Season #2

As time goes by everyone of us is getting smarter, stronger and a bit more experienced. So did we. In the second season, we introduced some big changes in the format. Qualifiers took place well before the LAN finals so that one game can be played at a time and qualifiers for different games don’t overlap. But the two of the biggest changes we introduced was renaming from VIP Adria League to A1 Adria League, to proudly carry the name of the company that made it all possible, and we included two new games in the League: Hearthstone and Clash Royale, meaning the A1 Adria League went mobile.

A new powerhouse emerged on the League of Legends scene – ASUS ROG ELITE. Guys showed they are capable of great things after great results in the regional tournaments and the A1 Adria League was no exception. x25esports put up a great fight in the grand finals, but ASUS ROG ELITE was truly the better team.

Valiance&CO came in the second season with the target on their backs, everyone wanted to take down the reigning champions. Locastic Esports proved to be the best challenger in the online part of the League, but when it came to the LAN finals, Valiance&CO had no problem taking down all the challengers that wanted their title. They won vs Locastic Esports, and then went on to outplay the GamePub in all-Serbian finals. Recently they changed their brand to Cr4zy, and for some time now they are proud representatives of our region in the top 20 best teams of the world.

In Hearthstone Luka “Vulee” Vuletić made it all the way to first place in the nail-biting LAN finals. All players showed great skill and preparation, but in Hearthstone you also need a bit of luck. The toughest opponent for our champion was another Luka, Luka Črneli playing under the nickname of Lavvek. His expressions during those finals showed everything we care about in the A1 Adria League, focus, emotions, passion, and great sportsmanship.

Clash Royale finals took place on the same day. That Friday we crowned the youngest champion of the A1 Adria League – Saša “Sasaa” Miskovic. Everyone gave their best but it was Sasaa who came on top in the end. Now it’s time for the new journey, new changes, and challenges.
