CEVO-P S8 Placement concludes

CEVO's eighth season promises $150,000 for its Professional division which will conclude with offline finals at the MLG.tv arena in Columbus, Ohio from November 6-8.

Two teams from each region are given a chance to join the Professional division via a Placement tournament, which ran from late July to August 13.

In North America, it was Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele' eLevate team that was the first to qualify, followed by Method in the consolidation final (the latter team having also recently qualified for PGL Season 1).

In Europe, Kinguin qualified for CEVO-P Season 8 in the upper final by defeating E-frag.net 2-1; undaunted, the Bulgarian team rallied today in the consolidation final against Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov's FlipSid3 and became the second European team to qualify for the Professional league.

With the regular season expected to begin next week (although the Professional division's play will be cast into doubt with the upcoming major), more information remains to follow concerning a complete team list and season details.

*Update: Although eLevate qualified for the spot at the time of publishing, the subsequent release of the eLevate roster by the organisation has left the second North American qualification slot unverified.
