/0 Comments/in , /by

Harmony and 49% winrate managed to triumph in the qualifiers and join Lupus eSports and Metamoon in the upcoming LoL season.

Our second League of Legends qualifier started in the Round of 16. Inferal eSports managed to get a win over Legends, while Harmony outplayed Darkic Narkic. A bit lower in the bracket, Kako god oces scored two victories versus Celijka Mitoza and Water Phoenix Esports and reached the semifinals. There, their final opponents before reaching the A1 Adria League were Harmony. Even though Kako god oces proved to be a challenge for Harmony, the team successfully advanced to the league.

Besides Harmony, our second team to qualify for the eighth season were 49% winrate. A famous name in the region, 49% winrate achieved today’s success at the cost of teams such as Reject, 28 US Marines, and Clouded Leopards Prime. CLP couldn’t defeat 49% winrate but still had a good playday. Names such as Infamous and Delusional randoms lost to them, but the last obstacle was too much for the team. After Lupus and Metamoon also qualified in the first cup, we now have four of the eight required teams to begin our group stage.

Two chances remain for you to become a part of this adventure. Make sure to click HERE to learn more about this season’s format and SIGN UP for the remaining two qualifiers.

OMERT4 conclude the Brawl Stars qualifying stage with a win!

A week later than FIFA, Brawl Stars has also concluded its qualifying phase. Here is what happened in our last qualifier for the season!

BalkanTalentsEsport had a great sixth qualifier. Their first opponents were Ez Clappers, whom BalkanTalentsEsport bested with ease. Next, they faced pop off, another team with a similar number of points. After they won that duel, they were the first team to advance to one of the semifinals, and their final enemies before the grand finals were Dominjo carry. Dominjo carry were ready to make a finals appearance after going throughout the entire qualifier without many problems, but BalkanTalentsEsport stopped them in their tracks.

A thing unseen so far in the eighth season happened today. Salada de Frutas, the absolute favorites of this season, didn’t want to play today and gave free win to Omert4 in the earlier stages of the qualifier. OMERT4 also outplayed Winx Club and Reborn Legends Esports. The final qualifier of this season concluded with a great match between OMERT4 and BalkanTalentsEsport, and together with Inder45, we watched how both teams fought fiercely to get the last 100 points. Omert4 succeeded in defeating BalkanTalentsEsport and claimed the prize in the end.

 

With the qualifying phase coming to an end, we know the eight SWISS stage participants:

Over 35.000kn are up for grabs in the Croatian Red Bull Flick 2021 qualifiers!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Red Bull Flick is back with the second edition of its 2v2 tournament, and once again, Croatian players will be able to compete and play against the very best players.

Red Bull Flick 2021 brings a unique format!

We are used to watching Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments featuring the standard Bomb Defusal mode. So just the fact that Red Bull Flick is a 2v2 tournament makes it unique by itself, but there is much more behind this competition. Namely, duos from all over the world will participate in national and regional qualifiers to earn a spot in the main event which will be held in Helsinki and has a prize pool of 50.000€. The eight maps featured in this tournament have been designed by Red Bull just for this mode, which means that the quality is of the highest level.

The format of Red Bull Flick 2021 will be a modified team-deathmatch which will see teams try to remain on the leaderboard longer than their opponents. Both teams start the match with 100 points each, and the points gradually decrease over time. For every kill over an enemy player, the opposing team loses a point. However, the main way of deducting enemy points is holding capture points – while a player stands on a capture point, their team won’t lose points, while the opposing team will.

How can Croatian players participate?

Croatian players will once again be able to be a part of this Red Bull Flick adventure. The journey starts with the national qualifiers which will culminate in a LAN environment. Falkensteiner hotel in Zadar will host the 2v2 finals which are set to feature four duos. The team that outplays the competition on the 10th of October will be the Croatian representatives for this iteration of the tournament. The next step of the road to Helsinki will be the regional qualifiers and if our players manage to qualify for the main event, they will play against professional as well as qualified players from all over the world in Helsinki. While the 50.000€ prize pool for the main event is awesome by itself, the generous partners of Red Bull Flick in Croatia have dedicated incredible awards for the national qualifiers as well.

1. 15.000kn – powered by A1 Hrvatska
2x 2 Falkensteiner hotel nights i Spa Ladera half board + 2x lunch in Break Point
 2x ESHARK ESL-GC3 TOKUGAWA gaming chair

2. 10.000kn – powered by A1 Hrvatska

This week in A1AL: Brawl Stars is nearing the group stage!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Since FIFA finished its qualifying phase last week, this week of A1 Adria League will be dedicated to Brawl Stars, CS:GO, and League of Legends.

Brawl Stars

FIFA’s qualifiers came to an end and Brawl Stars is quickly catching up. Now is your last chance to sign up and compete for a spot in the Brawl Stars group stage. Since they started participating in this season’s qualifiers, Salada de Frutas have won every single one of them and are now comfortably in the lead with 400 points. The second-placed team has half as much, and that team is Omert4. A lot can change in this sixth qualifier, as the lower-ranked teams are separated by a small margin of points. When we announce the eight qualified teams, the SWISS stage will commence.

Until then, SIGN UP for the sixth qualifier, or click HERE to read everything you need to know about this season of Brawl Stars. You can also check the current Brawl Stars standings.

League of Legends

Lupus eSports and Metamoon managed to outplay their opponents in the single-elimination qualifier and become the first two teams in this A1 Adria League season. The cup was filled with great teams from all over the region. Names like Harmony and Split Raiders, who also took part in the seventh season, competed in this qualifier but missed the chance to qualify. On Saturday, you can also try your best to compete for the €4.000 prize pool. Three qualifiers remain, and six spots are yet to be filled out.

CS:GO

Another CS:GO playday is behind us, and what a playday it was. Even though Young Glorians put up a great fight, Marten Gaming comfortably closed out the game 2-0. The real spectacle happened between PORTUGAL and 4glory, with the former winning the BO3 series on Overpass, probably the least played map in the league. Two awesome duels are scheduled to be played on Sunday. JESTE will face the Albanian team SKUAK, while iNation and BLUEJAYS will clash spears in the second series of the day.

This week, we decided to contact Kujtim “gulito” Durmishi, the new SKUAK IGL. gulito talked about his experience in the A1 Adria League as well as the first round of the SWISS stage:

I’ve been playing A1 Adria League for around 3 years, I feel bad that I couldn’t enjoy any trophy for it , but I gained great experience during that time that I participated in A1 Adria League. Anyway we’re still in the tournament with SKUAK and we’ll try our best to make it out to playoffs first and then win it all the way.

About match vs JESTE, I’m thinking that one will be kinda hard, but with the way practice is going for us, it is gonna be a win, they’re strong opponents but we gonna try our best. About the Round 1 match vs iNation we had so many individual mistakes, but we have worked around that and we have prepared so that mistakes like that they don’t happen again, and for the limited time we have had for practice, that’s perfect.

PORTUGAL enter the 2-0 bracket; Marten Gaming earn their first victory!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Marten Gaming, PORTUGAL, and both 4glory squads battled it out in the first playday of our second SWISS round for the season.

Whereas all our matches last Sunday went to three maps, this wasn’t the case today. Safet “giGOD” Čurić and Marten Gaming suceeded in defeating Young Glorians in two maps, Inferno and Mirage. And while we didn’t see a third map, that isn’t to say that the matches weren’t filled with awesome rounds all along. The match on Inferno was a bit shorter than the second one and ended 16-12 in favor of Marten Gaming. Both squads weren’t able to finish the game in regulation on Mirage, so the winner was decided in overtime. A 19-16 victory for Marten secured them their first map after an unusual loss against PORTUGAL in the first round of the season.

When talking about PORTUGAL, it is worth mentioning that their form today was as well last week as it was today. Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and 4glory achieved a dominant win on Inferno, and the Macedonian-majority quintet couldn’t win 10 rounds. dEE’s AWP was absolutely deadly on Mirage as well. 4glory won 10 rounds on the T side and kept their great performance in the second half as well. Andrej “Necrogenes1s” Mancheski tried his best to keep PORTUGAL alive in the game and together with Anel “NENO” Ceković, they achieved just that. After a successful comeback attempt, PORTUGAL closed out the map in their favor and we had the chance to watch Overpass again after a very long time. PORTUGAL won Overpass and became the first team to enter the 2-0 SWISS pool.

With the first half of the second SWISS round behind us, these are the current CS:GO standings:

Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi was better than Batiii and Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar in the first rounds of today’s bracket. His opponent in the semifinals was edenn95 who surprisedly managed to upset Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac in the first round. The player also defeated Luka “Lux” Rade, and finally bested Sardinho in the semifinals.

The qualifying cycle for League of Legends began today. A total of 16 teams met in a single-elimination bracket to fight for the two available spots in the league. After defeating Golden Killer 33 in the first round, Lupus eSports showed that they are better than Taihaku as well and advanced to the semifinals. The first semifinal spot in the upper half of the bracket went ot Metamoon who reached this stage over Clouded Leopards Prime and CATCH THE PIGEON. Their opponents were Harmony, a team that eliminated Split Raiders in the initial round of this qualifier. The other semifinal match was played out between Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party.

Both decider matches were intense duels that saw the best teams win. After two games, Metamoon and Harmony were ready to decide the winner of this semifinal match. That title went to Metamoon, who fought greatly and deservedly snapped the spot. Actually, the second semifinal came to an end first. Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party also played all three games in the semifinals, but Lupus eSports managed to secure their victory a bit earlier than Metamoon.

Can anybody stop Salada de Frutas’ reign?!

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the fourth consecutive time this season, Salada de Frutas have won the regional qualifier and earned another 100 points on the leaderboard.

Since they started participating in the qualifiers, Salada de Frutas have yet to be defeated. This qualifier, their road to the finals started in the second round where they met last week’s runner-ups, Interventna. It was as if the bracket was purposedly made to make Salada de Frutas playday as hard as possible. Their next opponents were Winx Club, the second-placed team on the leaderboard, while in the semifinals they met Omert4, who are currently third.

Dominjo carry and BalkanTalentsEsport were the two main candidates for the second finals spot. Dominjo carry were better than Reborn Legends Esports and QuickMind, but failed to pass their last challenge before the finals. They were defeated by BalkanTalentsEsport. The latter had a good run against teams such as Twisted Mind, Omerta Blue, and finally Dominjo carry. Salada de Frutas had no problems this time either and easily closed out the final match in their favor.

“I am really satisfied by the tournament so far, a lot of players are signing up to play and there are also a lot of players that can be tough to play against. It wasn’t easy to qualify in the top 8, but with my will and persistence, I achieved the result that I wanted to achieve since the first qualifier. Everything is on the table in the next round as we are transferring to a new game and getting used to the new meta will influence the results.

26.09.2021 – SWISS Round 2-1

Marten Gaming vs.  Young Glorians
rs 4glory vs. PORTUGAL

The Macedonian teams begin the season with a win!

/0 Comments/in , /by

PORTUGAL and BLUEJAYS have outplayed Marten Gaming and JESTE, respectively, in our second Round 1 playday.

Our first match was a real spectacle. Rescheduled to 13:00 as Marten Gaming had the finals of the CS:GO BIH League later today, PORTUGAL vs. Marten Gaming started off the day with a blast. Anel “NENO” Ceković and his team dominated Marten in the first half of Mirage, Marten’s map pick, having a nine-round streak before their opponents could win one round. The half ended 11-4 in favor of PORTUGAL, but what happened next was miraculous. An absolutely perfect T side from  Petar “HOLMES” Dimitrijević’s new team secured them every single round of the second half, along with the entire map (16-11).

On Vertigo, PORTUGAL was the team that managed to do a comeback, although this one was of smaller proportions. After losing the first stages of the game 5-1, the Macedonian team won the half 9-6. Marten took the lead on the T side again, but PORTUGAL weren’t ready to lose yet another lead. They gave it their best and closed off Vertigo 16-14. Just like their T side on Mirage, PORTUGAL’s Nuke T side was brilliant. Dejan “Katalic” Koprivica & co. won only four rounds on their CT side. Marten had a good run in the second half, but Alexander “br0” Bro successfully lead his team to victory in the final map.

Our second duel of the day wasn’t short of surprises either. We watched Vertigo once again, but the course of this match was vastly different than the previous one. Where both teams dominated halves in our first match, this time, both JESTE and BLUEJAYS kept winning rounds and kept the game tied the entire time. In the end, we went to overtime and Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski and BLUEJAYS won Vertigo. Inferno was no different. BLUEJAYS reached 15 first but were unable to finish the game in regulation. We watched overtime again, and this time, the winning team was JESTE.

The final map of the day was Mirage. Even though both teams were exhausted from the previous two maps, we still watched a great game. We watched overtime for the third time, with BLUEJAYS taking the final map in their favor. You can watch today’s playday below:
