The first day of Polarfluke: Heaven's Devils has come to a conclusion. Day one saw only round robin games being played, and the tournament will be concluded after Sunday's single elimination bracket games are completed. Thirty two competitors will square off tomorrow afternoon to be declared the winner of the tournament.
Each set of games will follow a best of 3 format. The brackets for tomorrow's matches are the following:

Bravado's SC2 captain, Travis "Shase" Weedon will face off against Beanhead in his first game of the day. Other notable players on Shase's side of the bracket include Stripe, Hoender and Kreeflewer.
Another member of the Bravado staff team, Alwyn "Zdrag" Kotze is also competing in the tournament, and he will square off against Mcnoob in his first match. Other notable players on the left hand side bracket include AngryAfrican, Silva, and Dreamer.
skillbill's predictions:
I personally think the tournament will see a repeat of Polarfluke: Released's matches. Angryafrican will once again face his brother, Dreamer, in the left hand side semi final, whilst Kreef and Shase will play in the right hand side semi.
I expect Shase and Angry to play against each other in the final, but I reckon Shase will beat him this time - unless AA can whip up something really original yet again. I think both players will adopt more mid-late game oriented styles to their gameplans, so don't expect too much 4gating or early marine bioballs going around if these two players were to square off against each other in the final.
