/0 Comments/in , , /by

On April 23rd the third CS:GO qualifier brought us two more teams who, with their excellent performance, advanced to the group stage of the 11th season in the A1 Adria League. So far teams who have secured spots in the league are Zero Tenacity, Infernus, Confusee, and team-one. Two more teams joined them yesterday, after besting the competition, Glory4 and team JESTE.

Juric led Glory4 to victory

What to say, except that once again the battle in the CS:GO tournament was more exciting than ever. This time 43 teams were competing in the third qualifier, but only two could go further. Those two were Glory4, the absolute favorite of this qualifier, and team JESTE. Why was Glory4 such a favorite you may wonder? Well, considering their monstrous roster, the answer is simple. Led by Mladen Juric from Relog Media, Glory4 didn’t just win the qualifier, they demolished the competition. Well-known names such as andr1xx, sarenii, and c0llins showed the region they are here to win the trophy.

On their way to the decider match, Glory4 took down good teams, such as KlanRUR, making it then to the bo3 duel against SRBIJETINA. The games were played on Anubis and Ancient, and the scores were 16:11, and 16:10 in favor of Glory4, which secured their spot in groups.

On the other side of the bracket, JESTE was the most successful, battling ODZADZARI in their decider match. There the fight was much closer, and the series ended with a 2:1 score in favor of JESTE. The first map, Mirage went into overtime, showing how close their duel is gonna be. JESTE took the win there with 19:16, while their opponents were victorious on Ancient with a similar score in overtime at 19:17. The situation on Inferno, the last map, was less tense, as team JESTE defeated their opponents with a 16:10 result.

Only two spots in the group stage are vacant at the moment. The last qualifier will be played on April 29th. Don’t miss the chance to fight against the best in the region and the A1 Adria League. Sign up HERE!

Second round of group stage brought luck to the favorites

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Another week has gone by. The group stage in FIFA23, Brawl Stars, and CS:GO is ongoing. We are over with half of the competition in this stage of the tenth A1 Adria League season. The first week we saw some exciting matches in all the games. iNation and Blink dominated the CS:GO group stage, Salada failed in Brawl Stars and three out of four Bosnian players took their wins in the FIFA competition. The second week wasn’t any less exciting.

iNation secured the playoff; Psihocastic eliminated

Fans had the opportunity to once again watch CS:GO competition two days in one week. On last Wednesday we saw one qualification match and one regular one where teams were 1:1 in the overall score. The qualification match was played between iNation and Blink since they had two wins each, and were on the verge of making it further in the competition. That match was won by iNation, namely, Blink didn’t show up because of another tournament even though they were given one hour extra to attend.

In the other match that was played that day it was KTRL who came out victorious and showed a very dominant performance. They defeated GamePub and got one step closer to the playoff stage.

On Sunday, which is the second play day in last week’s CS:GO competition, we saw one team leave us. It was Psihocastic and Velez Mostar fighting for staying in the league. Velez Mostar took down their opponent with a 2:0 win and is still in contention. On the other side, the competition ends here for team Psihocastic.

In the match between Zero Tenacity and ILLYRIANS who both had a 1:1 score, Z10 came out victorious and is now in a good situation to make playoffs.

OMERT4 and GreekGod at the top; Salada redeemed

In the second round of the SWISS group stage in the Brawl Stars competition the favorites justified their role and got their well-deserved victories. OMERT4 is continuing with their amazing performance from the qualifiers and is now sitting at 2:0, alongside team GreekGod who is one of the strongest teams this season as well. These two teams will battle against each other this Thursday for the first spot in the playoffs. The wins that brought them to this position were achieved against La Aquilla for OMERT4 and for GreekGod it was a marathon match against Jazavci that went to all five maps.

Team Rolex, who won one of the A1AL qualifiers, also got their first victory in the group stage. They defeated Extreme Masters and now have an overall score of 1:1. Salada de Frutas, last season’s champions also got their win and started the climb to the top. They have a long way to go, but this is a good start for Salada and it shows they are not yet forsaken. They were fast and furious in their match against La Remontada which ended with a 3:0 win.

Novo and Brstimir are undefeated

Once again the favorites in the FIFA23 competition are back on top. This isn’t a surprise seeing how both Novo and Brstimir are dominating A1AL for seasons now. It was always Novo who secured the titles, but Brstimir is right there with him if we look at his performance. Both of these guys are currently sitting at the top of the leaderboard with a 2:0 score still waiting to be defeated. That will happen for one of them very soon, seeing that in the next round of the group stage which begins tonight they will fight against each other. So either Novo or Brstimir will take the first spot in the playoff stage.

In the other two matches of the second round in the FIFA23 group stage, Sardinho213 and Gruby got their wins. Last week turned out to be bad for Bosnian players. Out of four, only one was successful.  Also, Bruno and esad1memic are not in a good spot right now. They are on the verge of being eliminated seeing as they don’t have a single win. Let’s see how they perform tonight!

KTRL and Psihocastic won the second CS:GO qualifier

After Velez Mostar and KATAI secured the group stage of the A1 Adria League in CS:GO competition last week, two more teams joined last night. After an interesting night of CS:GO matches KTRL and Psihocastic also made it to the group stage by winning the second qualifier.

Two more spots left

The beginning of the tenth A1 Adria League season in CS:GO is getting closer. We already have four teams who will compete in the league, as well as the two invited teams, who will join the rest. So far teams that made it are Velez Mostar, KATAI, KTRL, and Psihocastic.

Many teams registered for the second CS:GO qualifier, but in the end, KTRL and Psihocastic made it to the top. And I must say it was a well-deserved victory for these two teams. Seeing as the competition is fierce yet again, the winners of this qualifier didn’t have an easy task. I already mentioned in the last article that KTRL on paper looks really dangerous and that we should expect great things from them. Well, it didn’t take them long to prove they are a menace to their opponents, as they already secured the group stage of A1AL. The Romanian organization in its core has great players such as sarenii, dEE and Katalic, who are all well-known names in the region.

On the other hand, Psihocastic also showed an outstanding performance last night. The roster made out of Salted, andr1x, brky, rbfurious, and SkippeR showed their worth by defeating a great team like Cyber Wolves. They defeated the mentioned team in the semifinals with a 2:0 score and took their spot in the group stage.

Only one more CS:GO qualifier is left, and only two more spots in the group stage. If you want to enter the league and compete with the region’s best, sign up NOW!

KATAI and Velez Mostar secured group stage in A1AL

The CS:GO competition officially started yesterday. A little less than 40 teams registered for this qualifier, and we have seen some interesting matches. The teams that were successful and already secured their spot in the group stage in the tenth A1 Adria League season are KATAI and Velez Mostar.

Two more chances remain

Not much has changed this season in the CS:GO competition. Unlike Brawl Stars and FIFA, CS:GO has the overall three qualifier cups. Two teams from each qualifier advance to the next stage of the competition. This week the two teams that came out victorious are KATAI and Velez Mostar. They showed the best performance and can now be at peace until the start of the league.

We have seen some familiar names yesterday during the qualifier such as Cyber Wolves, Jake Bube, KTRL, and many others. Cyber Wolves with their newly signed CS:GO roster managed to reach the 4th round or quarterfinals, before being eliminated by none other than KATAI. Jake Bube is a well-known team that’s being led by Mladen Jurić from Relog Media. This squad is very active lately, and we have had the opportunity to follow them in many tournaments.

KTRL is a Romanian organization that has great potential to make it to the top. Seeing as they acquired many talented players from the region such as Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac. Sarenii is a familiar name in the region, he played for 4glory with whom he won many tournaments including Esport Adria Prvenstvo and Kuvo OneTap in 2021. An ex Zero Tenacity player Dejan “Katalić” Koprivica is also a member of KTRL, as well as Miloš “dEE” Marčeta. With this roster, we can expect a lot from KTRL.

Since the first qualifier is over, there are only two more chances to enter the league. Who will join KATAI and Velez Mostar we will see in our remaining two qualifiers. The second one is scheduled for next Sunday, September 18th, so don’t waste any time, and sign up HERE!

Which CS:GO team is going to take the A1AL trophy this season?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Next weekend the fans will be able to enjoy the best four CS:GO teams fight for the prize and the title of the best team in the ninth season of the A1 Adria League. BLUEJAYS, Blink, 0to100, and Zero Tenacity will battle for the 5000€ prize pool. The semifinals and finals will be played on June 18th and 19th.

Four teams, one trophy!

One of the biggest favorites for winning the title is as expected BLUEJAYS. The Macedonian squad is currently ranked in the top 40 best teams in the world. They keep showing great performance from one tournament to the other. Recently they managed to win third place in CEE Championship, and besides that, they have an IESF World Championship under their name, as well as many other good placements in tournaments. They finished the group stage without a defeat, and a lot is expected from them.

aidkiT: “The fact that we are favorites won’t have any impact on our gameplay. Nowadays Counter-Strike is much more interactive and there are more surprises, so we will just stick to our game. Blink is one of the teams that can make an upset and to play against Oto100 and Zero Tenacity wont be easy either, seeing that both of these teams have good results at the Balkan level.”

The Albanian squad Blink is one of the title contenders this year. Blink led by gulito managed to secure this spot right after BLUEJAYS with a 3:1 score, losing only to the Macedonians. Blink is also a familiar name in the region, we have seen them many times in A1 Adria League and they also have good results in the region. They finished 3rd/4th at the Pinnacle Fall Series #3 which is a great success, and they are the vice-champions of the sixth A1AL season.

gulito: “Group stage went well for us and we were pretty prepared for that results, for the upcoming matches in a playoff we expect a win from our side and hopefully we will try our best in that way as we deserve to win. We are so excited to play in the playoffs and we will be hard opponents for everyone there.”

The last two teams of this year’s CS:GO playoff had a hard fight with each other. 0to100 managed to upset Zero Tenacity at one point, and snatch them the spot in the playoffs. Oto100 secured this stage of the competition with a 3:1 score as well and NENO and the squad will make the end of this tournament very interesting.

Zero Tenacity after their loss to Oto100 had only one more chance to make it to the big stage. They finally did it, and during that journey, they eliminated one of the favorites 4glory. Besides A1AL this squad we could have seen in the tournaments such as Kuvo OneTap and RES, and they have won the second SCL season. Katalić was one of the main reasons this newly formed team is here now.

Katalić: “Our goal is to win the league, and to show that we can play good CS:GO with everyone in the region. The competition is really strong, each team is in a good form, but I think the biggest problem for us could be Oto100. Besides Oto100 I think we can be a serious problem to our opponents because we play without any pressure. We are a new team with a little practice and dangerous aim, and exactly that can give us an edge in 2v5 and 3v5 situations where we can win clutch rounds.”

Oto100 upsets Z10 and advances to playoff!

Another exciting day for CS:GO fans. After intense three maps, we have gotten yet another team that secures their spot in the playoff stage in A1 Adria League. Oto100 joins BLUEJAYS and Blink as the third team in the top 4.

Underdog Oto100 surprised

Last night only one match was played, but it was a biggie. The best-of-three duel between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity went into the hands of the former team who now secured the next stage in the league. Both teams had the same score before this duel, 2:1. This match meant the winner will go to join BLUEJAYS and Blink who already secured the playoff. In the end, Oto100 surprised everyone with their extraordinary performance and with a 2:1 score is now safe in the top 4.

Even though the first map, Inferno, went into the hands of Zero Tenacity, they lost the next two. In the first map for Z10 the best player was Katalić who had 25 frags and carried his team. However he lost focus and underperformed in the last two maps, and it lead to his team losing the match.

On the second map Mirage, we have seen a big comeback from Oto100. Z10 started good on this map and had a big lead, but their opponent managed to come back and the game went into overtime. There Oto100 came on top with Xicoz as the best player. The deciding game was played on Nuke and it was a clear win for Oto100. Z10 totally failed on the third map and eventually Oto with the 16:10 score won the series.

Zero Tenacity has one more chance to secure the playoffs, but it will be a hard task seeing their opponent will be 4glory. This matchup is the last of the group stage, and only one team can move forward!

 

Blink advances to the playoff stage with the win over XTEAM!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The group stage of CS:GO competition in the A1 Adria League is soon coming to an end. Last night the fourth round began and we have already seen two teams get eliminated, while one advanced to the next stage of the tournament. Blink is the second team to secure their spot in the playoff, while two more teams after ghoulsW left the league.

Blink joins BLUEJAYS in the playoffs

Yesterday we have seen two Bo3 matches. The first was between 4glory and Monad eSport, and they played all three maps. Both of these teams before this duel had the same score of 1:2 so this match decided who will stay in the league. 4glory in the end came on top, won the first and third match on Inferno and Dust2, while aVN had the most frags in the whole series, 58 overall.  Monad had a great run and showed decent performance, their main player in this duel was PTKKK who secured them the win on Vertigo, but it still wasn’t enough. They didn’t stand a chance on the third map and are now leaving the A1AL.

The second match of the day was played between Blink and XTEAM. Seeing as Blink had a 2:1 score, and XTEAM had 1:2, these teams fought for different things. Blink needed the win to advance to the playoffs, while XTEAM hoped to stay in the league. Unfortunately for XTEAM, Blink was the one who in the end came out victorious and advanced to the next stage. They are the second team to do that, right after BLUEJAYS.

Things were looking good for XTEAM at the beginning. They won the first match on Ancient, which was in fact Blink’s pick, and it seemed like it would be an easy 2:0 win for Gejmzilla’s squad since the second map was their pick. However, Blink managed to pull a comeback on Vertigo and make sure the game would go to all three maps. Inferno went into overtime, but in the end, with 19:16 gulito’s Blink defeated the opponent. XTEAM is the third team to be eliminated so far.

On Saturday another exciting Bo3 duel is waiting for you. Don’t miss the action between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity!

GhoulsW eliminated from A1AL; Zero Tenacity demolished 4glory

/0 Comments/in , /by

The second part of the third round in CS:GO group stage of the A1 Adria League is finished. Last night’s matches decided who is the first team that we are saying goodbye to. GhoulsW didn’t manage to win against their opponents, and this is where their journey for this season ends.

GhoulsW was eliminated by Monad eSport

Last week in the first part of this round we have seen one team advance to the playoffs. It was BLUEJAYS who with a perfect 3:0 score secured the first spot in CS:GO playoffs in A1 Adria League. This time, however, the Bo3 matchup was for staying in the league. GhoulsW and Monad eSport fought for another chance to improve their score. Before this duel, both teams had a 0:2 score, and this match was decided to see who will stay in our league. Monad didn’t let their opponent breathe, and they didn’t even let it go to three maps. They secured their wins on Vertigo and Mirage, as well as their first win in the league. Mirage was a close one with a 16:13 result, while on Vertigo Monad dominated and won it with only three lost rounds. This is the third loss for ghoulsW and they are eliminated from the league with a 0:3 score.

The other match of the day was Bo1 and it was played between Zero Tenacity and 4glory. Both teams had a 1:1 score before this duel, and the team that put themselves in a great position with a win yesterday was Z10. They stomped their opponent on Mirage, while 4glory was practically invisible. Even though the score was 16:9 the superiority of Zero Tenacity was clear as the day. Nemanha was the best man on the squad with 24 frags.

CSGO round 3 standings

The first part of the third round in the CS:GO group stage is finished. We have seen two pairs of teams compete, while one game was the Bo1, the second was the Bo3 decider match. This duel was played between Blink and BLUEJAYS where the latter came out victorious and secured the spot in the playoffs of the A1 Adria League.

BLUEJAYS gave Blink their first loss

Round 3 started with a duel between Oto100 and XTEAM. Before this game, both teams had the same score of 1:1. The match was played on Inferno and it was Oto100 who defeated their opponents. They were clearly the better team which was shown from their gameplay. XTEAM managed to secure a few rounds, but it was only by sheer luck. It was a dominant performance from Oto100 and this defeat puts XTEAM in a bad position. Their captain gejmzilla had an off game and it is one of the reasons the game ended the way it did. He is usually the carry in this team and always comes on top. Yesterday that wasn’t the case and he had only 8 kills, while he died 20 times. XTEAM now has an overall score of 1:2 and in the next round will fight to stay in the league.

The second match that everyone has been waiting for was the Bo3 duel between BLUEJAYS and Blink. Both teams were defeatless before this round with a 2:0 score. The first map was Ancient and suffice it to say BLUEJAYS won it. It was a dominant performance from the Macedonian squad who hadn’t lost a round on this map. While Blink had only 27 kills, BJ achieved 79, almost three times as much. The second map, Vertigo, however, was much closer. We have seen three overtimes overall. It was an intense match, but in the end, it was BLUEJAYS that won it with a 22:20 score. Dan1 had an amazing performance with 37 frags. This win granted BJ the spot in the playoffs, and they are the first team to secure it with a perfect 3:0 score!

Round 3 CSGO group stage standings

The second part of round 3 will be played on Wednesday. Monad eSport will take on ghoulsW in a Bo3 duel, while 4glory and Zero Tenacity will play only one game. For Monad and ghoulsW this is the last chance because in two days we will say goodbye to one of those teams.
