Zero Tenacity and Infernus were successful in the first CS:GO qualifier!

The main game in the 11th season of the A1 Adria League and the tournament with a giant prize pool has started. On Sunday, April 9th more than 40 teams participated and competed for their spot in the group stage of the CS:GO competition. In the first qualifier, the winners were Zero Tenacity, last season’s champions, and Infernus NXT. They secured their spot in the next stage and are now awaiting their opponents.

Zero Tenacity on their way to defend the title

In the middle of November last year we crowned the CS:GO champions for the jubilee 10th season of the A1 Adria League, Zero Tenacity. And yet, they are already slowly making their way into the competition, for a chance at another title. Out of 42 teams, Zero Tenacity, alongside Infernus, was the best team in the qualifier. They swiped their opponents through the bracket and made their way to the decider best-of-three series where they took down Klan Rur. Nemanha and his team achieved wins on Anubis and Overpass. On Anubis their victory was as dominating as it can be, winning this map with only 2 lost rounds (16:2). On Overpass they were a force to be reckoned with as well, but the enemy got slightly more rounds in their pocket. That second map ended with a 16:6 score.

On the other side of the bracket, the best team was Infernus NXT. The team led by NEBO in the decider bo3 match defeated DopaminersGG. The first map was Inferno and it was a really close one, as we saw the match go into overtime, but in the end, Infernus was successful on Inferno with a 28:26 score. The next game was a lot easier and there Infernus won with a 16:5 on Anubis.

There are eight spots overall in the group stage, and two are already filled. More chances are offered in the three remained qualifiers. The second qualifier for CS:GO is scheduled for next week, April 16th. You can sign up for it HERE!

Second time’s the charm for Homies in Paris and EU45th Gremlins!

The second Rainbow Six Siege qualifier in the A1 Adria League finished on Saturday, April 8th. Two more teams have joined the league and secured their spots in the group stage of this competition. We had two best-of-three series between four registered teams, and the ones that came out victorious were Homies in Paris and EU45th Gremlins.

Two more R6 teams join the league

As we have seen last week, NORM TIPS and 5 Big Guys were the strongest teams in the first qualifier and therefore made it to the group stage. This Saturday two more teams joined them, with slightly fewer opponents. Only four teams signed up so we had two Bo3 matches between Homies in Paris and Team Jorgovan, and EU45th Gremlins who were against Imal Tanje.

Homies in Paris showed excellent performance in the previous qualifier, reached the decider match, but failed to win it. This time they left nothing to chance and with an easy win secured the spot in the groups. On Theme Park they defeated Team Jorgovan with a 7:0 score, while on Border the result was 7:2, again in favor of “Homies”.

As was already mentioned EU45th Gremlins were the victors in the second match. They also competed in the first qualifier, but under a different name, AnimeorLoss. They took the win over team Imal Tanje on maps ClubHouse and Oregon with dominating scores of 7:0, and 7:3 on the second map. This team was eliminated in the first qualifier by 5 Big Guys, and now that they have made it to the groups, they will seek revenge against them.

The next, third qualifier in Rainbow Six Siege is scheduled for next week, April 15th. Then we will find out who will join these four teams, and leave only two spots in the group stage. You can sign up for the third qualifier HERE!

Hara takes down Gruby in the first FIFA qualifier and earns 100 points!

The first FIFA23 qualifier has ended in favor of Harun “Hara” Parla who defeated the current FIFA champion Marko “Gruby” Grubisic. Out of 180 players Hara managed to get to the top of the competition and earn himself 100 points. Gruby in second place got 70 points, which was also a really good start to the tournament.

Hara wins the first FIFA qualfier

As you already know FIFA competition in the A1 Adria League has four qualifiers, where the players compete in order to earn as many points as they can. In the end, the best eight players, with the most points and best performance are entering the league and the group stage.

The first qualifier was really interesting to watch, and we saw some familiar names again. Brstimir, Gruby, Hara, Esad1memic, Tarik Novo, arminho, and many others all entered the competition, while some unfamiliar players also showed promising performances.

Like last year Gruby was once again better than Tarik Novo, this time in the fifth round when the former got a win and advanced further in the competition reaching the finals. Hara, his opponent in the finals, is an old A1AL player and he also took down big names such as Esad1memic and arminho. In the grand finals, it was Parla who was better, and in the decider match, he snatched a win on the penalties, making it 2:1 in the overall score.

The match for third place was played between Armin “arminho” Hasanbegovic and Filip “FIFAFICO” Babic, and Fico came out victorious and earned himself 50 points, while Arminho got 40.

The second FIFA23 qualifier is scheduled for next week, April 14th, when the players will fight for even more points and a chance to play with the best regional players. If you still haven’t signed up for it you can do it HERE!

Harmony finally wins the trophy in the A1 Adria League!

On Thursday, April 6th, the first mini-tournament in the 11th season of the A1 Adria League was played. Through this one day, we have seen more than 20 teams compete for the top prize and a trophy in League of Legends. The battle was fierce and we saw some great and exciting games. In the end, the team who climbed all the way to the top and became the champion was Harmony.

Harmony dominated the tournament

After many brilliant performances from Harmony in A1 Adria League, the prize for this team has finally arrived. Harmony is a well-known name in A1AL, and we have seen them compete in the previous two seasons as well. The title was always near, but Harmony couldn’t get it. Twice they reached the grand finals, and twice they were on the verge of winning the whole thing. This year it finally happened, and it was deservedly.

Needless to say, the North Macedonian team was a force to be reckoned with in this tournament. Their first two matches didn’t even last 30 minutes, and their opponents kept surrendering even before losing an inhibitor! Up until the finals Harmony was stomping their opponents in the Bo1 match. In the grand finals, they took on team Elitni Odredi, but they weren’t a problem either, as Harmony became a champion with a 2:0 score.

As a winner Harmony received a 600€ prize, while the runner-up took home 300€. We also had a battle for third place and a 100€ prize between Panda Claus’ Party and SPIRITUAL ZERO – REFORMED, where the latter got the win.

The first mini-tournament is successfully over, but there is no reason to fret, as we have more of these coming soon. The next up is the VALORANT tournament, which will be played next week, April 13th. For Riot’s FPS game, you can sign up HERE!

The winning teams 5 Big guys and NORM TIPS fought their way through different sides of a bracket. The team with Montenegrin core NORM TIPS played the deciding match against Homies in Paris. The best-of-three series ended favoring NORM TIPS, but the duel went to all three maps. On the first map, Oregon, the game went into overtime where NORM TIPS came on top with a final score of 8:6. Hates and HOTASF duo from Homies in Paris had 31 frags combined.
