We recently announced our intention to join the competitive circuit with a team of our own, and today we’re happy to announce the first official members of Team YGOrg!

First, a brief clarification for some of our readers. I understand it will be a bit confusing as The Organization is already a team of translators that work on this site (of which I am an extremely proud member of), but this has nothing to do with them.

(Atem’s editing note: Memo to self, schedule internal discussions for appropriate names for each little sub-organization within my Organization.)

We are launching a team representing the site at events of competitive players who will work together to achieve a common goal using strategies we’ve determined together to best achieve success at YCS and other premier events. Many of you aren’t located in the United States and are unaware of things like the team circuit, so essentially we’re trying to group together some high quality players to represent the site at these team events as well.

With that said I’d like to formally introduce you guys to our starting roster. These 4 players were hand selected and did not apply. We will be adding many more, but team applications are open as of this post. If you’re interested in applying, please email Team@ygorganization.com
