Here are your S12 A1 Adria League champions!

This year’s exciting final of the 12th season of the A1 Adria League will be talked about for a long time. In the four-day gaming spectacle, the organizers of the A1 Adria League and the A1 Student eChallenge student competition managed to pamper us with more than 50 hours of gaming and esports content. The event ended by crowning the champions in CS2, Brawl Stars, EA FC 24, and EA FC 24 Mobile. 

Favorites triumphed

After the first day of the program which was reserved for the visitors themselves, who had the opportunity to play against regional influencers in titles such as Counter-Strike, League of Legends ARAM, Tekken, and EA FC 24 we saw the finish of the 12th A1 Adria League season.

The first game was EA FC 24 and once again it was Tarik “Novo” Novo who defeated his opponent and took his sixth title in the A1 Adria League. This veteran took home the prize of 1,250 euros after besting three players from the CLA organization. It was the first favorite to win the league, but certainly not the last at the Reboot InfoGamer event in Zagreb.

As far as Brawl Stars is concerned, once again the title went into familiar hands. Salada de Frutas can’t be defeated and forgotten that easily. They triumphed over their opponents once again, against the Balkan Elite this time. Salada is a familiar name on the regional scene, and recently they were presenting us at the Clash of Leagues as well.

The third game in a row was another football simulation, which was played on mobile phones. It is known that the EA FC 24 Mobile community in the region has been growing for years, and since the 12th season, the players finally got the chance to show themselves in the best light. With excellent commentators Stefan and Nikolas, mobile players fought for a prize fund of 1,350 euros, and the victory was won by SHAQ, who showed calmness and precision in key moments.

Already in the tradition of Reboot Infogamer powered by A1, the icing on the cake at the end of the 12th season of the league was Counter-Strike. For the first time, the final was played on a new version of the game (CS2), and The Suspect and Zero Tenacity teams once again showed why the popular CS is often called the “king of esports”. In a shocking ending, the victory was won by the Serbian team Z10 with a score of 3:2, and with that, they won the third title in a row and became one of the most successful teams in the history of the league.

A1 Student eChallenge: Fun and Growth in Gaming

A1 Hrvatska has created a completely new format of esports competition, the “A1 Student eChallenge” league, in collaboration with the leading technical faculties in Croatia: the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), Algebra University College, the Faculty of Science and Mathematics (PMF), and the Zagreb Technical College (TVZ). For the first time, A1 Hrvatska, in partnership with these faculties, offers students a special gaming experience, as well as the opportunity to participate in the organization and administration of this exciting esports tournament.

A1 Student eChallenge to feature CS:GO and FIFA

To support and highlight the importance of the gaming industry and personal development and education of young people, A1 Hrvatska has provided an unforgettable gaming experience for students and passionate video game enthusiasts of CS:GO and FIFA. However, this time, in addition to the role of a gamer, all interested parties can also take on organizational roles behind the gaming screens.

All participants in the A1 Student eChallenge can expect an unforgettable experience in the magical world of esports, which will culminate in the grand finals from 9th to 11th June at the Zagreb Fair, during the 11th season of the A1 Adria League as part of the Reboot Games Weekend powered by A1. There, the best among them will demonstrate their skills on a stage worthy of global gaming stars and compete for a share of the overall prize pool valued at over 1,500 euros.

“As announced, with the qualifications for the finals of the eleventh season of the A1 Adria League, we have entered a completely new and exciting chapter that has brought us an interesting format of the A1 Student eChallenge esports league. We are pleased that we have established collaborations with the leading technical faculties and provided young people with an opportunity to participate in the project to familiarize themselves with all the roles in front and behind the gaming screens. Once again, we have confirmed that we recognize the value of investing in those who show interest in the esports field. Also, we continue our long-standing partnership with Reboot, and we are glad to walk together through the incredible gaming adventures ahead of us,” said Iva Ančić, Head of Brand, Marketing Communications and Digital Business, A1 Hrvatska.

A1 Student eChallenge 1

As a telecom provider that offers a gaming experience with the lowest latency on an optical network, A1 Hrvatska announced the eleventh season of the longest-running regional A1 Adria League this spring, which brings together a large community of gamers with a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech.

During April and May, passionate esports players have the opportunity to show off their best gaming skills in three “main” video games – CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege, and FIFA-23, as well as in five tournaments already played in games such as PUBG, League of Legends, Fortnite, Trackmania, and Valorant. What awaits them in the finals will remain a secret until the very end, which will delight the best among them with the largest prize pool ever, amounting to 16,800 euros for the winners.
