"Bang..."
Amid a dull thud, a player's corpse hit the ground. His head lolled to the side, and all his HP vanished on the spot, killing him outright.
"Dead."

As expected, during the tournament, players don't immediately explode into polygonal fragments. Instead, they remain in the form of corpses like this.
This was one of the settings found in the various official events held in GGO, including the BoB Tournament.
If contestants exploded into polygonal fragments and left the tournament grounds after being eliminated, then revived outside, they might reveal information about the match, effectively cheating.

This state was just like Remaining Fire in ALO, except Remaining Fire lasted for only one minute, while this state persisted until the match ended.

Luo Zhen intended to occupy it.
After all, Luo Zhen was a sniper
