The 3rd Place has been earned by the German Team Munich Synergy, the winner of 2017 edition. The assignation of the 2nd and 1st place has been breathless because the Italian and German Team have performed two high-level programs and the two scores were so close. 

In the end, the victory went to the Italian Team that with an elegant performance. Despite two falls, the team confirmed the results of a powerful season.

As the season ends now for those teams, we hope that this competition will be better spread in the future and will become a World Cup of this category for real.
