Just going to quote a post made by Bezerk (some parts have been edited as request by the man himself, he should be on tomorrow)

hey all, There are a few issues here regarding sharing early information before its ready, but I think its best to be transparent. Thats the reason this image is available in the first place. As >local representative for Hi-Rez, I have been working with teams, LAN organisers, Cybergamer admins, and Hi-Rez themselves. This hasn't been shared yet widely because its not ready yet. SubfloorDrugs should not have posted it, as its not final. It's an early working plan being consulted on. Obviously, there is some detail missing, resulting in questions. I can say that information will be shared with the community when it is ready, and we are planning to give the >SMITE OCE community the best opportunity to grow and develop. It should also be clear conspiracy theories about the plan re Cybergamer ladder and this plan are not true, as this plan is still in development. Please give the hardworking members of the admin and community participating some respect for what they do. That includes many opportunities to play, practice, and have the strongest teams find their way to the Pro League. There will be many opportunities to practice and show your skills >alongside the core pathway as well. If anyone is concerned their team/team managers do not have a way to contact or give feedback, they should talk to them before posting speculatively about how this will work. >Every team and LAN has been reached out to, so your team manager should know how to contact me and ask questions. So I'd please ask for some more patience as plans are developed, discussed, approved, and then announced. Everyone wants to put in solid building blocks for the SMITE >community in Oceania to succeed. I'm certainly working hard for that goal and hope you guys will be excited to get involved. There will definitely be regular updates and announcements, so you'll all be in the loop, when there's a loop to be in. Hang tight, and respectfully, for now, please be patient. Thanks all Daniel Chlebowczyk SMITE Account Manager AU.
