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.

FIFA

The last FIFA qualifier of this season and this year is ahead of us. Tarik “amke2001” Novo has been brilliant during the entire qualifying process and is now leading the table with 270 points. The rest of the players are behind by at least 90 points. Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac (180) and Harun “Hara” Parla (160) are behind amke2001, with Esad “esad1memic” Memić closing in behind them with his 140 points. The eighth place is occupied by Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar. One more qualifier means one more chance for everyone in the region.

Here is what Hara had to say about his experience in the league so far:

“I am really satisfied by the tournament so far, a lot of players are signing up to play and there are also a lot of players that can be tough to play against. It wasn’t easy to qualify in the top 8, but with my will and persistence, I achieved the result that I wanted to achieve since the first qualifier. Everything is on the table in the next round as we are transferring to a new game and getting used to the new meta will influence the results. My humble opinion is that I will manage to enter the top 4 stage.”

CS:GO

On Sunday, the first SWISS round for this season came to an end. PORTUGAL and BLUEJAYS secured victories against their opponents and joined iNation and 4glory in the winners’ half of the bracket. On the other side, Marten Gaming and JESTE along with Young Glorians and SKUAK. These latter four teams will be looking to improve their Round 1 results in the second round, and this Sunday, we will watch the following two matchups:

26.09.2021 – SWISS Round 2-1

Marten Gaming vs.  Young Glorians
rs 4glory vs. PORTUGAL

The Macedonian teams begin the season with a win!

PORTUGAL and BLUEJAYS have outplayed Marten Gaming and JESTE, respectively, in our second Round 1 playday.

Our first match was a real spectacle. Rescheduled to 13:00 as Marten Gaming had the finals of the CS:GO BIH League later today, PORTUGAL vs. Marten Gaming started off the day with a blast. Anel “NENO” Ceković and his team dominated Marten in the first half of Mirage, Marten’s map pick, having a nine-round streak before their opponents could win one round. The half ended 11-4 in favor of PORTUGAL, but what happened next was miraculous. An absolutely perfect T side from  Petar “HOLMES” Dimitrijević’s new team secured them every single round of the second half, along with the entire map (16-11).

On Vertigo, PORTUGAL was the team that managed to do a comeback, although this one was of smaller proportions. After losing the first stages of the game 5-1, the Macedonian team won the half 9-6. Marten took the lead on the T side again, but PORTUGAL weren’t ready to lose yet another lead. They gave it their best and closed off Vertigo 16-14. Just like their T side on Mirage, PORTUGAL’s Nuke T side was brilliant. Dejan “Katalic” Koprivica & co. won only four rounds on their CT side. Marten had a good run in the second half, but Alexander “br0” Bro successfully lead his team to victory in the final map.

Our second duel of the day wasn’t short of surprises either. We watched Vertigo once again, but the course of this match was vastly different than the previous one. Where both teams dominated halves in our first match, this time, both JESTE and BLUEJAYS kept winning rounds and kept the game tied the entire time. In the end, we went to overtime and Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski and BLUEJAYS won Vertigo. Inferno was no different. BLUEJAYS reached 15 first but were unable to finish the game in regulation. We watched overtime again, and this time, the winning team was JESTE.

The final map of the day was Mirage. Even though both teams were exhausted from the previous two maps, we still watched a great game. We watched overtime for the third time, with BLUEJAYS taking the final map in their favor. You can watch today’s playday below:

 

brstimir unable to end amke2001’s winning streak in the fourth qualifier!

As today’s qualifier was the second-to-last one of this FIFA season, we already know some of the players that will participate and compete in the upcoming SWISS stage.

Last week’s runner-up, Esad “esad1memic” Memić faced tough players such as mrky2402 and Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi in his first two rounds. He managed to beat mrky, but couldn’t squeeze past Sardinho. Tarik “amke2001” Novo, one of our finalists, was a part of this half of the bracket as well. One of the players he faced on his road to the quarterfinals was Robert Peršaj, a player that hasn’t been active recently but played in previous seasons of the League. Amke managed to overcome Robert, breeze past Sardinho, and finally, defeat Harun “Hara” Parla in the semifinals of this cup.

Simultaneously as amke2001, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac was fighting for his spot in the finals as well. Ranked fourth before the beginning of this qualifier, brstimir advanced to the later stages of the tournament over Petar_Puljic and Jelusic90. He met Hrvoje “HRVoje-1995” Čleković in the quarters before challenging Emir “Sulja” Suljović a round later. The Bosnian player gave it his best, but brstimir came out as the winner of this match.

FIFA Q4 Semifinals

The third-place decider ended earlier today and Hara managed to achieve a 2-0 victory over Sulja. The main prize of this qualifier went to amke2001, while brstimir earned 70 points, summing it up to a total of 180. Next week, the final qualifier will be played out and we will know who the eight qualified players are. It is your last chance to secure a spot among the very best FIFA players in the region.

Salada de Frutas keep dominating the region!

After plowing over the competition for the third time, Salada de Frutas now have 300 points on the Brawl Stars leaderboard.

In this qualifier, we had great matches since the very first round. Omert4 and Mayoi met each other and the following match saw Omert4 come out as the winners. In the same part of the bracket, Winx Club bested FA Impact and then went on to defeat Omert4 in the Round of 16. Winx Club secured a top-eight spot, but that is all they managed to achieve this qualifier, as Salada de Frutas were in the upper part of the bracket as well. After outplaying Ultra Crnci and QuickMind, Andrey_ & co. were better than Winx Club as well and advanced to the semifinals. There, they met a newer team – BalkanTalentsEsport.

This squad defeated teams such as Reborn Legends Esports and Lightning Strike before reaching the semis, but they weren’t ready to face the level of play the Salada de Frutas players displayed in the arena. Even more impressive is the result of Interventna, another new team that hasn’t played a qualifier so far this season. Interventna eliminated Immortal Balkans Junior from the fourth Brawl Stars qualifier and also bested HELIHOPTERI and pop off in the following rounds. Their great streak came to an end in the finals when Salada de Frutas showed them who’s boss. Check out today’s stream below:

Brawl Stars Q4

iNation and 4glory triumph in the first CS:GO playday!

In the SWISS stage debut for this season, iNation outplayed SKUAK, while 4glory defeated the second squad of their organization, Young Glorians.

Seeing as CS:GO ended its qualifying phase first, it was only natural for Valve’s FPS to enter the SWISS stage before our other titles. A long season is ahead of us. Every match in the SWISS stage will be played as a BO3 and only the very best will advance to the playoffs. Today, two of the four Round 1 matches were played out. iNation made their debut in the League in the first match of the eighth season. Their opponents were SKUAK, the only Albanian squad currently competing in the A1 Adria League. We watched two close maps and in the end, the Serbian powerhouse came out as the winners of this duel. Both Ancient and Dust2 ended after more than 25 rounds, and iNation deservedly earned their first point of the season.

4glory and Young Glorians started off on Nuke. While everyone expected 4glory to have an easy time against their juniors, Young Glorians had an amazing showing on the map. The match went to overtime, but in the end, 4glory’s experience reigned supreme and Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and his team closed off the first map with a victory. Inferno’s first half, however, was a whole other story. 4glory absolutely dominated their opponents in the first round, but later on, Young Glorians took the lead. Once again, the entire map was a nail-biter, once again, we reached overtime, and once again, 4glory defeated Young Glorians.

 

 

Salada de Frutas take the lead after two wins in a row!

For the second time in as many playdays, Salada de Frutas destroyed everyone and claimed first place in our Brawl Stars qualifier of the week.

Half of our qualifiers are now finished. Today, the Brawl Stars players that have been eagerly awaiting the beginning of our new qualifiers jumped into the arenas to earn more points. We are slowly forming our leaderboard, with teams such as Salada de Frutas, Mayoi, and Winx Club slowly confirming their spot in the league. Lightning Strike also had a good day in this qualifier, but their victory celebrations after the match against Immortal Balkans were quickly shut down by Salada de Frutas. Last qualifier’s winners paved their way to yet another grand final appearance after winning their matches versus Night Alpha, Twisted Mind, the aforementioned Lightning Strike squad, and finally Mayoi.

On the other side of the bracket, QuickMind did even better than in the first qualifier. They went all the way to the semifinals, but Winx Club were there to stop them in their tracks. The two semifinal matches ended in favor of Salada de Frutas and Winx Club. The former defeated Mayoi with a dominant 3-0 final scoreline, and the same thing happened in the second semifinal match of the day. Finally, the grand final was played out. Salada de Frutas faced Winx Club, and they managed to hold their ground once again. One more 3-0 win put another 100 points in the bag for the squad, and they are now leading the Brawl Stars battle.

SKUAK, AIRLYA, and Young Glorians finalize CS:GO’s teams list!

With our second pair of qualifiers behind us, we have completed the CS:GO teams list for the eighth A1 Adria League season!

18 teams tried to secure the eight closed-qualifier spots yesterday. The second round was the deciding one this time around. Filip “MUFFY” Cvetić and endusty convincingly beat Defektasi 2-0 to join the qualified teams. Right next to them in the bracket, the second 4glory squad, Young Glorians, were better than Adonis “adon1s” Gashi and ELITE. SKUAK Gaming had no problems in their BO3 versus DONDA, and nije dolazio defeated Mario “Mariuchii” Grdović and KolindaVratiSe after a tough 2-1 marathon.

The best Macedonian team, AIRLYA, faced NoWin in their decider match. Daniel “dan1” Gligorov & co. didn’t let the opposing team upset them and closed out the game after only two maps. Sinking Ship did the same against 4glory Youngest, the second squad that the Serbian organization featured in this qualifier. The last two teams to qualify were SENKE and CKUKO, who did so over Team From Hell and Beograd Gaming, respectively.

CS:GO Teams Q2

After an intense open qualifier, the aforementioned eight teams joined the single-elimination BO3 bracket to fight for the last three spots in the league. Kujtim “gulito-“ Durmishi and SKUAK Gaming achieved the first victory in this phase of the qualifiers. Their opponents were Luka “brky” Brkanac’s CKUKO who suffered a 2-0 loss in this match. Next up, AIRLYA advanced to the semifinals after being the better team in their match versus nije dolazio. SKUAK and AIRLYA were joined by Young Glorians and SENKE, respectively.

Young Glorians proved to be tough opponents for the Albanian team SKUAK. Even though they gave it their best, this deciding BO3 match ended in favor of SKUAK Gaming. The second semifinal ended after two maps, with AIRLYA coming out as the winners. With these two matches completed, we got two of the three qualified teams. What remained was the third-place decider between SENKE and Young Glorians. This final match of this season’s CS:GO qualifiers ended up in a victory for Young Glorians – our last team to join the league.

 

Teams Q2

Jasik earns 100 points after defeating Pecho in this FIFA qualifier!

After Salada de Frudas dominated Brawl Stars on Thursday, today we got our second FIFA winner of the season – Đorđe “JasikFIFA” Cumbo.

FIFA was off to a great start since the very first round. Namely, Stjepan “Brstylo” Brstilo eliminated our reigning back-to-back champion, Tarik “amke2001” Novo, in Round 1, denying him from winning any points in this qualifier. Just a round later, another veteran fell. This time, Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac, the player who triumphed in the first qualifier, was too weak to stand up to Emir “Sulja” Suljović. Stefan “StojanovFIFA” Stojanov had to face a couple of tough opponents before reaching the finals. He bested HRVoje-1995 in Round 1, Zli Duh in Round 2, and Jelusic90 in the quarterfinals before losing to Petar “DrPecho” Šušnjar in the semifinals.

Sulja had a similar road to the third-place decider. He managed to outplay brstimir and Esad “esad1memic” Memić before ultimately losing to JasikFIFA in the semis. The latter, a name that we haven’t heard in a long time secured his final spot against DrPecho after a great performance in our second qualifier of the season. StojanovFIFA was better than Sulja in the third-place decider, while a 2-1 victory secured JasikFIFA 100 points over DrPecho.

You can check out the current FIFA standings below. The third qualifier will be played out next Saturday – hurry up and SIGN UP!
