This season’s PUBG champion is team Grove Street!

Another mini tournament is over as we are getting closer to the finish of the 12th A1 Adria League season. Namely, PUBG got a new champion after three seasons, Grove Street. Read on to learn how they reached the top spot and every interesting detail of the tournament!

Exciting first day of competition

We have seen many signed-up teams and some of the favorites were Sniip, Late to Party, Idemo Bato, and Rock Solid Boys as the first day of the tournament started hectic. On the first map, we saw quite a chaotic midgame as all teams tried to take the best possible positions, and some of the biggest favorites lost key players. Sniip benefited from an early rotation into the center of the zone, which followed them to the very end. They managed to win the Chicken Dinner even though they made a tactical mistake and got separated at the finish.

On the second map, the uncomfortable first zone dictated that all teams frantically searched for an early entrance into it, and Late To Party managed to get through the quite chaotic game the best and was rewarded for its stable and disciplined game with a 4-to-1 situation at the end. They had as many as 12 kills and first place on the ranking list.

Changing the map also brings a total change to the table. The outsiders outplayed numerous favorites, and in the chaotic finale, we fell from 29 living players to only 11 fighters in less than 60 seconds. Ja Genau team shot very well, but he was not rewarded with kills for their efforts, they will have to settle for placing in the top 4. Together as one secured the Chicken Dinner, but they surely must regret that they did not confirm more kills on Taeg.

The fourth map was won by Sniip and his team while the fifth and the most popular Erangel by our champions. And thus ended the first day of the PUBG competition.

Pubg Day 2 and a last chance for the top 8

Right at the beginning of the first game on the second day of the tournament, the underdogs took the opportunity to find unheated favorites, and in the end, we saw four teams from the bottom of the table. Menace did the best, winning the Chicken Dinner, and Ja Genau launched themselves into the top 8.

On the second Erangel, we saw a show of force by Sniip and Late to Party. Both teams “transferred” 10 kills, and in the clutch end, Zeko almost clutched. Still, he lacked a few better shots to secure the win, so Late to Party celebrated.

Vikendi relaunched Ja Genau into the top 8 – Carlo97 was the real hero of this team, as he dominated the entire game. In the late game, he broke key situations twice, first with two huge headshots from AWM on Grove Street players, and then in a 1v1 situation against XGlide’s Needex.

The fourth map saw the final battle between Together as One and XGlide where the latter profited with many kills and a Chicken Dinner. Furthermore, the highlight of the fifth map was a 2v1 battle between the BOMBER team and Grove Street. Woxez handled this situation brilliantly and took the Chicken Dinner for Grove Street with a clutch shot.

Grove Street victorious in the finals

Day three saw a dramatic finish to the tournament as the efforts of Grove Street and TogetherAsOne led to a photo finish between the two teams. TogetherAsOne’s bold rush on the last map, where they were forced to chase down an 18-point gap that Grove Street had, led to a head-to-head clash where Molodoct had to clutch and eliminate Grove Street. 

This put TaO in a situation where they needed a Chicken Dinner and 5 kills, which ultimately did not materialize as 4UP intercepted TaO and extinguished their hopes of victory. Moreover, Team Ja Genau must be pleased with the third day of competition as they managed to jump from 9th to third place and achieve the highest number of points earned during this day of competition.

Results of another A1AL group stage are here!

Another week is over, and our competitors in CS2, EA FC 24, and EA FC Mobile are getting closer to securing the top 4 and a place at the LAN event in Zagreb. Find out who already managed to secure these spots and who is still fighting for it in all three main games in the 12th A1 Adria League season.

Shaq is the first EA FC Mobile semifinalist

The results are in, and EA FC Mobile players have played some decider matches this week. From them, one player has secured and advanced to the next stage of the competition, while one other has been eliminated. The successful player was Shaq who won against Ivand with a 2:1 victory. On the other hand, we had to say goodbye to Destroyer who didn’t manage to win a single game in this group stage. It was Nerko who eliminated Destroyer with another 2:1 win. The third game that day ended with the same score between suh12 and Lazar where the former came out victorious.

Stay tuned for more exciting matches and more EA FC Mobile news!

Novo earns a ticket to the finals in Zagreb!

The first ones this week were Nemanja LS92 and Brstimir. It was a very interesting match and the only one that went to the third game on the playday of EA FC 24. Both players enter the match with a score of 1-1. Nemanja won the first match when he scored the winning goal in the end. In the second game, Brstimir returned and leveled the total score at 1-1. In the third game, Nemanja won 3:0 more easily than expected. Brsimir now has a negative score of 1-2 while Nemanja has a 2-1 record.

The second match of the day featured Fica’s routine 2-0 win on aggregate over his colleague from the CLA organization TH3Prod1gy. Also, both players entered this match with a 1-1 ratio. Fico performed better and gave himself an advantage and now one win separates him from the LAN finish.

The most exciting match of the third EA FC 24 group stage round was played by two guys who entered the match with a ratio of 2-0, Novo and Marac. Easier than expected, Novo achieves his third victory and confirms the ticket to Zagreb in November.

Partizan secures playoff in CS2!

The first match of the fourth CS2 group stage round was played between Partizan Esports and RUR Esports. Partizan won the duel with 2:0 on Ancient and Overpass. The first map started in favor of Partizan and they had a two-round advantage at halftime (7:5). RUR managed to draw the score on 7:7 but after that, they missed too many chances and allowed their opponents few crucial clutches. This led to a victory in favor of Partizan with a score of 13:8. Similar scenario on Overpass. Partizan dominated the first half with 8:4 after which RUR took four rounds and evened out the score. However, that was all they managed to achieve, as Partizan didn’t let them win a single round after that and ended the game with the same score (13:8) and secured their spot in the playoffs.

Salamander is eliminated from the group stage

The second game of the week in CS2’s fourth round was played between Megnatos and Salamander. It was more than a dominant win for Megnatos on both maps which means we have to say goodbye to Salamander as they are eliminated. Ancient began with 9:3 on half for Megnatos and ended with four more rounds in favor of them (13:3). On Vertigo the half ended with the same score. It was Tiirex who carried his team to such a dominant victory as he had 18 frags in 10 rounds during the first half. The second half was more or less the same as in the first game. Megnatos once more ends the game with a 13:3 score.

The Suspect puts on a show

Jake Bube vs The Suspect was the most exciting match of this SWISS round where we saw all three maps. Mirage was a mess, to say the least. Even though The Suspect had an amazing first half which ended with a 10:2 score, Jake Bube came back in the match and almost won, making their opponents sweat. A lot of rounds with deagles brought us an exciting finish, where in the end Suspect got the first win with a 13:9 score. Moreover, Ancient was nothing less exciting. It was a very close match and an even score at half-time. The Suspect got the lead in the second half. However, at 10:7 Bube finally woke up and returned fire ending the game in their favor (13:10).

Inferno was a decider. The Suspect shows a great start once again winning five rounds in a row. However, Bube wouldn’t be defeated so easily as the half ended with a 7:5 score. The Suspect kept their lead for a while. At 10:5 Bube attempted another miraculous return, however, Kindo, the hero of their team, couldn’t carry the weight. In the end, it was a 13:10 victory for The Suspect.

A1AL SWISS group stage recap here!

We are getting closer to finals in the 12th A1 Adria League season. The group stage phase has already kicked off and some teams already secured their spot in the finals, while others are just one step away. Read on to learn what happened in the SWISS group stage round 2 in EA FC 24 and EA FC Mobile, and who was successful in the third group stage round in CS2!

Shaq and Ivand dominant in EA FC Mobile

The second group stage round in the A1 Adria League in EA FC Mobile brought two players closer to securing a spot in the next stage of the competition. Shaq and Ivand have two wins and need only one more to be in the top 4. On the other hand, Destroyer lost another game and is now one step away from elimination. He needs to improve his performance or take his chances in a different EA FC Mobile season.

The same goes for Nerko, who played in the first match of the day against Lazar. Lazar won 3:0 and left Nerko in the danger zone. In the second match, two league favorites Shaq and Kayozz battled it out in a derby match, where the former came out victorious.

EA FC 24 is as intense as ever!

In the first match of the second group stage round, we saw many emotions on the stream between Esad1memic and CLA TH3Prod1gy. It was the latter who managed to score more goals and avoid being 0:2 which can’t be said for Esad. However, this isn’t the first time for the A1AL veteran to be in this position and manage to still secure the top 4.

The second match between two rookies of the league played by OlleDobrinho and NemanjaLS92 finished in the favor of Nemanja who won 2:0. This left Olle in a bad position whereas if he loses another match he is out of the league.

CLA Marac in the third match wins against his countryman and mate from the organization CLA Cyber Fico and is now one step closer to securing the next stage. He now has the overall score of 2:0 while Fico is in solid state with one win and one loss.

In the end, the best! Two familiar names and two rivals Novo and Brstimir went head to head in the biggest match of the week. In the region derby emotions couldn’t be surpressed. Novo opened with a win after which Brstimir retaliated making Novo ragequit. However, he came back and celebrated in the end with a big win. One more and he is in the TOP 4. On the other hand, Brstimir has an overall score of 1:1 and a good chance to advance further.

Z10 is in the top 4; Bonanza eliminated in CS2

Unlike EA FC, CS2 is already playing the third group stage round which brought one elimination and one promotion. Namely, Zero Tenacity, the current champion defender, secured the next stage with 3:0. On the other hand, Bonanza didn’t manage to secure a single win and is out of the competition.

The first match of this round was played between Jake Bube and RUR Esports. It was a close match where RUR had a small early lead. However, at halftime, it was 8:4 for Jake Bube. It was smooth sailing for Jake Bube until 12:7 when RUR attempted to come back into the game and almost managed to reverse the game. However, the score was 12:10 when team Jake Bube secured a win with one more victorious round.

The second match between The Suspects and Megnatos finished fast as one player from Megnatos failed to connect and they had to surrender unfortunately.

The third one was another close match between Salamander and Bonanza on Anubis, Ancient, and Inferno, where Salamander came out victorious with a 2:1 score overall and eliminated Bonanza. Anubis was close until halftime where Bonanza performed better even though their opponents picked the map. After that 13:8 victory things began to go south for Bonanza. Things on Ancient really had an explosive ending. The situation was equal for the most part of the game. Half time was 6:6, after which Salamander won 6 rounds in a row. Then Bonanza woke up and almost evened out the score, it was 12:11. In a 2v2 situation on B Site, Miwo (Salamander) outplays the opponent and wins one for his team. Moreover, the third match was pure domination for Salamander as Bonanza only won 2 rounds in the whole game.

In the fourth and last match, two giants clashed. Zero Tenacity and Partizan Esports played two games on Anubis and Overpass, where both maps went into the hands of the defending champions. On Anubis Z10 was dominant. The half ended in their favor 8:4, as well as the game where Z10 stomped the opponent with a 13:6 score, letting them only two rounds. The second game was even more one-sided with Brutmonster on AWP ending the half with a 9:3 score. Only two rounds were given to Partizan after that and Overpass ended with a 13:5 score.

See which teams were successful in the first group stage round of A1AL!

The league has officially started. In the 12th A1 Adria League season, the SWISS group stage saw its first winners in three main games. Who celebrated in EA FC 24, EA FC Mobile, and CS2 will be revealed further in the article, so keep reading! Furthermore, a Clash Royale mini-tournament got its champion the previous week, where Dominik bested the competition of nearly 80 players.

Favorites prevailed in EA FC Mobile

The first round of the group stage in EA FC Mobile finished without any upsets or surprises. In the first match, Suh12 defeated Lazar from Montenegro and justified the role of favorite. The same happened in the second duel of that day, where Kayozz snatched a victory from Destroyer after three matches. Even though he had internet problems, the Bosnian contest went into the hands of a favored Kayozz.

The third match was one of the most watched and most exciting ones as Shaq and Tocc battled it out for the first win in the group stage. They played for the umpteenth time, it was a replay of the finals of the Southeast Conference of the BFL, and the victory was taken by the BFL champion, the Serbian player Shaq. And in the derby between clan comrades, from the United League, Nerko and Ivand played 4 matches, after which Ivand from Macedonia emerged as the winner.

Great start for Novo and Brstimir

The first round of the group stage in EA FC 24 also didn’t have any upsets. Three out of four scheduled matches were played as one player withdrew from the league. Namely, Haris decided not to participate anymore and his place was taken by NemanjaLS92 a day ago. His match against Cyber Fico will be played subsequently.

In the first match of the group stage, Brstimir took on Croatian player CLA TH3Prod1gy and that was an easy win for our veteran. He took down his opponent with a swift 2:0 victory. The same happened in Novo’s matchup where, with the same result, the Bosnian defeated fellow countryman Esad1memic.

In another match, CLA Marac justified the role of favorite and defeated newly joined player OlleDobrinho.

Z10 is continuing the dominant performance in CS2

The defenders of the title in CS2, Zero Tenacity, opened the group stage with a dominant win. They are the biggest favorites for winning the championship again and they are showing it. Even though they were losing at halftime with 5:7 for team The Suspects, they snatched a 13:10 victory in the end. Nemanha was the best player of the game with 23 frags and a 1.53 K/D ratio.

RUR Esports won their match against Salamander on Ancient with a 7:5 score at half and finished with 13:7 letting the opponent get only two rounds in the second half. The determining round happened at 11:7 where RUR didn’t have a good buy but managed to outsmart Salamander and take the win.

Jake Bube vs Partizan Esports was the third match of the day, where Partizan defeated one of the invited teams by 13:8. The best player of the match was Kind0 with 24 kills.

Last but not least, Megnatos was successful against their opponent, team Bonanza with a 13:10 score on Mirage. Mwlky was the one who brought his team to victory with an astonishing 32 frags.

Next week we will find out who will be the first team to advance to the finals and who will be the first eliminated. Partizan and Z10 have a chance to secure a spot in the finals, while we say goodbye to either Bonanza or Salamander. Stay tuned!

Dominik is the Clash Royale champion!

The first stage of the Clash Royale competition was an in-game tournament lasting 60 minutes. The most famous names from the Clash Royale scene from the region took part in the tournament. Unfortunately, greats like Hezzy, Arkan, and Novak did not qualify for the next stage of the competition (Double Elimination). It is worth noting that Arkan and Novak are the winners of previous A1AL seasons.

In the bracket phase of the competition, we followed the dominance of Dominik and Enis in the upper bracket until the final itself. In the lower bracket, Marsel Smocker showed himself in the best light, winning the final of the lower bracket, where he played against Enis to meet the finalist from the upper bracket (Dominik). However, Enis once again showed why he is one of the best players from the region and successfully defeated Marcel Smocker. In the final itself, we had a repeated meeting between Dominik and Enis. The fight was tight, but Dominik the match and the prize pool worth 150 EUR.

Now we have the top eight players in all three main games and the group stage can commence.

Bosnian players dominated the FIFA Mobile qualifiers

After four exciting qualifiers in FIFA Mobile, we finally have our best eight players who will advance to the SWISS group stage and compete for the top prize. Besides already-known players who qualified, based on their success, we also had one upset in the fourth qualifier. Namely, the winner of the Gaming Weekend, Andrija 06, was defeated by a new player Mbalug, and is now out of the race for the top eight and the league. He will have to try again next season.

Two players made it to the semi-finals in the fourth qualifier and therefore secured the two group stage places. It was Lazar and Destroyer who bested a competition of 114 players and are safe in groups. Destroyer, Kayozz, and Nerko are representing Bosnia in the 12th A1 Adria League season, while two Maceodian players, Ivand and Tocc also made it.

FIFA games finishing their qualifiers; CS:GO group stage already started in the A1AL!

The fourth-week games of the 12th season in the A1 Adria League finished this weekend. FIFA Mobile played its third qualifier, with only one more left, while FIFA23 players finished their last one, and we now have the top 8 who will advance to the group stage. On the other hand, the first round of the CS: GO group stage was played last Sunday. Read to learn details about each game and how players and teams performed.

More upsets in FIFA Mobile

Like in the first A1AL FIFA Mobile qualifiers, we also witnessed more upsets this week. Firstly, the leader on the scoreboard, Kayozz, was surprisingly eliminated in the third round. Lazar snatched a saucy victory over Kayozz but only managed to reach the next round before being eliminated. Mihajlo ran him over in that round and reached the semifinals, where he was stopped by Suh12, who went on to win the qualifier and max points.

At the moment, Kayozz is still first, while Suh12 is right behind him with 170 points overall. Furthermore, the third place now belongs to Shaq, who has 130 points. With just one more qualifier left, the first three players are almost definitely advancing to the next stage in the A1AL.

Moreover, the competition will be even more significant in the next qualifier, considering we are switching to the new FIFA game EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile. Sign up for it HERE!

Who are the top eight FIFA23 players?

You’d be mistaken if you think that not much has changed in the final scoreboard for FIFA23. One player managed to reach the finals and win 70 points, securing a spot in the league and eliminating two players from the top 8. Namely, Srdjan “Olle Dobrinho” Dobric made it to the finals and, with 90 points overall, is now advancing to groups. With only 20 points before this qualifier, this player never gave up and was rewarded for it.

Due to his success, Djordje “Jasik” Cumbo and Nemanja “NemanjaLS92” Misic are out of the league and will have to try harder next season. Furthermore, max points went into the hands of Filip “CLA_Cyber_FICO” Babic, who was victorious against Olle Dobrinho with a 2:1 score and is also advancing to the group stage with 140 points overall.

Besides them, Novo, Esad Memic, Brstimir, Marac, and TheProd1gy are some of the names we will watch compete for the top prize in the A1AL groups. Also, we are switching to a new FIFA game in this tournament as well, so you will enjoy the best regional players competing in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 from now on.
