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.

First FIFA23 points grabbed!

More than 50 players competed for the first FIFA points at the start of the 12th A1 Adria League season this past weekend. We saw many familiar names, such as Tarik Novo, Brstimir, Jasik, Hara, Esad Memic, and rest. While some of them managed to acquire certain points, the best player of the first FIFA23 qualifier was CLA_marac90, as he won 100 points. Second place was taken by Hara, who won 70 points, while the third-best player that evening was NemanjaLS92 with 50 points.

The big surprise was Tarik Novo, who lost in the first round. The current FIFA champion and the five-time A1AL winner didn’t have a good start.

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!

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.

Building a Safer Digital Landscape

/0 Comments/in , /by

In today’s digital era, the internet and video games have become integral parts of our daily lives, particularly among young individuals. However, with their growing popularity, an alarming issue has emerged – toxicity. Recently, a round table discussion titled “Fostering Responsible Online Behavior” was held at the A1 Adria League Finals during the Reboot Games Weekend as part of the #BoljiOnline campaign. Experts and enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds discussed crucial topics, such as the minimum age for social media profiles, responsible conduct on the internet and in multiplayer video games, and ways to educate individuals about creating a safer online environment.

Toxicity is a raising issue

Responsible behavior, as defined by Martina Nikolić from the Center for Safer Internet, entails actions that do not harm oneself or others. In contrast, behavior aimed at causing harm, including toxicity, is considered a form of online violence. Whether it occurs on social media platforms, internet communities, or during multiplayer gaming sessions, addressing these issues and enhancing education are crucial for creating a safer digital space for everyone.

Ena Lucija Kovač, co-founder of Zagreb Tekken Showdown and an esports tournament organizer, mentioned commendable preventive measures in video games like League of Legends and Valorant. However, Martina pointed out that the situation on social media platforms remains far from ideal. Alarmingly, according to DeShame research conducted in collaboration with A1 Hrvatska by the Center for Safer Internet, half of high school students do not report instances of online sexual harassment. Additionally, merely blocking abusive users, which constitutes the response of the other half, falls short of effectively deterring such misconduct.

Addressing these challenges requires education. Luka Karlić, a student from PMF, lamented the lack of focus on such matters during his high school education. Comprehensive education targeting not only youngsters but also parents, students, esports organizers, moderators, and internet community leaders is essential. The Center for Safer Internet offers various educational resources on its official website, www.csi.hr, and has developed a specialized page, https://influensajodgovorno.hr/, to tackle these issues.

Promoting responsible behavior

Promoting responsible behavior on the internet does not mean implementing categorical bans. Prohibiting communication in online multiplayer games would stifle the crucial social aspect that fosters camaraderie and friendship. Similarly, enforcing total internet and social media bans can have unintended consequences. Instead, empowering younger individuals through education and communication, with guidance from responsible adults, is the path towards a safer digital environment.

In the event of encountering any form of electronic harassment or violence on any platform, individuals are encouraged to reach out to the Center for Safer Internet via their anonymous hotline at 0800 606 606 or through their official social media profiles.

By collectively embracing the responsibility of nurturing responsible online behavior, we can shape a digital world that is respectful, inclusive, and secure for all users.
