Moveups, Placement Tournament, and Applications:

Teams who made the s2 Open Playoffs have been automatically move up to the s3 Main division.

Teams who have qualified for a moveup from their performance in the s3 Placement Tournament will be automatically moved to the Main division as soon as the tournament concludes in early October.

We will be filling a very small number of holes in the s3 Main skill division through an application process. Teams wishing to apply for a moveup to this division will have the opportunity to submit an application form in the coming weeks. Applications will be judged by CEVO officials and ranked using a team's past experience and skill. Spots in this division are extremely limited. As we continue into future seasons, we will be accepting fewer applications and teams will be automatically moved up to higher skill divisions based on performance in the regular season, playoffs, and placement tournaments.

fmbpDOTA Coverage:

fmbpDOTA will be covering Season 3 matches from both skill divisions. If your match has been selected, please work with the fmbpDOTA staff to coordinate the scheduling of your matches. If you have any questions about this, please contact CEVO Support.
