/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

The third week since the beginning of the 12th A1 Adria League season is already behind us. Many interesting matches were played, and excitement wasn’t absent. We even crowned the first champion in this A1AL season in League of Legends. Read on to learn more about FIFA23, FIFA Mobile, CS: GO, and LoL tournament results.

Shaq wins the second FIFA Mobile qualifiers

Unlike the first qualifier in FIFA Mobile, our new A1 Adria League tournament, the second didn’t see many surprises and upsets. At the top of the leaderboard are currently Kayozz, the winner of the first qualifier, and Shaq. These two players bested their opponents on their side of the bracket and made it to the finals. There, Shaq managed to snatch a victory from Kayozz and claim 120 points.

This puts him in the second place, while Kayozz remains the first with 200 points. He obtained 80 points in second place in the second FIFA Mobile qualifier. Ivand and Nerko are sharing the third spot with 90 points overall.

There is still time to earn more points and secure the group stage by signing up for the third qualifier set on September 22nd. You can do it HERE!

Third FIFA23 qualifier without a winner!

In the third FIFA23 qualifier, Teo “Sibirski_Plavac” Radman was the one who reached the finals and won 100 points. However, we found out another player was playing on his account and climbing in his place. Harun “Hara” Parla, a known FIFA player in the region, was boosting Teo, leading to both players being disqualified from the league.

Since these two players are now out of the league, the leaderboard in FIFA23 looks a bit different. Novo and Marac are still at the top with 140 points each. Haris, who made it to the finals in the third qualifier, has 90 points, followed by Esad Memic and Brstimir with 80 and 70 points, respectively.

The last FIFA23 qualifier will be played on September 23rd. Sign up for it HERE!

Underdogs Salamander and Megnatos made it to CS: GO group stage!

Out of 36 teams, only two could secure the group stage in the last CS: GO qualifier. Those teams were Salamander and Megnatos, who bested some familiar CS: GO players in the region and wider. They are the last two teams to make it to the group stage and join 4 qualified and 2 invited ones.

GhoulsW made another appearance but couldn’t get past ZGOINGON in the quarter-finals with HOLMES-, aidKiT, and choiv7 in their roster. However, this team didn’t make it far from there. They lost in the next round to Megnatos. Some of the names worth mentioning that also couldn’t secure groups are cerber-, deb0, v1w, and vAloN9, who we know from Kosovo organization X, and gejmzilla, who returned to A1 Adria League after a couple of seasons. Unfortunately, he will have to wait for the next one.

DZANGLERI are the new LoL champions!

Out of 16 teams, DZANGLERI made it to the end and won the first mini-tournament of the 12th A1 Adria League season, League of Legends. Another title goes into the hands of DZANGLERI, who also came on top in the ninth A1AL season. Panj also took another trophy home after showing up in many A1AL seasons.

The champions defeated VoidEsport in the finals 2:0 and rightfully claimed the throne and the 750 euros prize.

Close to winning were HARMONY and Stara Garda, previous champions in the A1 Adria League in this tournament. Both teams made it to the semifinals but weren’t successful. They battled against one another in the match for third place, where Stara Garda celebrated with a 1:0 score.

More new games and mini-tournaments are coming, so make sure to check our social media accounts and follow us for the latest news!

Players from FIFA23 and CS: GO have already finished their second A1AL qualifiers and are now closer to securing the group stage, while some already did. On the other hand, last weekend, FIFA Mobile saw its debut. The first qualifiers welcomed as many as 130 players, and the best was Kayozz, who took 120 points and first place.

Upsets in the first FIFA Mobile qualifiers

There were many upsets and surprises in the first-ever FIFA Mobile qualifiers in the 12th A1 Adria League season. Two Gaming Weekend finalists from the “Balkan Top H2H” organization didn’t make it past the second round. The winner of Gaming Weekend, Andrija06, lost in the first round, while Shaq, the second finalist from this event, only made it to the second round.

Another upset was the elimination of the second-best FIFA Mobile player worldwide, Suhopolja12, who also lost in the first round of the qualifiers.

Those players who made upsets and eliminated the favorites were Kayozz from the Bosnian organization “BHSMC Balkan,” who defeated Medinjo, Maglica, Nemanja, HajdukKryptoa, Benjamin and, in the best-of-five duel, bested Bojan is Back.

The second-best qualifier was Macedonian player IvanD from the organization “Ujedinjeni,” who defeated Shaq, Bule, Havertz, and Nerko in the semifinals. He went home with 80 points.

Novo is back; CLA_marac90 still on top

The second A1AL FIFA23 qualifiers saw the return of the king! After failing the first one and losing in the first round, our five-time champion is back to defend the crown. Novo defeated many familiar names and won the most points and first place in these qualifiers. With 100 points, he is now second on the scoreboard, while CLA_marac90 kept his first place by obtaining 40 points.

The battle for the most points happened between two old rivals, Novo and Esad. Esad1memic didn’t manage to defeat Novo and received 70 points, while Tarik, in two games, won with an overall score of 8:3.

Two more teams have secured the SWISS group stage in the CS: GO competition of A1AL. Besides MBAPPEEK, Partizan, Jake Bube, and current champions Zero Tenacity, teams The Suspect and RUR Esports found their way into the top eight.

Many familiar CS: GO teams signed up for this qualifier and competed against the best in the region. The Suspect roster, who previously played under Blink, didn’t lose a single map. Gulito and his team once again secured the group stage and are ready for the battle for the crown.

On the other side of the bracket, another familiar name made it to the finals of the qualifier, RUR Esports. They defeated ghoulsW with 2:0, another familiar regional CS: GO team.

Two more places are left. It’s time to see which two teams will claim it next weekend. Sign up for the third and last qualifier scheduled for September 17th HERE!

Since the last Reboot InfoGamer in 2019, powered by A1, we have seen many Reboot events such as Reboot Games Weekends and Reboot Online Games Weekends. Now, the Reboot InfoGamer event is back! The event will be held at Zagrebacki Velesajam from 9th to 12th November, and the LAN finale of the 12th A1 Adria League will be a part of it!

Get ready for another Reboot InfoGamer!

The Croatian gaming industry has been expanding and reaching new heights each year. Compared to previous years, we have seen a rise in the total profit and employment in the national video game production industry. A recent study has shown an increase of 87% in this aspect compared to 2019.

After months of planning, the Reboot InfoGamer is back and scheduled for November. The event will begin on November 9th and end on the 12th at the Zagrebacki Velesajam. But that’s not all. As a part of this event, the LAN finale of the current A1 Adria League season will be played in three popular games. Players and teams from Serbia, Croatia, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina will compete for the top price and the right to call themselves the best regional players/teams in FIFA23/24, FIFA Mobile, and CS: GO. Once again, these events will be sponsored by A1 Croatia.

Besides the A1AL LAN, at the event, you can enjoy popular and new video games, panels where the developers will talk about their projects and giveaways where gaming merch and hardware will be awarded to those who are lucky.

The qualifiers for the 12th A1 Adria League started this weekend. We saw intense competition in FIFA23 and CS: GO first qualifiers. The most successful player in the FIFA23 qualifier was CLA_marac90, who won 100 points. On the other hand, the winners of the first CS: GO qualifiers were Partizan and MBAPPEEK, who secured the group stage.

The first two CS: GO group stage spots taken!

The first CS:GO qualifiers are over. We saw many successful regional teams battle it out on different maps. While everyone gave their best, the two teams who overcame all obstacles were Partizan and MBAPPEEK. They secured their spots in the group stage, joining the two invited teams and last year’s finalists, Jake Bube, and the current champions, Zero Tenacity.

Both teams were a menace on their side of the bracket. Partizan defeated Volt, Cactus Jack, and Achievo Esports without losing a single map. On the other side, MBAPPEEK was better than Kopaci, Team Vertex, and Mutnica Public.

FIFA Mobile is coming to A1AL for the first time ever!

/4 Comments/in , , /by

The 12th A1 Adria League season is only days away, and we already know the names of two main games in the league, CS: GO and FIFA23. Joining these two titans is FIFA Mobile. First qualifiers are just around the corner, so don’t waste any time, and sign up now!

Sign up for the first FIFA Mobile Qualifiers!

FIFA has been one of the constant tournaments featured in our A1 Adria League. We thought about it and decided to add another FIFA tournament due to the popularity and intense competition we see here every season. This season, FIFA will be played on both the console and mobile. This way, we are allowing players who prefer the mobile version of FIFA to compete and have a chance at the prize pool. The first FIFA Mobile champion will be crowned at the end of the season.

Much like the FIFA23 tournament, mobile FIFA will have four open qualifiers where the best regional players will compete and earn points. Securing the group stage won’t be easy, but participating at each and every qualifier will increase your chances. Don’t wait any longer, and sign up for the first FIFA Mobile qualifier scheduled for September 8th by clicking on the link below.

First FIFA Mobile Qualifier – September 8th

After the qualifiers, the best eight players will battle it out in our SWISS group stage. There, only half the people will advance further. Then, in the finals, the best four FIFA Mobile players will compete for the top prize and the trophy. Take a look at some of the general rules of this tournament:

GAME MODE: Head to Head mode (H2H)

SQUAD RESTRICTIONS: NONE

CHECK-IN: N/A

ROUND TIME LIMIT: 45 min

NO SHOW REPORT – 15 MIN after the official round start

The prize pool for this tournament is 1350 euros. This amount will be awarded to the best four players. First place will receive 700, the vice-champion 350, and third and fourth place will earn 200 and 100 euros, respectively.

Sign up for the first FIFA23 qualifier and compete with the best!

After Gruby broke Novo’s winning streak in the 10th A1 Adria League FIFA competition, Tarik Novo returned stronger last season and took back what was his. He is now the most crowned FIFA player in the A1AL with five trophies. I’m sure we will see him again with the start of the new FIFA23 season, but will we see a rival strong enough to take him down?

If you think you can claim the throne and compete with the best of the best, sign up for the first qualifier and start gathering points. Only those with the most points will get the chance to compete in the league.

Sign up for the first FIFA23 qualifier!

Unlike CS:GO qualifiers, or some other games, FIFA23 has its own qualifier format. Namely, you should compete in all four qualifiers if you want to secure your spot in the group stages of the competition. You can’t win only one and qualify, like CS:GO teams do. In FIFA23, each qualifier brings 100 points to the winner, 70 points to the second place, and so on. The highest chance of advancing has the players with the most points. In some cases, it happened that a player could qualify with only one win from qualifiers, but it’s better not to leave anything to chance as the competition is fierce every season. Sign up for the first one on the link below.

First FIFA23 Qualifier – September 2nd

After four Qualifiers Cups, the best eight FIFA players will advance to the SWISS group stage. At some point in the group stage, the competition will move from FIFA23 to FIFA24, so there is no time to lower your guard. Keep practicing, and the grand finale will be yours!

From eight players in the group stage, we will eliminate four, while the remaining four will advance further in the competition. The finals will decide who is the best. As you qualify for the finals, you are guaranteed to take money home. The prize pool for FIFA23 this season is 2,300 euros, where the champion receives 1,250, the second place 600, the third place 300, and the fourth earns 150 euros.

 

Get ready for a new CS:GO tournament in the A1AL!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A couple of months ago, we crowned the best team in the league and the best CS:GO regional five-person squad, Zero Tenacity. The Serbian team took another trophy in the league, the third one in a row, making them a menace to anyone attempting to take them down from their throne.

Even though it seems like it was yesterday, the CS:GO finale of the 11th A1 Adria League was played in June, and now, in August, we are ready for new adventures. Sign up for CS:GO qualifiers and begin your climb to greatness.

The first qualifier is around the corner!

The new A1 Adria League season always brings something new, and this year isn’t different. The CS:GO competition of the 12th season will have three qualifiers instead of four like it was in the previous years. This doesn’t mean the competition won’t be interesting; it only means we are allowing the best two teams from last season a free pass. Namely, current champions Zero Tenacity and vice champions Jake Bube are the two invited teams who will wait for their opponents in the SWISS group stage.

The first chance for qualifying for the CS:GO group stage is September 3rd. Sign up now by clicking on the link below and secure a spot in the group stage!

First CS:GO Qualifier – September 3rd

If you don’t manage to qualify for the group stage in the first one, you will have two more opportunities, as there are three Qualifiers Cups overall. After the qualifiers, the best eight CS:GO teams will battle it out in the SWISS group stage, where we will have to say goodbye to four of those teams. The other four who proved their worth will advance to the Finals and have a chance to win some of the prize pool of 10,000 euros.

The stakes have never been higher, so don’t miss the chance to take the trophy and a whopping 5,000 euros home.

A1 Gaming Weekends Tekken

What’s on the menu? We’re hosting a Tekken 7 PC online doubles tournament! To clinch the top spot, you’ll need a partner and a solid strategy. Each entry to this tournament consists of a pair of players. The draw will follow a double-elimination format, where each pair must lose twice to be eliminated. The winning team walks away with a prize of 250 euros.

Basic rules:

Each match is played in a best-of-three games (bo3) format, each consisting of three rounds. The upper and lower bracket finals, as well as the grand finals, are best-of-five games (bo5). The team that loses a game can choose between two options:

Select a new character but have the stage chosen randomly. Stick with the same character but choose the stage of your choice. Character customization is not allowed.

Special rules:

Each bracket slot is reserved for one team, composed of two players. The team decides which player they send into the next match, and that player must complete the match.
