Win, lose, or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on.

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!
