Brawl Stars, FIFA23 and CS:GO started their race to the title!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Last week we had a lot of exciting match-ups in all our games. With the start of the group stage, things are starting to heat up. Brawl Stars, FIFA23 and CS:GO started their race to the title in the first round of the SWISS group stage in the tenth season of the A1 Adria League. Here is a recap of the week.

Aloha and Blink dominant

The tenth CS:GO season in the A1 Adria League started explosively. We had two match days, and in the end, the two teams who took both wins and were the most successful are Aloha and Blink. Blink is a well-known team in the region, and in Europe as well. This win was expected from both teams, seeing that they were the invited ones. While the qualified ones had to fight their way up here. Blink took their two wins against ILLYRIANS and KTRL. While the match against KTRL was an easy one for the Albanian team, they had a tougher task versus ILLYRIANS but the final result was 16:13 in favor of Blink.

On the other side, Aloha who also has a 2:0 score after two play days was completely dominant in both CS:GO matches. They defeated Zero Tenacity as well as Psihocastic. Against Z10 Aloha only allowed their opponents 2 rounds, while in the game against Psihocastic the result was 16:3. Psihocastic and Velez Mostar were the teams with no wins so far and they are sitting at the bottom of the standings, while the rest have one win and one defeat.

Bosnian players successful in FIFA23

The new FIFA wasn’t a big problem for the players. The start of the group stage brought us FIFA23, instead of FIFA22 in which the players competed during the qualifications. The first match that opened the group stage in this competition was Novo versus Bruno. The four-time champion didn’t have a lot of trouble against the Croatian representative. It was a clear win for Novo with a result of 2:0. The other three matches all had a 2:1 score, and the players that came out victorious were Encika and Parla, also Bosnian players, and Brstimir as the Serbian FIFA virtuoso. In the end, favorites justified their role.

Salada de Frutas in questionable form this season

The A1AL Brawlers debuted this season in the group stage. We have seen many interesting matches, one almost reverse sweep, and a disappointing performance by the champions.

The most successful teams in the first round of the group stage were OMERT4, who was the first seed, and GreekGod. Both of these teams won their games with a dominant 3:o score. OMERT4 took down La Remontada while team GreekGod was victorious against Rolex, a team that won one of the Qualifiers Cups.

On the other hand, the most interesting match in the first round was played by Jazavci and Extreme Masters. Everything looked like a clean win for the former team seeing as they started the duel with 2 wins. But when Extreme Masters realized it was Bo5, they put it in second gear and almost reverse-swept their opponents. Jazavci however didn’t allow that, winning the last match and scoring in Brawl Ball avoiding overtime.

The biggest surprise was Salada de Frutas. The current Brawl Stars champions in the A1 Adria League are showing bad form since the beginning of the season. They didn’t manage to win a single qualifier, they were seeded fourth and now DzonDzon and his team lost the first game. Salada was against team La Aquilla who defeated them with a 3:1 score.

Zero Tenacity and ILLYRIANS are back in CS:GO group stage

The third CS:GO qualifier finished on Sunday, and we have completed the group stage of the A1 Adria League in this competition with 8 teams. Zero Tenacity and ILLYRIANS are the last two teams who entered the next stage of the competition.

Last spots secured

The tenth A1 Adria League season in the CS:GO competition is ready to start. The last two, out of eight teams secured their spot in the group stage. KATAI, and Velez Mostar made it to the group stage in the first qualifier, while in the second one we saw KTRL and Psihocastic come out victorious. The third and last one as we saw on Sunday went into the hands of two familiar teams in A1AL. Both Zero Tenacity and ILLYRIANS were competing in the last season. Teams led by nemanha and connex511 made it through with an outstanding performance.

The battle was as fierce as ever. The competition was tough, and there were only two spots left. We saw a couple of surprises as well. Teams such as Cyber Wolves didn’t manage to qualify, even though they were really close to achieving their goal. A well-known name in the CS:GO community XTEAM, also didn’t make it, which is the biggest surprise of the season. Gejmzilla and his team have already shown what a great team they are, in regional and in European competitions as well.

In the semifinals, Zero Tenacity eliminated Cyber Wolves and secured their spot. And in the other semifinals, it was ILLYRIANS who demolished their opponent, team Premkaenjoyers with a 2:0 win.

Besides the 6 qualified teams, two more invited ones will join the competition. Who the invited teams are will be revealed soon enough. So make sure to follow us on social media for more information. The group stage starts on October 5th.

KTRL and Psihocastic won the second CS:GO qualifier

After Velez Mostar and KATAI secured the group stage of the A1 Adria League in CS:GO competition last week, two more teams joined last night. After an interesting night of CS:GO matches KTRL and Psihocastic also made it to the group stage by winning the second qualifier.

Two more spots left

The beginning of the tenth A1 Adria League season in CS:GO is getting closer. We already have four teams who will compete in the league, as well as the two invited teams, who will join the rest. So far teams that made it are Velez Mostar, KATAI, KTRL, and Psihocastic.

Many teams registered for the second CS:GO qualifier, but in the end, KTRL and Psihocastic made it to the top. And I must say it was a well-deserved victory for these two teams. Seeing as the competition is fierce yet again, the winners of this qualifier didn’t have an easy task. I already mentioned in the last article that KTRL on paper looks really dangerous and that we should expect great things from them. Well, it didn’t take them long to prove they are a menace to their opponents, as they already secured the group stage of A1AL. The Romanian organization in its core has great players such as sarenii, dEE and Katalic, who are all well-known names in the region.

On the other hand, Psihocastic also showed an outstanding performance last night. The roster made out of Salted, andr1x, brky, rbfurious, and SkippeR showed their worth by defeating a great team like Cyber Wolves. They defeated the mentioned team in the semifinals with a 2:0 score and took their spot in the group stage.

Only one more CS:GO qualifier is left, and only two more spots in the group stage. If you want to enter the league and compete with the region’s best, sign up NOW!

KATAI and Velez Mostar secured group stage in A1AL

The CS:GO competition officially started yesterday. A little less than 40 teams registered for this qualifier, and we have seen some interesting matches. The teams that were successful and already secured their spot in the group stage in the tenth A1 Adria League season are KATAI and Velez Mostar.

Two more chances remain

Not much has changed this season in the CS:GO competition. Unlike Brawl Stars and FIFA, CS:GO has the overall three qualifier cups. Two teams from each qualifier advance to the next stage of the competition. This week the two teams that came out victorious are KATAI and Velez Mostar. They showed the best performance and can now be at peace until the start of the league.

We have seen some familiar names yesterday during the qualifier such as Cyber Wolves, Jake Bube, KTRL, and many others. Cyber Wolves with their newly signed CS:GO roster managed to reach the 4th round or quarterfinals, before being eliminated by none other than KATAI. Jake Bube is a well-known team that’s being led by Mladen Jurić from Relog Media. This squad is very active lately, and we have had the opportunity to follow them in many tournaments.

KTRL is a Romanian organization that has great potential to make it to the top. Seeing as they acquired many talented players from the region such as Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac. Sarenii is a familiar name in the region, he played for 4glory with whom he won many tournaments including Esport Adria Prvenstvo and Kuvo OneTap in 2021. An ex Zero Tenacity player Dejan “Katalić” Koprivica is also a member of KTRL, as well as Miloš “dEE” Marčeta. With this roster, we can expect a lot from KTRL.

Since the first qualifier is over, there are only two more chances to enter the league. Who will join KATAI and Velez Mostar we will see in our remaining two qualifiers. The second one is scheduled for next Sunday, September 18th, so don’t waste any time, and sign up HERE!

BLUEJAYS take the ninth CS:GO title in A1AL!

The biggest competition in the A1 Adria League has finally gotten its champion for this season. Macedonian squad BLUEJAYS justified the role of favorite and took home the title and a 2500€ prize.

aidKiT led his team to success

The playoff stage of CS:GO this season was played for two days during ROGW, semifinals were scheduled for Saturday, while the decider for third place and the grand final we watched on Sunday.

In the first semifinals, our new champion BLUEJAYS took down Zero Tenacity without much trouble. BJ was a big favorite in this matchup, but Z10 gave their best. aidKiT was a leading protagonist on Inferno and Mirage, where BJ got their wins. Z10 managed to take only 14 rounds in two games (Inferno – 16:10, Mirage – 16:4).

The second semifinal matchup was between Blink and 0to100. It was an intense fight between these two teams, and Blink decided not to choose their favorite map Ancient because of an update and the changes on this map, so they had to adapt quickly. BledarD was the best player on the server with as many as 53 kills (Dust2 – 16:8, Inferno – 16:10).

On Sunday, the CS:GO competition opened with a bo1 decider for the third place and a 1000€ prize. depreshn and xicoz were the ones who took 0to100 to victory and secured them third place in this year’s competition. The game on Nuke was really close, but Zero Tenacity just wasn’t lucky.

The final itself was a fast one for BLUEJAYS. Even though Blink was one of the strongest teams this season, there was nothing they could do to this BJ roster. Both maps, Dust2 and Inferno, ended with the same score, 16:7 in favor of the Macedonian squad. The interesting thing is that BJ played this stage of the competition with a substitute. CacaNito couldn’t perform so his place took Necrogenes1s who in the past had already won the title twice in A1 Adria League.

  1. BLUEJAYS – (aidKiT, kyxsan, dan1, CacaNito, stYleEeZ, sub: Necrogenes1s) – 2500€
  2. Team Blink – (gulito, Caleyy, 2high, BledarD, vAloN) – 1500€
  3. 0to100 – (NENO, br0, Sterzig, DEPRESHN, HEv1x,, sub: xicoz) – 1000€
  4. Zero Tenacity – (simke, brutmonster, Cjoffo, nEMANHA, Katalic)

 

Which CS:GO team is going to take the A1AL trophy this season?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Next weekend the fans will be able to enjoy the best four CS:GO teams fight for the prize and the title of the best team in the ninth season of the A1 Adria League. BLUEJAYS, Blink, 0to100, and Zero Tenacity will battle for the 5000€ prize pool. The semifinals and finals will be played on June 18th and 19th.

Four teams, one trophy!

One of the biggest favorites for winning the title is as expected BLUEJAYS. The Macedonian squad is currently ranked in the top 40 best teams in the world. They keep showing great performance from one tournament to the other. Recently they managed to win third place in CEE Championship, and besides that, they have an IESF World Championship under their name, as well as many other good placements in tournaments. They finished the group stage without a defeat, and a lot is expected from them.

aidkiT: “The fact that we are favorites won’t have any impact on our gameplay. Nowadays Counter-Strike is much more interactive and there are more surprises, so we will just stick to our game. Blink is one of the teams that can make an upset and to play against Oto100 and Zero Tenacity wont be easy either, seeing that both of these teams have good results at the Balkan level.”

The Albanian squad Blink is one of the title contenders this year. Blink led by gulito managed to secure this spot right after BLUEJAYS with a 3:1 score, losing only to the Macedonians. Blink is also a familiar name in the region, we have seen them many times in A1 Adria League and they also have good results in the region. They finished 3rd/4th at the Pinnacle Fall Series #3 which is a great success, and they are the vice-champions of the sixth A1AL season.

gulito: “Group stage went well for us and we were pretty prepared for that results, for the upcoming matches in a playoff we expect a win from our side and hopefully we will try our best in that way as we deserve to win. We are so excited to play in the playoffs and we will be hard opponents for everyone there.”

The last two teams of this year’s CS:GO playoff had a hard fight with each other. 0to100 managed to upset Zero Tenacity at one point, and snatch them the spot in the playoffs. Oto100 secured this stage of the competition with a 3:1 score as well and NENO and the squad will make the end of this tournament very interesting.

Zero Tenacity after their loss to Oto100 had only one more chance to make it to the big stage. They finally did it, and during that journey, they eliminated one of the favorites 4glory. Besides A1AL this squad we could have seen in the tournaments such as Kuvo OneTap and RES, and they have won the second SCL season. Katalić was one of the main reasons this newly formed team is here now.

Katalić: “Our goal is to win the league, and to show that we can play good CS:GO with everyone in the region. The competition is really strong, each team is in a good form, but I think the biggest problem for us could be Oto100. Besides Oto100 I think we can be a serious problem to our opponents because we play without any pressure. We are a new team with a little practice and dangerous aim, and exactly that can give us an edge in 2v5 and 3v5 situations where we can win clutch rounds.”

Zero Tenacity eliminated 4glory and secured the last spot in the top 4!

The last match of the CS:GO group stage finished last night, and we have gotten the last team in the A1 Adria League playoffs. The last spot for a chance to fight for the title went into the hands of Zero Tenacity who against all odds eliminated 4glory.

Zero Tenacity upset 4glory

As a reminder of how great this victory was, Z10 fought their way here throughout the A1AL qualifiers, while 4glory was one of the invited squads. In the end, it was Zero Tenacity who with a 2:1 score came out victorious and advanced further in the competition.

On Mirage, 4glory was the better squad. The match suffices to say, started heavily in their favor with a 12:4 score. c0llins was the best player on the Serbian squad with 20 kills in the first 15 rounds. However, the second half saw Z10 make a comeback. 4glory struggled to end the map in their favor, and they managed to do it but it wasn’t an easy task. In the end, Mirage ended with a 16:11 score.

The second game was played on Dust2 and it was a real nail-biter. Each team was eager to secure this map, and the first half ended with a 7:8 score for 4glory. The second half wasn’t so different as we reached an even score of 14:14 before the decider round. In the end, Zero Tenacity won the last two rounds, so the map didn’t go to overtime, and Z10 evens the overall score to 1:1. Kinnd0 from 4g and Katalić from Z10 had the same amount of kills (25), which shows how close the second match was.

The third and deciding match was played on Nuke where Z10 had a great start on the CT side with an 11:4 score. But seeing that Nuke is a heavily CT-oriented map, there was still a chance for 4glory to make a comeback, and that’s what everyone has been expecting with the change of sides. This team managed to secure 5 straight rounds, but it wasn’t enough as Zero Tenacity won the remaining rounds and secured the playoffs.

Zero Tenacity will now join BLUEJAYS, Blink, and Oto100 in a battle for the title of the best CS:GO team in the region.

Oto100 upsets Z10 and advances to playoff!

Another exciting day for CS:GO fans. After intense three maps, we have gotten yet another team that secures their spot in the playoff stage in A1 Adria League. Oto100 joins BLUEJAYS and Blink as the third team in the top 4.

Underdog Oto100 surprised

Last night only one match was played, but it was a biggie. The best-of-three duel between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity went into the hands of the former team who now secured the next stage in the league. Both teams had the same score before this duel, 2:1. This match meant the winner will go to join BLUEJAYS and Blink who already secured the playoff. In the end, Oto100 surprised everyone with their extraordinary performance and with a 2:1 score is now safe in the top 4.

Even though the first map, Inferno, went into the hands of Zero Tenacity, they lost the next two. In the first map for Z10 the best player was Katalić who had 25 frags and carried his team. However he lost focus and underperformed in the last two maps, and it lead to his team losing the match.

On the second map Mirage, we have seen a big comeback from Oto100. Z10 started good on this map and had a big lead, but their opponent managed to come back and the game went into overtime. There Oto100 came on top with Xicoz as the best player. The deciding game was played on Nuke and it was a clear win for Oto100. Z10 totally failed on the third map and eventually Oto with the 16:10 score won the series.

Zero Tenacity has one more chance to secure the playoffs, but it will be a hard task seeing their opponent will be 4glory. This matchup is the last of the group stage, and only one team can move forward!

 

Blink advances to the playoff stage with the win over XTEAM!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The group stage of CS:GO competition in the A1 Adria League is soon coming to an end. Last night the fourth round began and we have already seen two teams get eliminated, while one advanced to the next stage of the tournament. Blink is the second team to secure their spot in the playoff, while two more teams after ghoulsW left the league.

Blink joins BLUEJAYS in the playoffs

Yesterday we have seen two Bo3 matches. The first was between 4glory and Monad eSport, and they played all three maps. Both of these teams before this duel had the same score of 1:2 so this match decided who will stay in the league. 4glory in the end came on top, won the first and third match on Inferno and Dust2, while aVN had the most frags in the whole series, 58 overall.  Monad had a great run and showed decent performance, their main player in this duel was PTKKK who secured them the win on Vertigo, but it still wasn’t enough. They didn’t stand a chance on the third map and are now leaving the A1AL.

The second match of the day was played between Blink and XTEAM. Seeing as Blink had a 2:1 score, and XTEAM had 1:2, these teams fought for different things. Blink needed the win to advance to the playoffs, while XTEAM hoped to stay in the league. Unfortunately for XTEAM, Blink was the one who in the end came out victorious and advanced to the next stage. They are the second team to do that, right after BLUEJAYS.

Things were looking good for XTEAM at the beginning. They won the first match on Ancient, which was in fact Blink’s pick, and it seemed like it would be an easy 2:0 win for Gejmzilla’s squad since the second map was their pick. However, Blink managed to pull a comeback on Vertigo and make sure the game would go to all three maps. Inferno went into overtime, but in the end, with 19:16 gulito’s Blink defeated the opponent. XTEAM is the third team to be eliminated so far.

On Saturday another exciting Bo3 duel is waiting for you. Don’t miss the action between Oto100 and Zero Tenacity!
