As the A1 Adria League is returning so is the oldest game in this tournament – CS:GO. The most popular FPS in the world is back with the ninth A1AL season. CS:GO has been our core game since the beginning of the league, and this year we are giving you another chance to start your CS:GO career and climb to the top.

During the years we have seen many players and teams make a name for themselves while playing in A1 Adria League. You all remember Valiance&CO which was the champion in seasons one and two. The team was made out of one of the now best regional CS:GO players who went on and created such great careers. Hunter- and nexa both started their careers in A1AL and now they are playing for some of the most famous teams in the world, competing at the most prestigious CS:GO tournaments there are.

This year’s prize pool for CS:GO is 5,000€ while the best Adriatic team will be awarded 2,500€.

Best teams from qualifications will be joined by the two invited teams. They will battle in SWISS group stage for 4 slots in the finals. In the finals, we will have the opportunity to see the best 4 regional CS:GO teams compete for the title in the single-elimination bracket.

Get ready for the new season of A1 Adria League!

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

The ninth season lies at the doorsteps, and qualifications for our own A1 Adria League are starting soon. Don’t wait any longer and sign up so you can start competing for the title of being the best in the region. The new season of the most prestigious tournament in our region is bringing something new each year. This year is no exception.

We are adding more games this year, alongside the standard ones, Brawl Stars, CS:GO, and FIFA 22. League of Legends and Clash Royale will also be a part of the ninth season of A1 Adria League, only with a slightly different format. And that’s not all. The best regional players will have an opportunity to compete at two new games, which will for now remain a secret.

The ninth season brings seven games

The previous year was a successful one for A1 Adria League. Fans have had the chance to follow the progress of regional players in different games, and enjoy the league. The fact that A1AL had almost 29.000 watched hours last year, and a whopping number of 463.000 views on YouTube shows that regional esports is growing every day.

For this year and two upcoming seasons, we have made a few changes. Instead of four games, as was mentioned earlier, the ninth season will have seven! The format will remain almost the same for Brawl Stars, CS:GO and FIFA 22 while in the other four games players will have a different experience. League of Legends, Clash Royale, and two mystery games will be held on the weekends with open qualifiers and the finals event.

A1 Adria League seven games

Popular CS:GO is yet again back. Last year we have seen PORTUGAL win the trophy, beating teams such as iNation and 4Glory, who are at the moment in great form proving this year’s competition won’t be any easier than last year’s. Don’t miss the chance to fight with the best teams in the region!

Last year’s Brawl Star champions were team Flow alongside Lavvek who proved that in the region this mobile game is growing more and more with each successful season. Familiar names in this game, which we have seen last year are Winx Club, Omert4, Lightning Strike, and many others.

FIFA 21 was one of the most interesting games to follow last year. Three-time back-to-back champion Amke has shown once again he is not letting go of the throne that easily. Despite the great effort of esad1memic and brstimir, Amke remained the king of FIFA. However, as the season is on its way, new opportunities to dethrone Amke are opening up, as well the opportunities for the three-time champion to defend his title.

The only MOBA in our A1 Adria League League of Legends waits for the new champion. Last year the trophy fell into the hands of Metamoon who didn’t have an easy job. They defeated Harmony and 49% winrate in order to lift the trophy. Even though Harmony was a better team in the semifinals, Metamoon got their revenge in the finals when they bested their opponents.

What to expect this season?

Besides the seven games we are implementing this season, A1 Adria League is bringing more to the new season. Once again you will be able to enjoy A1 Gaming Weekends. Six of these events will be held between the ninth and tenth season of A1AL, in order to provide more fun and competitions while the offseason lasts. At the A1 Gaming Weekends regional players will be able to enjoy competing with each other in a more relaxing atmosphere.

From A1 Adria League to the biggest tournaments in the world

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Throughout eight seasons of A1 Adria League (A1AL), we had the opportunity to see some of the biggest regional talents in esports. The fact that goes in favor of this is that some of them had the chance to work or play on some of the biggest esports tournaments in the world. As there are too many of them we can’t fit them all, so we singled out the most successful ones.

Four years and eight seasons of A1 Adria League

It’s been four years since the first season of the A1 Adria League, at that time called Vip Adria League. Since the beginning, a lot of things have changed. However, the help in the development and establishment of domestic esports players has always remained the same. It wasn’t just the players who were gaining a valuable platform for competing and experience throughout the league, but also those who had the opportunity to work on this project. The image of regional esports wouldn’t be the same today without one of the most long-lived leagues. 

Thousands of players played countless matches in order to obtain the flattering title of best in the region. Some of them have made impressive careers. 

Valiance&CO – the legendary roster

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the game that has been a part of A1 Adria Leagues since season one. One of the teams which marked this league since the beginning is Valiance&CO, champions of the first two seasons. Even though Valiance&CO have won the league with slightly different rosters, the core of this team remained the same. nexa, huNter-, emi and LETN1 did that miracle run with CR4ZY at StarLadder Major in Berlin, while Impulse kept dominating the regional CS:GO scene for years to come.

Duo players Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač, who won the league two times, and Nemanja “nexa” Isaković who joined the team before the second title, also used to play together in G2 Esports – one of the top five CS:GO teams in the world! They split ways in their recent careers with nexa joining the ranks of OG, while huNter- stayed with NiKO in a refreshed G2 lineup featuring m0NESY and aleksib – competing at both the Intel Extreme Masters tournament in Köln and IEM Katowice in Poland.

Besides them, we have to mention Pavle “maden” Bošković who starred in A1 Adria League playing for teams like UltiCoin and Ripple Esports. After a few years with the FPX core, he moved on to compete under the ENCE’s banner. ex-BLINK with different rosters and by various names also participated in the league. Today the four members Sener “SENER1” Mahmuti, Flatro “juanflatroo” Halimi, Dionis “sinnopsyy” Budeci, and Genc “gxx-” Kolgeci are in the top 50 teams in the world, currently looking for organization to represent.

G2 huNter2

The KlikTech journey

From the champions in the first two seasons in the A1 Adria League in League of Legends, you could probably make a respectable European team.

Toni “Sacre” Sabalić and Aljoša “Milica” Kovandžić, players of the now legendary KlikTech, after great regional success, have found their way to the League of Legends European Championship, the strongest European league in this esports. They were part of the team which surprised the whole European LoL scene qualifying to top eight of European Masters in 2018. Regional representatives had only one better performance in this tournament since its inception. ASUS ROG ELITE was the better team, who in order to win the second season of the league had to beat KlikTech, mentioned earlier. Dino “LIMIT” Tot played for ASUS that year, and today he is a BDS player in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC). 

World success isn’t reserved only for players

It wasn’t only the players that made it to the top of world esports. A lot of people who were during the years working on the realization of A1 Adria League now still work in esports and on some of the biggest tournaments. They are rarely spoken of, but their success isn’t any less valuable, and they are equally important for the growth and development of regional esports. One of them is Ante “med1cz” Medić. In A1 Adria League he was an observer, and you could also see him commentating on some of the matches. Today he works for Ubisoft, as an official observer and in-game director of the biggest Rainbow Six Siege tournaments. He worked on the broadcast of the biggest R6 esports tournaments, including Six Invitational in Montreal and Paris, as well as Six Mexico Major.

After two intense maps, PORTUGAL claim the A1 Adria League title!

/0 Comments/in , /by

PORTUGAL outplayed iNation in the grand final of this season of our CS:GO league and won the main prize of 2000€.

Our CS:GO final stage once again featured a single-elimination bracket with four teams in contention for the main prize. iNation, PORTUGAL, 4glory, and the recently announced Marten Gaming faced each other to decide the best Adriatic team of this season. Firstly, PORTUGAL played against 4glory. In their second duel for this season, the Macedonian-majority team once again prevailed and defeated Miloš “dEE” Marčeta’s squad with a 2-1 result.

Next up, iNation were paired up against Marten Gaming. The former recently traveled back from Isreal, where they played in the 13. IESF World Championship, and now they came back to play the A1 Adria League. Marten was a good match for the team, but iNation managed to squeeze past them on both maps (Inferno – 16:14; Dust2 – 16:13). In the third-place decider, Marten Gaming once again lost. This time, they couldn’t overcome the second Serbian team, 4glory Esports.

PORTUGAL started off strong on their map pick – Mirage. 10 rounds on the CT side gave them a good lead heading into the second half. There, they let iNation win five rounds but managed to close out the map without many problems. Inferno was the map pick of iNation and they looked much better on this map. However, PORTUGAL bounced back and brought the game to overtime. After a quadruple overtime match, Blaže “HEv1X” Hristov carried his team to victory and secured the first place for PORTUGAL.

CSGO Playoffs

The final CS:GO standings:

1. PORTUGAL – 2000€
2. rs iNation – 1500€
3. rs 4glory Esports – 1000€
4. Marten Gaming – 500€

 

Marten to replace BLUEJAYS in the CS:GO playoffs!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Instead of BLUEJAYS, it will be Marten Gaming who will try to claim the throne in the final playday of this CS:GO season.

Yesterday, one of the A1 Adria League participants managed to accomplish a great feat on the international CS:GO scene. Namely, BLUEJAYS, a team consisting of players that have been a part of the A1 Adria League for years won the 13. IESF World Championship. The tournament is one of the rare ones nowadays that incorporate a country-based system in the format. National squads from all over the world traveled to Eliat, Israel to try to claim the World Champions’ title on LAN. Team Serbia, Kosovo, and Macedonia represented the region in Israel, and Macedonia managed to claim the title after a dominant win against Romania in the grand finals.

Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts between the two tournaments will make it impossible for BLUEJAYS to attend the CS:GO playoffs. Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski and his team qualified for the playoffs in Round 4 and unlike iNation, their traveling schedule won’t let them arrive in time for the final stage. Instead of BLUEJAYS, a chance to win the main A1 Adria League S8 prize will be given to Marten Gaming. The Bosnian-majority roster has been a force not to be reckoned with in recent times, so it will be a joy to watch them play the playoffs bracket.

The CS:GO playoffs will be played on Sunday, as a part of the last Reboot Online Games Week day. Four teams – Marten, 4glory, iNation and PORTUGAL will fight for a prize pool of €5.000 and the title of the best team in the Adriatic region. What do you think, who will become the new CS:GO champion?

A1 Adria League playoffs to be a part of Reboot Online Games Week!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

The second A1 Adria League season of 2021 is a week away from the final matches that will decide our new champions. Here is a short recap of the season so far.

Three SWISS stages completed; LoL ready for its final matches

Over the course of the past months, A1 Adria League was once again the battleground of four titles: CS:GO, League of Legends, Brawl Stars and FIFA. A huge number of players from every single country in the region signed up to play and compete in their game of choice. A qualifying stage was followed by a SWISS group in three of the four games, excluding League of Legends. Last week those SWISS group concluded, and we now know all of the playoffs participants.

Brawl Stars was Salada de Frutas’ playground during the entirety of the SWISS stage. In only three rounds, they managed to continue the winning streak the team had in the qualifiers and advance to the playoffs with ease. Right after them, three Brawl Stars squads followed them in the playoffs. Winx Club and Omert4 did so with a 3-1 record, while Lightning Strike qualified in the last round. Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac, Esad “esad1memic” Memić, Haris “edenn95” Lukomirak and Tarik “amke2001” Novo were the fastest to adapt to the new FIFA edition and clinch the top 4 spots in the eight season of FIFA.

Moving to CS:GO, the team that debuted in the league, iNation, was also the team that had a perfect run. We will watch three teams that were a part of the final stage in the previous season as well. Namely, the two Macedonian teams, PORTUGAL and BLUEJAYS,  and 4glory are going to make an appearance in our upcoming single-elimination bracket. Finally, League of Legends is nearing the end of the playoffs bracket. Metamoon, Harmony and 49%winrate are left to play out the remainder of the season.

S8 Playoffs

We are also more than happy to announce the return of Reboot Online Games Week. Three studios, over 150 hours of content, and plenty of rewards for everyone following the event. And yes, the third ROGW edition will also be completely free. Whether you are here to watch shows and segments about gaming, game development, or you prefer esports content, Reboot Online Games Week has you covered. We will once again feature a multitude of shows for everyone’s taste.

Keep following our Social Media to learn more about the individual segments and get ready to participate in one of the biggest regional gaming events.

4glory to play in the playoffs after defeating Marten!

/0 Comments/in , /by

With a 2-0 win against Marten Gaming, 4glory have clinched the last CS:GO playoffs spot for the season.

Finally, after Brawl Stars and FIFA, it was CS:GO’s time to complete the playoffs’ participants list. In the final duel of this regular season, 4glory met Marten Esports. After they missed their chance to qualify in Round 4, the Serbian powerhouse had another go today. They showed that they learned from their mistakes and were much better in Round 5. Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac’s team crushed Marten on Marten’s map pick, Dust2 (16:7). Inferno was even worse for the Bosnian squad as they managed to score only six rounds before falling short to the in-form 4glory quintet (4glory 16:6 Marten).

With this game coming to an end, we know the four playoffs teams: iNation, BLUEJAYS, PORTUGAL, and 4glory. Three of these four teams also competed in the previous season’s playoffs, which only proves that the region has a number of constant teams that keep together for a longer time. The only new team to join the playoffs’ list this season is iNation.

 These are the final standings of this CS:GO season:
