Only 3 weekends left; CS2 is only getting started

We’re entering the final phase of this season’s A1 Adria League Weekly tournaments and the A1 Student eChallenge. With just three weekends to go, the attention now shifts to Counter-Strike 2, as the region’s best teams dive into the first round of qualifiers in one of the most popular games in the region.

This weekend will feature three rounds of CS2 qualifiers, with the top three teams earning a spot in the playoffs. There, they’ll meet three invited squads to decide who takes the CS2 Weekly title in a series of BO3 and BO5 matches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

After this, only a handful of matchdays remain. The Weekly series wraps up in early June before we take a short summer break and begin the road to the A1 Adria League LAN finals in November. With only CS2 and EA FC Mobile left in the rotation, we’re closing the season with two very different games. One is all about tactics and teamwork, the other all about precision and individual flair. It’s a great reflection of what the A1 Adria League is all about: giving as many chances possible for everyone interested in competing.

CS2 (and CS:GO before it) was always the go-to esports game for both the A1 Adria League and thousands of fans in the region, and is one of the games that started it all more than 10 seasons ago. Hosting another CS round of qualifiers and playoffs feels both right and emotional, because it is one of those games that really makes you appreciate esports to its fullest, so make sure not to miss the qualifiers over the weekend!

But the action isn’t done just yet, and neither is your chance to compete. Signups are still open for this weekend’s CS2 qualifiers, and also for next week’s EA FC Mobile event. Due to overwhelming demand, we’re featuring EA FC Mobile twice this season. Honestly, the interest has surprised even us. In the first round, we saw great matches from the likes of Gale and Somzi, with the former taking home the title of A1 Adria League Weekly champion and half of the €800 prize pool.

The second round of qualifiers will definitely attract more of the region’s best players, and if you are one of them, apply right away!
