Top teams set for A1AL Season 14 finals in Zagreb
The A1AL LAN event in Zagreb is closer than ever! This weekend the last group stage rounds were played in CS2, EAFC, and Brawl Stars, as FC Mobile finished the week before. Only the best made it through and we will watch them compete for the champion title live from the 14th to the 17th of November. Currently, only the PUBG competition remains, and it will be played next weekend. But before that, let’s see who secured their spot in the 14th season of the A1 Adria League.
The top four in Brawl Stars competition
As always the first to take the stage were Brawl Stars teams. On Friday the final phase of the online A1AL S14 in Brawl Stars was played, where teams competed to join Frutas at the LAN final in Zagreb. As you know, Frutas already secured their spot, with impeccable performance the previous weekend.
In the first match of the day, Fantastic eSport defeated La Masia 3:0. Fantastic eSport had a second chance to reach the top 4, making the most of it with a 2:0 win in Gem Grab, a 2:1 win in Bounty, and a 2:0 win in Hot Zone. With only one lost set, they secured their finale spot, ending La Masia’s journey in this A1AL season.
Secondly, Gospodin Adry advanced over FBI by default, as FBI, despite progressing through the main tournament, did not appear on the last online day, automatically giving the win to Gospodin Adry.
Delulu overcame Team Cherry 3:1 in the third match of the competition. Although Team Cherry opened strong with a 2:0 win in Gem Grab, Delulu made a comeback, winning 2:1 in Bounty and 2:1 in Hot Zone, before clinching the final victory in Knockout with a 2:0 win. This turnaround secured Delulu’s spot in the LAN.
Lastly, Gospodin Adry defeated Team Cherry 3:1 for the last spot in the top 4. After advancing directly, Gospodin Adry faced Cherry, who had one last chance to reach the top 4. Gospodin Adry took an early lead with a 2:1 win in Gem Grab, but Cherry equalized after winning 2:1 in Bounty. The two teams battled intensely in Hot Zone, with Gospodin Adry reclaiming the lead after a 2:1 win. In the final round, Gospodin Adry secured their place in the top 4 with a 2:1 victory in Knockout.
A1AL awaiting new EAFC champion
The evening saw intense action in the A1AL EAFC competition, with top players Gruby, Teo, PLGNN Matke, and Nemanja Mišić competing in thrilling matches as they fought for a spot in the final tournament in Zagreb. Marko Grubišić, known as Gruby, and Teo Radman managed to secure their places in the LAN finals after dramatic games filled with skillful play and high-scoring goals.
Champion of the 10th season again at LAN
In the matchup between Gruby and Teo, Gruby won the first game 4:2, with standout performances from Bale and Kvarachelia, who scored pivotal goals. Teo’s scorers, Schelin and Son, couldn’t quite match Gruby’s pace, though they kept it competitive. The second game ended in a 3:3 draw after a hat-trick from Teo’s Vinicius and additional goals from Gruby’s Kvarachelia and Ratter, showcasing the teams’ balanced abilities. With his solid performance, Gruby solidified his position as a contender in the finals.
Meanwhile, in an off-stream match, PLGNN Matke faced Nemanja Mišić, but Mišić dominated with two wins (3:2 and 5:0), effectively eliminating Matke from further competition. Following this, Gruby took on Mišić in a closely contested matchup. Their first game was a 1:1 draw, with goals from Mišić’s Putellas and Gruby’s Mbappe. In the second game, Gruby’s Mbappe scored twice to secure a 2:0 win, demonstrating Gruby’s consistency and advancing him to the top 4.
Teo’s next match was against Matke. Teo won their first off-stream game 5:3 and secured the second game 3:1, with Son and Vinicius scoring late to seal the victory. This result eliminated Matke and set Teo up as a formidable opponent in the upcoming LAN finals. Gruby further cemented his place in the top 4 with another off-stream win over Matke (4:3 and 3:2), confirming his spot among the top players.
Miško dropped the final in a dramatic ending
The final match to determine the LAN qualifiers featured Teo against Mišić. The first game was an intense 2:2 draw, with Mišić initially taking the lead twice through Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. On the other hand, Teo’s Vinicius managed to equalize in stoppage time after a defensive error by van Dijk. In the second game, Mišić again gained a two-goal advantage, thanks to Valverde and Son, but Teo made a stunning comeback. Karolin Graham Hansen scored twice, with Vinicius adding a final goal after an assist from Salah, clinching the match and securing Teo’s spot in the final four.
As the tournament heads to the LAN finals in Zagreb, the lineup is now set. Gruby, Teo, Brstimir, and Parla will compete on November 15th for the title of the best EAFC player in the region. The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the season, with fans eagerly awaiting the crowning of the new A1 Adria League champion.
0to100 and Kubix complete the Season 14 top four in CS2
This Sunday the last two duels were played for the final two A1AL spots in the CS2 competition. After Juggernats and Z10 advanced to the finale, they were joined by 0to100 and Kubix completing the best four teams. Oto100 defeated Baklava Gaming, while Kubix bested GOT.
In the match between 0to100 and Baklava Gaming on Dust II, Baklava began with a strong 5:0 lead. After a timeout, 0to100 rallied, winning six consecutive rounds to take the lead. The first half ended evenly at 6:6. The second half saw 0to100 dominate, conceding only a few rounds to Baklava and ultimately securing a 13:8 victory.
On Mirage, Baklava’s T0mann started with a pistol ACE, helping them win the first three rounds. 0to100 quickly responded, leveling the score at 3:3, then pushing ahead to 4:3. By halftime, 0to100 held an 8:4 advantage. Like Dust II, they claimed the second pistol round and controlled the half, winning Mirage 13:8.
In the GOT versus Kubix matchup, Kubix came out aggressively on Inferno, establishing a 4:0 lead. After exchanging rounds, Kubix closed out Inferno dominantly with a 13:4 score. This was a pretty one-sided game and a clean win for Kubix.
The Dust II game opened with GOT taking a commanding 6:0 lead. Kubix then won four rounds, but GOT closed the half with an 8:4 lead. Kubix recovered in the second half, leveling the score at 8:8 and pulling ahead to 10:8. GOT tied it again at 10:10, but the teams traded rounds in a back-and-forth finish. Ultimately, Kubix edged out GOT with a final score of 13:11. It was amazing and exciting to watch these two teams try so hard to secure the finale. Unfortunately, even though they both showed extraordinary performance, only one could make it.
