The Season 8 finals for the CEVO Professional division kick off tomorrow in Columbus, Ohio and we have accordingly prepared a viewer's guide to help walk you through the event.
Eight teams have travelled to Columbus, Ohio in the United States to compete in the CEVO Season 8 finals for a $100,000 prize-pot (with an additional $50,000 having gone the way of travel support) at the MLG.tv arena this weekend.
The format for CEVO-P Season 8 is a GSL group stage with four teams in each group. All matches are best-of-three in the group stage.
The top two teams from each group then advance to a best-of-three single elimination bracket with the grand finals playing out as a best-of-five series.
Virtus.pro will be defending their title as CEVO Season 7 champions
Interestingly enough, mousesports will be replacing G2 at the event, who themselves replaced HellRaisers who qualified for the European spot but were then unable to attend.
The groups for the event are once again:
| Group A | Group B |
 Virtus.pro | Null element Na`Vi |
 Liquid |  Titan |
 dignitas |  Luminosity |
| Conquest |  mousesports |
