A lot of really good teams aren't gonna be able to play in CEVO-P next season. CEVO may need to make a semi-pro division for CS:S a season or two from now.

i think this is going to be intense...some top calibre teams arent going to qualify for P even though they deserve it. Sucks for the guys in the division they get dropped into.

#46 EFG have gone downhill since all their roster changes and all that crap no suprise noone is backing them sure they are ones to watch because as soon as they start picking up their game again they should be good games all around.

Group A = NoPression and United5
Group B = Forbidden and JMC (but either one replaced by Team3D will be good also)
Group C = Devastation and EG

Thats my two cents
