Weekly A1AL recap brings you group stage CS2, EAFC, and BS results!
We are already at the seventh weekly A1AL recap. The finals of the 13th season are very near and things are getting heated up. CS2 finished their fourth round of group stage, EAFC24, and EAFC24 Mobile finished their third, while Brawl Stars had just started their climb through this competition stage. Read on to learn how everything went!
Frutas remain dominant in the A1AL group stage
You might be wondering who was the best in this week’s Brawl Stars competition and the answer once again is the same. Its Frutas. They didn’t lose a single game within sets on their playday.
La Aquilla and Team Cherry may have been the tensest match of the day since the sets were repeated due to tied results. They played practically the longest today and proved they are the two teams closest in terms of skill.
The match between Delulu and M4M was delayed only because of internet problems at M4M. Otherwise, it could have ended 3-0 for M4M, but Delulu took advantage of the opportunity and almost won.
In the match between OOB1 and No Excuses, we saw only a slightly worse opening of OOB1 in the first set, but apart from that they passed without major problems. OOB1 is the team who alongside Frutas are favorites for winning the A1 Adria League competition.
In the lower bracket, we saw the clash of FBI and Team Cherry. FBI even though it has two players who won A1 in the past seasons more than once – that’s not it anymore, they seem like they can’t compete at the level of the league anymore. The second match of the lower bracket was played by Delulu and No Excuses. It was the same tense match that could have gone in any direction. I would say that Delulu deservedly went on with a lot of trouble.
EAFC third round group stage results
In this week’s EAFC24 group stage favorites were victorious. In group A, Marac started and finished without a single defeat, which brought great uncertainty in the fight for second place. Even though Marac had already secured a place in the top 4 he didn’t want to lose the rest. He allowed Cyber Fico to qualify by winning over Klaic. Fico then routinely defeated CLA_JokerTole in both matches, and thus together with Marac made it to the top 4.
In group B, brstimir’s magic and his Ronaldhino secured him an easy spot in the finals, while his three opponents had to battle it out for the last spot. Although perhaps the underdog of the group, CLA_Banderas defeated both Hara and Misko with an incredible game, thus ensuring the CLA team an additional slot in the top 4.
Semifinal EAFC24 matches:
- CLA_Banderas VS Marac
- Cyber_Fico VS brstimir
In EAFC24 Mobile Serbian players were more successful than the Bosnian. Shaq, Savazver, and Nikolas were victorious, and from Bosnian representatives, Ogi secured a win.
Nikolas surprised everyone with an extraordinary performance against last season’s A1AL vice champion Nerko from Buducnost. Shaq without any problems won 3-0 against his countryman Lazovic and showed his class once again. Furthermore, the biggest surprise of the stage was Ogi, who with two overtime goals made it through. In two separate games, he scored in the 91st and 92nd minute for the win.
CS2 lower bracket results
This week in A1AL we saw two matches from the lower bracket. One between GIZone and BeFive and the second was Kubix against Cupava Veverica. In the first match, GIZone couldn’t be saved, not even by Katalic, who came as a sub. BeFive was simply better. Shooting Miwo and at times miksoz with timely frags kept BeFive in the lead. They barely won their pick on Dust with 13-11, but on Anubis in the second half they completely crushed GiZone and deservedly took the victory. Now they continue their journey in the lower bracket.
The second match started with the dominance of Kubix on Dust, where the Cupava Veverica team had no chance. Run-and-shoot tactics gave excellent results primarily because of good shooting, running was less important there. On Inferno Cupava Veverica managed to make a few good rounds and show their teeth, but a couple of beginner’s mistakes cost them dearly. In the end, Kubix deservedly goes on and schedules their match against BeFive for next week.
