Or death, in which case Hord wanted the later. And it doesn't dear, Tormen literally decapitated his opponent in the first five seconds, maybe just pack it in already.
This isn't coming from me, I don't have the sources, it comes from Ant, who probably does have the sources.
He listed a duel, and a dejarik match, and something else.
Originally posted by JmanghanUhuh it's described as "one-part duel, one part large scale dejarik match" in a codex entry, but that's just a neat one-liner to give a flavour of what its like, a battle that (often) involves both lightsaber duelling and grand-scale manoeuvring, but in reality:

Taken from the SWTOR EncyclopediaThe only rules that a Sith must obey once a Kaggath begins is that no one outside each competitor's personal power base may lend any aid, and the battle must never directly harm the Empire.
Regardless, I think the others are right in assuming that this was not Kallig, as this is all the SWTORE has to say about his death:
No mention of a Kaggath, just an ambush and assassination. Also if Kallig had been stripped from history and his legacy obliterated, he would never have received a burial. Nor would his name be in any historical record.

There are no phases, as demonstrated by Tormen who engaged in neither duel nor "dejarik match."Regardless, I think the others are right in assuming that this was not Kallig, as this is all the SWTORE has to say about his death:

Wtf.

By demonstrating far superior power, obviously. A Sith Lord's power shouldn't be measured by just how flashy his lightning is.
Flashy or not, Thanaton [whilst amped by a very potent DS nexus] unleashed a Force storm that hit Nox directly, and he shook it off like it was almost nothing. First off, Dooku has never demonstrated to possess the ability to perform a lightning storm of that magnitude, not even amped. He has TK feats that are vastly superior to Thanaton's, yes, and his bladework undoubtedly surpasses Thanaton's, as well. That's simply not in question. But in regards to lightning specifically, he's not done anything that's above what Thanaton has pulled off. Second, an individual literally tanking such an attack and then proceeding to further destroy his attacker is not something we've seen often in SW, and is honestly as impressive as it gets.

Dooku pressing Yoda with his Force lighting is far more impressive darling.
Nah. We don't even know if Dooku was intending to kill Yoda with his lightning or simply injure him, and Yoda wasn't hit directly by a Force storm and he certainly didn't tank it. Also, he wasn't that pressed, tbh. We know Yoda wasn't going all-out against his former pupil, unlike against Sidious.
???
If Dooku was holding back that only makes the feat more impressive. As does the fact that despite catching the bolts, Yoda was still hard pressed. This is a feat for Dooku remember, not Yoda. Nor does Yoda going all-out have any bearing on his defensive capabilities.
For the record Yoda is described according to the AotC novelisation as turning it aside "but far from easily". In comparison to barely phasing Nox with a full blown lightning storm? Dooku shits on him yeah, and Yoda would crush him like a bug.

And what has Thanaton pulled off, exactly? He summoned lightning from the sky! And it was flashy af! Am I suppose to be impressed?
Like I said, just because it's flashy doesn't mean it's powerful. You claim Dooku never did something of that mangitude, but of what mangitude was it? What did the lightning storm do? Fail to kill Nox? Dooku would succeed.
