After a poor performance by most american teams, the rankings haven't changed much. Note that these should not be considered to be "power rankings", just team rankings (based on placings) for the entire year.

-Despite finishing last at MLG, SK is still on top thanks to the huge wins at regionals and blizzcon.

-Check Six is creeping up on SK's #1 spot with a solid 3rd place finish

-The rest of the teams don't change because none of them made bracket play.

-complexity's BHMS farm team makes the list with a respectable 4th place finish at their first event! congrats
