Gale wins again: EA FC Mobile closes out A1AL Weekly
The A1 Adria League Weekly competitions are now officially behind us. In an intense playoff final over the weekend we concluded the Weekly series with another big final, thus rounding up the 10 weeks of play with the game we started out with almost 10 weeks ago: EA FC Mobile. In an interesting turn of events, the winner of the first Weekly of the year, Gale, also managed to win the last one, earning another €400 and cementing his name in the A1 Adria League history. So, how did it go down?
Group stage
The format of the EA FC Mobile playoffs remained the same as it was the first time around, and many of the names qualified for the second stage of competitions were also very familiar. We saw two groups of eight players compete for points to get them a spot in the playoffs. Gale, Danci, Ciro and Lazar advanced from Group A and met with TaleTopG, Shaq, Nikolas and Somzi in the top 8 playoffs.
In the first round, Gale, Danci, Tale and Nikolas won and moved to the upper bracket semis, while the remaining players needed to compete through the lower bracket to get another chance at the finals. Nikolas beat the first Weekly champion, Gale, in the first upper semi and secured a spot in the finals with relative ease. This meant that Gale needed to win big in the lower bracket to get a chance at redemption.
Before that would happen, Tale beat Somzi and Lazar won against Danci in the lower bracket, and in the coming match Lazar won against Tale and earned a shot at Gale who waited for the lower bracket to unfold. In one of the most intense matches of the season, Gale managed to just barely win against Lazar after scoring a winning goal in the 94th minute of the fifth match, getting back on track to the grand finals.
Grand finals
Nikolas and Gale clashed again in the big final, and Nikolas even had the advantage of one match due to him coming from the upper bracket. Still, after the first match ended in a draw, Gale dominated two games in a row and reset the bracket, which meant that it all came down to a single match.
In the last match of the grand final, both players played very carefully, and we did not have a winner after regulation, so we proceeded to the golden goal, which happened just before halftime in the golden goal match. Gale completed his revenge on Nikolas and secured another big win in the A1 Adria League weekly, making him the most dominant player of the entire season.
With this last round recapped, we’re done with the Weekly tournaments! It was a blast watching players compete in various games, and we can’t wait to see more of them again very soon. We’re currently looking forward to the summer break and planning our return to competition very soon.
