Counter-Strike: CEVO announces Placement Tournament

By: Brent Meeder - Published June 16, 2008 at 4:03 AM EDT - Writer Archive
CyberEvolution returns for another installment of the Professional Placement Tournament beginning on June 26nd.
CyberEvolution is back again with their most popular event, the Placement Tournament. The event consists of 16 teams in a double elimination format. Among these 16 teams, there are 2 teams from CEVO-P Season 8, the top 7 teams from CEVO-M Season 8, the top 2 teams from the CEVO OCZ tournament, and 5 wildcards. Out of these 16 teams, the top 4 teams will advance to the CEVO-P Division. The 12 teams that do not qualify for the Professional Division will receive automatic invitations to the Main Division (CEVO-M).

The Professional Placement Tournament is utilized so as to remove subjective opinions and any influence of people from the selection process. Teams for CEVO-P qualify exclusively based on their proven performance against other top caliber teams.

Reschedules and postponements are NOT allowed, exceptions will only be made for very extreme circumstances. In regard to this, ALL TEAMS are recommended to have at least 7 members on their roster in the event you cannot field your regular 5.
