Who can stop Salada de Frutas in the Brawl Stars group stage?

Six qualifiers ended and eight teams qualified. Who will be the Brawl Stars squads that will advance to the A1 Adria League playoffs?

Salada de Frutas are a class above the competition!

Salada de Frutas had an absolutely flawless qualifying phase this season. With a total of 410 points and four wins in the six qualifiers, the team had no competition during the qualifiers, with their only loss being a forfeit. We can all judge just how better they are by the number of points they got – 410. That is 110  points more than what our second-placed team earned, Omert4. Third on the leaderboard were BalkanTalents, a Brawl Stars squad that had a great start in the qualifiers but failed to reach any higher on the leaderboard. Winx Club, another team that has been putting up great results since the beginning is tied wti hBalkanTalents

Lightning Strike, Mayoi, QuickMind, and Dominjo carry complete the list

A name already familiar on the scene, Mayoi will be making an appearance in the A1 Adria League this season as well. Here we saw another tie and this time around, Mayoi and QuickMind couldn’t overcome each other and ended up with 130 points each. Lightning Strike are right in front of them with a total of 170 points next to their name. Last but certainly not least, Dominjo carry will be fighting for their spot in the playoffs in the upcoming month of SWISS playdays.

Are you ready for the upcoming FIFA22 season?

After the players fought hard to earn points in the qualifying stage, it is time to commence our next phase in the FIFA League – the SWISS group!

amke2001 dominant in the qualifiers; brstimir finished second

Tarik “amke2001” Novo was the absolute best player in the five qualifiers that we hosted for FIFA players. He won second place in the first and fifth qualifiers, while he triumphed in qualifiers 3 and 4. These results earned him 340 points in total, 150 more than the second-placed player, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac. After his victory in the first qualifier, the Serbian player had a string of mediocre results, except his silver medal in the fourth cup.

With 10 and 20 points less than brstimir, respectively, Harun “Hara” Parla and Haris “edenn95” Lukomirak are the next two players on our leaderboard. While Hara gradually earned points during the entire phase, edenn95 managed to overcome all opponents in the very last qualifier and earn the deciding 100 points. His other points came from qualifiers #2 (20) and #3 (50).

DrPecho qualifies for the eighth season!

Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar claimed the eighth place on our leaderboard and will be making an appearance on his second big tournament in a row, after recently playing the fifth FIFA Adria Prvenstvo season. Besides DrPecho, Đorđe “JasikFifa” Cumbo also secured his spot in the league.

When talking about FIFA Adria Prvenstvo S5, we can also mention that Esad “esad1memic” Memić, the winner of the tournament, qualified for the A1 Adria League once again. With his 160 points, he was tied with another countryman of his, Emir “Sulja13” Suljović.

The final standings of the qualifying stage can be seen below:

Five great qualifiers are now behind us. Along with the qualified players, we must congratulate players such as Stefan “HardiFifa” Stojanov, Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi, Luka “Lux” Rade, and many more for being a part of the A1 Adria League. We are now a step closer to crowning our new champions. A SWISS stage which will be played on the newest edition of FIFA, FIFA22, will determine the four players that will play the final four stage. After the groups come to an end, we are expecting a double-elimination bracket. Will amke2001 keep his title, or will a new player climb on top of the region?

SKUAK and iNation have a great day in the CS:GO league!

With a great CS:GO playday behind us, we can conclude the second SWISS round of the season. This time around, iNation and SKUAK were the triumphant teams.

The first match of the day really couldn’t be any closer. We got to watch three long maps with one of them even going to overtime. iNation and BLUEJAYS started this epic duel on Mirage. During the entire BO3, iNation often found themselves on the losing side, and they couldn’t turn it around on Mirage. BLUEJAYS won the very last round of regulation and closed off the map in their favor. Dust2 somehow managed to be even closer than Mirage. 30 rounds weren’t enough to decide the winner and we continued the duel in overtime.

There, the Serbian powerhouse managed to clinch the victory. Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski’s BLUEJAYS squad suffered an uncomfortable loss but were ready to fight back on Inferno. Unfortunately for the Macedonians, iNation were even more ready to secure their second victory for the season. A 16-14 loss for BLUEJAYS means that they are now tied on the SWISS leaderboard (1-1), while iNation are in the lead (2-0).

Our second match of the day which started off-stream was a clash between SKUAK Gaming and JESTE. As Kujtim “gulito” Durmishi recently stated in one of our articles, JESTE were tough opponents and this match went to the third map as well. This time, though, the matches weren’t really close. JESTE bested the Albanian representatives in the league on Dust2 (16-10), while SKUAK came back with a convincing victory on Inferno (16-6). Our second match for today and the last match of this SWISS round ended with a victory for SKUAK.

 After the conclusion of the second SWISS round, the CS:GO leaderboard looks as follows:

CS:GO SWISS 2-2

Harmony and 49% winrate join the qualified LoL teams!

Harmony and 49% winrate managed to triumph in the qualifiers and join Lupus eSports and Metamoon in the upcoming LoL season.

Our second League of Legends qualifier started in the Round of 16. Inferal eSports managed to get a win over Legends, while Harmony outplayed Darkic Narkic. A bit lower in the bracket, Kako god oces scored two victories versus Celijka Mitoza and Water Phoenix Esports and reached the semifinals. There, their final opponents before reaching the A1 Adria League were Harmony. Even though Kako god oces proved to be a challenge for Harmony, the team successfully advanced to the league.

Besides Harmony, our second team to qualify for the eighth season were 49% winrate. A famous name in the region, 49% winrate achieved today’s success at the cost of teams such as Reject, 28 US Marines, and Clouded Leopards Prime. CLP couldn’t defeat 49% winrate but still had a good playday. Names such as Infamous and Delusional randoms lost to them, but the last obstacle was too much for the team. After Lupus and Metamoon also qualified in the first cup, we now have four of the eight required teams to begin our group stage.

OMERT4 conclude the Brawl Stars qualifying stage with a win!

A week later than FIFA, Brawl Stars has also concluded its qualifying phase. Here is what happened in our last qualifier for the season!

BalkanTalentsEsport had a great sixth qualifier. Their first opponents were Ez Clappers, whom BalkanTalentsEsport bested with ease. Next, they faced pop off, another team with a similar number of points. After they won that duel, they were the first team to advance to one of the semifinals, and their final enemies before the grand finals were Dominjo carry. Dominjo carry were ready to make a finals appearance after going throughout the entire qualifier without many problems, but BalkanTalentsEsport stopped them in their tracks.

A thing unseen so far in the eighth season happened today. Salada de Frutas, the absolute favorites of this season, didn’t want to play today and gave free win to Omert4 in the earlier stages of the qualifier. OMERT4 also outplayed Winx Club and Reborn Legends Esports. The final qualifier of this season concluded with a great match between OMERT4 and BalkanTalentsEsport, and together with Inder45, we watched how both teams fought fiercely to get the last 100 points. Omert4 succeeded in defeating BalkanTalentsEsport and claimed the prize in the end.

 

With the qualifying phase coming to an end, we know the eight SWISS stage participants:

CS:GO

Another CS:GO playday is behind us, and what a playday it was. Even though Young Glorians put up a great fight, Marten Gaming comfortably closed out the game 2-0. The real spectacle happened between PORTUGAL and 4glory, with the former winning the BO3 series on Overpass, probably the least played map in the league. Two awesome duels are scheduled to be played on Sunday. JESTE will face the Albanian team SKUAK, while iNation and BLUEJAYS will clash spears in the second series of the day.

This week, we decided to contact Kujtim “gulito” Durmishi, the new SKUAK IGL. gulito talked about his experience in the A1 Adria League as well as the first round of the SWISS stage:

I’ve been playing A1 Adria League for around 3 years, I feel bad that I couldn’t enjoy any trophy for it , but I gained great experience during that time that I participated in A1 Adria League. Anyway we’re still in the tournament with SKUAK and we’ll try our best to make it out to playoffs first and then win it all the way.

About match vs JESTE, I’m thinking that one will be kinda hard, but with the way practice is going for us, it is gonna be a win, they’re strong opponents but we gonna try our best. About the Round 1 match vs iNation we had so many individual mistakes, but we have worked around that and we have prepared so that mistakes like that they don’t happen again, and for the limited time we have had for practice, that’s perfect.

PORTUGAL enter the 2-0 bracket; Marten Gaming earn their first victory!

Marten Gaming, PORTUGAL, and both 4glory squads battled it out in the first playday of our second SWISS round for the season.

Whereas all our matches last Sunday went to three maps, this wasn’t the case today. Safet “giGOD” Čurić and Marten Gaming suceeded in defeating Young Glorians in two maps, Inferno and Mirage. And while we didn’t see a third map, that isn’t to say that the matches weren’t filled with awesome rounds all along. The match on Inferno was a bit shorter than the second one and ended 16-12 in favor of Marten Gaming. Both squads weren’t able to finish the game in regulation on Mirage, so the winner was decided in overtime. A 19-16 victory for Marten secured them their first map after an unusual loss against PORTUGAL in the first round of the season.

When talking about PORTUGAL, it is worth mentioning that their form today was as well last week as it was today. Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and 4glory achieved a dominant win on Inferno, and the Macedonian-majority quintet couldn’t win 10 rounds. dEE’s AWP was absolutely deadly on Mirage as well. 4glory won 10 rounds on the T side and kept their great performance in the second half as well. Andrej “Necrogenes1s” Mancheski tried his best to keep PORTUGAL alive in the game and together with Anel “NENO” Ceković, they achieved just that. After a successful comeback attempt, PORTUGAL closed out the map in their favor and we had the chance to watch Overpass again after a very long time. PORTUGAL won Overpass and became the first team to enter the 2-0 SWISS pool.

With the first half of the second SWISS round behind us, these are the current CS:GO standings:

CS:GO SWISS 2-1

Eight players secure their spot in the FIFA group stage!

The last qualifier of this FIFA season is over. Haris “edenn95” Lukomirak took the main prize and the player list for this SWISS stage is completed.

A smaller number of players signed up for the last qualifier as the top eight players had more-or-less secured their spots in the league. Mostly players who were on the verge of losing their spot played the qualifier, as well as players who needed a small number of points to reach the upper spots in the leaderboard. Robert “rob1” Peršaj lost in the first round. His opponent was Tarik “amke2001” Novo, who went on to win against Esad “esad1memic” Memić in the quarterfinals. Tarik was unstoppable in his part of the bracket and outplayed Emir “Sulja” Suljović in the semis with ease.

Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi was better than Batiii and Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar in the first rounds of today’s bracket. His opponent in the semifinals was edenn95 who surprisedly managed to upset Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac in the first round. The player also defeated Luka “Lux” Rade, and finally bested Sardinho in the semifinals. The Slovenian participant become one of the players in the third-place decider, while edenn95 advanced to the grand finals.

The third place this week went to Sulja, which means that Sardinho213 finished fourth. A huge upset happened in the finals where edenn95 managed to surprise amke2001 and win the game in the very last minute of the second game. These are the eight players that qualified for this season’s group stage:

Lupus eSports and Metamoon are our first two LoL teams!

Lupus eSports and Metamoon outplayed their opponents and became the first two squads in our second League of Legends season for this year.

The qualifying cycle for League of Legends began today. A total of 16 teams met in a single-elimination bracket to fight for the two available spots in the league. After defeating Golden Killer 33 in the first round, Lupus eSports showed that they are better than Taihaku as well and advanced to the semifinals. The first semifinal spot in the upper half of the bracket went ot Metamoon who reached this stage over Clouded Leopards Prime and CATCH THE PIGEON. Their opponents were Harmony, a team that eliminated Split Raiders in the initial round of this qualifier. The other semifinal match was played out between Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party.

Both decider matches were intense duels that saw the best teams win. After two games, Metamoon and Harmony were ready to decide the winner of this semifinal match. That title went to Metamoon, who fought greatly and deservedly snapped the spot. Actually, the second semifinal came to an end first. Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party also played all three games in the semifinals, but Lupus eSports managed to secure their victory a bit earlier than Metamoon. With these matches concluding, we got our two teams in the league. Congratulations Lupus eSports and Metamoon!

Can anybody stop Salada de Frutas’ reign?!

For the fourth consecutive time this season, Salada de Frutas have won the regional qualifier and earned another 100 points on the leaderboard.

Since they started participating in the qualifiers, Salada de Frutas have yet to be defeated. This qualifier, their road to the finals started in the second round where they met last week’s runner-ups, Interventna. It was as if the bracket was purposedly made to make Salada de Frutas playday as hard as possible. Their next opponents were Winx Club, the second-placed team on the leaderboard, while in the semifinals they met Omert4, who are currently third.

Dominjo carry and BalkanTalentsEsport were the two main candidates for the second finals spot. Dominjo carry were better than Reborn Legends Esports and QuickMind, but failed to pass their last challenge before the finals. They were defeated by BalkanTalentsEsport. The latter had a good run against teams such as Twisted Mind, Omerta Blue, and finally Dominjo carry. Salada de Frutas had no problems this time either and easily closed out the final match in their favor.
