Earlier in October, Cyberzone became the center of attention for the local trading card game community as it hosted Pro Quest: Yokohama—one of the most important events for Flesh and Blood TCG players in the Philippines. With participants from across the region battling for coveted Pro Tour invitations, the event marked another milestone for the country’s growing competitive scene and showed how far the community has come since the game first took root here.
What Flesh and Blood (and Pro Quest: Yokohama) Is All About
For those new to it, Flesh and Blood TCG (or FaB) is a hero-based trading card game that blends skill, timing, and resource management in a way that feels closer to an intense duel than a typical deck battle. Every turn is a tug-of-war between attacking and defending, where each card can serve multiple roles depending on how you use it. Players don’t just build decks—they build strategies around their heroes, weapons, and equipment, adapting constantly to their opponent’s moves.
What makes FaB stand out is how it brings players together—literally. The game’s creators designed it to be played “in the flesh and blood,” emphasizing live events, store gatherings, and face-to-face matches. That design philosophy has shaped a player base that’s not just competitive, but also deeply welcoming. Newcomers will often find veteran players willing to teach, lend cards, and help them improve. The Philippine FaB community captures that perfectly: passionate, skilled, but never too serious to share a laugh between matches.
And because FaB is structured around an international tournament circuit, competition naturally encourages travel. Local champions like from Pro Quest: Yokohama, for instance, move up onto global stages like the Pro Tour—with the next one set to happen in Japan next year. For everyone else, there’s an alternative route: get Top 2 in a Battle Hardened, or Top 8 in a Calling Tournament, and you’ll be awarded a Pro Tour Invite (PTI), which you can use anytime (it never expires!) to qualify for the exclusive Pro Tour and World Championship of your choice!
Highlights from Pro Quest Yokohama
The two-day tournament held at Cyberzone brought together dozens of players eager to prove themselves on the path to the Pro Tour. After a full weekend of tight matches and well-calculated plays, Jet Malabed emerged as the champion of the Classic Constructed event, piloting Dash I/O to victory. On the following day, Jaime Manzano claimed the Living Legend crown using Viserai, closing out the weekend with an incredible run that earned both champions their invitations to next year’s Pro Tour in Japan.
The event showcased a diverse mix of heroes and strategies that reflected how deep and creative the game’s meta has become. Mechanologists, runeblades, warriors, and ninjas all had their moments under the spotlight. But more than the competition, it was the camaraderie that stood out—players shaking hands after every match, sharing tips and matchup knowledge between rounds, and discussing plays long after the finals had ended. It’s that same mix of intensity and friendship that keeps Flesh and Blood tournaments feeling alive in every sense of the word.
Why Cyberzone Was the Perfect Setting for Pro Quest: Yokohama
Hosting Pro Quest Yokohama at Cyberzone made perfect sense. While it isn’t home to dedicated card stores (yet), Cyberzone naturally fits the lifestyle of TCG enthusiasts. Many players who love deck-building and strategy games are also deeply into gaming, gadgets, and tech—the same things Cyberzone is known for. Surrounded by stores offering everything from gaming peripherals to the latest consoles and accessories, the venue felt like a space that celebrated every side of geek culture.
The layout also offered enough room for both players and spectators, ensuring smooth rounds and comfortable seating for long tournament days. And in true Cyberzone fashion, the lighting, facilities, and atmosphere gave the event a professional yet relaxed feel—one that matched the energy of the competitive crowd while keeping it accessible to casual visitors curious about the game.
From Cyberzone to the World Stage
With Pro Quest Yokohama now in the books, all eyes turn to Japan, where the upcoming Pro Tour 2026 will welcome the world’s best Flesh and Blood players. For the local community, it’s about being part of something that continues to grow, connect, and inspire. From weekly store Armories to major events like this, every match adds another layer to the story of Philippine Flesh and Blood.
And if one thing’s clear after this weekend, it’s that Cyberzone has proven to be a perfect stage for moments like these—a place where passion for gaming, technology, and shared experiences all meet in one space.
