Hearthstone has updated the Pro Team Standings as of HCT Oakland (which I attended and scrubbed out of!), and it looks like we are seeing some leaders pull ahead of the pack. As you can see in the full post below, F2K is in first place with 196 points, Tempo Storm is close behind them with 190, and… the next closest team is Nordavind, with 169. With only HCT Tokyo and the August end-of-the-month Competitive Points left to be tallied, it seems like only one of those teams are in real contention for that top slot.
That said, the team standings are paying out through tenth place, so there are still a lot of hotly contested prizes. Places 5-10 are all currently within just 19 points of one another, and teams 11-20 are all still within a fighting chance of breaking into that top 10 (depending on which teams are fielding players at HCT Tokyo).
With just a few weeks left in Season 2, the 50 teams currently competing in the Hearthstone Championship Tour (HCT) Pro Team Standings are vying for the top of the leaderboard. On the heels of HCT Oakland, there are a few smaller races happening within the standings as well:

Tempo Storm continues to nip at the heels of Fade2Karma for the first-place finish. With only HCT Tokyo and the Competitive Points (CP) from the end of August left, will the narrow gap between the two hold?
The tie for fifth between compLexity Gaming and SK Gaming is another hotly contested berth, as Red Reserve need only five points to close the gap. Below them, Omnislash and Helsinki REDS are also neck-and-neck, but certainly not out of reach of Planet Odd.
Signups are open for new teams to compete in Season 3, as well:
Pro Team Standings are wrapping up soon for Season 2. For new teams, the deadline to sign up to compete in Season 3 is Aug. 1, and your three team members must have earned a combined 70+ CP in Season 2.
