Glad to see you're back to the creative tournament titles! :D
Last year for PolarfluKe: MMMarch, only one Terran made it to the Round of 16, only to be eliminated.
This year, for PolarfluKe: March of the Marines, will the Terran players do better? Maybe GoOdy, or Polt? |

It is always fun coming up with creative tournament titles! It was sucking at my soul to be in a position where I didn't even have the time to sit and think of new titles 
With current form (last 3 tournaments):
February: RO16 - 4 Protoss, 4 Terran, 8 Zerg
January: RO16 - 6 Protoss, 5 Terran, 5 Zerg
XMAS: RO16 - 7 Protoss, 2 Terran, 7 Zerg
So I would say there is a good chance of having more than 1 Terran in the RO16!

Agh, too bad ReaL is out, but it was a deserved win by babyknight.
time for phoenix to revenge his team mate, and with most likely no zvz's for the rest of the tournament, the wind is in his favor! |
