Check out what happened in the third A1AL qualifiers week!

The third week since the beginning of the 12th A1 Adria League season is already behind us. Many interesting matches were played, and excitement wasn’t absent. We even crowned the first champion in this A1AL season in League of Legends. Read on to learn more about FIFA23, FIFA Mobile, CS: GO, and LoL tournament results.

Shaq wins the second FIFA Mobile qualifiers

Unlike the first qualifier in FIFA Mobile, our new A1 Adria League tournament, the second didn’t see many surprises and upsets. At the top of the leaderboard are currently Kayozz, the winner of the first qualifier, and Shaq. These two players bested their opponents on their side of the bracket and made it to the finals. There, Shaq managed to snatch a victory from Kayozz and claim 120 points.

This puts him in the second place, while Kayozz remains the first with 200 points. He obtained 80 points in second place in the second FIFA Mobile qualifier. Ivand and Nerko are sharing the third spot with 90 points overall.

There is still time to earn more points and secure the group stage by signing up for the third qualifier set on September 22nd. You can do it HERE!

Third FIFA23 qualifier without a winner!

In the third FIFA23 qualifier, Teo “Sibirski_Plavac” Radman was the one who reached the finals and won 100 points. However, we found out another player was playing on his account and climbing in his place. Harun “Hara” Parla, a known FIFA player in the region, was boosting Teo, leading to both players being disqualified from the league.

Since these two players are now out of the league, the leaderboard in FIFA23 looks a bit different. Novo and Marac are still at the top with 140 points each. Haris, who made it to the finals in the third qualifier, has 90 points, followed by Esad Memic and Brstimir with 80 and 70 points, respectively.

The last FIFA23 qualifier will be played on September 23rd. Sign up for it HERE!

Underdogs Salamander and Megnatos made it to CS: GO group stage!

Out of 36 teams, only two could secure the group stage in the last CS: GO qualifier. Those teams were Salamander and Megnatos, who bested some familiar CS: GO players in the region and wider. They are the last two teams to make it to the group stage and join 4 qualified and 2 invited ones.

GhoulsW made another appearance but couldn’t get past ZGOINGON in the quarter-finals with HOLMES-, aidKiT, and choiv7 in their roster. However, this team didn’t make it far from there. They lost in the next round to Megnatos. Some of the names worth mentioning that also couldn’t secure groups are cerber-, deb0, v1w, and vAloN9, who we know from Kosovo organization X, and gejmzilla, who returned to A1 Adria League after a couple of seasons. Unfortunately, he will have to wait for the next one.

DZANGLERI are the new LoL champions!

Out of 16 teams, DZANGLERI made it to the end and won the first mini-tournament of the 12th A1 Adria League season, League of Legends. Another title goes into the hands of DZANGLERI, who also came on top in the ninth A1AL season. Panj also took another trophy home after showing up in many A1AL seasons.

The champions defeated VoidEsport in the finals 2:0 and rightfully claimed the throne and the 750 euros prize.

Close to winning were HARMONY and Stara Garda, previous champions in the A1 Adria League in this tournament. Both teams made it to the semifinals but weren’t successful. They battled against one another in the match for third place, where Stara Garda celebrated with a 1:0 score.

Second A1AL Qualifiers week brought many exciting matches!

Players from FIFA23 and CS: GO have already finished their second A1AL qualifiers and are now closer to securing the group stage, while some already did. On the other hand, last weekend, FIFA Mobile saw its debut. The first qualifiers welcomed as many as 130 players, and the best was Kayozz, who took 120 points and first place.

Upsets in the first FIFA Mobile qualifiers

There were many upsets and surprises in the first-ever FIFA Mobile qualifiers in the 12th A1 Adria League season. Two Gaming Weekend finalists from the “Balkan Top H2H” organization didn’t make it past the second round. The winner of Gaming Weekend, Andrija06, lost in the first round, while Shaq, the second finalist from this event, only made it to the second round.

Another upset was the elimination of the second-best FIFA Mobile player worldwide, Suhopolja12, who also lost in the first round of the qualifiers.

Those players who made upsets and eliminated the favorites were Kayozz from the Bosnian organization “BHSMC Balkan,” who defeated Medinjo, Maglica, Nemanja, HajdukKryptoa, Benjamin and, in the best-of-five duel, bested Bojan is Back.

The second-best qualifier was Macedonian player IvanD from the organization “Ujedinjeni,” who defeated Shaq, Bule, Havertz, and Nerko in the semifinals. He went home with 80 points.

Novo defeated many familiar names and won the most points and first place in these qualifiers. With 100 points, he is now second on the scoreboard, while CLA_marac90 kept his first place by obtaining 40 points.

The battle for the most points happened between two old rivals, Novo and Esad. Esad1memic didn’t manage to defeat Novo and received 70 points, while Tarik, in two games, won with an overall score of 8:3.

Two more teams have secured the SWISS group stage in the CS: GO competition of A1AL. Besides MBAPPEEK, Partizan, Jake Bube, and current champions Zero Tenacity, teams The Suspect and RUR Esports found their way into the top eight.

Many familiar CS: GO teams signed up for this qualifier and competed against the best in the region. The Suspect roster, who previously played under Blink, didn’t lose a single map. Gulito and his team once again secured the group stage and are ready for the battle for the crown.

On the other side of the bracket, another familiar name made it to the finals of the qualifier, RUR Esports. They defeated ghoulsW with 2:0, another familiar regional CS: GO team.

CLA_marac90 won the first FIFA qualifier; Patrizan and MBAPPEEK successful in CS:GO!

The qualifiers for the 12th A1 Adria League started this weekend. We saw intense competition in FIFA23 and CS: GO first qualifiers. The most successful player in the FIFA23 qualifier was CLA_marac90, who won 100 points. On the other hand, the winners of the first CS: GO qualifiers were Partizan and MBAPPEEK, who secured the group stage.

The first two CS: GO group stage spots taken!

The first CS:GO qualifiers are over. We saw many successful regional teams battle it out on different maps.

They secured their spots in the group stage, joining the two invited teams and last year’s finalists, Jake Bube, and the current champions, Zero Tenacity.

Get ready for a new CS:GO tournament in the A1AL!

A couple of months ago, we crowned the best team in the league and the best CS:GO regional five-person squad, Zero Tenacity. The Serbian team took another trophy in the league, the third one in a row, making them a menace to anyone attempting to take them down from their throne.

Even though it seems like it was yesterday, the CS:GO finale of the 11th A1 Adria League was played in June, and now, in August, we are ready for new adventures. Sign up for CS:GO qualifiers and begin your climb to greatness.

The first qualifier is around the corner!

The new A1 Adria League season always brings something new, and this year isn’t different. The CS:GO competition of the 12th season will have three qualifiers instead of four like it was in the previous years. This doesn’t mean the competition won’t be interesting; it only means we are allowing the best two teams from last season a free pass. Namely, current champions Zero Tenacity and vice champions Jake Bube are the two invited teams who will wait for their opponents in the SWISS group stage.

The first chance for qualifying for the CS:GO group stage is September 3rd. Sign up now by clicking on the link below and secure a spot in the group stage!

A1 Adria League: Exciting Finale Crowns Champions in FIFA23, CS:GO, and Brawl Stars!

The 11th edition of the prestigious regional A1 Adria League has concluded. Last weekend’s unforgettable finale crowned the champions in three games: FIFA23, CS:GO, and Brawl Stars. Tension filled the air throughout the three-day Reboot Games Weekend powered by A1, as the best gamers competed for a total prize pool of €16,800 at the Zagreb Fair from June 9th to 11th, marking the largest prize pool in the league’s history.

Tarik Novo claims the FIFA23 champion title

In a thrilling final, Novo emerged as the five-time champion of the A1 Adria League. Esad and Novo are familiar opponents, but in the final, the better player rightfully celebrated victory. Esad Memić held a 1-0 lead in the final, having reached the grand finale through the upper bracket. However, Novo orchestrated a remarkable comeback in three intense matches, clinching the trophy for the 11th season of the A1 Adria League.

Salada de Frutas – the top Brawl Stars team in the region

Karma to OP had limited chances against Salada de Frutas in the Brawl Stars final. With this latest triumph, Salada de Frutas secured their third A1 Adria League championship title, further solidifying their dominance in the domestic Brawl Stars scene.

Zero Tenacity – CS:GO champions

Zero Tenacity outplayed Jake Bube with a decisive 3-0 victory, successfully defending their title from the previous year. The dominant performance of the Zero Tenacity squad does not fully reflect the true nature of the final. Jake Bube had their opportunities, but they failed to capitalize on them effectively.

A1AL Season 11 Zero Tenacity CSGO

Year after year, we are growing together with our loyal players and fans, whom we gather on the widest optical network with minimal latency in Croatia. We continuously invest in a community that demonstrates increasing interest, confirming that we are doing the right thing.

aVN: I think we have the advantage because we are a team

On Sunday, June 11th, Filip “aVN” Belojica will have the opportunity to defend his title as the reigning champion of the 10th season of the A1 Adria League in the grand final of the 11th season, facing off against the formidable team of Jake Bube. These two teams share a deep-rooted rivalry and extensive familiarity.

aVN has an impressive track record, being a four-time winner of the A1 Adria League. He claimed victory in Season 4 with ex-BLUEJAYS, followed by consecutive wins in Season 5 and 6 with Level Up Esports. His most recent triumph came in Season 10 with Zero Tenacity, where he secured the championship. Additionally, aVN has achieved success twice at the Esport Adria Championship, emerging victorious in the 5th and 6th editions.

In this exclusive interview, we delve into aVN’s journey, his experiences, and his insights as he prepares for yet another fierce battle on the A1 Adria League stage.

Z10 Filip aVN Belojica

You’re in the A1 Adria League final once again. Congratulations! How was the journey to the final compared to last season?

Thank you! Unlike last season, where we barely made it through the group stage, this time it was much easier. The only tough match we had in the group stage was against Portugal.

You have won the A1 Adria League four times and are one of the most successful players in the tournament. How do you feel about that, and does it motivate you even more for the fifth trophy?

The feeling is always the same, aiming to win any tournament, especially if it’s a LAN event. The motivation is always there, and I hope to win the fifth trophy as well.

You are facing the team Jaka Buba, composed of players you know well. You have already won the A1 Adria League with some of them, but they also know you well. Who do you think has the advantage because of that, and why?

They are all good players, and we are all good friends. We have played together before, and we know each other very well. But I think we have the advantage because we are a team and therefore have a better map pool, while they come as a mix.

How do you like playing tournaments in Zagreb, especially the A1 Adria League?

As someone who has played many tournaments in Zagreb, I’m really glad to play there again in front of an audience. Of course, I’m particularly happy to play in the A1 Adria League because I have many great memories from your tournaments.

Lastly, the CS:GO era is coming to an end, and it’s likely that we will all be playing CS2 soon. What does that personally mean to you, and what does it mean for Z10?

Honestly, we haven’t tried CS2 yet because we are still playing a lot of tournaments. As far as I’m concerned, every change is welcome. We will continue in the same lineup and hope to achieve even better results in CS2.

Watch aVN and Z10 on Sunday as he tries to win his fifth A1AL trophy against Jake Bube in the grand finals of the Season 11!

CS:GO, FIFA and BS players are ready for LAN!

Season 11 in the A1 Adria League is coming to an end. The group stage is officially over, and the teams in multiple games are ready to compete for the top prize, the title, and the right to call themselves the best. Who will win the 11th season in FIFA, BS, and CS:GO find out this weekend in Zagreb!

Zero Tenacity is one step closer to defending the title

Four best teams in this CS:GO seasons were Jake Bube, Portugal, Zero Tenacity, and Infernus Esports. Only two have made it to the finish line, and their battle will be held at Zagrebacki velesajam during a Reboot Games Weekend event. Zero Tenacity once again secured a place in the finals, winning by a considerable margin against team Infernus Esports. Z10 was dominant on both maps, with scores of 16:6 on Mirage and 16:2 on Nuke. As expected of them, they justified the role of favorites.

The second finalist is team Jake Bube. Suppose I might say a slight surprise over team Portugal who had a well-known name in the region DEPRESHN in their roster. Jake Bube played solid two matches, winning with the same result, 16:13 on Mirage and Inferno. The battle in the finals will be tense, but the advantage has to be given to Zero Tenacity as the defenders of the title and last year’s champions.

Novo is back for the fifth FIFA title.

We witnessed an exciting FIFA23 competition in this season of A1AL. Novo, Esad, Fico, and Marec are the best four players coming out victorious. Many familiar names again at the end, and only two will have the chance to battle for the title at the LAN event in Zagreb. Esad and Novo got 2:0 wins against their opponents in the semifinals. Esad bested Fico, while Novo was better than Marec.

Esad and Novo battled it out in the winner bracket’s finals, with Esad as the victor. He defeated Novo with a 2:1 score. Thus Novo fell to the loser bracket, where he had to beat Fico, who previously eliminated Marec in the lower bracket semifinals. Novo defeated Fico with a 2:1 score and got a chance for revenge against Esad.

In the best-of-five match, Novo will have his shot against Esad in the finals. Since Esad won the winner bracket finals, he will have a win advantage in the grand finals.

The second title for Esad or the fifth one for Novo?

Salada and Menace in the BS finals

This season one of our previous main games, Brawl Stars, had a different format. Instead of competition lasting throughout the whole season, Brawlers battled it out in two qualifiers. played on May 25th and June 1st. The two best teams who came out victorious out of the qualifiers are Salada de Frutas, now just Frutas, and Menace2Society.

Frutas was dominant in the first qualifier; they even eliminated their opponents in the upcoming finals Menace2Society, and some familiar names in the region, such as Jazavci, La Aquilla, etc. In the second qualifier, with Frutas out of the way, Menace2Society got their chance to qualify, which they did.

The finals will be tense in the Brawl Stars competition since former teammates will now be opponents. Namely, Decai, who won the BS tournament with Omerta last year, had Protic as his teammate. Protic is now a part of Menace2Society, while Decai plays for Frutas. Don’t miss the action this weekend in Zagreb!

Entropiq won the PUBG title.

One of the mini-tournaments played recently was in PUBG. Once again, the favorites were clear, and they bested the competition once again to defend the title for the second time. So far, we had three PUBG tournaments in three seasons in the A1 Adria League, and all three went into the hand of Entropiq. This team is a well-known name in both regional and worldwide tournaments. The best player in the 11th season of A1AL was Lukarux, who won the MVP prize.

A1AL second weekly recap is here! Check out what happened in CS:GO, FIFA and R6

During the previous week we had the opportunity to follow some of the best duels in FIFA23, CS:GO and Rainbow Six Siege, or R6. There were some surprises, but also some favorites got the expected wins.

Esad lost against CLA_TH3Prod1gy in the biggest surprise of the evening

In FIFA23 second round, a lot of exciting matches were seen. In the first duel, CLA_marac90 was playing against Dani. A big win for Matija Marković after a lousy start to the Swiss stage last week. The competitor of the CLA organization controlled the result during this duel and had an advantage all the time that he did not let go until the end.

The second match was a significant loss for esad1memic who lost against CLA_TH3Prod1gy. Tin was calmer in the penalty shootout of the first match, and then a turnaround in the second game in which the champion of the fifth season had a goal advantage, but Skrgatic deservedly celebrated with Mbappe’s goals. The final score was 2:0 (the first match – penalties 6:5, and the second ended with a 2:1 result).

In the Novo – Jasik big duel, in the first match, Jasik scored two goals in the first 15 minutes and managed to keep the lead until the end, even though Novo was only a goal behind at one point with a missed penalty. A completely different picture was seen in the second leg, where Tarik Novo played like in his best days and with 4:1 secured the playing of the third match. Novo took the lead in the decisive duel, and Cumbo equalized by half-time, but then two goals from Tarik continued for the final 3:1. (final score 2:1)

CLA_FIFAFICO and Parla will play their duel on the weekend off-stream. The winner of that duel will play against Novo next week.

TeamForAdria is in the finals of the lower bracket

The first two R6 matches were played off-stream because they could not play the game the week before because of problems Ubisoft was having. In the first match against EU45thGremlins, 5 Big Guys celebrated, and in the second, it was BobTheBuilder who came out as the victor. Both matches ended with a score of 7:5, so it was very tense and in the end, 5BG lacked a bit of luck.

The third match, which was the decider, did not take place, BottomG surrendered the match because they could not gather (internal problems), thus TeamForAdria automatically won 2:0 and qualified for the lower bracket final.

Z10 and Portugal will fight for the first spot in the playoffs

In what can only be described, as a tense week in CS:GO, Zero Tenacity and Portugal got their second win of the group stage. They now have an overall 2:0 score and will fight it out next week. The winner of that match will earn themselves a spot in the playoff stage of the competition.

Team-one had a close game against Opusti se, but in the end, they managed to secure a victory with a score of 16:12 on Ancient. The best player in that match, from team-one was maQuein with 29 frags.

In the second match of the day, Zero Tenacity was fighting JESTE on Inferno. nEMANHA and his team got an easy win against their opponents with a 16:7 score. Z10 simke was without a doubt the best player of that match with 32 kills.

The third match was the most dominant one, for the side of Portugal. The score of 16:3 says a lot about this fact. DEPRESHN and A Ego had an amazing match. Both of them scored more than 20 kills.

The match between Infernus and Confusee was not played on the same day as the rest, but it will be played off-stream.

Favorites justified the role in both FIFA23 and CS:GO!

The first round of the group stage in the A1 Adria League was played throughout the past week. In the first round of the SWISS group stage, we saw favorites coming on strong and securing themselves the first victories, and with each win, they get closer to securing playoffs, and a spot in the top 4.

Bosnian FIFA23 players dominant

We witnessed some exciting matchups in the first round of the FIFA23 group stage. From the qualifiers, we got the best eight in this competition, of which four are Croatian players and four come from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the first round out of four, as many as three Bosnian players defeated their opponents.

The most interesting match was the last one of the day, a Bosnian duel between two very familiar names in the A1 Adria League and the region. Esad1memic got maybe the hardest opponent in this first round, battling against none other than Tarik Novo, the four-time A1AL FIFA champion. Even though Esad put up a fight, Tarik Novo seems to have in his mind the fifth title, and he is off to a good start. He defeated his opponents with a 2:1 score.

In the other matches, Hara defeated CLA_marac90 with another 2:1 score, as well as Jasik who with the same score was better than CLA_TH3Prod1gy. The easiest win was achieved by CLA_Fico who defeated Dani without losing a game (2:0).

The second round of FIFA will be played on May 12th.

Here is who got the first win in CS:GO

The teams who were successful in the first round of the CS:GO group stage were favorites. They did what everyone expected from them and defeated their opponents. Zero Tenacity, Portugal, Jake Bube, and JESTE got their first wins and are in a great spot before the second round of groups.

In the first match, team-one was battling Jake Bube on Mirage, and the match was intense. In the end, it was Jake Bube who came out victorious with a 16:13 score, where the best player was DiMKE with 27 frags. The most dominant victory, looking at the score, went into the hands of team Portugal. DEPRESHN and Maki got a 16:9 win over team Opusti se on Inferno. The fact that all five players of Portugal had better stats than their opponents says how dominant they were.

The other two matches both got the same result of 16:10. Zero Tenacity bested Confuse and JESTE defeated Infernus Esports. The best players in Z10 were nEMANHA, simke, and brutmonster, while the top fragger in JESTE’s win was HLEB with 26 kills.

The second round of the CS:GO group stage in the A1 Adria League is scheduled for May 14th.
