CEVO S7 casters, schedule, groups

CEVO have released a high quantity of information concerning the organisation's upcoming Season 7 finals at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio from July 24-26.

The CEVO Professional division seventh season finals will bring together eight teams to compete for a $75,000 prize purse, along with $42,000 provided in travel support.

Three teams per division (North American and European) qualified for the event, along with two invites which were handed out to EnVyUs and fnatic.

However, the latter Swedish team has decided to forego attending the event, citing a packed summer schedule. As a result, fourth place finishers in the European league, Na`Vi, have been invited to attend.

Na`Vi manage to snag a spot at the CEVO finals 

CEVO have now released a comprehensive guide to the finals on July 24-26. The format will feature two groups with four teams each, fighting in a GSL style tournament. In lieu of recent tumult over best-of-one group matches, CEVO have revised the format to have all matches play-out in best-of-three series.

Two teams will advance from each group to single-elimination best-of-three playoffs, with a best-of-five grand final. The groups are as follows:

Group A	Group B
EnVyUs	NiP
Virtus.pro	Cloud9
Luminosity	mousesports
Null element Na'Vi	Liquid
