The stage has been set the actor made known the only thing is to get this show started!
Let us introduce the teams that will be performing in front of everyone in Zagreb.
1. BLUEJAYS – at this point ex-Bluejays due to some internals problems the player’s decision to compete under the name ex-Bluejays. They had a phenomenal run throughout the group stage only dropping one single map to Unique, a team that they recently characterized as a team full of high performing individuals that are really hard to play against. Good thing they won’t be facing them in the semifinals but rather they will play against Vilay eSport. They are coming into the LAN finals as the favorites with their almost perfect track record we just hope that the recent organizational problems don’t affect their play.
2. uNique.Xportal – they came out blazing in the group stage, they didn’t lose 2 maps to any team and were the only ones to take a map of Bluejays, nobody should judge them with last years setup they are currently in their strongest form and they do not show any signs of weakness. Their opponent in the semi-finals will be team Jeste they managed to take both maps from them in the group stage, will it be a repeat of that encounter or will team Jeste manage to exploit some weakness, we and the crowd are eagerly expecting to see the result of these 2 teams crashing against each other!
3. Vilay eSport – Showing a strong performance overall only dropping two maps to Bluejays in the group stage which they will have to face in their semifinals match again, as Miloše “dEE” Marčeta recently said in the interview they can’t wait to play v.s their friends in Vilay eSport. Nothing is yet written in stone and the crowd might have an influence in the matches outcome we have some local fan favorites in the team like Luka “Brky” Brkanac the de desk analyst from previous years LAN finals, we can’t wait to see him perform on the other side of the action, best of luck to all of you!
4. JESTE – Rocky performance in the group stage which made them start of the online playoffs from the lower bracket but hey they overwhelmed everyone in it without dropping a single map they won the online playoffs and they don’t want to stop their dominance, they will be facing Unique in their semifinals match. In the group stage they lost both maps v.s them but a new stage a new crowd, they already showed that when their back is against the wall that they show no fear will they manage to show the same commitment and result as they did in the playoffs we are dying to find out!
Let’s take a moment to thank all of the team throughout the whole grope stage for giving us such amazing and thrilling matches and we think that the best is yet to come, therefore, do not miss the action.
A1 Adria League LAN finals for CS:GO will be played in a single-elimination bracket and all matches will be the Bo3 series.

Two teams will be joining us in the Group Stage of A1 Adria League Season 4 and they are Locastic Esports and BLUEJAYS! Welcome to the League boys.
Locastic Esports
Croatian powerhouse name made for themselves during the Season 2 of A1 Adria League. They managed to beat Valiance&CO (now CR4ZY) in the Group Stage but fell short on the LAN finals. They also managed to qualify for the LAN finals of ESL SEC Season 8 in Bucharest!
They didn’t just show us good games on servers, but on social media as well by setting up an example for other esports teams in the region. We are expecting nothing less of them in the upcoming season.
The important thing to note is that initially invite was sent to CR4ZY, the best CS:GO team in the region, but they decided to not accept it because of other obligations.
Guys from BLUEJAYS are putting up a lot of work past few months and they’re now ranked 67th team in the world! They are considered second-best team in the region just because no one can match CR4ZY at this point in time.
Now they’ll get a chance to prove it. They will be joining Locastic Esports, Vilay Esports and uNiQUE in the Group Stage of A1 Adria League Season 4. For sure, everyone will be looking to
The Group Stage of A1 Adria League Season 4 for CS:GO is starting on 12th of September but first, we have to find four more teams to join us. Eight of the best teams from the Open Qualifiers will battle it out during the weekend (31st of August, and 1st of September) for the spot in the League!

The Dota 2 playoffs put a high standard for the Season 3 of the League regarding the quality of the matches. The week after CS:GO didn’t disappoint either. In all quarterfinal matches, both teams managed to get to double digits. As the playoffs continued better teams started to prove their worth.
TheOverPowered was knocked to the lower bracket by uNiQUE that secured the spot in the Grand Finals. But the guys from theOP decided they want a rematch so they went on and win a close series against TRTRR in the Lower Bracket finals. Rematch in the Grand Finals between theOP and uNiQUE also went the distance and we saw all three maps, but in the end, uNiQUE managed to come out on top!
We talked to the captain of the team uNiQUE Sener “SENER1” Mahmuti about their recent success in the A1 Adria League.
What did you expect before the playoffs? Did you think you can win the whole thing, and who you considered to be the toughest opponent?
SNER1: “There were good teams in playoffs. We didn’t underestimate any of them, and yes we thought we would win. We know we have a lot of potential. The toughest opponent proved to be theOverPowered, also a great team.”
2. You managed to qualify for the next season of A1 Adria League featuring the 10.000 euros prize pool. What does that mean to you and your team?
SENER1: “It means a world to me and my team that we have chances to prove ourselves even more. It is a great opportunity for us.”
3. What can we expect out of uNiQUE? Any competitions in the near future?
SENER1: “Right now we don’t have any competitions going on but we will start practicing soon, fixing some of our mistakes, etc.”
4. Anything you would like to share with your fans and the general public?
SENER1: “We would like to thank the fans who were cheering and supporting us till now, its quite an honor for us.”

We’ll be crowning our CS:GO champions of the A1 Adria League this weekend for the third time in a row. Two times champions – Cr4zy (ex. Valiance) are now competing on the much higher level, and therefore other teams are getting the new opportunities.
The playoff stage will be played as a series of best of ones, where the lower bracket finals will be best of three and the Grand Finals best of three as well.
The action will be split into two days:
Day 1: 15.06.2019. 16:00 CEST Day 2: 16.06.2019. 16:00 CEST
And all of us will be able to watch the show and cheer for your favorite team on Facebook, YouTube and Twitch.tv!
MEET THE 8 REGIONAL TEAMS THAT WILL COMPETE IN THE PLAYOFFS AND GIVE THEM ALL A WARM WELCOME.
TRTRR vs. uNiQUE
uNiQUE are heading into this match as clear favorites. The team has had a lot of success in recent times and surely they will not miss a chance to continue to do so. The core of the team SENER1, sinnopsyy, and juanflatroo have been playing together for some time now. They were the only unbeaten team in the online group stage of the CSadria Clan Championship powered by A1 but didn’t attend the LAN finals due to the visa issues. Now they have the second chance to prove they are the top dogs in the region. Their opponents on the other hand, North Macedonian team TRTRR managed got to go to the before mentioned LAN finals because of the uNiQUE not attending. They’ve put up a strong performance but finished in the 3rd/4th in the end.
INVICTUS vs. to jeste
In the 3rd season, we have only one Serbian team in the playoffs for the first time in the history of the League, and it’s the team to jeste. But sure it’s an interesting one. We have the season 1 champion DJOKSiCK playing with other well-known players in the region like andr1x, juricM, dav, SHEV, and Salted. Some of them have already played in the finals of the A1 Adria League, in order to do so again, they’ll have to beat INVICTUS. The new and upcoming team from Montenegro played really well in the qualifiers One thing we do know about them is that they like to play CSadria Retakes public servers. The word going around is that they are really strong, but they’ll have to show it over the weekend against a very experienced team.
Vilay Black vs. Screamstars
Only Croatian team in the playoffs of the A1 Adria League will be facing Vilay Black, another team coming from North Macedonia. Screamstars were on the verge of the breakthrough on many occasions in the region, and they made it to the Season 3 playoffs. They’ll have to fill out the shoes of the Locastic Esports, team that represented Croatia really well last season. Vilay Black has been on the scene for some time now with several lineup changes. They’re always here, managing to qualify for the most regional tournaments and leagues, so seeing them in the top 8 of this season shouldn’t be a surprise.
Mischievous vs. TheOverPowerd (to be Vilay Esports)
Mischievous being the third team from North Macedonia means that this year we have the most representatives coming from that country. They’ve also been around for some time, we had to chance to watch their matches in several regional competitions, but they are struggling to advance to top 4. TheOverPowered guys recently found a new organization, but because of the rules, they’ll have to play under the tag they qualified. Always nice to see prominent players in the region like saveeey, brky and bustem doing well and thriving once again. But we’ll have to wait and see do they have what it takes to make it all the way to the finals.
WE WISH BEST OF LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS. MAY YOUR AIM BE ON PINT, YOUR SPRAY CONTROLLED AND YOUR UTILITY EFFICIANT!
In case you’ve missed it. Winners of the season 3 of the A1 Adria League will advance to the new cup organized by ESL SEC and A1 Adria League called the Pre-Climber Cup. You can find out everything about it here.
