There is money involved, which mean he is PLANNING on it. AKA a duel, sorry that you cant follow that basic train of thought. But mal you would never even 1v1 my ninja mage. If you were on your main (Aldo) you wouldnt stay on screen with epsilon for more than half a second. Your a runner and that's all there is to it. A real pvper wont run in a 1v1, they'll fight it out until they die. We all know your old escape plan for a 1v1, summon hiryu say all kill then run across a server line and recall.
As for dueling being lost, you clearly are only saying that because you dont duel. Guys like sedric, Doctor Disfigure of pwnt, shifter, yu law, insta, mr. miagi, Dante. These people are good duelist who put up one hell of a fight and understand dueling. Just because you arent a duelist doesnt mean dueling is a dead art. A field fight doesnt prove skill, pots and other lame tactics like strangle or specials arent skill.
