/0 Comments/in , , /by

The best regional Brawlers will once again compete in the international event Clash of Leagues hosted by A1 which will take place at LEVEL UP – The Gaming Festival in Salzburg, Austria. Competing against the best Brawlers from Central and Eastern Europe is a great honor and opportunity. Especially at an event!

Lavvek, Adry, Andrey, and DzonDzon raised the bar high

Last year we saw Lavvek, Adry, Andrey, and DzonDzon make it to the semifinals of the LAN event. They lost to SK Gaming, the team that won the whole event. It was a great representation of the A1 Adria League and the whole region. “I think we put up a good fight against one of the best Brawl Stars teams in the world and that is a great experience which we’ll take back to the new A1 Adria League season”, said Adry back then. Can their result be bested? That we’ll find out this summer.

Ivas: We always do our best in both European and regional tournaments

/0 Comments/in , /by

The last rotating game finished last weekend. The PUBG tournament in A1 Adria League went into the hands of a well-known team Entropiq, as was expected. We talked with one of the members of this team Jurica “ivas” Baronić about his experience in A1AL, PCS 6, and their future plans.

Congratulations on winning the title. What does it feel like to be the first champion of the PUBG tournament in the A1 Adria League?

It’s always a good feeling winning the first place, especially now because we played with a mixed roster and we didn’t even have two first-team members.

What were your expectations before the tournament and what other team played the best in your opinion?

Winning the title was expected, we always give our best to show what we can do whether it’s in the big European or regional tournament. The team that played the best was definitely Mforce.

This season we have seven games instead of four, from which three lasted two weekends, including PUBG. What do you think of this new format in A1AL?

It’s a great thing you did, adding PUBG as one of the titles in the A1 Adria League. Every new tournament is more than welcome.

Recently you won PCS 6 Europe. Did you expect to win that title and what did it feel like to overcome all the European teams and bring home the title?

We believed we have enough quality to make a great success and result. This is one of the biggest achievements for our regional esports scene. Winning the PCS 6 was the result of a two-year tough work, and becoming the champion of Europe against organizations such as FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, NAVI, Heroic, and others is indescribable.

Do you expect to qualify for Global Championship 2022, since you made a large number of points by winning PCS 6?

At the moment we are first with 475 PGC points. If we look at the statistics we have a 97% chance to qualify for PUBG Global Championship 2022. Our focus is to be prepared for every upcoming tournament and be ready for the world championship that will be held at the end of the year.

What are your plans after this tournament?

Our plan is to continue with a series of good results. There may be a new Entropiq bootcamp planning, but for more juicy details make sure to follow our socials!

Zero Tenacity eliminated 4glory and secured the last spot in the top 4!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The last match of the CS:GO group stage finished last night, and we have gotten the last team in the A1 Adria League playoffs. The last spot for a chance to fight for the title went into the hands of Zero Tenacity who against all odds eliminated 4glory.

Zero Tenacity upset 4glory

As a reminder of how great this victory was, Z10 fought their way here throughout the A1AL qualifiers, while 4glory was one of the invited squads. In the end, it was Zero Tenacity who with a 2:1 score came out victorious and advanced further in the competition.

On Mirage, 4glory was the better squad. The match suffices to say, started heavily in their favor with a 12:4 score. c0llins was the best player on the Serbian squad with 20 kills in the first 15 rounds. However, the second half saw Z10 make a comeback. 4glory struggled to end the map in their favor, and they managed to do it but it wasn’t an easy task. In the end, Mirage ended with a 16:11 score.

The second game was played on Dust2 and it was a real nail-biter. Each team was eager to secure this map, and the first half ended with a 7:8 score for 4glory. The second half wasn’t so different as we reached an even score of 14:14 before the decider round. In the end, Zero Tenacity won the last two rounds, so the map didn’t go to overtime, and Z10 evens the overall score to 1:1. Kinnd0 from 4g and Katalić from Z10 had the same amount of kills (25), which shows how close the second match was.

The third and deciding match was played on Nuke where Z10 had a great start on the CT side with an 11:4 score. But seeing that Nuke is a heavily CT-oriented map, there was still a chance for 4glory to make a comeback, and that’s what everyone has been expecting with the change of sides. This team managed to secure 5 straight rounds, but it wasn’t enough as Zero Tenacity won the remaining rounds and secured the playoffs.

Zero Tenacity will now join BLUEJAYS, Blink, and Oto100 in a battle for the title of the best CS:GO team in the region.

Entropiq is the first PUBG champion in A1AL!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The last rotating game in this season’s A1 Adria League is behind us. PUBG competition was the last out of the league’s four new games we implemented. As expected, the first PUBG tournament winner was no other than Entropiq.

Entropiq dominated the playoffs

Many teams competed yesterday on as many as five maps. As the fans could have seen two games were played on Miramar, and three on Erangel. Entropiq was a big favorite ever since the competition had started, and they justified that role last night in the PUBG playoffs.

The first map went into the hands of Entropiq as expected, while Mforce who was the most formidable opponent next to Entropiq finished the map in the third place. On the first map, the champions secured 17 kills which brought them 27 points. The second map was a peculiar one. We have seen only two kills from Reroot Gaming on the whole map, and those kills were for the win. Namely, two members of Reroot Gaming St1p1 and Velehos were left against ivas from Entropiq and Cro_L1DeRsrb_Ba from Sneaky Foxes. They managed to kill them and take the map for themselves.

The third and fifth maps also belonged to Entropiq, who secured 14 kills in each of them. The fourth map however went into the hand of an underdog team Fouward. In this map, our champions had only 5 kills, which was unusual for them.

In the end, all the wins last night, secured the Entropiq first place and gave them a great lead over the second-placed Mforce, with whom they also fought for the first place last weekend. The overall score for Entropiq in this tournament was 107 kills and 171 points. And after PCS 6 Europe, yet another, smaller tournament, respectively, was secured by this team. They now go home with the first PUBG A1 Adria League title and a 700€ prize. Congratulations!

 

Brstimir defeats Jero and advances to the FIFA22 playoffs!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yet another FIFA22 round is behind us. Some great matches have been played last night, and we have seen an intense and fierce competition. A1 Adria League is continuing to host this game, and every year more and more talented players are showing what they can do in this competition. After Mrky, another player makes the cut and secures the playoff. brstimir with an overall score of 3:1 is now safe in the top 4.

brstimir expectedly joins Mrky in the playoffs

The first match of this round was played between our three-time champion Novo and esad1memic. They are both familiar players and they have faced each other too many times now. Novo seemed to find a way to adapt to the new playstyle of his opponent quicker, and without much problem he easily outclassed Esad. Winning 2-0 in the first match, and filling Esad’s net to the top in the second match with 4-0 as a final result. Both players are set to find their way to the final 4 next week since they both stand at a 2-2 score now.

The second match was a fight for survival in the league. Both JasikFIFA and DrPecho had the same score of 1:2 and a win here meant everything. Pecho kept his cool all the time, and he even almost walked the ball into the net of his opponent a few times. In the end, he secured himself another appearance on our stream next week where he will face Novo for a final chance to sneak into the top 4. On the other side, this is where we say goodbye to Jasik who is eliminated from the competition.

brstimir in the last match of the day showed he deserved the spot in the playoffs since the competition started. Before Mrky took him down last round, he hadn’t lost a game. And now with a win over Jero, he got what he rightfully deserved. Is this his season maybe? He seems very confident with a playstyle that differs from all the other players, with abusing player lock and the newest meta techniques that are very hard to master. On the other side, Jero will also have one more chance next week. If he manages to secure the spot in the playoffs it will be his first ever in the A1 Adria League.

As expected Salada de Frutas secures the playoff!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last night another round of the Brawl Stars tournament in our A1 Adria League was played. This round was important, seeing that we said goodbye to one team, and one secured the first spot in the next stage of the competition. It was Salada de Frutas, the defending champion that managed to sweep Big F and secure the playoff. On the other hand, Skeleton Army is the first team that was eliminated last night.

Salada de Frutas justified the role of favorite

We had the overall of 4 matchups yesterday. The first was played between You Lose and DOGS. Both had a 1:1 score before this duel and now You Lose has an advantage. Namely, they defeated their opponent with a 3:1 score. You Lose will play next round to qualify for playoffs, while DOGS will need a win to stay in the league.

The second match was between the teams in the same situation. Both Jazavci and BalkanKids had a 1:1 score, but after 5 games it was Jazavci who came on top and secured themselves a good position. Both teams rotated their picks during the games and played for the element of surprise. As they both took 2 maps, the fifth was deciding and it was LordTodor who took Jazavci to victory.

The last two matches of the day were played for the playoff, and for staying in the league. The match between 33 Esports and Skeleton Army was the one for staying in the league. And the team that stayed was 33, again with an automatic win because Skeleton Army couldn’t find a sub. They are now with a 0:3 score eliminated from A1AL.

The last match was all everyone has been waiting for. Two top teams fighting for the first spot in the playoff stage of the Brawl Stars competition. Salada de Frutas and Big F both had no losses in the last two rounds. Salada was a huge favorite seeing that they are the defending champions. They proved that they are here to take yet another title with a clean 3:0 win over Big F. They didn’t let their opponent breathe, it was the fastest match played, and Big F didn’t manage to get a single set in either of the three games played last night. However, they are still looking good, while Salada de Frutas can now rest and wait for their opponents in the playoffs.

 

Oto100 upsets Z10 and advances to playoff!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another exciting day for CS:GO fans. After intense three maps, we have gotten yet another team that secures their spot in the playoff stage in A1 Adria League. Oto100 joins BLUEJAYS and Blink as the third team in the top 4.

Underdog Oto100 surprised

Last night only one match was played, but it was a biggie. The best-of-three duel between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity went into the hands of the former team who now secured the next stage in the league. Both teams had the same score before this duel, 2:1. This match meant the winner will go to join BLUEJAYS and Blink who already secured the playoff. In the end, Oto100 surprised everyone with their extraordinary performance and with a 2:1 score is now safe in the top 4.

Even though the first map, Inferno, went into the hands of Zero Tenacity, they lost the next two. In the first map for Z10 the best player was Katalić who had 25 frags and carried his team. However he lost focus and underperformed in the last two maps, and it lead to his team losing the match.

On the second map Mirage, we have seen a big comeback from Oto100. Z10 started good on this map and had a big lead, but their opponent managed to come back and the game went into overtime. There Oto100 came on top with Xicoz as the best player. The deciding game was played on Nuke and it was a clear win for Oto100. Z10 totally failed on the third map and eventually Oto with the 16:10 score won the series.

Zero Tenacity has one more chance to secure the playoffs, but it will be a hard task seeing their opponent will be 4glory. This matchup is the last of the group stage, and only one team can move forward!

 

Mrky is the first player to secure the playoffs!

After a short delay in our matchups, the third round of FIFA22 is finally finished. We have already seen some players put themselves in a great position before the playoffs. And now we have our first FIFA22 player who will advance to the next round, i.e playoffs. Mrky in the third round managed to defeat brstimir and secure the first spot in the top 4.

Mrky takes down brstimir

The first match of the third round of FIFA22 in A1 Adria League was played between esad1memic and DrPecho. Before this duel, both players had a 1:1 score, and this match was significant for both of them. In the end, Esad came out victorious with a 2:0 win, and secured himself a better position in the league, while DrPecho fell down on the table. However, he still has a fair chance to make it to the playoffs.

The same case was in the second matchup between Jero and JasikFIFA who had 1:1 scores before this game. JasikFIFA is a familiar name in A1AL seeing that he almost won the championship in season 5. The season 5 vice-champion took on the rookie of the league, but Jero was the one who got this win. With a 2:1 score, he is now looking good on the table.

Maybe the most important match of this round was between Mrky and brstimir. They both needed only one win to secure the playoffs. But in the end, it was Mrky who did it. Brstimir showed great performance so far and it’s not gonna be a surprise if he soon joins Mrky in the next stage of the competition. Now Mrky without a single loss will advance to the playoffs where he will wait for his opponents.

In the last match of this round, our three-time champion Novo had a match against Encika. Novo didn’t manage to get a single win in the last two rounds, and this is a very disappointing performance from him. Now with Encika surrendering, he got an automatic win, and now maybe has a chance of moving forwards. Encika with this defeat is the first player we say goodbye to.

The next round will be played in two days, and the competition has never been closer. Stay with us to find out who will join Mrky in the playoff stage.

Blink advances to the playoff stage with the win over XTEAM!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The group stage of CS:GO competition in the A1 Adria League is soon coming to an end. Last night the fourth round began and we have already seen two teams get eliminated, while one advanced to the next stage of the tournament. Blink is the second team to secure their spot in the playoff, while two more teams after ghoulsW left the league.

Blink joins BLUEJAYS in the playoffs

Yesterday we have seen two Bo3 matches. The first was between 4glory and Monad eSport, and they played all three maps. Both of these teams before this duel had the same score of 1:2 so this match decided who will stay in the league. 4glory in the end came on top, won the first and third match on Inferno and Dust2, while aVN had the most frags in the whole series, 58 overall.  Monad had a great run and showed decent performance, their main player in this duel was PTKKK who secured them the win on Vertigo, but it still wasn’t enough. They didn’t stand a chance on the third map and are now leaving the A1AL.

The second match of the day was played between Blink and XTEAM. Seeing as Blink had a 2:1 score, and XTEAM had 1:2, these teams fought for different things. Blink needed the win to advance to the playoffs, while XTEAM hoped to stay in the league. Unfortunately for XTEAM, Blink was the one who in the end came out victorious and advanced to the next stage. They are the second team to do that, right after BLUEJAYS.

Things were looking good for XTEAM at the beginning. They won the first match on Ancient, which was in fact Blink’s pick, and it seemed like it would be an easy 2:0 win for Gejmzilla’s squad since the second map was their pick. However, Blink managed to pull a comeback on Vertigo and make sure the game would go to all three maps. Inferno went into overtime, but in the end, with 19:16 gulito’s Blink defeated the opponent. XTEAM is the third team to be eliminated so far.

On Saturday another exciting Bo3 duel is waiting for you. Don’t miss the action between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity!

CSGO round 4 standings

 

The biggest favorites for winning the PUBG championship are Entropiq and Mfroce!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The last rotating game in the ninth season of the A1 Adria League is PUBG. Last night we have seen 19 teams compete for the highest number of points. Seeing as we had this many teams they all automatically secured their spot in the playoff which will be played next Saturday, or May 28th.

Entropiq and Mforce at the top of the table

Last night we have seen the overall five maps which were played, as well as it will be next week. The biggest favorite before the competition started was of course Entropiq. This team is a well-known PUBG name in the region and in the world. Recently they won the sixth PUBG Continental Series tournament for Europe. And even though in A1 Adria League this team didn’t come with completely the same roster, the core and heart of the team are still there. Entropiq was dominant on the first two maps, which they won.

The third map went into the hands of the team TaTu HuniEs, while the victorious team on the last two maps was Mforce. Up until the last map, Entropiq was in first place on the table with the highest number of points. However, after the fifth map was over they had fallen to second place while Mforce took the lead. Mforce secured the top of the table with 47 kills and 83 points, while Entropiq sits in second place with 43 kills and 68 points. The most valuable player that can be singled out was Entropiq’s CROMAN86 who had an amazing performance throughout all five maps.

Next week we can expect a fierce fight from these teams when the best regional PUBG squad will take home the prize and the prestige title. Some of the other teams who still have a chance for the title and are the favorites are TaTu HuniEs, Sneaky Foxes, and Replay, besides the two mentioned above.

Top 5 PUBG teams after the qualifier:

  1. Mforce (47 kills, 83 points)
  2. Entropiq (43 kills, 68 points)
  3. TaTu HuniEs (39 kills, 56 points)
  4. Sneaky Foxes (25 kills, 47 points)
  5. Replay (26 kills, 45 points)
