​Rhymus Lizo is from New Jersey, and represents Team Overdose. A relatively unknown player until last week, he made the Top 4 at SJC New Jersey. Seventeen-year-old Toko Masaki is from Memphis, TN. Masaki has never competed in Nationals, never made Top 4 at a Regional, and yet here he was, sitting at table 1.

“This is a first for me” said Masaki, happy to be at table 1.

“You’re at table 1 for a reason, buddy!” Lizo greeted him with a smile, but no desire to underestimate his opponent.

Team Overdose placed two members into the Top 8 of SJC New Jersey, and one of them was Rhymus Lizo. With a style that boggles his opponents and onlookers, Lizo is one of the most exciting duelists to watch, making thrilling decisions that are often difficult to comprehend—but always work out when his plan comes to fruition.
 
Coming off of a Round 2 win, placing him with a 2-0 record, Lizo was clutching his heart as he stumbled off from the table. “I can’t believe I won that!” he quickly explained, opening our interview.
