HCS Open Circuit Legendary Cup #7 Recap

Welcome to desperation day.

With Most Wanted and 3sUp sitting pretty, it was a battle for the rest of the standings as amateur teams jockey for position in the shadow of HCS Las Vegas.

There were a few quality upsets, namely Dillon “Randa” Randa’s side taking down Most Wanted, and GameTyrant proved that last week wasn’t just a fluke while some players were in St. Louis.

They did not go all the way though, as Contagious showed its dominance in the grand finals by stomping the tyrants 4-0.
