Konami Cancels and Postpones More YU-GI-OH! Events

As the days go by, things get weirder and crazier in the wake of COVID-19. Well, Konami has made a new announcement about upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! events in 2020. In short, basically everything’s been canceled or postponed. The good news is that if you were invited to participate in either the World Championship or the World Championship Qualifiers, you’ll get invitations for the events in 2021. At least the National Championships and YCS Pasadena have only been postponed. Hopefully, the world can soon return to some level of normalcy and the postponed events won’t become canceled.
