1. Team IZOD: The #1 team in the region held on to their spot after running through the Clash For The Cup. They seem primed to make another deep run for a national title.
2. Playaz: The Playaz proved to have the grit to grind out wins and while making it to the finals of the Clash For The Cup. They have enough weapons to overtake IZOD and win the Grand Finale title.
3. Team Takeover: TT made a final four run during the Clash For The Cup. They had enough pieces to get things done but fell a little short. They are one of the favorites for the DMV Takeover.
4. Rens: The Rens jump up a spot after making it to the final four of the Clash For The Cup. They are a very sneaky team that you must keep your eye on.
5. Team Scan: TS had a decent showing the Clash especially with an upset victory over #2 Playaz. They haven’t turned the corner yet of becoming a dominate team in the region.
6. Team Final: TF fell down a few slots after not having a good showing at the Clash. I’m waiting to see how they respond at the DMV Takeover.
7. Maryland Scholars: The Scholars were absent from the Clash but will definitely be present at the DMV Takeover. It should be very interesting to see them tangle.
8. Team Twelve: The Brooklyn team moved up two slots after making it to the quarterfinals of the Clash. They also will be making the trip to Maryland for the DMV Takeover.
9. SHA Elite: Mergin Sina’s bunch was not at the Clash but we do expect to see them at the AC Showcase and the MDC.
10. Gym Rats (Syracuse): These boys play the Clash impressed us enough to throw them into the Top 10. Now at the DMV they must prove they belong.
