Who is going to LAN in Zagreb? Find out in the new A1AL recap

There is almost no time left to secure a spot in the playoffs, earn a ticket to the Reboot InfoGamer event, and attend the LAN and the finish of the 12th A1 Adria League season in Zagreb this month. Read on to learn who secured their spot and who has one last chance to do so.

Suh12 secured the semifinals in EA FC Mobile

Suh12, a guy from Croatia, showed a unique desire to prove himself in front of his audience in Zagreb, and that’s how he played a decisive match with Kayozz. He won the duel against the Bosnian player with 2:0.

The favorite of the match, Ivand, had the opportunity to beat Lazar, knock him out of the competition, and secure a place in the semi-finals, but the opposite happened, it was 2:1 in the end in favor of Lazar. Now both are at 2:2 in overall aggregate. 

Nerko returns from 0:2 to 2:2 after another masterful game. He won against Tocc with a 2:0 victory, and it is the biggest comeback of this Swiss stage so far.

Marac and Fico join Novo in the top 4 in EA FC 24

In this round of the EA FC 24 Swiss Stage three members of the CLA organization successfully defeated their opponents and two of them even secured a spot in the playoffs.

The first match of the day was played between CLA TH3Prod1gy or Skrga and a rookie OlleDobrinho from Serbia. It was a direct fight for survival in the competition and at the same time for a step closer to the TOP 4. We have only been watching Skrga on the streams since last season, but a little more experience was enough compared to Dobrinjo. This is his debut season, but he showed that he was not in the top 8 by chance.

Second duel was played between a veteran of the A1AL brstimir and CLA Fico. This was a duel between players who have a score of 1-2 and 2-1, which meant that if Fico wins, he will ensure his place in the top 4, while we say goodbye to Brstimir for this season. That’s exactly what happened. This big derby went as expected in the third match, but Fico still found a way to be more patient and win the game in his favor.

The third and last match of this EA FC 24 Swiss Stage saw CLA Marac win against another rookie Nemanja. Marac, like Skrga, has been performing on the biggest stage in the region since last season, but he is in such form that he was considered a favorite for the top 4 from the very beginning of the season. With a duel against Nemanja, he ensured his place in the TOP 4. And Nemanja will seek his place in the LAN final next week in a direct duel against Skrga. Which will be the last match of the group stage in this game. 

The Suspect and Zero Tenacity are going to LAN

The semifinals in the CS2 competition of the A1 Adria League was played last Sunday and we have two teams that will attend the LAN in Zagreb and fight for the top prize. As you know Z10 is the defending champion and therefore a big favorite, but we know The Suspect will put up a hell of a fight. Let’s see how the games of the current finalists went last weekend.

The first match was played between Partizan Esports and The Suspect. An excellent start for The Suspect on their map pick which was Anubis, but Partizan is fighting well and harming The Suspect’s economy. Caley showed a fantastic performance yet again as half-time ended with a 7:5 for Partizan. They go on to take the pistol round and the initiative in the second half. An excellent team game that even Caley could not stop, resulting in victory on the first map with 13:7. The Suspect took only 2 rounds on the T side.

On Ancient, which Partizan picked, things were even up until the second half. The first one ended with a 6:6 score. Strong performance for The Suspect in the second half. Partizan took only one round on the CT side and the game ended 13:7 in favor of The Suspect. This evened the overall score and we saw the decider map play out. On Vertigo it was a complete domination for The Suspect, and the game ended with a 13:3 score.

Jake Bube makes Z10 work for it

The second match of the day between Zero Tenacity and Jake Bube started on Mirage. Both teams showed extraordinary performance. Jake Bube took the first half on the wings of Jayzar with a 7:5 score. After that, the game didn’t get any easier. In the end, however Z10 prevailed and won with a 13:11 score.

On Vertigo Jake Bube demolished their opponents in the first half with a result 8:3. The defending champions woke up in the second half and let their opponent take only one round on T side. The second map ended in favor of Z10 with a 13:9 score and an amazing comeback.

This season’s PUBG champion is team Grove Street!

Another mini tournament is over as we are getting closer to the finish of the 12th A1 Adria League season. Namely, PUBG got a new champion after three seasons, Grove Street. Read on to learn how they reached the top spot and every interesting detail of the tournament!

Exciting first day of competition

We have seen many signed-up teams and some of the favorites were Sniip, Late to Party, Idemo Bato, and Rock Solid Boys as the first day of the tournament started hectic. On the first map, we saw quite a chaotic midgame as all teams tried to take the best possible positions, and some of the biggest favorites lost key players. Sniip benefited from an early rotation into the center of the zone, which followed them to the very end. They managed to win the Chicken Dinner even though they made a tactical mistake and got separated at the finish.

On the second map, the uncomfortable first zone dictated that all teams frantically searched for an early entrance into it, and Late To Party managed to get through the quite chaotic game the best and was rewarded for its stable and disciplined game with a 4-to-1 situation at the end. They had as many as 12 kills and first place on the ranking list.

Changing the map also brings a total change to the table. The outsiders outplayed numerous favorites, and in the chaotic finale, we fell from 29 living players to only 11 fighters in less than 60 seconds. Ja Genau team shot very well, but he was not rewarded with kills for their efforts, they will have to settle for placing in the top 4. Together as one secured the Chicken Dinner, but they surely must regret that they did not confirm more kills on Taeg.

The fourth map was won by Sniip and his team while the fifth and the most popular Erangel by our champions. And thus ended the first day of the PUBG competition.

Pubg Day 2 and a last chance for the top 8

Right at the beginning of the first game on the second day of the tournament, the underdogs took the opportunity to find unheated favorites, and in the end, we saw four teams from the bottom of the table. Menace did the best, winning the Chicken Dinner, and Ja Genau launched themselves into the top 8.

On the second Erangel, we saw a show of force by Sniip and Late to Party. Both teams “transferred” 10 kills, and in the clutch end, Zeko almost clutched. Still, he lacked a few better shots to secure the win, so Late to Party celebrated.

Vikendi relaunched Ja Genau into the top 8 – Carlo97 was the real hero of this team, as he dominated the entire game. In the late game, he broke key situations twice, first with two huge headshots from AWM on Grove Street players, and then in a 1v1 situation against XGlide’s Needex.

The fourth map saw the final battle between Together as One and XGlide where the latter profited with many kills and a Chicken Dinner. Furthermore, the highlight of the fifth map was a 2v1 battle between the BOMBER team and Grove Street. Woxez handled this situation brilliantly and took the Chicken Dinner for Grove Street with a clutch shot.

Grove Street victorious in the finals

Day three saw a dramatic finish to the tournament as the efforts of Grove Street and TogetherAsOne led to a photo finish between the two teams. TogetherAsOne’s bold rush on the last map, where they were forced to chase down an 18-point gap that Grove Street had, led to a head-to-head clash where Molodoct had to clutch and eliminate Grove Street. 

This put TaO in a situation where they needed a Chicken Dinner and 5 kills, which ultimately did not materialize as 4UP intercepted TaO and extinguished their hopes of victory. Moreover, Team Ja Genau must be pleased with the third day of competition as they managed to jump from 9th to third place and achieve the highest number of points earned during this day of competition.

Results of another A1AL group stage are here!

Another week is over, and our competitors in CS2, EA FC 24, and EA FC Mobile are getting closer to securing the top 4 and a place at the LAN event in Zagreb. Find out who already managed to secure these spots and who is still fighting for it in all three main games in the 12th A1 Adria League season.

Shaq is the first EA FC Mobile semifinalist

The results are in, and EA FC Mobile players have played some decider matches this week. From them, one player has secured and advanced to the next stage of the competition, while one other has been eliminated. The successful player was Shaq who won against Ivand with a 2:1 victory. On the other hand, we had to say goodbye to Destroyer who didn’t manage to win a single game in this group stage. It was Nerko who eliminated Destroyer with another 2:1 win. The third game that day ended with the same score between suh12 and Lazar where the former came out victorious.

Stay tuned for more exciting matches and more EA FC Mobile news!

Novo earns a ticket to the finals in Zagreb!

The first ones this week were Nemanja LS92 and Brstimir. It was a very interesting match and the only one that went to the third game on the playday of EA FC 24. Both players enter the match with a score of 1-1. Nemanja won the first match when he scored the winning goal in the end. In the second game, Brstimir returned and leveled the total score at 1-1. In the third game, Nemanja won 3:0 more easily than expected. Brsimir now has a negative score of 1-2 while Nemanja has a 2-1 record.

The second match of the day featured Fica’s routine 2-0 win on aggregate over his colleague from the CLA organization TH3Prod1gy. Also, both players entered this match with a 1-1 ratio. Fico performed better and gave himself an advantage and now one win separates him from the LAN finish.

The most exciting match of the third EA FC 24 group stage round was played by two guys who entered the match with a ratio of 2-0, Novo and Marac. Easier than expected, Novo achieves his third victory and confirms the ticket to Zagreb in November.

Partizan secures playoff in CS2!

The first match of the fourth CS2 group stage round was played between Partizan Esports and RUR Esports. Partizan won the duel with 2:0 on Ancient and Overpass. The first map started in favor of Partizan and they had a two-round advantage at halftime (7:5). RUR managed to draw the score on 7:7 but after that, they missed too many chances and allowed their opponents few crucial clutches. This led to a victory in favor of Partizan with a score of 13:8. Similar scenario on Overpass. Partizan dominated the first half with 8:4 after which RUR took four rounds and evened out the score. However, that was all they managed to achieve, as Partizan didn’t let them win a single round after that and ended the game with the same score (13:8) and secured their spot in the playoffs.

Salamander is eliminated from the group stage

The second game of the week in CS2’s fourth round was played between Megnatos and Salamander. It was more than a dominant win for Megnatos on both maps which means we have to say goodbye to Salamander as they are eliminated. Ancient began with 9:3 on half for Megnatos and ended with four more rounds in favor of them (13:3). On Vertigo the half ended with the same score. It was Tiirex who carried his team to such a dominant victory as he had 18 frags in 10 rounds during the first half. The second half was more or less the same as in the first game. Megnatos once more ends the game with a 13:3 score.

The Suspect puts on a show

Jake Bube vs The Suspect was the most exciting match of this SWISS round where we saw all three maps. Mirage was a mess, to say the least. Even though The Suspect had an amazing first half which ended with a 10:2 score, Jake Bube came back in the match and almost won, making their opponents sweat. A lot of rounds with deagles brought us an exciting finish, where in the end Suspect got the first win with a 13:9 score. Moreover, Ancient was nothing less exciting. It was a very close match and an even score at half-time. The Suspect got the lead in the second half. However, at 10:7 Bube finally woke up and returned fire ending the game in their favor (13:10).

Inferno was a decider. The Suspect shows a great start once again winning five rounds in a row. However, Bube wouldn’t be defeated so easily as the half ended with a 7:5 score. The Suspect kept their lead for a while. At 10:5 Bube attempted another miraculous return, however, Kindo, the hero of their team, couldn’t carry the weight. In the end, it was a 13:10 victory for The Suspect.

FIFA games finishing their qualifiers; CS:GO group stage already started in the A1AL!

The fourth-week games of the 12th season in the A1 Adria League finished this weekend. FIFA Mobile played its third qualifier, with only one more left, while FIFA23 players finished their last one, and we now have the top 8 who will advance to the group stage. On the other hand, the first round of the CS: GO group stage was played last Sunday. Read to learn details about each game and how players and teams performed.

More upsets in FIFA Mobile

Like in the first A1AL FIFA Mobile qualifiers, we also witnessed more upsets this week. Firstly, the leader on the scoreboard, Kayozz, was surprisingly eliminated in the third round. Lazar snatched a saucy victory over Kayozz but only managed to reach the next round before being eliminated. Mihajlo ran him over in that round and reached the semifinals, where he was stopped by Suh12, who went on to win the qualifier and max points.

At the moment, Kayozz is still first, while Suh12 is right behind him with 170 points overall. Furthermore, the third place now belongs to Shaq, who has 130 points. With just one more qualifier left, the first three players are almost definitely advancing to the next stage in the A1AL.

Moreover, the competition will be even more significant in the next qualifier, considering we are switching to the new FIFA game EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile. Sign up for it HERE!

Who are the top eight FIFA23 players?

You’d be mistaken if you think that not much has changed in the final scoreboard for FIFA23. One player managed to reach the finals and win 70 points, securing a spot in the league and eliminating two players from the top 8. Namely, Srdjan “Olle Dobrinho” Dobric made it to the finals and, with 90 points overall, is now advancing to groups. With only 20 points before this qualifier, this player never gave up and was rewarded for it.

Due to his success, Djordje “Jasik” Cumbo and Nemanja “NemanjaLS92” Misic are out of the league and will have to try harder next season. Furthermore, max points went into the hands of Filip “CLA_Cyber_FICO” Babic, who was victorious against Olle Dobrinho with a 2:1 score and is also advancing to the group stage with 140 points overall.

Besides them, Novo, Esad Memic, Brstimir, Marac, and TheProd1gy are some of the names we will watch compete for the top prize in the A1AL groups. Also, we are switching to a new FIFA game in this tournament as well, so you will enjoy the best regional players competing in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 from now on.

Check out what happened in the third A1AL qualifiers week!

The third week since the beginning of the 12th A1 Adria League season is already behind us. Many interesting matches were played, and excitement wasn’t absent. We even crowned the first champion in this A1AL season in League of Legends. Read on to learn more about FIFA23, FIFA Mobile, CS: GO, and LoL tournament results.

Shaq wins the second FIFA Mobile qualifiers

Unlike the first qualifier in FIFA Mobile, our new A1 Adria League tournament, the second didn’t see many surprises and upsets. At the top of the leaderboard are currently Kayozz, the winner of the first qualifier, and Shaq. These two players bested their opponents on their side of the bracket and made it to the finals. There, Shaq managed to snatch a victory from Kayozz and claim 120 points.

This puts him in the second place, while Kayozz remains the first with 200 points. He obtained 80 points in second place in the second FIFA Mobile qualifier. Ivand and Nerko are sharing the third spot with 90 points overall.

There is still time to earn more points and secure the group stage by signing up for the third qualifier set on September 22nd. You can do it HERE!

Third FIFA23 qualifier without a winner!

In the third FIFA23 qualifier, Teo “Sibirski_Plavac” Radman was the one who reached the finals and won 100 points. However, we found out another player was playing on his account and climbing in his place. Harun “Hara” Parla, a known FIFA player in the region, was boosting Teo, leading to both players being disqualified from the league.

Since these two players are now out of the league, the leaderboard in FIFA23 looks a bit different. Novo and Marac are still at the top with 140 points each. Haris, who made it to the finals in the third qualifier, has 90 points, followed by Esad Memic and Brstimir with 80 and 70 points, respectively.

The last FIFA23 qualifier will be played on September 23rd. Sign up for it HERE!

Underdogs Salamander and Megnatos made it to CS: GO group stage!

Out of 36 teams, only two could secure the group stage in the last CS: GO qualifier. Those teams were Salamander and Megnatos, who bested some familiar CS: GO players in the region and wider. They are the last two teams to make it to the group stage and join 4 qualified and 2 invited ones.

GhoulsW made another appearance but couldn’t get past ZGOINGON in the quarter-finals with HOLMES-, aidKiT, and choiv7 in their roster. However, this team didn’t make it far from there. They lost in the next round to Megnatos. Some of the names worth mentioning that also couldn’t secure groups are cerber-, deb0, v1w, and vAloN9, who we know from Kosovo organization X, and gejmzilla, who returned to A1 Adria League after a couple of seasons. Unfortunately, he will have to wait for the next one.

DZANGLERI are the new LoL champions!

Out of 16 teams, DZANGLERI made it to the end and won the first mini-tournament of the 12th A1 Adria League season, League of Legends. Another title goes into the hands of DZANGLERI, who also came on top in the ninth A1AL season. Panj also took another trophy home after showing up in many A1AL seasons.

The champions defeated VoidEsport in the finals 2:0 and rightfully claimed the throne and the 750 euros prize.

Close to winning were HARMONY and Stara Garda, previous champions in the A1 Adria League in this tournament. Both teams made it to the semifinals but weren’t successful. They battled against one another in the match for third place, where Stara Garda celebrated with a 1:0 score.

More new games and mini-tournaments are coming, so make sure to check our social media accounts and follow us for the latest news!

Second A1AL Qualifiers week brought many exciting matches!

Players from FIFA23 and CS: GO have already finished their second A1AL qualifiers and are now closer to securing the group stage, while some already did. On the other hand, last weekend, FIFA Mobile saw its debut. The first qualifiers welcomed as many as 130 players, and the best was Kayozz, who took 120 points and first place.

Upsets in the first FIFA Mobile qualifiers

There were many upsets and surprises in the first-ever FIFA Mobile qualifiers in the 12th A1 Adria League season. Two Gaming Weekend finalists from the “Balkan Top H2H” organization didn’t make it past the second round. The winner of Gaming Weekend, Andrija06, lost in the first round, while Shaq, the second finalist from this event, only made it to the second round.

Another upset was the elimination of the second-best FIFA Mobile player worldwide, Suhopolja12, who also lost in the first round of the qualifiers.

Those players who made upsets and eliminated the favorites were Kayozz from the Bosnian organization “BHSMC Balkan,” who defeated Medinjo, Maglica, Nemanja, HajdukKryptoa, Benjamin and, in the best-of-five duel, bested Bojan is Back.

The second-best qualifier was Macedonian player IvanD from the organization “Ujedinjeni,” who defeated Shaq, Bule, Havertz, and Nerko in the semifinals. He went home with 80 points.

Two more teams have secured the SWISS group stage in the CS: GO competition of A1AL. Besides MBAPPEEK, Partizan, Jake Bube, and current champions Zero Tenacity, teams The Suspect and RUR Esports found their way into the top eight.

Many familiar CS: GO teams signed up for this qualifier and competed against the best in the region. The Suspect roster, who previously played under Blink, didn’t lose a single map. Gulito and his team once again secured the group stage and are ready for the battle for the crown.

On the other side of the bracket, another familiar name made it to the finals of the qualifier, RUR Esports. They defeated ghoulsW with 2:0, another familiar regional CS: GO team.

FIFA has been one of the constant tournaments featured in our A1 Adria League. We thought about it and decided to add another FIFA tournament due to the popularity and intense competition we see here every season. This season, FIFA will be played on both the console and mobile. This way, we are allowing players who prefer the mobile version of FIFA to compete and have a chance at the prize pool. The first FIFA Mobile champion will be crowned at the end of the season.

Much like the FIFA23 tournament, mobile FIFA will have four open qualifiers where the best regional players will compete and earn points. Securing the group stage won’t be easy, but participating at each and every qualifier will increase your chances. Don’t wait any longer, and sign up for the first FIFA Mobile qualifier scheduled for September 8th by clicking on the link below.
