ONYX and 4glory are a win away from the playoffs!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The final playday of the second CS:GO round ended with three matches and three new winners – ONYX, Midnight, and 4glory.

Due to ONYX rescheduling their match from the first Round 2 playday, this Sunday featured three CS:GO matches. PORTUGAL and ONYX started the CS:GO marathon on Train where the current champions were able to secure an easy 16:08 win. PORTUGAL’s map pick, Dust 2, was a different story, but with the same ending. Both teams showed some great Counter-Strike, and the map went to overtime. ONYX didn’t let the pressure get to them and were able to close out the map and the match in the first overtime.

Right after the first match came to an end, Midnight and Onlinerss entered the server to fight for their first win. The first two maps were the same as in the previous match, with Onlinerss winning Train. Jasin “connex” Memedi carried his team Midnight through Dust 2 with an amazing performance with the AWP. The decider was Mirage which was ended after 29 rounds. Midnight were the team that came out as the winners in the very end and sent Onlinerss to the bottom of the scoreboard.

4glory and Good Game played a marathon on their own. 4glory won Good Game’s map pick, Mirage, with a 16:07 end result, but the match got heated in the next maps. The Macedonian squad fought very hard and finally won Train with a 16:13 score, sending the match to the decider, Nuke. Nuke went to all 30 rounds and was intense until the very last minute. The teams were constantly changing the lead, but in the end, Luka “c0llins” Živanović and 4glory were the team that won the 16th regulation round.

The first League of Legends playday is over!

/0 Comments/in , /by

League of Legends is BACK! On the first playday we watched teams from Croatia, Serbia, and Macedonia battle it out in their respective groups to become a part of the Regional Playoffs.

Croatia

Split Raiders dominantly breezed past Zahmeljeni in the first Croatian round. RainDrop dropped two wins versus BL Gaming, while Fantastic Esports outplayed Intensity eSports 2-1. The second round of the upper bracket ended after just one match as Reroot forfeited their match against Fantastic. The only match saw Split Raiders sent RainDrop to the lower portion of the bracket.

While the teams played the second round, the lower bracket was going through its first one. BL Gaming were able to 2-0 and eliminate Zahmeljeni, and in the other match, Fiko Izdaja bested Intensity eSports in a great three-game duel.

Macedonia

In the Macedonian National Playoffs, the double-elimination bracket saw an interesting Day 1 filled with intense League of Legends action. Brotagonists1g managed to beat Cult, while Harmony advanced to the second winners’ bracket round over Shelco Esports. The other two teams that made the second round were FunTeam and Reborn Esports. In the lower bracket, Cult directly advanced to Round 2, while Dragon Force got their victory after playing Shelco Esports.

Reborn Esports and Harmony reached the winners’ bracket final after they successfully outplayed Brotagonists1g and FunTeam, respectively. Besides the upper bracket final, FunTeam will face Cult and the Brotagonists will meet Dragon Force next week.

Serbia

QSKE and Placeholder were the most successful teams in the first Serbian League of Legends playday. On the other hand, ConnectnowEsports and Banished Esports were eliminated after suffering two losses in the double-elimination bracket. Sarajevo Five, Supp Diff, Mental Boomers, and OnlyFans are the other four teams that survived the first playday besides QSKE and Placeholder. Mental Boomers will play SuppDiff, while SarajevoFive will try to beat OnlyFans in the lower bracket round 2 which will be played next Saturday.

Due to Riot Games’ rules concerning tournaments of this character, the teams from countries that didn’t field enough teams in the qualifiers had to be excluded from the latter portions of the event. We are actively working to find a way to give these teams a chance in the next season if such a thing happens again!

Sardinho213 and Sulja get their first wins in the second round!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Right after Brawl Stars, FIFA’s second round concluded with two victories by Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi and Emir “Sulja” Suljović.

The Slovenian player recovered after his loss in the first round and managed to squeeze past Armin “arminho0307” Hasanbegović. The first match showed great performance by arminho0307 who scored three goals without receiving a single one himself. The tables turned in the second game. The result was the same, but this time Sardinho was the winner. In the final game which went to overtime and then penalties, Sardinho outplayed Armin and grabbed his first win for this season.

Sulja and Marko “Klaic” Klaić entered the FIFA stadium after the first match came to an end. We saw a fierce game in the first game in which Sulja barely won with a 3-2 difference and headed into Game 2 with a 1-0 advantage. This time, Sulja didn’t let klaic get close to him and scored five goals. Klaic’s one goal in the second game meant that he lost the match and he is now 0-2 in the FIFA standings.

Mayoi breeze past Lil Surprise; QSKE Gaming disqualified!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The second Brawl Stars SWISS round is now concluded and moving forward, the League will feature one less team for the remainder of the season.

To start off this week of A1 Adria League, Mayoi challenged Lil Surprise and pulled off a convincing win against their Croatian opponents. Mayoi was dominant since the very start of the game and didn’t let Lil Surprise get a single point, winning the match 3:0. This win now puts Mayoi on the top of the table along with Noble Elite BLK ahead of the third round. Lil Surprise, on the other hand, will enter round three with a 1-1 score.

The second match was forfeited by QSKE Gaming, again. They weren’t able to find three of their four players for the match and were forced to give up the match without even playing it. Seeing as this is their second forfeit in a row, QSKE Gaming is now disqualified from this season of the A1 Adria League. While this season is over for the organization, the players – Šaba, Skendo i need you, Golub, and MIKEKING, will not be allowed to participate in the eighth season as well. Furthermore, it seems that the players will not be representing QSKE in the future.

The Mayoi vs. Lil Surprise duel can be watched below:

This week in A1AL: Second round is drawing to a close!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Two FIFA and Brawl Stars and three CS:GO matches remain until the end of the second SWISS round. The teams are slowly gaining the lead in the group stage and are fighting for their spot in the playoffs.

Brawl Stars

As always, the opening game for our A1 Adria League week is Brawl Stars. First up is the duel between Lil Surprise and Mayoi – a match that will decide who joins Noble Elite BLK in the 2-0 pool. Mayoi managed to get here with a win against Omerta, while Lil Surprise beat a weakened 09 Gang in the first round.

When the first duel concludes, Noble Elite Red and QSKE will enter the arena to fight for their first win. As QSKE Gaming forfeited their last match, this will be the first time we are seeing them in this season of the A1 Adria League. Noble Elite Red are still recovering from their defeat versus Tora Gold which sent them to the 0-1 pool. After this match, one of the teams will join 09 Gang in the 0-2 pool, while the other one will hold their spot in the middle of the standings.

Brawl Stars Round 2-2

FIFA

Friday, FIFA day! The only Slovenian player in this season, Leon “Sardinho213” Sardi will face Armin “Arminho0307” Hasanbegović in the first match. Arminho barely lost his match in the previous round and will be looking to fix his mistake versus Sardinho. Sardinho, on the other hand, was demolished by amke2001 6-1 which really isn’t a great start of the season. Though we are still early on and there are plenty of chances for the Slovenian FIFA player to redeem himself, his first being on Friday versus Arminho.

Marko “Klaic” Klaić and Emir “Sulja” Suljović – a clash between the new players. Each of them won one of the qualifying cups despite facing great competition from the whole region, but their start wasn’t the best and they are now looking to get their first victory. Sulja fell to brstimir and klaic wasn’t able to defeat FIFAFICO. After Friday ends, one of them will be playing in the 0-2 pool, while the second one will join FIFAFICO, esad1memic and the Sardinho/Arminho winner with 1-1.

FIFA Round 2-2

CS:GO

ONYX weren’t able to compete on Sunday so the match was rescheduled for the next playday. That means that we will be watching three great CS:GO matches on Sunday, with ONYX opening up the fourth playday at 14 o’clock. Their opponents will be PORTUGAL.

When that match concludes, Midnight will take on Onliners in our second BO3 of the day. Both teams are new to the League and haven’t met each other yet, which means that the match will be even more interesting than usual. To end the day, 4glory will face Good Game – a match between two of the favorites for this season of A1 Adria League.

Cobalt Esports outplay Fullshock in the only Sunday duel!

/0 Comments/in , /by

A short CS:GO playday on Sunday was concluded with Cobalt Esports‘ victory over their Croatian opponents, Fullshock. The match between PORTUGAL and ONYX that should have been played yesterday will be played next Sunday, along with the last two matches of the second SWISS round.

Cobalt Esports and Fullshock played only two maps in which the former was the dominant team that managed to secure their first SWISS win. The Best of 3 match started out on Inferno, Fullshock’s map pick. Even though Krunoslav “Salted” Katalinić & co. picked the map, Cobalt made them regret it and won Inferno 16-06. The game concluded on the second map, Dust 2. Contrary to Inferno, Fullshock showed some resistance and won a total of 12 rounds on the second map, but Cobalt’s stellar performance won them the second map and the whole match. This victory puts Cobalt in the 1-1 pool, while Fullshock are just a step away from elimination at 0-2.

brstimir and amke2001 are just a step away from the playoffs!

/0 Comments/in , /by

FIFAFICO, brstimir, amke2001, and esad1memic were the quartet of players that competed in FIFA’s second round of the SWISS stage today.

The first match was intense until the very end, a statement proven by the fact that amke scored the winning goal at the last minutes of the third game. The match between these two regional FIFA veterans ended with an 8:7 score. As both of these matches were a part of the winners’ pool, this win put amke just a step away from the FIFA playoffs.

Unlike the first match that was clinched by amke in the very end, brstimir showed FIFAFICO who’s the boss and filled FIFAFICO’s net with goals in two games. The first game of their match saw FIFAFICO show some resistance and score a goal. On the other side, brstimir scored four. Even that one goal was too hard of a challenge for brstimir’s opponent in the second game where FIFAFICO lost 5:0.

Noble Elite BLK go 2-0; Brankec06 leaves 09 Gang mid-match!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The second SWISS round of the A1 Adria League is now LIVE! Today, the regional Brawlers battled it out and we have two winners – Omerta and Noble Elite BLK.

The first match saw Noble Elite BLK avenge the Red squad’s loss to Tora Gold in the previous round. Unlike that match, Noble Elite BLK didn’t sweat against Tora in the second round and secured an easy 3:0 win. The result of this game puts Noble Elite in first place in the Brawl Stars rankings and only one victory separates them from becoming the first playoffs team for this season.

Omerta and 09 Gang met in the second match of the night. While the final result was once again 3:0, this match was much more controversial than the first game of the day. Namely, 09 Gang’s player Brankec06 disconnected in the middle of the match and refused to reconnect, an act that landed him the first place on our banned players list for the season. Because of this, 09 Gang played the last set with a player deficit (2v3).

Two CS:GO matches on Sunday announced the end of the first SWISS round for all three titles. This time, 4glory and Good Game triumphed over their opponents and secured their first wins.

Following recent changes in their roster, 4glory fielded two substitutes in their match versus Midnight. Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac and Andrija “andr1x” Ljubić helped the team achieve a convincing victory on only two maps. 4glory won their map pick, Train, 16-09, and then proceeded to squeeze another win on Mirage (16-13).

Match two for the day saw the Macedonian squad Good Game face the reigning Bosnian champions Onlinerss. Once again, we watched a 2-0 game that ended in favor of Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski’s squad who are one of the favorites for this season of the League. The same two maps were played, with Train ending 16-9 and the teams summing up Mirage 16-5.
