Starcraft 2 Season 1 Presented by Zowie - Registration Opens - $1,300 Prize Pool!



CEVO is pleased to announce the opening of registration for the first season of Starcraft 2 presented by Zowie. Season 1 features $1,300 in guaranteed prizes for teams competing across the various skill divisions.

Registration for Starcraft 2 - Season 1 will open on Thursday, October 28th at midnight and remain open until Sunday, November 28th at midnight.

League Format:

This will be a pro league event. It will consist of teams of 4 players. Each player will compete in a 1v1 match against a member of the opposing team. After all four players complete their match, if the record stands as 2-2, each captain will pick one player of their choice from their team to compete in a final 1v1 for the win. You may have more than four players on each team as backups, however, only one of the original four competitors may play the tie breaking match.

The captain of the away team must post the list of players that will be competing, and in which order they will be playing in match communication. This must be done before match play begins.

How To Register:

All players will need to register a personal CEVO user account to participate in CEVO events. If you do not already have one, click "register now" under the CEVO Members section of the website and follow the instructions.

Team Captains:

The Team Captain or Manager is responsible for registering their team for the event. To sign your current team up for this event, login to your personal user account then go to "teams"->"view my teams" (or click "Manage My Teams" on the main account page). Click on the "manage" link corresponding to your team and then click "Sign Team Up for a CEVO Event".

If you are a Team Captain needing to create a team, login to your personal user account then go to "teams"->"create a team" (or click "Create a Team" on the main account page).

Once the team is created/registered for the event, each team member may join the roster by logging into their personal user account on the website and clicking “Join A Roster”.

Team Players:

In order to join a roster, your team captain must have already registered your team for this event. Once that is done, to join the roster, login to your personal user account and click "teams"->"Join a Roster" (or simply click "Join a Roster" on the main account page).

On the Join Roster page, choose this event from the drop-down menu, then type all or part of the team name and click "Find Team". When the search finishes, click the "join" button corresponding to your team.


Event Details:

The event will consist of three skill divisions, Open (CEVO-O), Main (CEVO-M), and Professional (CEVO-P).

The Open Division (CEVO-O) is open to all teams. It is conferences: Atlantic, Central, and Pacific.

There will be two matches per week with Match Deadline Days on Mondays and Thursdays.

CEVO-O is designed specifically for new and experienced teams seeking serious competitive play.

The Main Division (CEVO-M) is application only for teams that have not earned a spot from the previous CEVO season or other CEVO events. It is comprised of one National conference. CEVO-M showcases highly talented teams competing for $650 in guaranteed prizes. There will be two matches per week with Match Deadline Days on Mondays and Thursdays.

The Main Division is reserved for only very highly-skilled and experienced teams seeking serious, near-professional competition.

• 1st Place: 5x Zowie Hammer USB Headset ($395 value)
• 2nd Place: 5x Zowie SpawN Mousepad P-TF ($145 value)
• 3rd Place: 5x Zowie SpawN Mousepad P-TF ($145 value)

The Professional Division (CEVO-P) will consist of the most talented teams in North America, as determined by Blizzards placement skill levels or earned incumbency from the previous season of CEVO-P. The Professional Division has only one National Region. Teams will be competing for a whopping $650 in guaranteed prizes! Professional teams will play two matches per week on Monday and Thursday nights.

• 1st Place: 5x Zowie Hammer USB Headset ($395 value)
• 2nd Place: 5x Zowie SpawN Mousepad P-TF ($145 value)
• 3rd Place: 5x Zowie SpawN Mousepad P-TF ($145 value)

Main and Pro Division Applications
If you are not initially invited to the Main or Professional divisions, do no dispair because we still have room for more teams, they will just be decided via applications. In order to submit an application, you must sign your team up in the Open division and get four (4) rostered members at least.

NOTE: A news post will be released soon explaining the application process in detail for both divisions.

What a lot of counter strike players did when they were teamless is look for a team on CEVO's forum. Perspective teams could recruit their players that way. You are welcome to do that. I am sure that this forum should have some sort of team seeking forum. Maybe you could create one as long as it fits into TL's rules and guidelines.

Good luck in the event.

Pretty awkward prizes to be honest. Old/near dead games have $3000 prize purse for the open div and a new exciting massively played game gets $650 for the top?

I understand your rationale, I really do. You want to test the waters. Got it. Problem: You need a better investment to garner the support you are looking for. HAS to be a sponsor somewhere who'd help you out. Entrance fees even

Regardless I loved CEVO when I played 1.6 and Source, so game on!

Blizzard does not allow anyone to charge entry fees. If we were able to, there would be the current prizes plus over $3,000 in cash.

The problem is that many sponsors are not spending money right now. They are seeing what the economy is going to do and the outcome of the election before a large amount of money is spent. On top of that, Blizzard not letting anyone charge for events hinder our ability to offer large prize pots.

When Blizzard releases their kung foo grip on the game, it will be significantly more rewarding to compete.

Yeah, but it's not a joke when a shitload of tournament organizers are using your game and not paying up money they promised (google CPL).

Blizzard is going with a closed and slow approach, it's working fine for now.

What a misuse of the CPL example. I shouldn't even have to explain how out of place that was.

CPL was CEVO's main competitor and had nothing to do with Blizzard not allowing people to use entrance fees. CPL not paying prizes didn't effect the prizes of other events either, nor did it even raise speculation of Valve refusing to allow tournaments to charge entrance fees. Blizzard could allow CEVO to charge entrance fees (usually $15-25 per player) and regardless of whether or not they actually paid out, this would not reflect Blizzard's handling of the issue (hint: it'd cripple the organization as it did CPL).

I'm lost as to what your point was.

Other than that, this is just a way that Blizzard can make money off of the game @ Blizzcon and MLG. MLG will pay for the exclusivity of the game, which will essentially kill any amateur leagues' prizes. Then again DTV's CGS did this and CEVO was still allowed to charge entry fees and pay out at the amateur level. Blizzard is just gonna rinse MLG for as much as they can.

I don't wanna bash cevo, but as someone who has played in cevo for over 2 years (1.6) a lot of their players switch from cevo to esea just because they are very loosely organized, their client is very buggy and many people complained about how badly they would lag on it, and their support is very mediocre. I once had a problem with their client and the admin in their vent server just told me to reformat and after looking at the logs said he had no idea what was wrong. So many matches my team had to play 4v5 without me. I am not affiliated with either company esea/cevo but I'm just saying that the cevo 1.6 divisions are dying out because how badly its run, and the cz divisions are breaking down into smaller divisions every year before making everyone play central and everyone lagging.

Hopefully they got their shit together for sc2 tho.

I am not going to contribute to this post turning into a flame war, but 1.6 and cz is dying everywhere. The lack of competition has nothing to do with how our organization is run, but that the game itself is losing competitive players. Even ESEA has less of a turnout each season.

If anyone has an issue with the client, they need to contact me and I will get it fixed for them.

Oooh this looks fun, a lot of CSL teams should participate in this. Cevo is well organized, and the online match making system is quite effective(as opposed to doing it the old fashioned add and hope they respond way).

This could get pretty big if all the big name teams participate and the prizes improve. When they say $650 in guaranteed prizes, hardware isn't exactly what people want.

Why is M and P getting the same prizes if one is supposedly better than the others? Good luck with this!
