1st and 2nd have pretty clear leads, however 3 and 4 is a tight race. Personally I hope OpTic makes a great run this season.

Below are the results from this weekends HCS Online Cup. Apparently there were DDOS issues in the finals, but Denial could not play any further games. If I can get some more information on this, I’ll update this article.
