The third LOL qualifier is over; Fantastic & Mafija Lebrinyja qualify!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the third of four League of Legends qualifiers, Fantastic Esports and Mafija Lebrinyja joined our four already-qualified teams.

A total of 17 teams confirmed their attendance for the third League of Legends qualifier which meanт that the Round of 32 had only one match (Milex21’s party 1 – 0 Team Revenge). In Round 2, Inferal eSports lost to Milex21’s party, but the team’s streak ended in the quarterfinals when they faced Fantastic Esports. The Croatian organization that was a part of the last season managed to advance to the semifinals where they played Dogs unleashed in the decider match. Through TEAM SIGET and G2 Academy v2, respectively, they secured a spot in the duel versus Fantastic which went to all three matches. In the end, however, Fantastic reigned supreme and won the deciding BO3 match.

Devotion and Mafija Lebrinyja fought for the sixth spot in the A1 Adria League. The former advanced at the expense of 30 min team, and later on, Kako god oces, and seemed ready to take the second spot of the day. Further down in the bracket, Mafija Lebrinyja started their journey to the semis by defeating the Macedonian team FunTeam MKD. Their second and simultaneously last opponents before the decider were DARKIC NARKIC. After Fantastic did it a bit earlier, Mafija Lebrinyja also managed to secure a spot in the league.

We officially entered the FIFA SWISS stage! Tarik “amke2001” Novo and three other players claimed victories and have earned their place in the winners’ half of the leaderboard.

The first player on the qualifiers’ leaderboard, amke2001 faced Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar in the first round. The Croatian player won a match against our reigning champion, but amke2001 quickly closed out the game in his favor. Next up, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac and Đorđe “Jasik” Cumbo were set to play a derby and it finished with brstimir on the winning side. With his only match so far being a loss, JasikFIfa joined DrPecho in the 0-1 pool of the SWISS table.
Of our second pair of matches, the one we watched foremost was a clash between Harun “Hara” Parla and Emir “Sulja13” Suljović. Both players left their hearts on the field and gave it their best to win, but Hara was the one that could achieve the victory yesterday. As the qualifier leaderboard seeded Haris “edenn95” Lukomirak and Esad “esad1memic” Memić against each other, the two players were here to close our first day of the regular season. The favorite, esad1memic. came out as the absolute winner of this macthup.

We are happy to announce that Hall of Game powered by A1, the biggest gaming center in Croatia, is now open and available for every gamer in the region.

Hall of Game is located in the recently opened Z Center in Zagreb. The gaming center is a big project that has been in the making for a long time and will be a great place for games from all skill levels to gather together, play, compete and have fun together. Besides the numerous high-end PCs that the gaming center has, there are also other segments dedicated to esport tournaments and streamers, respectively.

When talking about the equipment, a total of 50 PCs are available for the gamers. They each have GeForce RTX 3070Ti graphic cards as well as the newest generation of Intel processors. For FPS players that desperately need a higher refresh-rate on their monitors, the 240Hz Samsung monitors will be the ideal solution to all their problems. You prefer consoles to a PC? Hall of Game has you covered. 11 PlayStation 5s are ready for console gamers who wish to enjoy the newest upcoming titles of the next generation.

Hall of Game

If all of that wasn’t enough to catch your attention, we can also mention that the entire gaming center will be connected to an inner 5G network provided by none other than A1 Hrvatska. Here is what the founder of Hall of Game, Marko Matijević, had to say about the project:

About one million euros have been spent on the entire project so far, all in order to realize the vision of a gaming center in Croatia and beyond. We have provided a space where we will unite the best gamers and give everyone a chance to experience how professional esports players feel. It will be a home to many esport tournaments such as the A1 Adria League, a place for training, gaming events, celebrations, and top entertainment.

Four clean sweeps in the first Brawl Stars round!

/0 Comments/in , /by

A quick playday is behind us, as all four Brawl Stars matches ended with a clean sweep for the favorites.

Our first match of the SWISS stage was between Lightning Strike and BalkanTalents. The former started the string of 3-0’s we saw this playday. Lightning Strike were better than BalkanTalents in every aspect and their opponents were unable to get even a single mode. The qualifier leaderboard leaders, Salada de Frutas, once again affirmed their favorite spot and their victims today were Dominjo carry. It seems like Dominjo wasn’t able to carry anyone and the team is now in the 0-1 pool.

Do you think two sweeps are enough? The other winning teams certainly didn’t think so. Omerta had a great time versus Mayoi and in the final match of the day, Winx Club were quicker to win the three modes than QuickMind and close out the first playday of this season. With these four matches behind us, the favorites have earned their first victories. You can watch this playday below:

These are the Brawl Stars standings after the first round:

Ghisou, Harmony: “Winning the title will be our main goal”

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Macedonian squad Harmony was one of the first four teams to qualify for the A1 Adria League. As we are approaching the beginning of the playoffs, we took the time to contact the team’s captain, Ghisou, and talk about the qualifiers and the upcoming season.

First of all, congratulations on qualifying for this A1 Adria League season. Let’s go back to the first qualifier. How did the match against Metamoon go and what were the main mistakes that caused you to lose this deciding match?

Thank you, the match we played against Metamoon in the first qualifier was not the best for us, we made a lot of individual mistakes in the games we lost and maybe our biggest mistake was the draft we had in those games which made us lose the series 2-1.

You managed to qualify in the second qualifier. How did your game improve this time around? How good was the competition? Was the bracket easier than in the first qualifier or was your team in better form?

In the second qualifier we made a lot better drafts and less mistakes both as individuals and as a team which helped us qualify. About the competition and the bracket, I would say that they were around on the same level as the first qualifier.

Do you prefer this season’s format, which has regional qualifiers, or the one that we used in the previous season, with the national qualifying phase? Why?

I can say that this format is probably better since it allows teams from all countries of this region to try their luck to qualify, while on the other hand the format from the last season was strict on how many teams needed to be registered in the national qualifier in order for a team from that country to be able to compete.

You reached the grand finals in Season 7. Can you repeat the success in this season and even win the title? What are your expectations as a team?

Yes, we managed to reach the finals in Season 7, but we don’t see our grind stopping there. We will try to repeat the success from last season and try to improve it in this season by winning the title as that will be our main goal.

The League of Legends qualifying phase is still going on and our next cup will be played on Saturday. SIGN UP and become one of the next two teams to join the 4.000€ worth eighth season.

Who can stop Salada de Frutas in the Brawl Stars group stage?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Six qualifiers ended and eight teams qualified. Who will be the Brawl Stars squads that will advance to the A1 Adria League playoffs?

Salada de Frutas are a class above the competition!

Salada de Frutas had an absolutely flawless qualifying phase this season. With a total of 410 points and four wins in the six qualifiers, the team had no competition during the qualifiers, with their only loss being a forfeit. We can all judge just how better they are by the number of points they got – 410. That is 110  points more than what our second-placed team earned, Omert4. Third on the leaderboard were BalkanTalents, a Brawl Stars squad that had a great start in the qualifiers but failed to reach any higher on the leaderboard. Winx Club, another team that has been putting up great results since the beginning is tied wti hBalkanTalents

Lightning Strike, Mayoi, QuickMind, and Dominjo carry complete the list

A name already familiar on the scene, Mayoi will be making an appearance in the A1 Adria League this season as well. Here we saw another tie and this time around, Mayoi and QuickMind couldn’t overcome each other and ended up with 130 points each. Lightning Strike are right in front of them with a total of 170 points next to their name. Last but certainly not least, Dominjo carry will be fighting for their spot in the playoffs in the upcoming month of SWISS playdays.

Are you ready for the upcoming FIFA22 season?

After the players fought hard to earn points in the qualifying stage, it is time to commence our next phase in the FIFA League – the SWISS group!

amke2001 dominant in the qualifiers; brstimir finished second

Tarik “amke2001” Novo was the absolute best player in the five qualifiers that we hosted for FIFA players. He won second place in the first and fifth qualifiers, while he triumphed in qualifiers 3 and 4. These results earned him 340 points in total, 150 more than the second-placed player, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac. After his victory in the first qualifier, the Serbian player had a string of mediocre results, except his silver medal in the fourth cup.

With 10 and 20 points less than brstimir, respectively, Harun “Hara” Parla and Haris “edenn95” Lukomirak are the next two players on our leaderboard. While Hara gradually earned points during the entire phase, edenn95 managed to overcome all opponents in the very last qualifier and earn the deciding 100 points. His other points came from qualifiers #2 (20) and #3 (50).

DrPecho qualifies for the eighth season!

Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar claimed the eighth place on our leaderboard and will be making an appearance on his second big tournament in a row, after recently playing the fifth FIFA Adria Prvenstvo season. Besides DrPecho, Đorđe “JasikFifa” Cumbo also secured his spot in the league.

When talking about FIFA Adria Prvenstvo S5, we can also mention that Esad “esad1memic” Memić, the winner of the tournament, qualified for the A1 Adria League once again. With his 160 points, he was tied with another countryman of his, Emir “Sulja13” Suljović.

The final standings of the qualifying stage can be seen below:

FIFA Ranking

Five great qualifiers are now behind us. Along with the qualified players, we must congratulate players such as Stefan “HardiFifa” Stojanov, Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi, Luka “Lux” Rade, and many more for being a part of the A1 Adria League. We are now a step closer to crowning our new champions. A SWISS stage which will be played on the newest edition of FIFA, FIFA22, will determine the four players that will play the final four stage. After the groups come to an end, we are expecting a double-elimination bracket. Will amke2001 keep his title, or will a new player climb on top of the region?

SKUAK and iNation have a great day in the CS:GO league!

/0 Comments/in , /by

With a great CS:GO playday behind us, we can conclude the second SWISS round of the season. This time around, iNation and SKUAK were the triumphant teams.

The first match of the day really couldn’t be any closer. We got to watch three long maps with one of them even going to overtime. iNation and BLUEJAYS started this epic duel on Mirage. During the entire BO3, iNation often found themselves on the losing side, and they couldn’t turn it around on Mirage. BLUEJAYS won the very last round of regulation and closed off the map in their favor. Dust2 somehow managed to be even closer than Mirage. 30 rounds weren’t enough to decide the winner and we continued the duel in overtime.

There, the Serbian powerhouse managed to clinch the victory. Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski’s BLUEJAYS squad suffered an uncomfortable loss but were ready to fight back on Inferno. Unfortunately for the Macedonians, iNation were even more ready to secure their second victory for the season. A 16-14 loss for BLUEJAYS means that they are now tied on the SWISS leaderboard (1-1), while iNation are in the lead (2-0).

Our second match of the day which started off-stream was a clash between SKUAK Gaming and JESTE. As Kujtim “gulito” Durmishi recently stated in one of our articles, JESTE were tough opponents and this match went to the third map as well. This time, though, the matches weren’t really close. JESTE bested the Albanian representatives in the league on Dust2 (16-10), while SKUAK came back with a convincing victory on Inferno (16-6). Our second match for today and the last match of this SWISS round ended with a victory for SKUAK.

 After the conclusion of the second SWISS round, the CS:GO leaderboard looks as follows:

CS:GO SWISS 2-2
