Rich went 5-0 in the initial rounds of the tournament, which featured 32 of the best One Piece Trading Card Game players in the country who earned their slots through various qualifying events. Rich earned his slot in the tournament after placing Top 4 during the OPCG Majors by Aqua Card Games and Fire First in SM East Ortigas.

Shoutout and many thanks to my team, Team Aquone and Team Filipino Time for the practice and playing with me, to the paeat-all-you-can. You guys are solid!

The road to the championship is not easy for Rich he faced different leaders during the tournament. He first fought a Kin’emon followed by a Zoro mirror match. He then faced a Purple Kaido and RG Law for the third and fourth rounds and eventually share the win with his teammate Yel Catana who used Whitebeard.

The victory earned Rich, the championship title, a trophy, and a serial-numbered Luffy card while the rest of the top eight will receive an alternate art Chopper card.
