The playoffs will be played in The Gauntlet format. The fourth team from the Group Stage will face the third and the winner of that match will play against the runner-up from the Group Stage. Finally, the better team from that match will be able to play versus the first-placed team in the groups, Emperiial.

Every player may participate in two major sets (2v2 and 1v1) and 1 minor set (KOTH). The playoffs players are allowed to change a player in their roster, but the new player mustn’t have played this Group Stage of the league – thus excluding Underdogs and ERN Mobile’s players.

Make sure to tune in tonight at 8 pm and see the best that the regional Clash Royale scene has to offer. See you at the Arena!

The Brawl Stars playoffs are starting tonight!

After seven qualifiers, today is the start of the A1 Adria League Brawl Stars playoffs. The eight best teams from the last weeks will clash in the double-elimination playoffs in which we will crown the champion of the first-ever Brawl Stars season.

Only one more spot remains in the CS:GO playoffs!

The last round of the A1 Adria League begins tomorrow, and for those who didn’t watch the fourth round, here’s a short recap of the Round 4 matches where Juggernauts managed to advance to the playoffs.

Shock bomb were eliminated from the tournament in one of the worst ways possible. On the first map in their match versus Blink, Shock bomb were able to hold their ground and play all 30 rounds of the match before falling short. The same story happened on Train, with Shock bomb once again losing in the last round of regulation. With this win, Blink advanced to the 2-2 pool and will fight Athaim for a spot in the playoffs.

An upset we had the chance to see in the fourth round was GamerS’ dominant victory in their match against Athaim (ex-Karavan). The Macedonian-majority team went 13-2 in the first half of Inferno. They continued the impressive form in the rest of the map and closed it out 16-2. Even though Athaim put up a better fight on Mirage, GamerS1337 were still a level above their opponents and finished this BO3 with a 16-8 win.

We saw another one-sided game between Juggernauts and Gameroids. Gameroids are a team that have a really good Dust2, but that didn’t stop the Serbian powerhouse from destroying them 16-7 and going into Vertigo with a 1-0 lead. Aleksa “Impulse” Stankić had a great game on Vertigo and carried his team to a 16-6 victory on the second map on the series. Juggernauts secured the second spot in the playoffs while Gameroids will have their last qualification chance against GamerS1337 in the fifth round.

In the first match of the fifth round, GamerS1337 managed to secure one of the remaining spots in the playoffs. After a 0-2 start, Blaže “HEv1X” Hristov’s team outplayed Gameroids on both Mirage (22-19) and Dust2 (16-10). This means that we will not be seeing Gameroids compete during this season anymore, and we wish them the best of luck next season!

LA Gaming upset Emperiial, Totem best ERN Mobile in the fifth round!

One more Clash Royale group round is behind us, and this time we finally saw Emperiial fall, while Underdogs managed to lose yet another game without winning a single set.

Emperiial faced the outsiders, Underdogs, in their first match of the fifth round. As everyone expected, Underdogs had no chance and lost the match without winning a single game or set. With this loss, Underdogs have no chance of finishing fifth and will finish this season of A1 Adria League at dead-last, as predicted by most of the regional Clash Royale scene.

The round continued with a duel between ERN Mobile and Totem Esports. We saw another 2-0 set victory with Totem Esports having a one-sided win in the 2v2 mode, and barely managing to squeeze past ERN in the KOTH mode. ERN are currently sitting at fifth while Totem are closely behind Emperiial.

We went all the way in the last game between Emperiial and LA Gaming. Emperiial started the match with a clean victory in the 2v2 games. LA Gaming struck back in the second mode and they became the first team to beat Emperiial after an intense win in the final 1v1 mode. Tocilovac outplayed Super and brought the victory to LA Gaming.

esad1memic and Alpha Elite snatch victories in the sixth qualifiers!

One more A1 Adria League qualifier is all that remains before we advance to the next stage of this season of the League. The favorites prevailed once again in the sixth qualifier and the leaderboard is now nearly completed.

Brawl Stars

Mayoi finished the sixth qualifier a bit earlier than usual, falling to FA Deadly in the quarterfinals. Mayoi are still second in the overall leaderboard, but Good Game have great chances of overrunning them and securing the second spot. Undefeated outplayed Crna ruka, while Good Game came out as the winners in their match versus Pekari. Alpha Elite remained undefeated and proceeded to the semifinals over Easy Win in the last match of the quarterfinals.

In the first semifinal, FA Deadly beat Undefeated without any problems and secured the first spot in the finals. The ex-Good Game 2 team, now playing as Alpha Elite, dominated the Good Game squad and once again entered the finals of the qualifier.

After a win in the Round of 16, brstimir couldn’t get past arminho0307 and finished the sixth qualifier in the top 8. senozabac advanced to the quarterfinals but couldn’t beat rob1 who won this match after beating Hardi in his top 16 matchup. JasikFIFA and lexylexxx met in the fifth round after victories against Brunoh4545 and eldorado2912, respectively.

JasikFifa was the better football player in this game and advanced to the semifinals. In the Bosnian quarterfinal derby between amke2001 and esad1memic, we had the chance to see esad1memic outplay amke and secure the semifinal match against JasikFifa. esad1memic managed to breeze past Jasik, while in the other semifinal, rob1 bested arminho. At the end of the day, Jasik snatched the third place, while esad1memic finished the qualifier as the champion.

QSKE are going to the playoffs; odred otpisanih eliminated

As we are approaching the fourth SWISS round of A1 Adria League, let’s take a look at what happened in the last two playdays.

Athaim (ex-Karavan) managed to upset yet another favorite in an intense Train match. This time, Blink was the team that couldn’t handle Filip “DEPRESHNN” Jarkić’s troops and Athaim are now a victory away from the playoffs. The match between GamerS1337 and odred otpisanih was cancelled due to odred otpisanih not being able to have all five players available on time.

The second playday of the third round saw Juggernauts take on Shock bomb on Mirage. The ex-Juggernauts player, Luka “c0llins” Živanović wasn’t able to stand up to his old teammates and lost the match 9-16. The Shock bomb players were able to get back in the game after a shaky start, but they couldn’t show up in the second half and gave a point to the current champions.

In the first BO3 match of the league, QSKE Gaming faced Gameroids in the 2-0 pool match. Gameroids started the series dominantly with a 16-6 victory on Dust2. QSKE didn’t stand a chance on Gameroids’ map pick, but they managed to bounce back on Nuke with a close 16-14 win. The last map, Overpass, went in favor of Gameroids in the first half. Even though Gameroids had a five-round advantage, the Macedonian squad had a perfect T-side and closed out the match without losing a single round (Overpass – 16-10).

Emperiial remain undefeated after the fourth Clash Royale round!

Before the start of the fifth Clash Royale round, let’s take a quick look at last week’s results and performances from all the teams.

This playday was a bit shorter than the previous ones and only two matches were played. We had the chance to see Totem Esports take on Crusher Esports in the first game of the night. The 2v2 games were one-sided in favor of Totem Esports who managed to get a set without any problems. The guys from Crusher won one game in the KOTH set, but Totem quickly closed out the set and the whole game with a clean 2-0 victory.

Emperiial who are currently leading the charts in Clash Royale faced ERN Mobile in the fourth round of Clash Royale. After Emperiial beat ERN in the 2v2 set, they were nearly able to win KOTH as well, but ERN denied their comeback in the last game of the KOTH set. In the end, Destroyer was ironically destroyed by Super who took the victory point for his team.

In the next round that is starting tonight, we will see Emperiial-Flayn play against Underdogs and LA Gaming, and ERN Mobile will face Totem Esports between the aforementioned two matches.

rob1 and Alpha Elite continue dominating in the fifth qualifier!

Only two Brawl Stars & FIFA A1 Adria League qualifiers remain before the second stage of the League. Alpha Elite and rob1 once again destroyed the competition and further strengthened their place on the top of the leaderboard.

Brawl Stars

QSKE Gaming’s Brawl Stars team ended the fifth qualifier in the Round of 16 after a loss to FA Deadly. Good Game bested ULC eSports and Free Agents outplayed Team Placenici without much trouble. Banda Kasharit managed to breeze past Crna ruka, while Easy Win won their match versus APOLLO. In the quarterfinals of the qualifier Alpha Elite once again went to the semifinals after a victory against Banda Kasharit. FA Deadly won their duel against MarkoYouTube’s Free Agents and in the last quarterfinal match, Good Game advanced to the semis over Predators.

The first semifinal saw Alpha Elite take a 3-0 victory versus Easy Win. After Mayoi were eliminated earlier in the competition, this served as an ideal chance for Alpha Elite to finally take that first place on the leaderboard. FA Deadly had a stellar performance in their 3-1 victory versus Good Game and secured the second finals spot. Alpha Elite once again topped the qualifiers and added another 100 points next to their name.

Alpha Elite are now in the charge of the Brawl Stars leaderboard with 300 points while Mayoi are close second with 280. Free Agents and Good Game are still pretty close to the first two teams, with 270 and 235 points, respectively. Easy Win are close behind these two, while FA Deadly and So Bad are falling behind more and more every qualifier.

rob1 won the second qualifier in a row after victories against Harun and arminho0307. Harun, who lost the semifinal match against rob1 managed to finish 3rd after a win versus Cano 19 11 in the third-place decider.

QSKE and Gameroids are a step closer to the CS:GO playoffs!

The second round of the A1 Adria League CS:GO SWISS stage went underway on Sunday and the teams with best performances managed to secure a spot in the 2-0 bracket.

The playday started with a 1-0 match between QSKE Gaming and Karavan. After two clean victories in the first round, the teams went all out in their road to the 2-0 pool and a step closer to the playoffs. QSKE had a dominant start and were a level above Karavan during the bigger part of the match, but as the end drew near, Karavan started coming back and won seven rounds in a row. The match went from a 14-7 QSKE lead to an intense 14-14 game where the Macedonian squad managed to barely slip past and take the win with a 16-14 score.

After a surprising loss in the first round, Juggernauts had a sudden change before the start of the second playday. David “devoduvek” Dobrosavljević will not play the remainder of the League with Juggernauts with the coach Darko “soLo” Mitić standing in in his place. This change didn’t present a problem for Juggernauts and they obliterated Odred otpisanih 16-2 on an unusual map pick, Vertigo. This loss sent Odred otpisanih to the 0-2 pool and a step closer to elimination.

Gameroids and Shock bomb went into the 1-0 match after two close victories against Blink and GamerS1337, respectively. The game on Dust2 was pretty close during the first half, but Gameroids started increasing their lead on the defense and quickly won the match 16-10. Gameroids became the first team to secure a spot in the 2-0 part of the League, and they will fight for the first spot in the playoffs in their next match against QSKE Gaming.

Blink learned their lesson in the first match and went into their second game as a completely different team. Blaže “HEv1X” Hristov and GamerS1337 had no chance against the Kosovar squad and they found themselves at a 2-13 disadvantage at the end of the first half. The GamerS tried to win some rounds and get a good streak going on, but after reaching their 9th round, Blink closed out the game and the second A1 Adria League CS:GO playday.

Emperiial take the lead in the third Clash Royale round!

The third round of Clash Royale continued during the last week with most of the favourites securing more points on the leaderboard.

In the first match of the day we saw LA Gaming face the outsiders, Underdogs. Andreii’s Underdogs actually managed to win one match in the 2v2 game, but the set went to LA Gaming. After the 2v2 games, LA Gaming didn’t have much trouble versus Underdogs. They successfully secured the KOTH set and won the whole match.

Things were much more interesting in the duel between Emperiial and Totem Esports. Emperiial had a dominant start and won the 2v2 set with ease. Totem took the KOTH set after being down 1-2 at one point but even that wasn’t enough for them to win the whole match and the team lost the final 1v1 set.

LA Gaming played once again in the last match of the day. Their opponents, Crusher Esports easily bested LA Gaming when talking about 2v2, but LA Gaming managed to sweep KOTH and bring the game to the third and last set. After a tough 1v1 set, Bruno Blaze and Crusher Esports came out victorious and secured the second spot on the Clash Royale leaderboard.
