Progression Playoff LIVE - Season 7 Finale

Progression Playoff LIVE - Season 7 Finale is the seventh live special of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, concluding Season 7, the SEVENS arc, and is the series finale. It airs live on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's Twitch channel on March 1, 2023, and an edited version will debut on his YouTube channel on March 4, 2023. This episode raised money for the Syrian American Medical Society Foundation and managed to raise over $1500. MBT manages to squeak out the episode win, going 3-1 with his Trap-heavy Chaos deck. However, it was not nearly enough to catch Danny for the title of season 7 champion, as Danny wraps up a remarkable season with his second season title. MBT, however, does officially claim the prize of best winrate in the series overall.

## Background

In this episode, all cards that had previously been banned were unbanned, allowing each player to play with their entire cardpool. The tournament consists of a round robin preliminary, with the top 2 players in record advancing to the finals.

Danny has a massive lead despite his 0-2 in the final standard episode, and has nearly sewn up his second season victory. The only two with even a minuscule chance of overtaking him are MBT and Leah, who could manage it with a herculean effort combined with a complete Danny collapse. Gavin and Brent are simply looking to wrap up the series with a good memory.
