/0 Comments/in , /by

Four teams, Blink, EAGLES, lvlUP and 4glory played the playoffs of the sixth A1 Adria League CS:GO season. Saturday was filled with amazing CS:GO action, and in the end, lvlUP reclaimed their title – for the third time in a row.

The playoffs were played out on Sunday and the Kosovar derby between Blink and EAGLES started the CS:GO-packed day. Blink and Genc “gxx-“ Kolgeci looked really confident on Train, where the vice-champions managed to secure a 16-9 win. Next up was Mirage, the map-pick of EAGLES. Blink were even better on the second map and they saw their opponents win only five rounds before taking them down.

Next up, lvlUP and 4glory, the former Shock Bomb team, crossed swords. On their map-pick, Nuke, lvlUP, had a dominant 11-4 half on the T side. 4glory’s T side started with a three-round streak, but Dimitrije “DiMKE” Veljković & co. quickly shut down 4glory’s momentum and closed out the map 16-8. lvlUP took a five-round lead at the beginning of Mirage. 4glory managed to come back in the game and see the half end with a small 7-8 deficit. The game was close until the very end where the current champions won the game in the last round of regulation.

While the third-place decider was played off-stream, we had the chance to watch the Grand Finals of the sixth A1 Adria League season live. Blink and lvlUP met each other in the finals for the third season in a row, and for the third time, lvlUP’s core reigned supreme. Blink’s weak CT side on Inferno lost them the game after only 22 rounds. They had a 5-10 deficit in the first half, but a better CT side would have let them come closer to the champions. The second map was Mirage and Blink played a bit better. After having a five-round difference, just like on Inferno, Blink were unable to come back and ended the finals with yet another loss (16-10).

In the third-place decided, 4glory outplayed EAGLES and earned their first bronze medal for the organization. The sixth A1 Adria League season ended with these team placements:

1. rs lvlUP – €6,000
2. Blink – €3,000
3. rs 4glory – €2,000
4. EAGLES – €1,000

Joža Esports win Clash Royale; amke2001 is the FIFA21 champion!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

What an amazing time we had during the sixth A1 Adria League season. The sixth Clash Royale season saw Joža Esports secured the first place even though LAZR didn’t lose a single group stage game, and in FIFA, amke2001 was the best player in the double-elimination bracket.

Clash Royale

The group stage produced some intense moments and with that in mind, we came to the finals in which the following matches did not disappoint at all. Joža Esports as an underdog went from the bottom to the top in an extraordinary fashion.

All teams participated in the Gauntlet system, which meant that  Team LAZR already secured a spot and the rest had to fight for the second seat. But, there was a catch – the games were played in BO5 format (1v1, 2v2, KotH, 1v1 and 1v1).

Joža (ex Totem) played the first game against Tribe Academy and the winner of that match was supposed to go against Flayn eSports. Joža Esports was down 1-2 after the first three games and it seemed like they were going to step aside after only one match. But, Joža’s players showed great composure which gave them an edge in the end and they won the match against Tribe.

Joža Esports then went to the semifinal where Flayn eSports was waiting. Flayn was a favorite in this match, but Joža showed us that even a mighty can fall. Surprisingly, it was a much easier match for Joža against Flayn than it was versus Tribe. The team won 3-1 and went to the final.

The undefeated team of the group Team LAZR was waiting for them in the final. Absolute powerhouse with 10 victories and zero losses was ready to face the underdog. LAZR took the lead in the 1v1, but Joža returned the favor in 2v2 set. KotH was a close one with LAZR managing to get on top, but in the next two sets, Joža Esports’ players pulled themselves together and won the match with a final score being 3-2.

So that is it – Joža Esports is the winner of Clash Royale in the sixth season of A1 Adria League. Team LAZR came home second with only one defeat, Flayn eSports was third and Tribe Academy fourth. It was a season worth watching and we can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for us.

Clash Royale’s teams finished the sixth A1 Adria League season in the following manner:

1. Joža Esports
2. Team LAZR
3. Flayn eSports
4. Tribe Academy

FIFA

FIFA was the last A1 Adria League game to finish – its playoffs were played on Sunday and amke took one final W for this season. The four top players from the nine qualifiers met each other in the final playoffs kup.

esad1memic and Amke2001 player the first semifinal, while brstimir and Ajdin977 met each other later on. Amke and brstimir advanced through to the upper bracket finals where amke was able to best the veteran player.

Ajdin977 failed to win the elimination match between him and Esad and he, unfortunately, finished the A1 Adria League in fourth place. esad1memic managed to complete the comeback and qualify for the finals after winning against brstimir but that didn’t help him in the finals. Amke2001 reigned supreme over the season five winner and is now the A1 Adria League S6 champion.

1. Amke2001 – €1,100
2. esad1memic – €600
3. brstimir – €300
4. Ajdin977 – €150

The sixth A1 Adria League season is now officially finished. Over the past months, every week was packed with intense esports action and it all culminated during last week’s playoffs. Our second Brawl Stars season didn’t fail to disappoint and Good Game Gold took one final W in the Grand Finals.

Good Game Gold and Good Game Red had a dominant performance during the whole season and they didn’t disappoint in the playoffs either. Both teams started the double-elimination bracket with two wins – Red and Gold beat Code Lyoko, FA Deabdly, respectively (3-0; 3-0).

While the Good Game teams advanced to the second round, Code Lyoko and FA Deadly fell to the lower bracket. In the first elimination match, FA Deadly reigned supreme over their opponents and Code Lyoko ended the playoffs in the last place. Meanwhile, Good Game Gold stomped Red with a convincing 3-0 win.  Andrey’s team secured the first finals spot while GG Red faced FA Deadly in the lower bracket.

Just like in the first round, golub and FA Deadly weren’t able to resist Good Game’s dominant show of force. Another win for the Red squad sent them to the Grand Finals, for one, final Good Game derby. We are used to seeing high quality matches whenever the Good Game teams play, and the same could be said for the finals. In the end, Lavvek and GG Red only won one set. Good Game Gold became the champions of the sixth A1 Adria League season.

The four best Brawl Stars teams finished the League in the following order:

1. Good Game Gold – €1000
2. Good Game Red – €700
3. FA Deadly – €400
4. Code Lyoko – €200

A1 Adria League S6 - Brawl Stars Playoffs

 

Who will be the season six FIFA21 champion?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three intense A1 Adria League playoffs already came to an end. Last, but not least, we will see the four greatest regional e-football players play the FIFA21 playoffs for the second time this year.

The sixth season of the A1 Adria League was played during a transitional period for FIFA. We had a total of nine qualifiers, with three mini-playoff cups in between. After the first three cups, brstimir breezed past the competition and secured the first spot in the main playoffs event.

In the second trio of qualifiers, eight players once again entered the race for a place in the playoffs. This time, the FIFA21 Adria Prvenstvo S1 champion, amke2001, managed to slip past his opponents and join brstimir.

As the new edition of FIFA was released, we gave a short time for the players to adapt to the new game. The last trio of qualifiers brought two new competitors to the finals. Ajdin and esad1memic were the duo that adapted to the new iteration of FIFA the fastest and they completed the A1 Adria League playoffs list.

brstimir will face Ajdin while amke2001 will take on esad1memic in the semifinal matches tomorrow. The matches start in 14:00, but be there an hour earlier to be a part of the preshow analysis with PvtMole and Baro.

The prize pool will be split in the following manner:

1. €1,100
2. €600
3. €300
4. €150

Are you ready for the Clash Royale playoffs?

The group stage is done and we can finally prepare ourselves for the upcoming final matches which will determine who is the best team in the sixth season of A1 Adria League. Team LAZR topped the group with 10 wins and not a single loss so they directly advanced to the Grand Finals.

The playoffs will be played using The Gauntlet system. That means that the fourth team from the group will pair up with the third one. The winner of that match will go against the second-placed team. Lastly, the better team will play versus the first-placed team in the group for the crown. Every player may participate in two major sets (2v2, 1v1) and one minor (KoTH). The playoff players are allowed to change a player in their roster, but the new player mustn’t have played in the group stage of the League.

Going into the final matches, Team LAZR has the biggest chance of taking home the full prize. They displayed a unique and excellent performance in the group stage, which helped them in achieving 10 wins and zero losses.  Flayn eSports should be just right behind them, but we can’t cross out Joža Esports and Tribe Academy, especially with what is on the line. The matches will be played online on the 27th of October and will be broadcasted on A1 Adria League’s official Twitch and YouTube channels. The first match will start at 6 pm and the whole playday should end by 10 pm.

We will spend most of the upcoming week together on stream, so we decided to use the time to help those in need. During the week there will be multiple chances to donate money to a charity, and we will be also hosting a charity tournament.

A1 Adria League will donate €500 to Dječji Dom Vrbina and you will be able to donate to this charity and help those that really need it during the whole Reboot Online Games Week event. Dječji Dom Vrbina helps kids and families all over Croatia on a daily basis and we feel that we should support their work. Their services are helping families look after their kids and they are playing an important role in shaping the next generation.

The charity tournament mentioned above will be a 5v5 event between ten streamers that will play three different games with €500 on the line. A1AL will donate the €500 to a charity that the winners’ team chooses. The two streaming teams will meet in three games – CS:GO, Rocket League, and VALORANT.

CS:GO’s portion of the event will consist of a BO3 match with modified rules. The squads will play eight-round halves – the first team to reach round no.9 wins the map (the starting round money will be set at $2,500). After one team wins two maps, we will advance to the next game – Rocket League. This time, we are talking about a Best of 5, with the first two maps being standard 3v3 matches, the second duo of maps being Rumble, while the final map will be played in the Hoops mode.

In the final part of the event, the ten streamers will meet in a VALORANT match. There are a lot of famous names that will be present at the event. Team A consists of SupremeNexus, DON MACI, Inder45, Zefyx, and Baba sWeDisH, while PvtMole, GALLASANDALLA, Tetka, Agent, and missDasmi will fight under the second team.
