Check out the key victories as teams and players aim for TOP 4 stage in the 14th season of A1AL

October 20, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

Another group stage round is behind us, and we are very close to the finale and the LAN event. A1AL competitors in the 14th season are giving their best to secure the top four and their spot in the LAN. However, the competition is fierce, and only the best will be able to advance to the playoffs. Check out who was victorious this weekend in CS2, Brawl Stars, EAFC25, and FC Mobile.

Frutas and 76ers are only one win away from the TOP 4

Two teams are in a very good spot after the first two rounds of the SWISS group stage in the A1AL Brawl Stars competition. Moreover, Frutas and the 76ers were victorious two times, and they now need only one more win to advance further into the competition. This was expected, considering Frutas is defending the title, and the 76ers team is our vice-champions from the 13th season.

This weekend the first match was Frutas vs Delulu, teams that celebrated in the first round against their opponents with a 3:0 victory. There was a lot to expect from this match. However, even though they were underdogs, Delulu played very good matches against the favorites Frutas and managed to win one set showing their quality and determination. In the end, they fell in the 4th set on Gem Grab. We can expect much more from Delulu, as they have proven to be a TOP 4 material.

The second game of the day was FBI vs Maestros, a team that got into the group stage as a replacement. Unfortunately for the Maestros, I have to say the result was expected. The team that was there as a substitute did not manage to organize well for today’s playday and the FBI took advantage of that and beat them 3:0 without any problems, dominating each set.

La Masia and Team Cherry were the highlight of the second BS group stage round. It was a match to remember. Apart from being the closest in ranking (7th and 8th seed), these two teams are dead even in skill as well. Right from the first match at the Hot Zone, it was clear that we were in for a very tense match because none of the teams wanted to go to a 0-2 score. This would greatly hinder their chances of passing. Every game mode was tense and the forces of who was stronger were constantly changing. In the end, Brawl Ball decided the result. There Team Cherry equalized in the last seconds for Overtime and managed to defeat La Masia.

The last match of the day was played between the 76ers and Gospodin Adry. Maybe a little disappointment today from the latter, considering their performance through the qualifiers, I really expected a lot more. Vice-champions 76ers (ex OOB1) showed why they are favorites with Frutas and by dominating each set they secured a safe and realistically easy victory against their opponents.

Lazar shines as A1AL MVP in dominant group D performance

Last week four players secured the next stage of the A1AL competition in FC Mobile. From group A SPK_Somzi and RAB_MahirSarajlic advanced, and from group B it was FE_Shaq and Alen who bested their opponents. This weekend matches from groups C and D were played. Four players joined the victors from groups A and B thus completing the TOP eight in FC Mobile.

In the second round again 24 matches were played in which we saw 84 goals. In Group C Nikolas7, former A1 Adria League caster took first place, although he did not start as planned. He lost the first match 2:0 against BUD_skrebo98, but after that, he didn’t lose a single match. Nikolas accumulated 13 points and placed first, while Jahaa acquired 12 points and as a second seed secured TOP 8. He was the surprise of the whole tournament. Jahaa entered the decisive matches with Nikolas with four victories, but he stayed there. Nikolas won in both matches.

In group D, we saw total dominance by BUD_lazar, who is also the MVP of this round with 18/18 points. He didn’t lose or draw a single match and his stats are insane. Lazar scored 16 goals, conceded only three, and made 22 shots out of which 21 were on target (95.45% accuracy). This player had an average of 49.32% possession per game while maintaining an impressive 92.82% pass accuracy. Furthermore, in group D, SPK_SavaZver finished second with seven points respectively.

Here are the TOP 8 players in EAFC25

The second group stage round brought us matches that decided who was going to proceed to compete in the league this season. After all the matches finished we got the best eight players. Three players from Group D had the same amount of points (9), so additional matches had to be played. Furthermore, the biggest surprise of this stage was probably GAME ON Marac, the defending champion, who only acquired four points and placed last in his group. This means that the 14th season will have a new champion!

On stream, we had a chance to watch six games in the EAFC25 competition. The first match of the day between the undefeated Brstimir and Misko ended with a 2:1 win for the latter. Misko finished the job already in the first half with a two-goal lead. Brstimir tried to get back into the match with a goal by Gullit in the 69th minute, but in the end, he still lost.

The second match of the day, between Maksa and CLA Tuna, was quite one-sided since it ended with a score of 3:0 for Maksa. Tuna had opportunities but did not use them even for an honorable goal. The third match of the day was supposed to be Jasik and CLA Th3Prod1gy but since they could not go through to the second stage and this match had no impact, they gave up. So, we watched AmcoS and Matket. AmcoS once again was great in the final minutes of the match. It was 1:1 almost until the end and then in the photo finish, AmcoS scored a goal in the 90th minute to win!

The 4th match of the day was Maksa again, but this time versus GAME ON Marac. Maksa was the last from the playoffs to go through the qualifications, but that didn’t stop him from holding a lesson today against last season’s champion Marac with a score of 6:1! Amazing performance indeed.

The 5th match of the day was played between Hara and Fika. Hara demolished his opponent Fika with a 5:1 score. The players were in the mood this round to score a lot of goals, and we have seen many interesting matches. Furthermore, in the last match of the day Hara had another duel. This time he was fighting Teo. Teo quickly led 2:0 in the first half and until the end, Hara did not manage to come back. He only scored an honorable goal by Cruyff in the 78th minute ending the game 2:1.]

CS2 teams Baklava Gaming and GOT snatch their first A1AL group-stage wins

In the third round of the CS2 group stage of the 14th A1AL season, we saw two duels between teams with a 0:1 score. The first duel was played between GOT and Max team where GOT celebrated with a 2:0 win. In the second match, Baklava Gaming took on Diamant Esports and won 2:1.

The first game that GOT and their opponent played started on Ancient. It was a very tense first map, in which we constantly watched the change of the leading team. Max Team often had the advantage and opportunities to perfect the match. They reach a 10:8 lead, but that’s where it stops. GOT had a blast on the CT side and managed to finish the map at 13:10.

In the second game, GOT starts phenomenally on the T side of Anubis with a score of 5:1. Zecco wakes up in that round and finds two amazing kills and an ace with Deagle, but that didn’t last long. In the next round, GOT continues its dominance and goes to the half to a 9:3 lead. They do not stop, as Max Team takes only one round in the second half. Eventually, GOT takes the win with a score of 13:4.

The second duel was played on all three maps (Anubis, Ancient, Dust 2 – decider). Another very close match on Anubis started off the duel between Baklava and Diamant. Baklava started fantastically with a 4:0 score. After Diamant took one round, RiiL3 has a fantastic 2v1 clutch. At the end of the half, the score was 6:6, where Diamant scored five rounds to get even and take the lead. Baklava Gaming follows them and on the wings of RiiL3 and on the mistakes of Diamant they come to a victory of 13:10.

On Ancient both teams were in the lead for a little while. A handful of rounds in which the team with weaker weaponry manages to win the round. With a 10:9 score, Baklava took the lead. Libra had a fantastic clutch to bring the score back to 10:10 and Baklava was in trouble because they had to go eco. Diamant took advantage of that and went to a 12:10 score. After that. Baklava won the round and sent Diamant into trouble. They didn’t have a full buy, but they outplayed Baklava and took the map from them with 13:10.

We saw on the A1AL stream a complete dominance of Baklava on Dust2. Diamant practically wasn’t on the server as their opponents didn’t let them play. On the CT side, Baklava stopped everything that Diamant threw in front of them. They managed to collect four rounds in the first half (8-4). After that, Diamant couldn’t win a single round and Baklava won 13:4. Also in the end T0mann gave us a fantastic 1v3 clutch.

What A1AL pros play in their free time

October 11, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

Esports as an industry can be very demanding and pro players spend every second of their time improving and mastering their game. However, beneath the surface of intense training, some players like to unwind and relax with a different game. We asked our A1 Adria League participants if they play a game in other genres, which games they play, and why. Read on to learn more about some of A1AL’s competitors in Brawl Stars, CS2, EAFC, and FC Mobile.

Somzi and Nikolas talk about their FC Mobile’s nostalgic beginnings

Two of our best players in the 14th A1 Adria League season after the qualifiers are Nikola “Nikolas7” Seočanac and Miša “SPK_somzi” Todorović. I sat down with them and we talked about the importance of FIFA for both of these players.

I’m currently competing in EA FC Mobile, a game I discovered about five years ago. I was most impressed by the concept of the game, as well as the community where I met many good players with whom I played many nice matches in various tournaments. The biggest advantage of this game is that I can play anywhere using only my phone.

Apart from EA FC Mobile, I spent a lot of time playing CS 1.6 and CS: GO, where one of my favorite moments was when we won the gaming room for our faculty. I am also a big fan of sports games such as Football Manager, NBA, PES, and EA FC. One interesting thing is that I still remember part of the CD-KEY for FIFA 2004, said Somzi from Spartak Subotica eSport.

Nikolas7 also shared a part of his humble beginnings and a lot of us can relate to his experience.

It simply had to be a football game! I’ve been a fan of football pictures ever since I was little, and I spent every penny on opening bags looking for toothy Ronaldo, as we called him at the time, to finally finish the album. After that, we would all go and play football together outside, trade duplicate cards while being all muddy. The reflection of these childhood memories I saw in EA FC games, but of course now there is little time for the platform so we play the mobile version wherever we go.

However, ideally, it still reminds of collecting your favorite cards by creating your unique dream team and competing with others, and making new friendships along the way. Finally, I would like to wish all the participants of the top 16 phase good luck and encourage new ones to join next season as well, said this Youtuber, A1AL player and ex caster.

Nemanja Misko dedicated to the A1AL

Another football game in our arsenal is of course EAFC which has been featured in the A1AL since the fifth season. And so far one of the best, who finished first in the qualifiers, is Nemanja “Nemanja_Misko” Mišić. He told me that he only plays EAFC and that the A1 Adria League encourages him to do so even more.

I started playing FIFA from a young age. I was 7 years old. My dad bought me my first FIFA and from then on I had a desire to win tournaments and competitions. A few years ago, I started playing this game seriously and competitively, and the first serious tournament was the A1 Adria League. I have a clear goal in front of me and I fantasize and dream about becoming the best in the world one day.

There were a lot of difficult moments and losses, but if I’ve learned something in life, it’s that you should never give up and always push on and give your best. I would like to one day lift the A1 Adria league cup and in the future continue to play the best I can and achieve all my dreams and goals.

CS2 and BS pro players share their gaming focus

Apart from EAFC, a CS2 player and a member of team Kubix Atif “gejmzilla” Mustafa also gave his short comment on what he does in his free time.

I only play Sid Meier’s Civilization VI apart from CS. I like the game a lot and it helps me take a break from CS from time to time – short and direct from gejmzilla!

Furthermore, I wanted to know what Nikola “DzonDzon” Brajković, one of the most successful Brawl Stars players in A1AL, plays and his view on this. As you know, Frutas has been dominating the regional scene for quite a few years, and they don’t look like they are anywhere near the end. So when DzonDzon told me he is dedicated only to Brawl Stars I wasn’t surprised.

Most of the time I only play Brawl Stars because to be the best and among the best, you have to be active and dedicated to only one thing, so I don’t really have time to play anything besides that. I’m not a big fan of games in general, but Brawl Stars offered something that I hadn’t had the chance to play on a tablet before, said our seven time A1AL winner.

14th A1AL season kicks off: Qualifiers wrap up and top teams emerge

October 6, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The league can finally start! The qualifiers of the 14th A1 Adria League season are over in all our main games. While CS2 already began the group stage part of the competition, Brawl Stars, EAFC24/25, and FC Mobile competitors can do that next week. The best have secured the top 16 or top 8 in the A1AL, depending on the game and the competition is as fierce as ever. Read on to learn what happened in the fourth and last qualifiers and who made the cut.

Frutas move to A1AL groups as first place

It sounds like the 14th season of A1AL had some intense matchups! In the fourth A1AL qualifier in the Brawl Stars competition, FBI really made waves by defeating top teams like Team Cherry, La Masia, and OMERTA, proving they had what it takes to compete at a high level. Their journey to the playoffs was certainly impressive.

On the other hand, Salada showed remarkable consistency, bouncing back strong after their previous loss to the 76ers. Winning every match 2:0 leading up to the final showcases their dominance, and defeating the 76ers 3:0 must have felt like a statement victory.

The final between FBI and Salada was a thrilling matchup. Although FBI had a fantastic run, Salada’s experience and skill ultimately led them to victory with a solid 3:1 finish. It’s always exciting to see how these tournaments unfold, especially with such fierce competition!

After all four qualifiers, Salada came on top and ended this stage with 77 points, followed by the 76ers with 55, Gospodin Adry with 30, and the FBI with 20 respectively. Other teams that also made it through are Delulu, OMERTA, Team Cherry, and La Masia.

Nikolas with 300 points advances to the group stage in FC Mobile

The fourth qualification round of FC Mobile was filled with unparalleled excitement, featuring unexpected twists and thrilling moments. During the stream, SPK_somzi emerged victorious, where casters famously stated that it was “better to lose against him than to lead.” Remarkably, he staged comebacks in every match he lost during the top 8 stages, securing him the second spot in the final standings, just behind Nikolas7, who missed the chance to become the first player to win two qualifying tournaments.

Finishing in third place was Nedox, who eliminated two-time champion SHAQ in the quarter-finals. Rounding out the top four was RAB_MahirSarajlić, who struggled to recover from the defeat dealt by Somzi in the semi-finals. These qualifiers were really tough for all players as there were a whopping 260 players signed up. In the end, the ones who showed consistency and great performance throughout this whole qualification stage made it to groups.

Nikolas secured groups with 300 points in the first place, followed by Somzi with 280, Lazar from Buducnost with 270, and our two-time A1AL champion SHAQ with 220. Their place in the best 16 of FC Mobile also found Iky, Haverz, Skrebo, and HugoBoss. For the top 16 follow our social media accounts where there will be more updates!

These are the best eight EAFC players in the A1AL

Though the qualifier featured a smaller player pool, the competition was fierce. As this was the final qualifier, the pressure was immense for those still vying for a spot. CLA_Banderas proved that his impressive performance in last season’s finale was no fluke. Ante “CLA_Banderas” Tolj once again secured his spot among the top competitors. He won the fourth qualifier and 100 points securing his place in groups.

Players like Djordje “Jasik” Cumbo seized this last opportunity, but it came as a shock when regional champion Tarik “Novo” Novo and top contender Filip “Cyber_Fico” Babić, who has been in great form in international tournaments, failed to make it into the top 16.

Now that all the qualifiers are finished the top spot went into the hands of Nemanja Misko who has 130 points overall. He is followed by CLA_TheProdigy with 120 points, and Game On Marac, CLA_Banderas, and Hara, all with 110 points. Their spot in the top eight also secured 10th A1AL champion Gruby, our veteran brstimir, and AmcoS.

We will look forward to the final list of the best 16 competitors and the upcoming group stage draw. Additionally, we’re gearing up for EAFC25, which is set to bring numerous changes.

Z10 and 0 to 100 snatch first wins in CS2 group stage

As CS2 competition only had three qualifiers their group stage began one week earlier. We saw two duels this Sunday. One was played between team 0 to 100 and MAX Team (previously GornjiDonji), while the other was Zero Tenacity vs GOT.

The day kicked off with an exciting BO3 match between the 0 to 100 team and MAX team. After each team secured their picks on Mirage and Anubis, the final showdown took place on Dust2. Despite missing their captain Neno, 0 to 100 dominated the match, finishing with a 13:5 victory and sending MAX team to the lower bracket. Team 0 to 100 was very dominant in their victories, besides the mentioned 13:5 victory they won the first map with 13:6. On the other hand, MAX’s victory was a lot closer with a 13:9 score.

The second BO3 of the day featured a surprisingly strong challenge from the GOT team, but Z10 ultimately showcased their skill by securing a 2-0 victory. With final scores of 13:7 and 13:10, it was clear that Zero 10 isn’t unbeatable, leaving room for other teams to find opportunities against them. Unfortunately for the determined GOT team, they will need to continue their campaign through the lower bracket.

Next week we will continue with the CS2 group stage matches, so stay tuned and don’t forget to follow our streams on YouTube and Twitch!

Last two CS2 teams secure groups in the A1AL qualifier showdown!

September 30, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The qualifiers in the 14th season of the A1 Adria League are almost over. The third A1AL qualifiers were played in Brawl Stars, EAFC24, FC Mobile, and CS2. Every game, excluding CS2, has one more qualifier left. CS2 has now gotten the last two teams (out of six) that will compete in the group stage, alongside two invited teams. Read on to learn the results of the qualifier and find out who scored the maximum points.

76ers reverse sweep Frutas and take 20 points

This is the first qualifier where Frutas didn’t take maximum points this season. They made it to the finals again but were unsuccessful and the 76ers took that advantage. The battle in this qualifier was really intense and we saw once again many familiar names and teams.

The intensity has risen from the battle between the FBI and the 76ers. There the latter won with a 2:0 score. In the next round, they fought team Tatini Sinovi and won with the same score. In the semis, the 76ers’ opponents were Team Cherry. This team didn’t give a lot of trouble to the 76ers and they won easily with a 3:0 score advancing to the finals.

On the other side of the bracket, Frutas once again without problems reaches the finals. They defeated Cro Warriors, Omerta, and then in the semifinals Delulu without a lost match. The finals were the most interesting match of the qualifier, the 76ers and Frutas clashed again, but the ending wasn’t the same as last time when Frutas came out victorious. Frutas started great and won the first two matches, however, the 76ers woke up in the third match. They won that one and two more, reverse-sweeping their opponents and taking the first qualifier in this season.

In the overall score, Frutas is still the best A1AL team with 55 points, and they are closely followed by 76ers with 40 points. The last qualifier will be played on October 4th and you can sign up for it HERE!

BUD Lazar takes the lead in the third A1AL qualifier in FC Mobile

The third qualifier was marked by a record of 254 registered players, by a new game, FC Mobile 2025 but with old lineups, and by new players who were a real refresher for the top 8 phase. The biggest surprise was our defending champion SHAQ who lost in the top 16 phase. This A1AL qualifier also showed us that there are about 40 players who are all on the same level of skill and can win the league and be even with SHAQ.

BUD_lazar and HRD_Iky played a historic final, the player from Buducnost Esports Lazar was better with a 2:1 victory over the player from Croatian Dragovoljac eSport Iky. BUD_Havertz took third place and the debutant in the semi-finals of the qualifiers TaleTopG took fourth place. The newcomers Vuk from Spartak Esports and Crnkula, MahirSarajlić from Rabotnički eSports, and Q2 finalist Skrebo98 placed from 5-8 places.

After this qualifier Lazar took 180 points, Iky 100, followed by Haverz with 80. In the overall score, however, Lazar took the lead and the first spot. He now has 250 points, followed by Nikolas7 with 200, and SHAQ with 190. The fourth qualifier will be spectacular as these players will try their best to get the spot in the next stage. You can sign up for the fourth FC Mobile qualifier, which will be played on October 5th, HERE!

The third EAFC24 qualifier wasnt enough for familiar A1AL names to secure next stage

The third qualifier was full of well-known players in the A1 Adria League. Such a strong competition meant that some of the favorites had to finish the qualifier quicker than the rest. Novo and Cyber Fico lost in the second round, while Hara and Jasik lost in the third one. One of the more successful players was Misko who we are seeing on stream more and more which means he is securing top spots recently. CLA organization made its appearance again with multiple players one of which even won the qualifier and took 100 points.

CLA_Th3Prod1gy made it to the finals. He had 0 points before this and now he found his form and reached the top spot. His opponent in the finals was none other than Misko. However, the former was more successful and won the game with a 2:0 score.

In the overall score now with only one qualifier left, Misko is in first place with 130 even though he didn’t win a single qualifier. He is followed by CLA_Th3Prod1gy with 120 in second, Gruby and brstimir in third with 100 points, and Marac and AmcoS in fourth with 90 respectively.

Nothing is decided yet, the situation on the table is very close and the fourth qualifier will decide everything. Sign up for the last EAFC24 qualifier now by clicking HERE!

Two last spaces in the CS2 group stage filled

The last CS2 qualifier was more interesting than ever. Some A1AL teams who were already seen in previous qualifiers signed up again but were unsuccessful. Such teams were Cupava Veverica, who was close each time, Superior Esports, vice-champions of the 13th season, Team Secret, MainStack and many more. Those who were victorious and showed supremacy are BAKLAVA gaming and Juggernauts. They were the fifth and sixth teams who secured groups. No spots are left as the qualifiers are over!

The whole day Juggernauts team was superior on their side of the bracket. Firstly, they eliminated the Balkan Vikings with a swift 13:1 win. After that, they clashed with PUGSTRZ and won that game with a 13:10 score. The final obstacle was Cupava Veverica, but they won that duel with a 2:1 score making it to groups. We saw all three maps and on Nuke, which was the decider, Juggernauts were a better team.

On the other side of the bracket, the strongest team was BAKLAVA gaming. They eliminated MainStack before facing the team MAPOGOS in the bo3 duel. That match was not that challenging for BAKLAVA as they won it 2:0.

Stay tuned for more information on the CS2 group stage and the reveal of two invited teams who will join the six qualified.

Qualified teams:

BAKLAVA gaming
Juggernauts
Diamant Esports
GornjiDonji

GOT

A1AL S14 is already halfway through the qualifiers! Sign up and compete now!

September 23, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The second qualifiers are over in Brawl Stars, EAFC24, FC Mobile, and CS2. The 14th A1AL season is more competitive than ever and we never had this many signed-up players, especially in EAFC games. A whopping prize pool is waiting for the best at the end of the road. There isn’t much time to waste as we are already halfway through the qualifiers. Read on to learn who earned points this weekend and which teams secured the spot in the playoffs of the A1 Adria League.

Frutas continues their A1AL domination

Exciting second qualifiers in Brawl Stars. One side of the bracket was very intense, while on the other one, Frutas swiped everyone in their way. Some new teams made it to the top 8 this time and earned their first points. The first intense match was between Team Cherry and FBI, both of which competed in the previous season. FBI already had 5 points from Q1, and now with the win over their opponents, they have 10 and are in third place alongside two other teams.

However, after defeating Team Cherry, the FBI ran into Gospodin Adry. The latter proved to be superior and snatched a 2:1 win advancing to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Delulu made a lot of problems for Gospodin Adry and the series went into all five matches. The victor in the end was Gospodin Adry who secured their first qualifier finals in the A1AL. And who was waiting there… Of course, it was Frutas.

Frutas’ road to finals was pretty straightforward and they dominated the bracket again. The semifinals was a swift 3:0 win against the 76ers, as well as the finals where Frutas took another 20 points defeating Adry 3:1. Furthermore, it would have been 3:0 there as well if Frutas wasn’t trying out some off-meta picks. They now have 40 overall, followed by the 76ers and Gospodin Adry with 25 respectively.

The third qualifier will be played next Friday, September 27th, and you can sign up for it HERE!

SHAQ wins the second FC Mobile qualifiers in the A1AL

FC Mobile is going strong in the A1 Adria League. Even more players signed up for the second qualifiers. Out of 229 players, the best one was our defending champion SHAQ.
Just like in the first qualifier, there were no surprises in the first rounds. Favorites justified their role and advanced further into the competition. Interestingly, none of the top 4 players from the first qualifier (Nikolas7, HugoBOSS, Jaha, and Hrd_Iky) made it far and we didn’t have a chance to watch them on stream. The highest place out of the mentioned four went into the hands of Nikolas7, and even he only got to the TOP 32 where he lost to Alen. The latter was one of the new players who showed great performance. He placed fourth in Q2 and won 50 points.

On the other hand, as expected SHAQ won the most points followed by Skrebo98 from Buducnost with 100 points and Somzi from Spartak with 80 points. However when we take a look at the overall score SHAQ and Nikolas7 are sharing the top spot with 190 points, while HugoBOSS and Skrebo are sharing second place with 100 points.

The third A1AL FC Mobile qualifier will be played on the 28th of September, so don’t miss it. You can sign up for it by clicking on this LINK!

Brstimir emerges victorious and wins 100 points in EAFC

The second qualifier brought us some new players in the EAFC24 competition. Besides them, some familiar names also showed up such as Gruby, TheProdigy from the CLA organization, Hara, brstimir, and many more. Out of almost 45 players, brstimir was the best in this qualifier and he deservedly won maximum points.

The biggest surprise of the qualifier was probably our S10 champion and the winner of the first qualifier, Gruby, who was defeated in the very first round. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any points but with the previous 100 he is still in a very good spot and we will probably see more of him in the group stage.

TheProdigy did much better and managed to get to the quarterfinals but he got eliminated by Fika, who then got defeated by a Bosnian player AmcoS who qualified for the finals. A great performance from AmcoS was seen as he was getting ready to face our A1AL veteran brstimir.

The first match in the finals was a big win for brsitmir. He scored two goals at the start and with a steady performance won the first game with 5 goals in the net. Second game started similarly as brstimir scored two quick goals again before the 11th minute. However, AmcoS wasn’t going to let him win easily and he really tested brstimir’s defense. In the 85th minute of the match, he scored his first goal, and almost evened out the score in the 93rd minute, but hit the bar.

Now, brstimir and Gruby are in the first spot with 100 points, defending champion Marac and AmcoS are second with 70, followed by Nemanja_Misko with 60 points respectively.

Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji qualify for the CS group stage

In the first qualifier, the two qualified teams were Oto100 and GOT. Now two more joined the group stage. Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji succeeded in making it to the qualifiers finals and securing participation in the league. But let’s see how their journey went.

Diamant Esports showed outstanding performance in this qualifier. They played the deciding best-of-three match against team Neugodni. The first map went into the hands of Neugodni who won 13:8 on Mirage. After that on the Diamant’s map pick, it was 13:10 for the Diamant, but it wasn’t an easy game at all. Neugodni almost came back and took the game for themselves. However, they couldn’t make it in the end which evened out the score. The deciding map was Dust2 where a similar situation occurred. Diamant dominated the first half when on the wings of Fixedinho, Neugodni returned to the game. But once again it wasn’t good enough and the game ended with the same score 13:10.

GornjiDonji also didn’t have many problems throughout the bracket. The only obstacle on their way should have been Cupava Veverica. However, they ended that match with a superiority and a 13:4 score. In their Bo3 match, GornjiDonji was against MainStack. The latter showed a good performance on Anubis and almost won, but GornjiDonji in the end prevailed and ended the first map with a 13:10 score. If the first match was a real nailbiter, the second one, on Ancient, was completely one-sided. GornjiDonji didn’t let their opponent breathe and demolished them pretty quickly, ending the game with a 13:1 score.

Teams who still haven’t qualified will have the last chance to do so on the 29th of September. CS2 competition only has three qualifiers, and there are only two spots left now. Hurry up and sign up for it HERE!

Best of A1AL – The most successful players and teams!

September 19, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, CS:GO, CS2, Dota2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, F1 22, Fortnite, Hearthstone, LoL, News, PUBG, Trackmania, VALORANT /by galadriela

The A1 Adria League has existed since 2017, and since then, we have hosted 13 seasons, while the 14th is ongoing. Many talented teams and players have competed in more than 10 games overall. If you’ve ever wondered who won the most trophies, who was most consistent, and who noted down the most TOP4 appearances, the answer is right below. Keep reading to find out who the best of the best are in the A1 Adria League.

Most rewarded CS2 competitors in the A1AL

Since CS2 or CS: GO, whichever you prefer, has been our main game since A1AL’s inception, we can start with our best shooters. Firstly, I have got to say that there have been many successful teams over the years that are worth mentioning. As you all remember first two A1AL seasons were won by Valiance, while KlikTech made it to top 4. In those early days, Level Up Esports, Blink, and Team uNIQUE also showed their supremacy. Furthermore, Portugal, iNation, 4glory, and BLUEJAYS were all big regional names that competed in A1AL and secured high spots.

If we fast forward to Season 9 Zero Tenacity starts their reign. Even though that season they placed second, the next three they won without much resistance becoming back to back to back champions. Precisely because Z10 won three consecutive trophies, it’s our most rewarded team ever!

When it comes to the most successful CS2 players Filip “aVN” Belojica and Milos “dEE” Marceta are the most rewarded ones. Former with five and the latter with three, respectfully. Filip won the A1 Adria League twice with Z10, twice with Level Up Esports, and once with ex-BLUEJAYS back in season 4.

FIFA’s unsurpassed and unmatched player

FIFA or EAFC is another game that has been in the A1 Adria League for the majority of the seasons. It was featured in the first season, with a little break, until in the fifth season we brought it back permanently. That year our trio of veterans was born, Tarik Novo (ex Amke), esad1memic, and brstimir. These three players would go on to compete in almost every season up until current. Furthermore, they didn’t just compete in the low stages of the competition, but they almost always managed to get to TOP 8 or TOP 4.

After Esad Memic won that fifth season, where Novo was in third place, the reign of Novo’s terror began. In the sixth season, Novo won his first title, followed by Memic and brstimir in second and third place respectively. This scenario repeated for two more seasons, except that in S7 and S8 brstimir was vice-champion and Memic third place. Novo continued to be dominant and win titles, and at this moment he has six titles!

I also wanted to mention Milos “brstimir” Majdevac, a player who never won the league but managed to win second or third place almost every single season! If we are talking about consistency, brstimir is our guy.

Furthermore, apart from Novo, players worth mentioning are Gruby and GAME ON Marac who both won the league.

When talking about FIFA I have to mention our newly added FC Mobile game that has been a part of A1AL since the 12th season. So far SHAQ has been the most successful, being the only champion in the game. The defending champion is back in the current season, and we will see if we have a new Tarik Novo on our hands.

Best of Brawl Stars

A1 Adria League went mobile in season 2 but Brawl Stars was first introduced in season 5. At the beginning of each season, a new winner was announced up until team Salada de Frutas entered the stage. This team is without a doubt unpreceded and the most rewarded. Since the ninth season, excluding S10 where they were vice-champions, until the current 14th season, Salada won every single time amounting to four A1AL titles.

Moreover, when talking about individual talents in this game, Salada’s players would be the most successful ones. Nikola “DzonDzon” Brajkovic boasts seven titles and two runner-up awards, while his teammate Andrej “Andrey” Pausic has six A1AL titles and also two runner-ups.

A1AL mini tournament most rewarded teams

As I said at the beginning we have hosted more than 10 games overall. There were competitions in Clash Royale, Hearthstone, Dota 2, League of Legends, PUBG, Valorant, F1, Trackmania, and Fortnite.

In CR the most successful was Nikola, who won the title two times individually and one time as part of Joza Esports. LoL’s most rewarded team in the league was Harmony, while in the PUBG the most dominant was Entropiq who won three consecutive titles (S9, S10, and S11).

Explosive start of the new A1AL season in the first qualifiers!

September 16, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

Season 14 of A1AL has started and competitors from CS2, Brawl Stars, and EAFC played their first qualifier cups. We have seen some surprises and some expected triumphs this weekend. The competition is fierce this year and we already have a lot of strong players and teams signed up. Each qualifier will be of utmost importance as this season you will want to secure your group stage spot as soon as possible. Read on to see the results of the first A1 Adria League qualifier.

S13 finale in the first Brawl Stars qualifier

Brawlers were the first to open the 14th season of A1AL. Many familiar teams competed. From our champions Salada and vice champions OBII (now going under 76ers), to Delulu, OMERTA, Team Cherry, FBI, and many more. The games were pretty clean up until finals where all five matches were played. But let’s start from the beginning.

On the one side of the bracket, OMERTA and Delulu were doing very well until they ran into Salada who won 2:0 against both teams. Gertrude, a new team with familiar players, did give Salada some resistance in the semifinals but not enough for them to win. With a 2:1 win Salada secured a spot in the finals.

On the other bracket side, team GospodinAdry, made out of previous A1AL champions, was demolishing competition. However, in the semifinals they lost against S13 vice champions 76ers with a 2:0 score. This brings us to the finals where we saw a replay of last seasons finale. The 76ers really gave their best to defeat Salada but in the end, our champions prevailed winning with a 3:2 score and securing a maximum of 20 points.

The second BS qualifier will be played on the 20th, so make sure to sign up HERE!

Nikolas7 wins the first A1AL EAFC24 Mobile qualifier

FC Mobile or EAFC24 Mobile is once again a big hit in the A1 Adria League. Just from the first qualifier, we can see how tight the competition will be considering a total of 190 players competed. Not many surprises were seen in the top 256 and top 128 stages of the qualifier. However, things started to get heated as we got top 64 and especially top 32. The biggest surprise of this stage was our two-time A1AL champion Shaq being eliminated. Three-time BFL winner lost to Nikolas7, ex-A1AL caster, and S13 third place.

Nikolas7 showed a great performance in the first qualifier and quite deservedly won the most points and is sitting in the first spot. He should feel pretty secure and confident at the top with 180 points, but nothing is decided yet. His road to the finals was not easy. He eliminated Lazar from Buducnost in the quarterfinals and Jaha in the semis who ended up taking third place and 80 points.

On the other side of the bracket, maybe the biggest surprise of the qualifier, HugoBOSS was sweeping everyone in his sight determined to get to the finals. Rabotnicki eSports player gave his best to win the qualifier but Nikolas7 came out victorious with a 2:0 win. HugoBOSS can be satisfied as he is in second place with 100 points.

The second qualifier will be played on the 21st of September and you can sign up for it HERE!

The S10 EAFC champion is back and ready to win!

The EAFC first qualifier was extremely tense as 100 players battled each other to win as many points as possible. No one had an easy road but some players showed their supremacy. Season 10 champion Gruby and last season’s winner Marac were the one to clash in the finals. But besides them, many familiar players were participating in this qualifier cup. Some of them are Hara, Cyber_Fico, our six-time champion Novo, and the CLA clan.

In the upper side of the bracket, Hara did well and reached the quarterfinals but got eliminated by CLA_TUNA. The member of the CLA organization then try to take down GAME ON Marac, but our defending champion was stronger. That win secured him a spot in the finals where Gruby was waiting.
Gruby’s road to that final wasn’t easy either. In the semifinals, he defeated Misko_fifa, who previously eliminated Tarik Novo in the quarterfinals.

The first finals game was Gruby’s domination who scored six goals against his opponent’s two. However, in the second game, Gruby took his guard down which Marac knew how to take advantage of. In the third match, Gruby wakes up and takes the lead securing 100 points and probably a spot in the next stage of the competition.

The next EAFC24 qualifier is played on the 21st of September, so sign up right away by clicking HERE!

Oto100 and GOT secure the first CS2 group stage spot in A1AL

The best regional CS2 teams also started their grind to playoffs the past weekend. Many familiar A1AL names signed up from Oto100, who competed a couple of seasons ago against titans such as BLUEJAYS, Z10, and Blink, to Diamant Esports, Team Secret, and Cupava Veverica.

Cupava Veverica, team who got to the group stage last season, managed to get to the semis without many problems. There, however, they were defeated by Oto100 on Anubis. On the same side, Team Andr1xx lost after double overtime against Bezgresni who then lost to Oto100. GornjiDonji was waiting for them in finals as they cleared their way pretty smoothly but the spot in the group stage was just out of reach. In the end, Oto100 secured that groups spot with a 2:0 win.

Balkan Vikings showed extraordinary performance on the other side of the bracket. They defeated S13 vice champions Superior Esports, as well as Diamant Esports. Unfortunately, this promising team was stopped by Team Secret in the semis. As Team Secret reached the finals it was sure they would go on to win the whole thing. However, they failed on their map pick, and GOT took that opportunity to advance to playoffs.

CS teams will have another chance to compete for a 14,000 euro prize pool on the 22nd of September. Sign up for the second qualifier HERE!

Battle on the virtual field: EAFC vs FC Mobile

September 12, 2024/0 Comments/in EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The start of the new A1 Adria League season is just days away and we couldn’t be more excited! Once again we will host many games one of which will be EAFC. In A1AL we have tournaments in EAFC24 which can be played on console and PC, and EAFC Mobile which, as you know, is played on your smartphones. If you’re a new player or someone just deciding to enter the esports world through one of these games, but you don’t know how to choose, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to find out what makes these two games special and what they have to offer to Balkan players.

Why choose EAFC 24/25?

As for EAFC for consoles/PC, this is what the current maximum of technical possibilities can offer us. Next-gen consoles and PC always accompany the latest mechanics and the best appearance. Unlike EAFC Mobile, a certain amount of money must be allocated for EAFC to enjoy it. However, considering the amount of content that EAFC brings every year, players can reach the ingame team which can satisfy the competition’s needs.

I spoke with our EAFC administrator KoRaa about this game and how is A1 Adria League helping new players get some experience while competing with the best that our region has to offer.

The best thing of all, A1 Adria League is a platform that for years has been offering a chance to the best players and those who are just starting to compete at an enviable level with a top organization. An interesting fact is that in the 14th season, after the qualifying tournament, we switch to a new version of EAFC 25. This will require players to quickly adapt, assemble a team and master new mechanics in order to gain an advantage in the group stage of the competition. Considering that, players with Ultimate Edition EAFC will have the advantage of five days of early access with which a significant lead can be achieved, both on the field and when assembling the team. And for the one who is the fastest, the competition could certainly pay off.

We already talked about the new EAFC25 game and how the graphics, visuals and the whole interface is astonishing. Besides that, EAFC will have some changes and the players should be careful in the new A1 Adria League season, which is why I asked KoRaa for some advice.

My advice for the players is that they must register for the new season, and practice EAFC25 immediately after securing a place in the TOP 16 at EAFC24.

As you know the first qualifier is scheduled for September 14h, so make sure to sign up! This year the competition is bringing the prize pool of 3,500 euros.

FC Mobile’s rise

EAFC24 Mobile has recently joined our league and hasn’t been around in A1AL as long as its predecessor. However, this game experienced a sudden hype in the last year with the upcoming spectator mode. This allowed FC Mobile to join the competitive side of EA sports. The biggest advantage of this mobile game is that it can be played at any time and any place. You can even compete in tournaments while outside as long as you have a stable internet connection.

I spoke with our EAFC24 Mobile administrator ProSoldier who told me more about the game and its strong Balkan community.

The graphics are at a very enviable level for a mobile game and every week we have new updates regarding events. The Balkan community is perhaps the most active community in the world as far as tournaments are concerned. We were the first in every segment, and always the first to introduce innovations. And we were the first to enter the esports world out of all FC Mobile communities that exist.

A lot of people don’t realize how big the EAFC24 Mobile community in the Balkan is. But our players and content creators are known worldwide. The most famous are StefanTV, Bera FC MOBILE, and Nikolas7, who works closely with EA admins and game developers from EA to improve the game.

Last, but not least, here is some advice for EAFC24 Mobile players from ProSoldier.

Follow the BFL organization as one of the biggest in the region, especially the round reviews on YouTube and practice as much as possible in order to get into a situation to fight for valuable cash prizes and make new friends along the way in different communities, as well as BFL and A1AL.

The first A1AL qualifier is scheduled for September 14th and will be played on the same day as EAFC24 so don’t wait any longer and sign up now! Also don’t forget to follow A1AL social media and our streams!

These are the champions of the 13th season of the A1 Adria League!

August 7, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 13 /by galadriela

The 13th season has ended and we have crowned the best teams and players in the A1 Adria League. It feels like it ended rapidly but all the participants put their blood, sweat, and tears into this competition. The best of the best are crowned in Brawl Stars, CS2, EAFC24, and EAFC24 Mobile. Read on to find out who came on top!

Shaq and Marac best in EAFC24

As you remember EAFC competition ended a week earlier than the others and we already talked about who won it all. Nevertheless, as a reminder, in the mobile version of the game, it was FE_Shaq who marvelously defeated his opponents and defended the title. This is now his second in a row title in the A1 Adria League. Shaq first took down Ogiii, the underdog of the TOP 4 in EAFC24 Mobile, while Nikolas7 and SavaZver battle it on their own.

As a victor, SavaZver went on to fight big Shaq in the finals but lost with a 3:1 score.

On the other side, in the EAFC24 competition, we saw a lot of excitement as the best four players competed for the top prize. Once again Brstimir made it to the end, but wasn’t successful and the title slipped through his fingers. Besides him in the best 4 were two members of the CLA organization Fico and Banderas. They showed their skill and playstyle, but that wasn’t enough. None of these players could defeat the mighty Marac game on.

After his third participation in the A1 Adria League finals, he finally made it to the end, defeated his opponents with ease, and took home the prize.

Frutas wins their fourth A1AL title

In the upper bracket finals, Frutas probably had the most difficult match of the season. The first two sets were very tense and M4M offered excellent resistance, but the experience still prevailed in the 3rd and 4th sets, as well as the dominance of Salada. While Frutas was batling M4M, OOB1 was making their way through the lower bracket and into the grand finale. All in all, both games were pretty straightforward for the side of OOB1. La Aquilla was simply too weak for their opponents, while we expected more from M4M in the lower bracket finals since they showed a great performance against Frutas. However, OOB1 was dominant in that match as well, as M4M woke up too late when they won the third set. But by that time, OOB1 had no problem finishing the game in the next set.

Nothing to say about the grand finals between Frutas and OOB1 except for how dominant the former was. The game wasn’t even close and Frutas with ease took their third title in a row, and fourth in the last five seasons in the A1 Adria League. It looks like they are not stopping with triumphs any time soon. Furthermore, to show how dominant and successful they are here are some stats:

DzonDzon became the player with the most trophies in the BS competition in the A1AL with 7 titles and 2 runner-ups
Andrey can boast 6 titles and 2 runner ups as well

Frutas wins their foruth A1AL title in S13

Kubix is the new CS2 champion in the A1 Adria League

In the CS2 grand finals, Superior Esports came into the match with one map advantage, as a winner of the upper bracket putting Kubix at a disadvantage right at the start. However, all the other maps in the finals were won by Kubix who left nothing for their opponents. It was a one-sided finish to the CS2 competition. Almost every map had the same beginning: Superior takes one or two rounds and then the Kubix’s domination begins. The scores were 13:5, 13:5, 13:7 so you judge for yourself how easy that was for Kubix.

Kubix deservedly won the title in the 13th season of the A1 Adria League, while Superior Esports will have to be satisfied with a runner-up title and hope to improve in the next season. This win for Kubix was especially meaningful for their player Atif “gejmzilla” Mustafa, an A1AL veteran, who came back to the CS scene in the best manner possible.

S13 A1 Adria League CS2 champions Kubix
