Icewave vs. Fusion went... a bit anticlimactically, to say the least. One big weapon clash, then Icewave loses their weapon but Fusion loses something internally and just dies. It's a great bot, but reliability issues strike at the worst times.

The bracket looks really interesting. The top 4 seeds are Sawblaze, Whiplash, Ribbot, and End Game, while Blip is the highest-seeded rookie bot as the 7 seed. Two additional play-in fights have been added: Hydra vs. Defender to see who faces Ribbot, and Skorpios vs. Malice to see who faces End Game.

As much as we would all have loved to see a Whyachi family feud play-in fight, Fusion unfortunately didn't make the cut. Speaking of snubbed bots, P1 finally makes it into the tournament after getting snubbed a couple of times in the past and I'm happy for them.

As for specific matchups... Cobalt vs. Yeti, Mad Catter vs. Black Dragon, Minotaur vs. Bloodsport, and Jackpot vs. Tombstone are all happening in the first round, and all of those sound like absolutely insane fights that are going to end with a lot of carnage.

Overall, I really like this bracket. I'll think about it more and fill out my predictions after the 24-hour spoiler moratorium ends.
