CEVO has just announced their free Left 4 Dead tournament which will start Monday May 18th. The Survival Tourney will be a 128 team, double elimination tournament with matches twice a week on Monday and Thursday.

Every competitive L4D player will be looking forward to this since CAL died. Since CAL stopped after Week 1 there has only been the Infected Cup, TWL, and GameBattles, so CEVO picking up L4D should give the game a boost, along with the upcoming update with Death Toll and Dead Air.
