Counter-Strike: CEVO Pro Season 5 Placement Tournament

By: Philip - Published January 02, 2007 at 10:10 PM EST - Writer Archive
Sixteen teams battle for the remaining ten spots for CEVO Pro Season 5.
2007 has officially arrived and the CyberEvolution Online league gears up for their fifth season Wednesday as they hold their seasonal Professional division placement tournament. Sixteen teams have been seeded into the Placement tournament in a bid to qualify for the upcoming season. Six teams from this event will join the top four finishers from Season 4 bringing the total to ten once again. CEVO Official's stated that the tournament will be double elimination best of one map as opposed to best of three as stated in the original Press Release.

The biggest surprise team in this tournament is compLexity, a team that dominated CEVO Pro and CAL Invite before taking a break to focus on LAN events. The team was expected not only to automatically qualify for season five, but to win season four as well. However, losses to Pandemic and JMC in their first two playoff games marked the end of a disappointing season for the former number one team in the World (coverage of season 4 playoffs can be viewed here).

Other teams competing in this tournament include all of the remaining CEVO Pro competitors from season four. Joining them will be ten teams from CEVO Semi Pro, the top eight finishers as well as eMazing Gaming and x3o. The sixteenth team is Check Six, a wild card team that was relatively recently formed built around several former rdw players. This tournament consists of many of the top North American teams and will guarantee some fierce competition as they all try to qualify for CEVO Pro's fifth campaign.
