The story

Welcome, trainers. If Baltimore and Frankfurt had seen the dragon stumble, Brisbane is its revenge. Plain Dragapult ex is the most-played deck, 125 pilots, and takes almost a third of them to Day 2: 38.

The Top 8 has six Dragapult, in every guise: plain, with Dusknoir, with Blaziken. In the final Khoo beats Yamaguchi in the mirror and brings the title to Singapore, the country that will host the 2027 World Championships.

In third place Brent Tonisson, already third at the San Francisco World Championships: the Australian dragon never misses a beat.
