From the CEVO site:
The Professional Division (CEVO-P) is our most prestigious division and consists of only the top twelve teams in North America. Teams are selected for this division based on their performance in CEVO last season (top 4 from Pro and top 2 from Main) and their performance in other leagues.
We were originally going to use a Professional Placement Tournament to fill the division but we have decided to directly invite qualified teams. If I have not talked to your team already and you feel that you deserve to play in CEVO-P this season, read on...
Applications:
Teams that have not qualified or been invited yet, and are interested in competing in the Professional division can apply via email before Thursday, August 5th @ 11 PM CST. To apply, teams must be signed up in the Amateur division with at least 6 "@ready" members on their roster.
Please send the following to

to apply.
1. Team Name
2. Link to CEVO team page. (Can be found on the standings)
3. Team Experience / Accomplishments (CEVO, other leagues/tournaments, other games, etc..)
4. Why you feel that your team deserves to be invited into the tournament.
I thought we would have to go this route when I originally announced the Placement Tournament and I think it's better given the current structure of the upper tier.
