people came from Maryland, North Carolina, Michigan, Toronto, and Montreal. Are there any other areas that were represented?

Like B-Daman! Go here!

What were the prizes for each winner at the end?

I cannot remember since we had to do it quickly outside the room because of the overtime. I know that stormscorpio1 got two golden Dark Knight Dragooon, to make a gold Synchrom.

How many people attended?

Read my post.

What combos did the winners use, if you don't mind me asking ?

Wow!! I had an incredible time, I cannot believe I made it into the finals, but turns out the competition was just too fierce to handle.

It was amazing to meet all the bladers from all different areas. I feel like I've definitely made some friends from all over NA.
Good job to everyone who attended. I saw some real promise from some of the young'ins.

I'm sorry that I couldn't stay to see the very end of it all, but I had some plans with people who were getting rather restless that I wasn't joining up with them. But a belated congratulations to the winners! (Psssst. Jesse, you totally owe me a part of that prize! )

Also amazing was getting to chat with the two VO's from the anime. Having them participate in the festivities was such a huge plus. They were really cool guys!



I <3 this community.

Congratulations, it's really refreshing to see a name I don't recognise that well win AN, and I must say I'm glad to see you're a real good sport about it, too.

Combo thief lol you stole my combo in the finals.

That's tournaments dude - it's always a really good idea when using a combo at a big tournament to also know a way to counter it or at least what to do if someone sees you using it and does the same. Backup plans for backup plans

I just wanted to say how AWESOME it was being at the tournament. You guys are all amazing and I absolutely LOVED watching you play.

It was great meeting all of you and I really hope to be invited and to attend any other events that you guys hold.

Thanks again for the incredible time, you guys rock.



Edit: I originally didn't see this.

We additionally have to give a special shoutout to Benjamin and Mac, voices for Toby/Faust and Zeo in the Beyblade: Metal Masters and Metal Fury shows, for showing up, being really eager to meet the fans and take part into our Beyblade tournament, and signing their characters' Beyblades to give away to the first-place and second-place winners !

It was an absolute pleasure! Loved meeting you and thanks for everything!

Thank you so much for coming! It was an honour meeting you! Hope to see you at another tournament soon!

Congrats to all the winners! I had an awesome time! Too bad that I couldn't stay till the end. I feel honoured to be part of this community.

Congratulations to everyone who was able to participate in this historical first North American Championship! It was easily the highest concentration of competitive beybladers that I have seen at any one event. Big congrats to Stormscorpio1 for the win and also to all of the finalists.

It is apparent from this tournament that the zero-g format produces exciting match-ups with many different strategic combos evolving the game.

Great success WBO! You put on an outstanding tournament and have fostered a wonderful community environment.

Nice! I know people came from Maryland, North Carolina, Michigan, Toronto, and Montreal. Are there any other areas that were represented?

yea, Massachusetts!

Chicagoooooooooooooooooooooo!

I am your dog.
Thanks for the sig, Rock kyoya!

Congrats to Ss1, Yuko Ray, and JesseObre for the awesome victories. I'm coming for you Stormscorpio! Have videos of this event been posted on youtube?

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for not posting earlier; I got home late last night and just haven't had the energy until now to post my thoughts. I'd first like to start by quoting something I wrote in the first post of this tournament thread. I'm not sure if all of you saw it or not, but:

Over the years, expanding the Blader population has always been one of the primary goals of the AN tournament; hence it was branded as "BEYBLADE CRUSADE" for the past two years. However, for those of you who have attended the event in the past, you'll know that there has always been a secondary goal behind the event: bringing friends together and the fostering of relationships. This has always been so incredibly meaningful and inspiring because of the wide range of people who attend the event: people who live just a few minutes away, people who live in another province, people who live in a different country, and even people who live on a different continent! And this year, with the qualifiers flying/busing in from across North America, this aspect will only be further emphasized.

And further emphasized it was. To me, "Crusade" implies growth. "Revolution", on the other hand, implies not growth, but progress and change. And it's a type of progress that goes against the flow of what other people and society at large expects. The momentum propelling our crusade over these past five years may have slowed down slightly, but the earnestness with which we all have loved this game, has not. In fact, it is as if we have come full circle over these past five years since Metal Fight Beyblade was launched in August of 2008, and since we hosted our first tournament at ANIME NORTH as Beywiki/World Beyblade Organization. We've traveled through a complete revolution. And with the conclusion of BEYBLADE REVOLUTION, it's clear that we've started another one.

The future for Beyblade beyond the next couple years is still too brilliant for me to see, but what I do know is that the community and relationships we've forged are strong, and that we will only continue to grow together as Bladers and as friends. There will always be something we can learn from each other and about this hobby that we love. This was definitely something that I felt deeply as I met everyone at the tournaments this year.

My thanks go out to not only everybody who came out to play–especially those of you who made the journey from places outside of Ontario–but to every single WBO member who has ever donated to us or played in one of our tournaments around the world. It is all thanks to you guys that this was even possible in the first place. It was truly awesome to finally make the "North American Championship" dream a reality.

By the way, unfortunately the two people for whom the trip would have been really worth it, Flutterpants11 from California, and Barreto from Puerto Rico, could not come for two completely different reasons. We would have really liked to see them at BEYBLADE REVOLUTION as well, especially since they both represented regions that otherwise had no activity, like the west of North America, but hopefully we could postpone that meeting to later.

Yes! I was really disappointed that both of you could not make it. However, please do expect to receive "Qualifier Champion" medals in the mail at some point in the near future!

I wonder what'll happen next year?

Good question!

Congrats to everyone and hope u all had fun

Congratulations to you, Jesse! Are you glad you came now? Haha. I knew you'd do well.

What were the prizes for each winner at the end?

Wow!! I had an incredible time, I cannot believe I made it into the finals, but turns out the competition was just too fierce to handle.

Regardless of how it ended, you should definitely be proud of making it to the finals; especially at a tournament as competitive as this one was!

I just want to thank all the people who made this championship possible a huge thanks to kei for organizing the event and to everyone who donated to the wbo making this a possibility and I am honored to have been able to attend this huge milestone for the beyblade community and I hope the the tourneys just keep getting bigger and better from hear and it was great meeting all the new people I meet (suntailhawk) and many others and thank all of you who congratulated me on my victory this just shows once again how amazing of a community that the wbo is and will be for years to come

Even though I was disappointed to see JesseObre lose to you, I was happy to see you bounce back after a relatively poor performance at BEYBLADE REVOLUTION: The Insurgents on Friday. Congratulations on the win.

I just wanted to say how AWESOME it was being at the tournament. You guys are all amazing and I absolutely LOVED watching you play.

It was great meeting all of you and I really hope to be invited and to attend any other events that you guys hold.

Thanks again for the incredible time, you guys rock.

Hey! Seeing you guys show up was a pleasant surprise, to say the least. Thank you for the Beyblades you donated, and for entertaining everybody with your astounding Beyblading prowess. Both of you (and any of your fellow Beyblade voice actors!) are certainly more than welcome to attend any of our future tournaments!

(By the way, don't forget to wear your WBO t-shirt next time YTV interviews you )

Have videos of this event been posted on youtube?

Not many, but dr. leo sent me this one a few hours ago:

I also was able to find these videos from both Friday and Saturday on Youtube:

I have a ton of footage myself that I'll be putting together in some way for BeyChannel, but it will take a little while for me to edit all of it. If anybody else has footage or photos from either BEYBLADE REVOLUTION: The Insurgents or BEYBLADE REVOLUTION, please send it to me! Compress the unedited video/pictures and upload them to a filesharing site like mediafire.com or DropBox and PM me the download link.

This was meant to be posted outside of the room ... but I forgot it at the hotel. D:

Finally, I have to thank everybody who helped to judge and organize at BEYBLADE REVOLUTION: Blue, Blader Monk, JesseObre, Stars, geetster99, lord Wolfblade, Crimson, Pockyx3, Spinster, Bey Brad, Daegor42, Hazel, Uwik, Kai-V, and last, but not least, Arupaeo! Without Arupaeo's commanding voice and familiarity with Challonge, the tournament surely would not have ran nearly as smoothly as it did.

Wow my match is posted. I made a bad call i nthat match. I thought he was going left spin.

I think there is more than one! He was around for a large portion of both tournaments, but he unfortunately had other commitments during the convention so he wasn't able to stay for the entire tournament on both nights.

Starting saving! Haha.
