iNation and 4glory triumph in the first CS:GO playday!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the SWISS stage debut for this season, iNation outplayed SKUAK, while 4glory defeated the second squad of their organization, Young Glorians.

Seeing as CS:GO ended its qualifying phase first, it was only natural for Valve’s FPS to enter the SWISS stage before our other titles. A long season is ahead of us. Every match in the SWISS stage will be played as a BO3 and only the very best will advance to the playoffs. Today, two of the four Round 1 matches were played out. iNation made their debut in the League in the first match of the eighth season. Their opponents were SKUAK, the only Albanian squad currently competing in the A1 Adria League. We watched two close maps and in the end, the Serbian powerhouse came out as the winners of this duel. Both Ancient and Dust2 ended after more than 25 rounds, and iNation deservedly earned their first point of the season.

4glory and Young Glorians started off on Nuke. While everyone expected 4glory to have an easy time against their juniors, Young Glorians had an amazing showing on the map. The match went to overtime, but in the end, 4glory’s experience reigned supreme and Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and his team closed off the first map with a victory. Inferno’s first half, however, was a whole other story. 4glory absolutely dominated their opponents in the first round, but later on, Young Glorians took the lead. Once again, the entire map was a nail-biter, once again, we reached overtime, and once again, 4glory defeated Young Glorians.

 

 

amke2001 outplays his Bosnian rival esad1memic in the finals!

/0 Comments/in , /by

With this third FIFA qualifier coming to an end, only two more separate us from the beginning of this season’s SWISS stage.

Esad “esad1memic” Memić began the long road towards the grand finals in the Round of 16 where he bested freezing gambler. His next opponent, Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi was in great shape after defeating Aleksandar “Zli Duh” Blaževski, but esad1memic had no trouble in defeating the Slovenian player. Next up, Esad faced a new name with the nickname lala13_13. lala13_13 won matches versus Stefan “StojanovFIFA” Stojanov and Luka Bukal before the semifinals and he had good chances against the Bosnian veteran. However, Esad didn’t let his opponent upset him and easily secured his spot in the finals.

Tarik “amke2001” Novo, our back-to-back FIFA champion, was the most successful player in the upper half of today’s bracket. His FIFA squad defeated various opponents throughout the bracket, including Hrvoje “HRVoje-1995” Čleković and Emir “Sulja” Suljović. His semifinal opponent was Harun “Hara” Parla, who had the same amount of points as amke2001 before the conclusion of this qualifier. Aydin_kmetas, Vukovarac999 and TopBoyFifa were eliminated by Hara today, but his streak came to an end after suffering a 0-2 defeat to amke.

Despite being one of the best players in the region, amke2001 and esad1memic didn’t manage to earn the main prize in our previous two qualifiers. This time, one of them finally had the chance to finish on top, and amke2001 made sure to do everything in his power to become that player. The third place this week went to lala13_13, while Hara finished in fourth.

Salada de Frutas take the lead after two wins in a row!

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the second time in as many playdays, Salada de Frutas destroyed everyone and claimed first place in our Brawl Stars qualifier of the week.

Half of our qualifiers are now finished. Today, the Brawl Stars players that have been eagerly awaiting the beginning of our new qualifiers jumped into the arenas to earn more points. We are slowly forming our leaderboard, with teams such as Salada de Frutas, Mayoi, and Winx Club slowly confirming their spot in the league. Lightning Strike also had a good day in this qualifier, but their victory celebrations after the match against Immortal Balkans were quickly shut down by Salada de Frutas. Last qualifier’s winners paved their way to yet another grand final appearance after winning their matches versus Night Alpha, Twisted Mind, the aforementioned Lightning Strike squad, and finally Mayoi.

On the other side of the bracket, QuickMind did even better than in the first qualifier. They went all the way to the semifinals, but Winx Club were there to stop them in their tracks. The two semifinal matches ended in favor of Salada de Frutas and Winx Club. The former defeated Mayoi with a dominant 3-0 final scoreline, and the same thing happened in the second semifinal match of the day. Finally, the grand final was played out. Salada de Frutas faced Winx Club, and they managed to hold their ground once again. One more 3-0 win put another 100 points in the bag for the squad, and they are now leading the Brawl Stars battle.

Three teams are currently fighting for the first spot, which is now occupied by Omert4. They have 120 points, while Lightning Strike and Salada de Frutas have 100 points each. The third qualifier that will be played this Thursday will decide a lot of things. Will one of these teams increase their lead on the leaderboard, or will a new name take the first place. With Mayoi and Winx Club owning 70 points, it is entirely possible to see a major turnaround on the table by the end of our third playday.

The only individual title for the season, FIFA, completed the second qualifier with a blast. Đorđe “Jasik” Cumbo made a great return to the A1 Adria League stadiums by winning the qualifier over Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar. The latter is an up-and-coming name on the scene, and after recently qualifying for the FIFA21 Adria Prvenstvo tournament, he is here to make sure he becomes a part of A1 Adria League’s story as well. We have a total of four players with 70 points, while the top two spots are tied between Jasik and Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac, who both have 110 points so far.

CS:GO

It wasn’t until this Sunday that we got to know the names of all eight CS:GO teams for this season. AIRLYA, Young Glorians and SKUAK Gaming filled our three vacant spots and now we are ready to begin with the SWISS phase of our league. Besides the three aforementioned teams, we will get the chance to watch five more teams compete for the €5.000 prize pool. The invited teams, PORTUGAL and 4glory, will be joined by some familiar names. Namely, Marko “Maki” Mijatović and Marten Gaming, the new iNation squad as well as JESTE will play on our servers in the upcoming months.

We also took the time to talk to one of the qualified players. Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski from AIRLYA shared a short statement about the recent qualifiers and the team’s expectations for the league:

“We played out the qualifiers pretty good, without many hardships. But, of course, we are always looking to improve in every aspect and to fix our mistakes. We are expecting to finally win first place this season after fighting for it for more than a year. Our biggest rivals for the season will be our frequent opponents 4glory, Marten Gaming, and iNation. We play against them often and I am sure that we know how to counter them now. As I said, we are expecting an intense league with a lot of interesting matches and us ending on the very top.”

SKUAK, AIRLYA, and Young Glorians finalize CS:GO’s teams list!

/0 Comments/in , /by

With our second pair of qualifiers behind us, we have completed the CS:GO teams list for the eighth A1 Adria League season!

18 teams tried to secure the eight closed-qualifier spots yesterday. The second round was the deciding one this time around. Filip “MUFFY” Cvetić and endusty convincingly beat Defektasi 2-0 to join the qualified teams. Right next to them in the bracket, the second 4glory squad, Young Glorians, were better than Adonis “adon1s” Gashi and ELITE. SKUAK Gaming had no problems in their BO3 versus DONDA, and nije dolazio defeated Mario “Mariuchii” Grdović and KolindaVratiSe after a tough 2-1 marathon.

The best Macedonian team, AIRLYA, faced NoWin in their decider match. Daniel “dan1” Gligorov & co. didn’t let the opposing team upset them and closed out the game after only two maps. Sinking Ship did the same against 4glory Youngest, the second squad that the Serbian organization featured in this qualifier. The last two teams to qualify were SENKE and CKUKO, who did so over Team From Hell and Beograd Gaming, respectively.

CS:GO Teams Q2

After an intense open qualifier, the aforementioned eight teams joined the single-elimination BO3 bracket to fight for the last three spots in the league. Kujtim “gulito-“ Durmishi and SKUAK Gaming achieved the first victory in this phase of the qualifiers. Their opponents were Luka “brky” Brkanac’s CKUKO who suffered a 2-0 loss in this match. Next up, AIRLYA advanced to the semifinals after being the better team in their match versus nije dolazio. SKUAK and AIRLYA were joined by Young Glorians and SENKE, respectively.

Young Glorians proved to be tough opponents for the Albanian team SKUAK. Even though they gave it their best, this deciding BO3 match ended in favor of SKUAK Gaming. The second semifinal ended after two maps, with AIRLYA coming out as the winners. With these two matches completed, we got two of the three qualified teams. What remained was the third-place decider between SENKE and Young Glorians. This final match of this season’s CS:GO qualifiers ended up in a victory for Young Glorians – our last team to join the league.

 

Teams Q2

Jasik earns 100 points after defeating Pecho in this FIFA qualifier!

/0 Comments/in , /by

After Salada de Frudas dominated Brawl Stars on Thursday, today we got our second FIFA winner of the season – Đorđe “JasikFIFA” Cumbo.

FIFA was off to a great start since the very first round. Namely, Stjepan “Brstylo” Brstilo eliminated our reigning back-to-back champion, Tarik “amke2001” Novo, in Round 1, denying him from winning any points in this qualifier. Just a round later, another veteran fell. This time, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac, the player who triumphed in the first qualifier, was too weak to stand up to Emir “Sulja” Suljović. Stefan “StojanovFIFA” Stojanov had to face a couple of tough opponents before reaching the finals. He bested HRVoje-1995 in Round 1, Zli Duh in Round 2, and Jelusic90 in the quarterfinals before losing to Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar in the semifinals.

Sulja had a similar road to the third-place decider. He managed to outplay brstimir and Esad “esad1memic” Memić before ultimately losing to JasikFIFA in the semis. The latter, a name that we haven’t heard in a long time secured his final spot against DrPecho after a great performance in our second qualifier of the season. StojanovFIFA was better than Sulja in the third-place decider, while a 2-1 victory secured JasikFIFA 100 points over DrPecho.

You can check out the current FIFA standings below. The third qualifier will be played out next Saturday – hurry up and SIGN UP!

FIFA Q2

We present to you the two invited CS:GO teams!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Before the start of the second qualifier, it is time to reveal the two invited sides for the eighth A1 Adria League season – 4glory and PORTUGAL.

Last weekend, three teams secured their spots in the upcoming SWISS phase of this season. The former Anlaki players, which have now taken on the legendary name iNation by signing contracts with the organization, managed to be the first team to qualify for the league. Marten Gaming and JESTE followed, and along with the invited teams, we already have five squads in the A1 Adria League.

4glory

4glory finished the seventh season in fourth place, behind Good Game, PORTUGAL, and ONYX. Since then, they have continuously improved and achieved good results, including a first-place finish in the Esport Adria Championship Season 5. Now, Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and his team will try to improve their result from the previous season and take the title in the A1 Adria League. As ONYX now have their focus on the international scene, we decided that 4glory would be the ideal candidates for one of our invites. 4glory will feature the following lineup in the A1 Adria League:

Rs Luka “c0llins” Živanović
Rs Vladan “Kind0” Mandić
Rs Miloš “dEE” Marčeta
 Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac
Rs Filip “aVN” Belojica

PORTUGAL

The Macedonian-majority mix team that seemingly appeared out of nowhere during the last season managed to reach the grand finals of the League. Andrej “Necrogenes1s” Mancheski and the rest of the team won the Macedonian derby against their rivals, Good Game (now AIRLYA), and advanced to the finals where they met ONYX. While ONYX dominated their opponents on Dust2 with a 16-2 win, PORTUGAL took Train to overtime but that simply wasn’t enough. PORTUGAL will field the following team last season:

Blaže “HEv1X” Hristov
Andrej “Necrogenes1s” Mancheski
Zoran “xicoz” Markovski
Anel “NENO” Ceković
Alexander “br0” Bro

The last CS:GO qualifier will be played out this weekend. SIGN UP and join 4glory, PORTUGAL and the remaining teams in the eighth season of A1 Adria League.

Anlaki, Marten Gaming, and JESTE qualify for the A1 Adria League!

/0 Comments/in , /by

After our first open qualifier concluded yesterday, today, eight teams fought for three spots in the CS:GO A1 Adria League.

An interesting mix of upcoming and experienced teams signed up for the first of two open qualifiers we are hosting for this season. The best eight teams were supposed to go to the closed qualifier and that’s why the most important matches were those in the Round of 16. VeryBadPlayers were actually very good players as they managed to outplay Dimitar “raniiiN” Avramovski and Donda. Next up, a regional team consisting of players such as Krunoslav “Salted” Katalinić and one of Season 7’s winners, Petar “HOLMES” Dimitrijević, defeated 200DINPEEK and secured the closed qualifiers.

Anlaki are one of the squads that have improved the most during the summer. Today, they kept up with their great recent performances and become one of the eight qualified teams, together with stich and Aimabazi who did so over TENACITYgg. The other half of the matches had some interesting results. Nemanja “nEMANHA” Đukić and 1tap upset Young Glorians, while Aleksandar “HLEB” Todorović’s JESTE was better than NoTalents. Last but not least, Marten Gaming and Immortal Balkans bested 4glory Youngest and KS Geto, respectively.

CS:GO Open Qualifier #1

Today, starting at 12 o’clock, Anlaki and seven other teams met in a single-elimination bracket to decide the three sides that could join the invited teams in the eighth season. Despite their good result in the open qualifier, 1tap were powerless against Anlaki. The same can be said for Aimabazi who lost to JESTE in their quarterfinal match. Marten Gaming outplayed Immortal Balkans, and for the last match of this stage, CKUKO played better than VeryBadPLayers and concluded the quarterfinals.

Next up were the two semis. As the match between CKUKO and VeryBadPlayers lasted longer than the other three, the second semifinal started a bit later. In the meantime, Anlaki and JESTE faced off in their duel to decide the first qualified team. In the end, that team was Anlaki, while JESTE were relegated to the third-place decider. Marten Gaming came out as the winners of the second semifinal at the expense of CKUKO. The third League spot went to JESTE since they convincingly won the third-place decider.

The next and also last CS:GO qualifier will be played on Saturday. So hurry up, assemble your team and SIGN UP.

Anlaki, Marten, JESTE
