Winners' Finals: Fight! (2)

The first exchange began tentatively, with Lars unsheathing his sword in the very first move - a sign that he recognised his opponent's capabilities.

Similarly, Darius took a fighting stance and approached cautiously, taking one step after another closer to Lars.

The two fighters' ethos of battle was clearly demonstrated - Darius was always the aggressor and initiator while Lars leaned towards a reactive style of combat.

Darius approached to within 8 metres before Lars made his first move, merely angling his naked blade slightly to ensure the edge and tip were always facing his rival.

Then in a split-second, the two competitors burst into action!
