To do these moveups in the most fair and accurate manner possible, we are asking for your help. If you know of any teams currently "ready" in CEVO that you think are candidates for automatic moveup or are candidates for the poll, please post them here with a brief explanation as to why. This information will help us make accurate calls in the moveup process. In the interest of transparency, our decision making process will be public. You can view our organizational spreadsheet here: Click to view the spreadsheet[docs.google.com].

Any team that wants to be considered for automatic move up to Main or for the community poll must be set to "ready" by 11:59pm CST tonight. Being "ready" requires 6 paid players + their STEAM IDs. The poll for moving teams from open to main will be released early tomorrow (Thurs 2/20) via private message to CEVO leaders. Please check your CEVO account messages to access this poll. Only captains of teams set to "ready" will be eligible to vote.
