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

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

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.

Another weekend is over and another A1AL recap is here for you! Brawl Stars and CS2 teams are grinding to get to the finals, while EAFC24 fans already got their champions. In both mobile and PS versions of the game. Did Brstimir finally get to take the title or did someone else beat him? Did Shaq defend his title, or did we get a new EAFC24 Mobile champion? Find out the answers to all these questions below!

Frutas and M4M victorious in the BS upper bracket

Frutas once again without many problems defeated their opponents La Aquilla with a 3-1 score. M4M was also successful in besting OOB1 with the same score (3-1).

Frutas classically dominant against La Aquilla, they had one bad clean due to some trolling, but at least it resulted in probably the best play this season. On the other hand, M4M were underdogs because of the seed, but they showed themselves quite well against OOB1. The only team to beat Frutas this season. And even though it was 3-1, the matches were much more tense than the result suggests.

In the losers bracket, however, OOB1 was stable and easily defeated Team Cherry without losing a single game. Team Cherry simply wasn’t good enough for this stage of the tournament. Furthermore, the most exciting match this round was the other loser’s bracket duel between Delulu and La Aquilla. La Aquilla quite deservedly came out of that clash as a victor.

Superior Esports is the first A1AL finalist of the season!

In the first match of the day, we saw Kubix and BeFive fight for survival in the CS2 lower bracket. Kubix went into this match as a favorite and after a rocky start, they justified that role. On BeFive’s pick, this team takes the first eight rounds. However, that’s all Kubix let them do. They go into a frenzy, take the game into overtime, and win the first map with a 16-13 score. On their pick, it was a routine game for Kubix as expected which ended with a 13-7 score, therefore eliminating BeFive from the tournament.

The upper bracket finals were played between PROMETEY and Superior Esports. The first map was really close where PROMETEY takes the breakpoint from Superior and wins 13-11. The next one was a swift game for Superior and MATHEOS as they won 13-5 evening out the overall score. The decider on Anubis started evenly with a 7-5 score at halftime. But once again the extraordinary MATHEOS takes the initiative and leads his team to the finals ending the game 13-9.

To summarize, Superior secures a spot in the finals, and PROMETEY falls into the lower bracket where Kubix is waiting. So next week tune in to watch the lower bracket finals between PROMETEY and Kubix. The winner will take on Superior in the grand finals which will also be streamed next week.

Shaq and Marac game on are the EAFC champions!

Both semifinal duels in EAFC24 Mobile were as exciting as ever. In the first one, Nikolas7 lost to Savazver with a 2-1 score, while Shaq demolished Ogii in the second semi with a 2-0. Before the finals, in the fight for the third place, Nikolas7 was this time victorious, taking down Ogii with 2-0.

In the grand finals in front of 111 live viewers, Shaq without any problems defeats his opponent Sava with a 3-1 score and secures the second A1AL title, and becomes the champion of the 13th season.

The third time is the charm! Marac game on wins the first A1AL title after his third participation in the finals. The marathon extra time did not stop Marac in his quest to finally win the title of the best regional EAFC24 player, thus ending the reign of Tarik Novo. He left behind Cyber_Fico, CLA_Banderas, and Brstimir, who despite all their effort couldn’t defeat Marac. 

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

EAFC24 group stage results

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.

EAFC24 Mobile group stage results

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.

Official Announcement on the Disqualification of Team The Wild Ones

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Cheating undermines the integrity of competitive esports, and it’s always disappointing when we must address such issues in our tournaments. This is A1 Adria League’s official announcement on the disqualification of CS2 team The Wild Ones.

A1 Adria League maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards cheating

We never like it when such a situation occurs, but we have to act upon any cheating in our tournament. In the 13th season of the A1 Adria League, team The Wild Ones was disqualified in the group stage of CS2. Their last few matches were brought to our attention. We gathered a lot of proof of suspicious situations, and all were looked at by our administration team. Ultimately, we decided to disqualify them based on the firm believe they have been using a radar hack.

Additionally, we received a report from IESF and their analysis of the Team Croatia which led to their disqualification from the IESF World Esports Championship 2024: East European Qualifier. They revealed that the team had been using programs that were giving an unfair advantage. The program was supposedly used in the match against Israel. Everyone received a half-year ban from participating in FISSURE tournaments. Furthermore, this was their second ban in a row.

As far as A1 Adria League is concerned, we made some changes to the bracket and reverted the matches The Wild Ones played. This week we are continuing with the CS2 tournament and two Bo3 matches will be played in the lower bracket. For more information make sure to follow our social media accounts and watch us on stream.

A1AL recap brings the TOP 8 in both EAFC games and Brawl Stars!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Another week of matches in the A1AL season 13 is behind us. We are getting closer and closer to the finals and to crowning the best player/team of the season. This past week we narrowed it down to the best eight EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile players and the best eight Brawl Stars teams. Read on to find out who made the cut!

Frutas on top with 75 points

Let’s begin with the Brawl Stars. The fourth and last qualifier in the A1 Adria League was played on the 12th of this month and there weren’t many surprises. As we know Salada de Frutas so far has been dominating the opponent, with one exception. OOB1 in the third qualifier succeeded in taking max points and defeating Salada in the finals.

This qualifier we were supposed to see the clash of these two teams at the very start of the bracket. However, OOB1 couldn’t make it to the tournament so Salada got an automatic win. That’s all they needed to sweep up the rest of the competition and once again come on top. A fun fact is Salada was playing with a second team so to speak, and still without problems secured the first place. The other side of the bracket was more interesting, and here is who made it to the group stage:

Who will be the new EAFC24 champion in the A1AL?

If we are talking about EAFC24, we will have a new champion of the A1 Adria League this season. Tarik Novo failed to qualify for the playoff stage of A1AL and now a new winner will be crowned. Apart from him, many favorites who had bad form in the first part of the competition didn’t make it through which none of us expected. This opened up a lot of space for the underdogs, which they knew how to take advantage of. It was Marac who eliminated Novo and secured his spot.

From the top of the table, the guys with the most points (Mupi, Misko, Brstimir, Hara, and Marac) made it through to the top eight. The biggest surprise of this tournament stage was CLA_Banderas who only had 50 points, and CLA_Jokertole and Klaic with only 40 points. They were hugging the bottom of the standings and they now might win the league. Next Saturday (20/07) these players will be split into two groups of four, where the best four will advance to the finals.

Four Buducnost players advance in EAFC24 Mobile

In EAFC24 Mobile last matches of group C and D were played on the weekend. The matches in Group C brought us a lot of excitement, but also two goals by a la Zlatan Ibrahimović. The favorite of the group and the champion of the Balkans, Shaq from Fantastic Esports, secured first place with a sure game after his two matches. The second favorite, SavaZver from Spartak, was lucky as the other results coincided and he went to the knockout phase with only seven points.

In group D, Hazne from Buducnost showed all the splendor of his high-pressing tactics, conceding only 3 goals in 6 matches. The second place was taken by former A1AL caster Nikolas7 from Buducnost eSports, who also lived up to expectations. 

Here is who made it through:

  • BUD_Nerko
  • BUD_Nikolas7
  • BUD_skrebo98
  • SPK_SavaZver
  • FE_Shaq
  • SPK_Lazovic
  • BUD_hazne
  • RAB_Ogiii

This list shows how important being in a team is. I would recommend all young players who want to turn pro to follow their lead.  And if you want to find out how to do that, click HERE.

Stay tuned since next week, on Saturday (20/07) you will be able to see clashes between:

  • Nerko VS Nikolas7
  • skrebo98 VS SavaZver
  • Shaq VS Lazovic
  • Hazne VS Ogii

Who shapes the growth of regional esports?

/0 Comments/in /by

As we know gaming is one of the biggest industries in the world and esports is getting more and more attention by the day. Eastern countries were the first to recognize its potential, and then Europe, and North and South America followed. Today we have successful esports tournaments all around the world.

A1 Adria League has been active for a long time now, actively working on improving esports in the Adriatic region, but there are many organizations that have been supporting the same story and providing a battlefield where the regional esports players will shine.

Regional esports organizations

There are a lot of positive examples of regional organizations that want to bring regional esports to a higher level. Good Game Global is a familiar name in regional esports as well and they had their mark in the growth of competitive esports, raising popularity in the b2b sectors and of course running their own league for students… They have been creating esports content, influencer campaigns, and other esports initiatives since 2016.

Fortuna Esports with their EBL franchise have been shaping careers for many League of Legends superstars who had their shine in the most prestigious organizations in the world. OGA Dota Pit brought an official Minor event to Croatia alongside teams like Fnatic, Astralis, Liquid, OG, … and what can we even say about Relog Media who surpassed the region a long time ago, but they are still supporting local players with invites to their multi-million dollar tournaments.

Some of the events to mention are Rikon, primarily a science fiction convention that sometimes organizes smaller esports tournaments. Then we would also mention Fantastic Esports and their Fantastic Gaming Show, Beyond Esports Conference, local events and tournaments ran by esports federations, and more.

 

A1 Adria League is one of the projects that is doing the most for the region. We have been active since 2017. Since then we have had 12 successful seasons (the 13th is ongoing). Every year we have more and more players who want to compete and maybe get a chance to be recognized by someone. Just last year we had:

  • over 250 hours streamed
  • 200k live views
  • 95k live viewers
  • over 1000 players

Is the Adriatic region giving any future to the players?

The fact that esports isn’t taken seriously is mostly affecting the players who don’t have a future here but need to play for foreign organizations and teams. The most recent cases are the players from Guild Eagles. RigoN just signed for BIG, while juanflatroo and sinnopsyy went to ITB, and we all know the quality of these players.

This is why A1AL is doing the most for the region. Even though the players at the moment don’t have a bright future with domestic teams, they get recognized playing our tournaments. Some of the players who played in A1AL and are now in Europe are:

  • Rigon “rigoN” Gashi – Played for BNE/Guild Eagles – Just a couple of days ago signed for BIG
  • Dionis “sinnopsyy” Budeci and Flatron “juanflatroo” Halimi – Played for BNE/Guild Eagles and recently signed to play under ITB (UK org)
  • Pavle “maden” Bošković – ATM plays for Falcons, previously played for ENCE
  • Toni “Sacre” Sabalić – Played for SK Gaming, currently at Schalke 04
  • Dino “LIMIT” Tot – As a player, we have seen him at SK Gaming, Schalke 04, and BDS, currently he is the assistant coach for SK
  • Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač i Nemanja “nexa” Isaković – won our A1AL season 2 with Valiance&Co, currently at G2 Esports

A1AL recap: CS2 and EAFC Mobile group stage results as BS finished third qualifier

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

We have arrived at the fifth A1AL recap in the 13th season. CS2 and EAFC24 Mobile are playing their group-stage matches, while Brawlers are still trying to make it there. Things are getting more and more intense as we are drawing near to the playoffs. Read what happened this past week and see how your favorite teams/players performed.

Intense CS2 group stage in A1AL

This week we had the opportunity to follow two duels on the A1AL stream. The first one was The Wild Ones (TWO) taking on Superior Esports and securing a win with a 2:0 score. In the other matchup PROMETEY succeeded against their opponent GIZONE with a 2:1. Let’s take a look at each duel separately.

The Wild Ones victory

The Wild Ones started the first match on Mirage magnificently. They opened the game well by sticking to mid and a B site. That brought them a nice lead of 7-2. They were taking easy rounds without sacrificing a single player on the team making it 9-3 at half. In the second half, we saw a little bit more of Superior Esports. They woke up and managed to get close to their enemies (11-8). After that all hell broke loose and Superior was close to evening up the score when TWO after three match points ended the game (13-11).

The second match was played on Ancient and it was a purely one-sided half. TWO dominated their opponents not letting them breathe. The half ended with 9-3 again in favor of The Wild Ones. Once again, the second half is when Superiror wakes up. After an 11-3 score they took some rounds, but it wasn’t good enough. With an aggressive push towards the A site, The Wild Ones take the enemies down and close the match with a 13-9 score.

PROMETEY takes the win after three games

Prometey had a good start on their pick (Ancient) but the result came slowly. On the wings of KdaN, who had 17 frags in the first half, PROMETEY takes the half with 7-5. After that, GIZONE takes the initiative and takes the lead at 8-7. That lead does not last long but reaches 9-7, after which KdaN wakes up again. Prometey does not drop a single round after that and they return to the game and take the map with a score of 13-9.

On GIZONE’s map pick Anubis, this team dominates their opponents. Even though PROMETEY woke up for a couple of rounds during the game, GIZONE was pretty convincing. They were especially strong on the T side as the game went in their favor with a 12-6 score. A small delay caused by PROMETEY who took only two rounds, led to the final victory of GIZONE with 13-8.

The decider on Mirage was completely even-steven as the first half ended at 7-5 for GIZONE. It was a very back-and-forth game. In the second half, PROMETEY takes the lead but loses it very quickly as GIZONE takes the charge. In the end, the score was 10-10. GIZONE takes the lead once again winning the following round, however, they make a mistake which PROMETEY takes advantage of ending the game in their favor.

CS2 A1AL group stage results

EAFC Mobile A1AL Group A and B results

The first A1AL group stage results for EAFC24 Mobile are in. This week we saw matches in groups A and B. As far as A group is concerned, it was Bojce who secured the top spot with his amazing performance. However, since this young talent has to leave the competition for personal reasons he is automatically placed last. In the lead of group A right now is Nerko from Buducnost eSport, followed by Ogi and another Buducnost player Haverz.

In group B another player from Buducnost eSport is at the top of the table with 12 points and that’s Skrebo98. The second place is taken by a Spartak player Lazovic with 10 points, followed by Sveta and another player from Spartak Somzi.

Next week we will stream groups C and D after which only the top eight will continue to the next stage. Stay tuned for that!

EAFC24 Mobile first round of group stage

OOB1 wins the third BS qualifiers

This is the first time we have had a smooth sailing qualifier when it comes to administration. After many problems last qualifier, this time the team from A1 Adria League came on top. As far as the competition is concerned, it is the same old same old. Salada de Frutas once again sweeps their side of the bracket making it to the finals like it’s nothing. OOB1 did the same thing on the other side of the bracket reaching the final mini boss.

It was OOB1 this time who emerged victorious from the finals of the third A1AL qualifier with a score of 3:1, letting Salada only one game. Now even though Salada didn’t secure max points in this qualifier they are still in the lead overall with 40 points. They are followed by none other than OOB1 with 20 points. Third place is La Aquilla, followed by Team Cherry and M4M.

Another A1AL weekly recap is here as our EAFC players secure groups!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

This week we have finally selected the best EAFC24 players both on console and mobile. On the other hand, Brawl Stars is halfway there when it comes to their qualifier cups in A1AL. And as we know CS2 groups are getting more interesting with each match. Read all the details of this week’s tournaments in the 13th season of A1 Adria League.

Who are the A1AL top 16 in EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile?

Let’s begin with the soccer players from the EAFC24 game that made their way into the league. Firstly, the fourth qualifier was a real nail-biter. In the end, for the second time this season, Mupi takes maximum points. With two victories, he secured a total of 200 points, which put him at the top of the table. This season, points are crucial since the top 4 will be the holders of the groups.

In the finals of this qualifier, CLA_Marac was Mupi’s opponent, who took second place which enabled him to qualify further. Fifteen players have been confirmed, as four players will fight for the last place in the group: Cyber_Fico, Cera, Fika, and Barba. 

So, at the end of the EAFC qualifiers in the A1AL, Mupi is in first place with 200 points. Behind him are Misko with 160, Brstimir with 10 less, and Hara with 100 points. Our six-time champion Tarik Novo only has 70 points, but as we know he always somehow manages to get to the finals, so I’m not worried about him.

A1AL S13 EAFC24 4th qualifier results

As far as EAFC24 Mobile is concerned, in the last qualifiers, we had the opportunity to see Albin and Paka, two players from Montenegro, for the first time. Unfortunately, Paka failed to qualify for the group stage, unlike Albin. On the other hand, Nikolas7, our last year’s FC Mobile commentator, won the fourth qualifier which puts him at the top of the table. Furthermore, two players from Buducnost eSport (Nikolas7 and Skrebo98) were in the finals, which happened for the first time as well. 

To summarize the qualifiers, Nikolas7 is at the top with 320 points. Behind him are Skrebo98 with 300 and Bojce with 290. Fourth place is taken by SavaZver, while our last year’s champion Shaq is fifth with 160 points.

A1AL S13 EAFC24 Mobile 4th qualifiers

Same old on the Brawl Stars front – Salada on top in A1AL

Same as last week, our veterans and previous champions Salada de Frutas came on top of another qualifier cup. They now have 40 points and are very secure. They even showed a more dominating performance this time not losing a single set in the whole 2nd qualifier.

The upper part of the bracket was full of good teams (M4M, Frutas, OOB1 vs F/A Inazuma, Delulu), so it was a little one-sided, i.e. the teams that were lucky enough to be on the other side of the bracket got the points. OOB1 is at the moment second with 20 points and we can also expect to see them in the group stage of A1AL.

A1AL S13 BS 2nd qualifier

The Wild Ones and Superior Esports take their first wins

This week two CS2 matches were on the schedule in the group stage of A1AL. The Wild Ones took on Cupava Veverica, while in the second match, we watched Superior Esports vs BeFive. Both matches ended without the use of a decider map.

In the first duel, The Wild Ones win the first four rounds on Inferno. Then Cupava Veverica stops their opponents in a flash, who don’t need long to make a new streak and pick up where they left off. With a score of 7:1, they had the match in their hands. However, they make a small mistake in giving two easy frags and lose the round. The first half ended with a score of 10:2.

In all rounds, the players pushed A, mid, and, B. There were no rules, just run, jump, shoot. In the second half, Cupava Veverica struck back with the same measure at the beginning, they took a pistol round, defended themselves from force buy, and against eco they connected three in a row.
On Mirage we saw a 10:5 half for The Wild Ones, who didn’t take a long time to finish the second game and take the first win in groups. Last two rounds on CT they only pushed mid and finished the job. 

A nailbiter on Ancient and Mirage

In the second duel of this group stage round things were a lot closer as games ended with 13:10 and 13:11 scores. BeFive opens Ancient with two rounds in a row on the CT side. However, then Superior Esports connects seven rounds in a row without much difficulty focusing only on attacking sites without going mid. Towards the end of the half, BeFive somehow pulls out two more rounds and the half is suddenly decent 8:4.

BeFive on T starts well, but they lose the first buy round, which opens the opportunity for them to reset the opponents. That is exactly what they do and the game is even again. After that BeFive confidently takes the lead. However, Superior Esports with great holds take the last four rounds in a row to make the final 13:10 score.

On Mirage BeFive starts well as they take the first four rounds. After that everything that could have gone wrong for this team has. Superior took all the rounds until the end of half (8:4). On the CT side, however, BeFive woke up from their sleep and even up the score followed by a won round to take the lead. Similar to Ancient. In those moments, history repeats itself. Superior pulls out the round from their sleeve. They take advantage of the enemy’s mistakes and close the game 13-10.

The group stage has started, and the DE bracket is being played. The first BO3 matches played were between Kubix vs PROMETEY and Bagra vs GIZONE. Let’s take a look at the first match. 

PROMETEY decided on Ancient as their map pick. However, that didn’t turn out quite as planned for them. Only the pistol round was successful in the first half. Kubix ended this half with a big 10-2 advantage. Amar finds three kills in the second half and secures a victory for his team (13-2).

On Anubis, PROMETEY and Kubix switched places. This time PROMETEY was 10-2 after the first half. At 12-2, Kubix wakes up and imposes their play style. Amar opens the B site almost every round. At 12-7, Rile saves AWP, and in the next round, that AWP is of great importance. At 12:8, Wazz pushes B main and finds a frag, while Rile helps him find another one. At this point everything falls apart for Kubix and PROMETEY takes the map with 13-8.

A very close first half was seen on the decider map which was Mirage. A little struggle for Kubix and a great play from PROMETEY in multiple rounds lead us to the 7-5 score at the half. In the second half, Kubix on the T side plays strongly and takes an 8-7 lead. PROMETEY manages to take the round and equalize the result at 8-8 and with an excellent game returns to the lead of 10-8. But that lead did not last long. On the wings of Lewis, Kubix returns to 10-10. But again a reversal, the powerful Prometey arrives at 12-10 where Gejmzilla has a planted bomb and remains in a 2v1 situation where he knifes the defuser and finds another kill. That brings us to 12-11. After that, two rounds were taken by the MIGHTY PROMETEUS sending Kubix to the lower bracket of A1AL.

GIZONE is victorious after two games only

On Inferno, GIZONE is completely dominating the first half on their CT side. They rarely let Bagra even plant the bomb, and when they did, it was an easy defuse for their opponents. Even though the first half ended with 9-3, Bagra wasn’t going to fall that easily. After 11-4, they begin to wake up. They managed to reach 12-9 and the possibility of a comeback shone before their eyes. Unfortunately, GIZONE opens the next round with two frags and finishes what they started taking the first map with a 13-9 score.

Crazy first half on Mirage. GIZONE takes the first three rounds, but Bagra with astonishing gameplay after that takes seven in a row. After 7-5 half, GIZONE takes the lead at 11-9 after a few very close rounds. However, Bagra doesn’t surrender and they then take the lead (12-11). After missing the match point, the game goes into overtime. Both teams did great on the CT side of overtime. But in the end, GIZONE pushes short and wins with a 16-14 score.

CS2 group stage A1AL

Brstimir wins the third EAFC24 qualifier

The fact that some of the favorites secured a place in the top 16 of A1AL after two qualifiers opened up space for new players to get points. Milos “Brstimir” Majdevac missed the second qualification, but in the third, he came for the full spoils and thus definitely secured his place in the group stage. In the finals, his opponent was his old rival Harun “Hara” Parla, who after a difficult victory in the first game, he routinely defeated in the second with a score of 7-1.

Jovan “CZBackoSRB” Balać gave us the biggest surprise, by winning 3rd place and is now on the threshold of the group stage. Along with Brstimir, Misko, and Cere, CZBacko has brightened the face of Serbia in the A1 Adria League, which until now was mainly led only by Brstimir.

Skrebo98 secures maximum points in the third A1AL EAFC24 Mobile qualifier

Another great competition in the third EAFC24 Mobile qualifier in the A1AL as 240 players signed up.

The third qualification brought the new-old champion of the Balkans, Shaq, almost to full glory. He won in the quarterfinals against the best overall scorer, Bojce. However, he was very close to coming out first from these qualifications. This time that honor belongs to the Buducnost eSports player Skrebo98 from Bosnia.

Their duel, after a draw in the first match, and the triumph of one after the other, was decided by a golden goal, in the 55th minute of the 4th match. An unfortunate deflected ball after a free kick ended up in the upper left corner of Shaq’s goal.

In the overall standing, Bojce still leads with 290 points, followed by Savazver, Skrebo98, and Shaq respectively.

EAFC24 Mobile third qualifier A1AL

Is Salada de Frutas back for more titles?

This week we began the Brawl Stars qualifiers. BS has been a standard game in the A1AL for many seasons. In the 13th season, we will host four qualifiers. The first is already over, and it ended with Salada de Frutas demolishing their opponents and winning maximum points. They showed extraordinary performance and didn’t lose a single game until the finals. There they faced team FBI, and in the BO5 duel won with a 3-1 score. Our three-time champions changed their roster with only DzonDzon remaining at the moment.

However, not all news is good. We have had some problems in the first BS qualifier. The problems with the FaceIT platform led to many misunderstandings and unfortunately, teams were injured for their points.

“I would like to apologize to everyone immediately because of yesterday’s events. The way the qualifiers were held yesterday did not live up to the A1 Adria League standard, as we always try to give our players the best possible playing experience with a healthy dose of competition. Unfortunately, that was not possible yesterday due to things beyond our control.

We will no longer rely on Facit’s automatic matchmaking system, as it has proven to be extremely unreliable and inaccurate. From the next qualifier, all matches will be monitored and recorded manually, and all communication between players will be conducted via Faceit rooms, and results will be reported to the channel ⁠💯✦results✦ on Discord.” – Inder, Brawl Stars administrator

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

You have waited long enough. The new season of A1 Adria League is here. This weekend we have witnessed so many interesting games in the first qualifiers in CS2, EAFC24, and EAFC24 Mobile. These qualifiers, of the 13th season of A1AL, turn out to be the one of the most successful ones yet! And we’ve only just started! Imagine what the league is going to be like. Stay with us until the end!

Four CS2 teams secured the groups

Unlike last seasons where we had three of four qualifiers in CS2, this year there are only two opportunities to secure the group stage and your place among the best. With the first qualifier over, four teams advanced to the next stage and are awaiting their opponents. The winners of the first CS2 qualifiers, out of 42 signed-up teams, are:

  • KubiX
  • Spotify
  • Bagra
  • The Wild ones

As always, we have followed the most interesting matches on stream. We followed Clan RUR, which took its first match to overtime against the main lineup team. They managed to beat them at 16:14, but then they come to Anubis against the playful team Spotify, which won 13:3. After that, we followed the BO3 between Kosovar Kubix and the Cupava Veverica team. The latter picks Anubis and loses 13:9, but after that, they go to Dust 2 (Kibix’s pick) and win 13-11 in a tense map. At Vertigo, a slightly better performance by Kubix, where Cupava Veverica misses a lot of opportunities and again loses, this time with a 13-8.

EAFC24 games amounted to almost 400 players combined

Besides CS2, we’ve had our first A1AL qualifier cups in EAFC24 and its mobile counterpart. While in EAFC24 we had a full bracket of players, all 128, 210 people signed up for the mobile version. The competition has never been this fierce and this is only a preview of what the league will look like this season.

EAFC24 in A1AL wouldn’t be what it is without our veterans such as Novo, our six-time champion, Brstimir, Hara, Jasik, and many others. Some of the familiar names managed to score the first points while the other will have to wait for the next qualifier. Two rivals, Brstimir and Novo got to the semis, where one was defeated, while the other one moved on to the finals. Brstimir lost to Misko who then went on to win the whole thing. While on the other side Novo bested Jocko in the other semi.

Things were also explosive in the EAFC24 mobile qualifier. Out of 210 players, one managed to win the most points and put himself in the best position. Savazver showed his quality and secured 180 points. Fcsveta was the next most successful player of the qualifier with 100 points, while Bojce secured third place and earned 80.

In the mobile version of EAFC24, we also saw some familiar names such as our last season’s champion SHAQ. He, unfortunately, didn’t manage to go far up the ladder in the first qualifier, but he did earn 30 points and put himself on the table. Three more qualifiers are left in both EAFC24 and EAFC24 Mobile after which 16 players from each game will advance to the groups. We are waiting for you. Sign up NOW!
