Neutral Creeps - Dota 2 News From Around The World

North American DotA gamers, here's a tournament you might want to join.
CEVO has hosted season 1 of Icefrog's DotA All-Stars with a 500 dollar prize pool.

Registration is now open.
Season 1 features $500 in guaranteed cash prizes for teams competing across the various skill divisions.

There are two divisions - the Professional Division and the CEVO - FREE division.

The regular event membership fee for the Professional Division is $5 USD per player. Players may register for Season 1 without already being on a team.

Paid teams will be eligible for a FREE NationVoice ventrilo server!

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. Captains who have already created a team for another CEVO DotA event do not need to create a new team - you can simply join this event with your current team. 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.

When you join a roster for a paid event, if you have not already paid your event membership fee, you will be prompted for payment. CEVO accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, e-Check, or PayPal payments. All online payments are processed through PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit card through PayPal. If you would like to pay with a money order, please contact CEVO support for instructions.

To pay for a teammate’s account, please do so by logging into their personal account, or contact support for help.

Paying in Advance:

Players wishing to pay their event membership fee prior to joining a roster may do so at any time. Simply log into your personal user account and choose "join event" from the menu, or click "Register for an Event" on the main account page. From there you may choose the desired game and event from the options listed. Once your payment has been processed, you may join a roster any time prior to the start of the season as well as during roster unlock periods once the season has started.


Event Details:

The event will consist of two skill divisions, FREE (CEVO-FREE), and Professional (CEVO-P).

The FREE Division (CEVO-FREE) is open to any team and FREE to all participants. It is divided into two conferences: Atlantic, and Pacific. Teams will be participating for free entry into paid CEVO events. There will be one match per week in this division and the Match Deadline Day is Thursday of each week.

The FREE division is specially designed for new and competitive teams that are looking to get their feet wet in competitive play.

NOTE: Teams in this division are not eligible for free NationVoice ventrilo.

The Professional Division (CEVO-P) will consist of the most talented teams in North America. Any team interested in competing in the Professional Division will be accepted. The Professional Division has only one National Region. Teams will be competing for $500.00 in guaranteed cash!
