Here''s your new bracket:
The matches in Round 2 have gone to a best-of-3 format. Tomorrow''s matches will be in this format as well, but the championship matches will be a best-of-5 format. I don''t have match summaries, as it would take me all night to get those written up, but here is the output from the arena results files for each match:
Tailslide defeats HuBot
Match 1
Tailslide 100, HuBot 0
2:13 remaining in the match
Match 2
Tailslide 72, HuBot 0
2:47 remaining in the match
Comments: Despite the late start, Tailslide is proving to be a formidable opponent. HuBot never saw the grenades at his feet.
Dustbot defeats Mushu
Match 1
Dustbot 61, Mushu 0
2:39 remaining in the match
Match 2
Dustbot 17, Mushu 0
2:31 remaining in the match
Comments: This match was actually closer than it looks. If Mushu knew how to run away from grenades, then he could still be in the Winner''s Bracket. Dustbot is an excellent combat bot.
LiquidIntell defeats Hexagon
Match 1
LiquidIntell 75, Hexagon 0
2:40 remaining in the match
Match 2
Hexagon 52, LiquidIntell 0
2:14 remaining in the match
Match 3
LiquidIntell 43, Hexagon 0
2:36 remaining in the match
Comments: Hexagon uses good tactics but doesn''t ''evade the grenade'', which proves to be his downfall. LiquidIntell uses smother tactics with its gun.
Nosfera defeats HuBot
Match 1
Nosfera 71, HuBot 0
1:58 remaining in the match
Match 2
Nosfera 77, HuBot 0
2:37 remaining in the match
Comments: Nosfera likes to run away, which is proving to be useful. HuBot put up a good fight, but couldn''t muster enough offense to get Nosfera in trouble.

wuahhhh, i cant believe it, something is wrong, my bot wins in 9 of 10 matches against LiquidIntell, hmm and my bot evades nades (its a bit buggy but he does...), but we will see whats going on when the final submissions are released (me is sceptic)
hmm maybe the after midterm changes have killed my bot, cgrats liquidAir...
