Take a look at the wildly exciting third weekly A1AL recap!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

The group stage of CS2 began with the first two matches, Brawl Stars had their first qualifier with a well-known winner, and EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile have only one more qualifier cup left. Many interesting things happened, some positive some negative. Read on to learn more and find out the results in the A1AL recap.

Prometey and GIZONE secured first wins in the A1AL group stage

The group stage has started, and the DE bracket is being played. The first BO3 matches played were between Kubix vs PROMETEY and Bagra vs GIZONE. Let’s take a look at the first match. 

PROMETEY decided on Ancient as their map pick. However, that didn’t turn out quite as planned for them. Only the pistol round was successful in the first half. Kubix ended this half with a big 10-2 advantage. Amar finds three kills in the second half and secures a victory for his team (13-2).

On Anubis, PROMETEY and Kubix switched places. This time PROMETEY was 10-2 after the first half. At 12-2, Kubix wakes up and imposes their play style. Amar opens the B site almost every round. At 12-7, Rile saves AWP, and in the next round, that AWP is of great importance. At 12:8, Wazz pushes B main and finds a frag, while Rile helps him find another one. At this point everything falls apart for Kubix and PROMETEY takes the map with 13-8.

A very close first half was seen on the decider map which was Mirage. A little struggle for Kubix and a great play from PROMETEY in multiple rounds lead us to the 7-5 score at the half. In the second half, Kubix on the T side plays strongly and takes an 8-7 lead. PROMETEY manages to take the round and equalize the result at 8-8 and with an excellent game returns to the lead of 10-8. But that lead did not last long. On the wings of Lewis, Kubix returns to 10-10. But again a reversal, the powerful Prometey arrives at 12-10 where Gejmzilla has a planted bomb and remains in a 2v1 situation where he knifes the defuser and finds another kill. That brings us to 12-11. After that, two rounds were taken by the MIGHTY PROMETEUS sending Kubix to the lower bracket of A1AL.

GIZONE is victorious after two games only

On Inferno, GIZONE is completely dominating the first half on their CT side. They rarely let Bagra even plant the bomb, and when they did, it was an easy defuse for their opponents. Even though the first half ended with 9-3, Bagra wasn’t going to fall that easily. After 11-4, they begin to wake up. They managed to reach 12-9 and the possibility of a comeback shone before their eyes. Unfortunately, GIZONE opens the next round with two frags and finishes what they started taking the first map with a 13-9 score.

Crazy first half on Mirage. GIZONE takes the first three rounds, but Bagra with astonishing gameplay after that takes seven in a row. After 7-5 half, GIZONE takes the lead at 11-9 after a few very close rounds. However, Bagra doesn’t surrender and they then take the lead (12-11). After missing the match point, the game goes into overtime. Both teams did great on the CT side of overtime. But in the end, GIZONE pushes short and wins with a 16-14 score.

CS2 group stage A1AL

Brstimir wins the third EAFC24 qualifier

The fact that some of the favorites secured a place in the top 16 of A1AL after two qualifiers opened up space for new players to get points. Milos “Brstimir” Majdevac missed the second qualification, but in the third, he came for the full spoils and thus definitely secured his place in the group stage. In the finals, his opponent was his old rival Harun “Hara” Parla, who after a difficult victory in the first game, he routinely defeated in the second with a score of 7-1.

Jovan “CZBackoSRB” Balać gave us the biggest surprise, by winning 3rd place and is now on the threshold of the group stage. Along with Brstimir, Misko, and Cere, CZBacko has brightened the face of Serbia in the A1 Adria League, which until now was mainly led only by Brstimir.

Skrebo98 secures maximum points in the third A1AL EAFC24 Mobile qualifier

Another great competition in the third EAFC24 Mobile qualifier in the A1AL as 240 players signed up.

The third qualification brought the new-old champion of the Balkans, Shaq, almost to full glory. He won in the quarterfinals against the best overall scorer, Bojce. However, he was very close to coming out first from these qualifications. This time that honor belongs to the Buducnost eSports player Skrebo98 from Bosnia.

Their duel, after a draw in the first match, and the triumph of one after the other, was decided by a golden goal, in the 55th minute of the 4th match. An unfortunate deflected ball after a free kick ended up in the upper left corner of Shaq’s goal.

In the overall standing, Bojce still leads with 290 points, followed by Savazver, Skrebo98, and Shaq respectively.

EAFC24 Mobile third qualifier A1AL

Is Salada de Frutas back for more titles?

This week we began the Brawl Stars qualifiers. BS has been a standard game in the A1AL for many seasons. In the 13th season, we will host four qualifiers. The first is already over, and it ended with Salada de Frutas demolishing their opponents and winning maximum points. They showed extraordinary performance and didn’t lose a single game until the finals. There they faced team FBI, and in the BO5 duel won with a 3-1 score. Our three-time champions changed their roster with only DzonDzon remaining at the moment.

However, not all news is good. We have had some problems in the first BS qualifier. The problems with the FaceIT platform led to many misunderstandings and unfortunately, teams were injured for their points.

“I would like to apologize to everyone immediately because of yesterday’s events. The way the qualifiers were held yesterday did not live up to the A1 Adria League standard, as we always try to give our players the best possible playing experience with a healthy dose of competition. Unfortunately, that was not possible yesterday due to things beyond our control.

We will no longer rely on Facit’s automatic matchmaking system, as it has proven to be extremely unreliable and inaccurate. From the next qualifier, all matches will be monitored and recorded manually, and all communication between players will be conducted via Faceit rooms, and results will be reported to the channel ⁠💯✦results✦ on Discord.” – Inder, Brawl Stars administrator

Brawl Stars first qualifier standings A1AL

FOI is the winner of the A1 Student eChallenge in CS2!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Last week we had the opportunity to host the CS2 tournament as a part of the A1 Student eChallenge. Six universities and 36 students competed for the right to call themselves champions but only one was victorious. It was FOI that bested their opponents and won the tournament. Overall 260 rounds were played and 11 maps, out of which Dust2 and Mirage were the most played, while we haven’t seen Nuke once this tournament. Continue reading to find out all the details.

FOI in the TOP 4 in every game in the A1 Student eChallenge

As you remember, besides CS2, we hosted two other games as a part of this tournament, Rocket League and EAFC24. FOI was the most successful university in the whole eChallenge, ranking in the TOP 4 in all three games. They were fourth in Rocket League, third and second in EAFC24, and now first in CS2. FOI had to defeat FERIT to win it all. But let’s see how each team got to the finals and who their opponents were in the semis.

The first finalist was FOI. In the semi-finals, they defeated UNIPU from Pula with a 2-0 score, which came from the quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over FER. Against UNIPU, FOI had an easy first map on Mirage (13:7), but they struggled on the second map Dust2 and defeated UNIPU only in the third overtime with a score of 22:19. The game was a real nailbiter and UNIPU put up a good fight. However in the end FOI prevailed.

The second finalist FERIT from Osijek didn’t have a tough opponent in the semis or they made it look like that. Against TVZ they won 2-0. Even though the second map Mirage was a little close, ending with 16-14, the first was Ancient where Ferit demolished their opponents with a swift 13:1 win.

A1 Student eChallenge FOI

In the grand finals, all three maps were played. Ancient was a FOI pick where they had a good start and a score of 10-4. After that FERIT made a comeback. Shumy’s 1v3 clutch took the game to overtime where in the end FERIT won 16-14. On FERIT’s pick Anubis, FOI dominated with Prozzor as the best player (13-8). The decider was Dust2 where it was close until the end. However, as we know FOI was a better team ending the final map with a 13-10 score and taking the title.

Ranking:

  • 1st place – FOI
  • 2nd place – FERIT
  • 3rd place – TVZ
  • 4th place – UNIPU
  • 5th place – FER
  • 6th place – Algebra

CS2 ready for groups in A1AL; Bojce and Mupinho on top of the second EAFC qualifiers

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

The second A1 Adria League qualifiers of the 13th season are behind us. While CS2 teams have already secured all the spots in the groups and are now ready to start the climb, EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile players still have a long way to go. As far as football is concerned, we are at halftime, two qualifiers are finished while two more are on schedule. Check out what happened in the second A1AL qualifiers this weekend!

CS2: Group stage is formed

Last week we saw very interesting matches and four teams advancing to the group stage. The groups were secured by KubiX, Spotify, Bagra and The Wild ones. The second CS2 qualifiers in this A1AL season brought us the remaining four teams. The winners are:

  • Cupava Veverica
  • SuperiorEsports
  • GornjiDonji
  • PROMETEY

PROMETEY was one of the teams who made it through and their road wasn’t an easy one. They eliminated two familiar names in the region. Both Jake Bube and KlanRUR failed to qualify for this season, while the former was really close as we saw overtime. An interesting duel was seen between Cupava Veverica and Ravens where we also went into overtime. However, in the end, Cupava Veverica who we also saw in the first qualifier, deservedly advanced to groups. One of the dominating teams was SuperiorEsports who didn’t lose a single map.

Mupinho broke the A1AL record

81 players participated in the second EAFC24 qualifiers in the A1 Adria League. The absence of some of the better-known names may have given space to new players to collect a significant number of points. Mustafa “Mupinho” Sejmenovic made the most of it!

We knew he had a talent for FIFA, but this is the first time he convinced us all, breaking the record in the final itself. He defeated the champion of the 11th season, Marko “Gruby” Grubisic, with a score of 9-2 in the deciding game, thus securing 100 points and a practically safe place in the group stage. In the total score, the first place belongs to the winner of the first qualification, Nemanja “Misko” Misic, while Mupinho is second with 100 points. Novo remains third, and in the 4th position was the now regular Tin ” CLA Th3Prod1gy ” Škrgatić.

There is still time for turnarounds so don’t waste any time and sign up! The third EAFC24 qualifiers are scheduled for June 22.

Again more than 200 EAFC24 Mobile players signed up

Of 232 registered players, 220 played in the second qualifier of EAFC24 Mobile in the A1AL. It was the first time we saw former caster Nikolas in esports action. He managed to make it all the way to the finals. Unfortunately for him, the better player was Bojce, who in the semi-finals overcame the tournament’s surprise, Somzi.

Somzi was in the top 20 of the world four years ago and is a member of Spartak eSport from Subotica. He finished the competition as 4th because he lost to the young Bosnian player Ogi in the Bo3 match for third place. However, you should remember this name as he was the only one who succeeded, in the appearance of the FC Mobile community in the A1AL so far, to make up for the 3-goal deficit. From 4:1 he returned the semi-final match against Bojce to 4:4.

A total of 40 goals were seen in this interesting stream of the top 8 in the second qualifiers of the A1AL. Among the new faces in the top 16, we saw a guy named prosječnibosanac. Surely this success will motivate him to fight even more in the remaining two qualifying stages. Another name worth mentioning is Bojan, whose appearance in the A1 Adria League was the first, where he immediately took part in the top 8.

If you still haven’t, sign up for the third qualifier, scheduled on June 22.

Here are your EAFC24 and Rocket League champions in A1 Student eChallenge!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Two of three competitions that are part of our A1 Student eChallenge are over. Rocket League and EAFC24 got their champions already, while only the CS2 competition remains. While most of the tournament was played off-stream, our followers could enjoy a very tense final in Rocket League and EAFC24. Let’s take a look at how it went.

FER and MATHOS at the top

Let’s begin with Rocket League, where we had seven different Universities compete for the top prize. From the signed up schools we had FER, FERIT, FOI, UNIPU, FESB, Algebra, and PMFST which amounted to 24 players. The competition was fierce and the top 4 Universities were FER, Algebra, FOI, and FERIT.

In the grand final of A1 Student eChallenge, we saw a dominating victory from the side of FER who managed to win this BO7 series with a 4:1 score against Algebra.  The roster made of Dred, Zuki, Turba, and Dunge, showed their skill and deservedly won the title. However, in our fight for the third place, things were a lot more closer. After a long struggle and seven games, FERIT came out victorious against FOI with a 4:3 score.

  • 1st place: FER 
  • 2nd place: Algebra
  • 3rd place: FERIT
  • 4th place: FOI
  • 5th-7th place FESB, UNIPU, and PMFST

Moving on to EAFC24 where we also had seven Universities compete. In this competition, the signed-up Universities were FOI and FERIT with two representative players, UNIPU, TVZ, MATHOS, ASPIRA, and Algebra with one each. It took eight games for us to get our best four players in this competition. FOI did very well, and their players ranked 2nd and 3rd. Bati took the second place, while t0m3 one below. On stream, in the grand finale, Bati lost to MATHOS rep klaic710 with a 2:3 score. However, in the fight for third place t0m3 was more successful and won 3:0 against Remo.

1st place: MATHOS | klaic710

2nd place: FOI | Bati

3rd place: FOI | t0m3

4th place: TVZ | Remo

5th-8th place FERIT, UNIPU, FERIT, and ASPIRA

9th place: Algebra

Now only the CS2 competition is left and you can follow the finale on the 21st of June which is Friday. Don’t forget to follow our stream on YouTube, Twitch and Kick.

 

One of the most successful A1AL qualifiers in the history of the League is behind us!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

You have waited long enough. The new season of A1 Adria League is here. This weekend we have witnessed so many interesting games in the first qualifiers in CS2, EAFC24, and EAFC24 Mobile. These qualifiers, of the 13th season of A1AL, turn out to be the one of the most successful ones yet! And we’ve only just started! Imagine what the league is going to be like. Stay with us until the end!

Four CS2 teams secured the groups

Unlike last seasons where we had three of four qualifiers in CS2, this year there are only two opportunities to secure the group stage and your place among the best. With the first qualifier over, four teams advanced to the next stage and are awaiting their opponents. The winners of the first CS2 qualifiers, out of 42 signed-up teams, are:

  • KubiX
  • Spotify
  • Bagra
  • The Wild ones

As always, we have followed the most interesting matches on stream. We followed Clan RUR, which took its first match to overtime against the main lineup team. They managed to beat them at 16:14, but then they come to Anubis against the playful team Spotify, which won 13:3. After that, we followed the BO3 between Kosovar Kubix and the Cupava Veverica team. The latter picks Anubis and loses 13:9, but after that, they go to Dust 2 (Kibix’s pick) and win 13-11 in a tense map. At Vertigo, a slightly better performance by Kubix, where Cupava Veverica misses a lot of opportunities and again loses, this time with a 13-8.

EAFC24 games amounted to almost 400 players combined

Besides CS2, we’ve had our first A1AL qualifier cups in EAFC24 and its mobile counterpart. While in EAFC24 we had a full bracket of players, all 128, 210 people signed up for the mobile version. The competition has never been this fierce and this is only a preview of what the league will look like this season.

EAFC24 in A1AL wouldn’t be what it is without our veterans such as Novo, our six-time champion, Brstimir, Hara, Jasik, and many others. Some of the familiar names managed to score the first points while the other will have to wait for the next qualifier. Two rivals, Brstimir and Novo got to the semis, where one was defeated, while the other one moved on to the finals. Brstimir lost to Misko who then went on to win the whole thing. While on the other side Novo bested Jocko in the other semi.

Things were also explosive in the EAFC24 mobile qualifier. Out of 210 players, one managed to win the most points and put himself in the best position. Savazver showed his quality and secured 180 points. Fcsveta was the next most successful player of the qualifier with 100 points, while Bojce secured third place and earned 80.

In the mobile version of EAFC24, we also saw some familiar names such as our last season’s champion SHAQ. He, unfortunately, didn’t manage to go far up the ladder in the first qualifier, but he did earn 30 points and put himself on the table. Three more qualifiers are left in both EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile after which 16 players from each game will advance to the groups. We are waiting for you. Sign up NOW!

Seven exciting years of A1 Adria League in the making!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Believe it or not, we have been through six years (2024 being the seventh one) and 12 exciting seasons of the A1 Adria League while two new ones are awaiting this year. We have come very far since the inception of the league and our first tournament. After many different games and a lot of format changes, we have arrived at today. Take a look at what made the A1 Adria League great, enjoy a trip down memory lane, and reminisce together with us.

From 2017 to today

Everything began with three games and at that time unknown teams. Today we are proud to have hosted some of the best European names in League of Legends, CS:GO, now CS2, and FIFA. Valiance&CO won the league in the first season with Nexa and Hunter who are now playing best European CS2 tournaments with G2 Esports. And that’s not all. That same season we also saw Sacre compete who would later go on to play in EU LCS.

Similar to the initial season, the second one was remarkable as well. That is when we changed the name of the league from VIP Adria League to A1 Adria League, added two new games, Clash Royale and Hearthstone, went mobile, and introduced a new tournament format.

The year 2018 and seasons 3 and 4 introduced Dota in the A1 Adria League and we have seen a tremendous rise in the prize pool between these two seasons. While Team uNIQUE took home 1000 euros, the winners of the 4th season in CS:GO ex-BLUEJAYS won 5000 euros.

CS:GO and FIFA in their prime

Moving forward to next year, Dota 2 and Hearthstone were replaced with Brawl Stars, a game that is still immensely popular and one of our featured games today. Many players who are still competing in 2024 in A1AL made their debuts in season 5 such as Tarik Novo, Esad Memic, brstimir in FIFA, and 4glory and Blink in CS:GO. Now as we know, Tarik Novo has six titles behind him and is expected to win even more.

As we know everything has an end except League of Legends, and in that matter, this MOBA made its return in 2021 with seasons 7 and 8 when Split Riders and Metamoon triumphed. While Tarik started his reign in FIFA. That year we unfortunately didn’t have LAN at the end of the year but we survived COVID better than we hoped as we had almost 30.000 watched hours with more than 200.000 live views.

The return of the LAN

The year 2022 brought back the LAN event and besides that, the finish of the jubilee 10th season of the A1 Adria League watched over 100,000 unique viewers. We introduced new games and a mini-tournament format where the additional games were played for one or two weekends instead of the whole season. Such was PUBG where Entropiq took the title, League of Legends, F1, and VALORANT who made its debut.

We didn’t stop at seven games and last year we had a total of nine different games and competitions. With CS:GO (now CS2), FIFA23 (now EAFC24), and Brawl Stars as main games, we introduced for the first time Fortnite, Trackmania and Rainbow Six Siege. Additionally, League of Legends, PUBG, and VALORANT stayed in the league as mini-tournaments.

Season 12 last November had an amazing LAN finish where the titles went out to Tarik Novo in EAFC24, Salada de Frutas in Brawl Stars, Zero Tenacity in CS2, and SHAQ came victorious in EAFC24 Mobile. Apart from the games, we hosted many different events as a part of Reboot InfoGamer powered by A1 with more than 50 hours of entertainment and a prize pool of more than 17,000 euros.

We already mentioned that this season the prize pool will be a whopping 40,000 euros and that the competition will be as exciting as ever with the first qualifiers starting at the beginning of June.

Get ready and sign up!

A1 Adria League Season 13 is waiting for you!

/1 Comment/in , , , , , , , /by

If you thought that this year you wouldn’t be participating in the A1 Adria League or watching the best regional players and teams, you are mistaken. Even though we are starting a bit later this year, we are more than ready to show you what we have planned for the 13th and 14th season. Keep reading to find out more!

Seven games, a LAN event, and a whopping prize pool

This year we are proud to inform you that we will be hosting 6 different games in both A1 Adria League seasons. Four games we will stream throughout the whole season while two of them will be a part of mini tournaments. All year long you will be able to enjoy CS2, EAFC23, EAFC24 Mobile, and Brawl Stars. We don’t want to reveal everything from the start, so stay tuned for the remaining two games! All we will say is that first one is from Riot Games, second one is a legendary fighting game, and the third is a very popular battle royale.

The prize pool for both seasons will be more than 40.000 Euros, and we are starting the league with the first qualifiers of the s13 on June 8th. Leaving you time to practice and prepare, since the competition is fierce each year. And while the 13th season will have a finale online, the ending for the 14th season will be a LAN party as a part of the Reboot event sometime in November!

As far as the format goes, for CS2, we will have six qualified teams and two invited to compete for the top prize. The group stage will be double elimination and the top 4 will move on to playoff.

Football lovers will enjoy EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile throughout four qualifiers, group stage, and finals. The group stage will contain four groups of four players. The remaining eight players will advance to the second stage of groups where there will be two groups with four players. From there we will get the best four who will compete in the playoffs.

Last but not least, Brawl Stars will have four qualifiers as well while the group stage is double elimination where the best 16 teams will compete in BO5/BO3 series.

Here are your S12 A1 Adria League champions!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

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.

 

Who is going to LAN in Zagreb? Find out in the new A1AL recap

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

There is almost no time left to secure a spot in the playoffs, earn a ticket to the Reboot InfoGamer event, and attend the LAN and the finish of the 12th A1 Adria League season in Zagreb this month. Read on to learn who secured their spot and who has one last chance to do so.

Suh12 secured the semifinals in EA FC Mobile

Suh12, a guy from Croatia, showed a unique desire to prove himself in front of his audience in Zagreb, and that’s how he played a decisive match with Kayozz. He won the duel against the Bosnian player with 2:0.

The favorite of the match, Ivand, had the opportunity to beat Lazar, knock him out of the competition, and secure a place in the semi-finals, but the opposite happened, it was 2:1 in the end in favor of Lazar. Now both are at 2:2 in overall aggregate. 

Nerko returns from 0:2 to 2:2 after another masterful game. He won against Tocc with a 2:0 victory, and it is the biggest comeback of this Swiss stage so far.

Marac and Fico join Novo in the top 4 in EA FC 24

In this round of the EA FC 24 Swiss Stage three members of the CLA organization successfully defeated their opponents and two of them even secured a spot in the playoffs.

The first match of the day was played between CLA TH3Prod1gy or Skrga and a rookie OlleDobrinho from Serbia. It was a direct fight for survival in the competition and at the same time for a step closer to the TOP 4. We have only been watching Skrga on the streams since last season, but a little more experience was enough compared to Dobrinjo. This is his debut season, but he showed that he was not in the top 8 by chance.

Second duel was played between a veteran of the A1AL brstimir and CLA Fico. This was a duel between players who have a score of 1-2 and 2-1, which meant that if Fico wins, he will ensure his place in the top 4, while we say goodbye to Brstimir for this season. That’s exactly what happened. This big derby went as expected in the third match, but Fico still found a way to be more patient and win the game in his favor.

The third and last match of this EA FC 24 Swiss Stage saw CLA Marac win against another rookie Nemanja. Marac, like Skrga, has been performing on the biggest stage in the region since last season, but he is in such form that he was considered a favorite for the top 4 from the very beginning of the season. With a duel against Nemanja, he ensured his place in the TOP 4. And Nemanja will seek his place in the LAN final next week in a direct duel against Skrga. Which will be the last match of the group stage in this game. 

The Suspect and Zero Tenacity are going to LAN

The semifinals in the CS2 competition of the A1 Adria League was played last Sunday and we have two teams that will attend the LAN in Zagreb and fight for the top prize. As you know Z10 is the defending champion and therefore a big favorite, but we know The Suspect will put up a hell of a fight. Let’s see how the games of the current finalists went last weekend.

The first match was played between Partizan Esports and The Suspect. An excellent start for The Suspect on their map pick which was Anubis, but Partizan is fighting well and harming The Suspect’s economy. Caley showed a fantastic performance yet again as half-time ended with a 7:5 for Partizan. They go on to take the pistol round and the initiative in the second half. An excellent team game that even Caley could not stop, resulting in victory on the first map with 13:7. The Suspect took only 2 rounds on the T side.

On Ancient, which Partizan picked, things were even up until the second half. The first one ended with a 6:6 score. Strong performance for The Suspect in the second half. Partizan took only one round on the CT side and the game ended 13:7 in favor of The Suspect. This evened the overall score and we saw the decider map play out. On Vertigo it was a complete domination for The Suspect, and the game ended with a 13:3 score.

Jake Bube makes Z10 work for it

The second match of the day between Zero Tenacity and Jake Bube started on Mirage. Both teams showed extraordinary performance. Jake Bube took the first half on the wings of Jayzar with a 7:5 score. After that, the game didn’t get any easier. In the end, however Z10 prevailed and won with a 13:11 score.

On Vertigo Jake Bube demolished their opponents in the first half with a result 8:3. The defending champions woke up in the second half and let their opponent take only one round on T side. The second map ended in favor of Z10 with a 13:9 score and an amazing comeback.
