14th A1AL season kicks off: Qualifiers wrap up and top teams emerge

The league can finally start! The qualifiers of the 14th A1 Adria League season are over in all our main games. While CS2 already began the group stage part of the competition, Brawl Stars, EAFC24/25, and FC Mobile competitors can do that next week. The best have secured the top 16 or top 8 in the A1AL, depending on the game and the competition is as fierce as ever. Read on to learn what happened in the fourth and last qualifiers and who made the cut.

Frutas move to A1AL groups as first place

It sounds like the 14th season of A1AL had some intense matchups! In the fourth A1AL qualifier in the Brawl Stars competition, FBI really made waves by defeating top teams like Team Cherry, La Masia, and OMERTA, proving they had what it takes to compete at a high level. Their journey to the playoffs was certainly impressive.

On the other hand, Salada showed remarkable consistency, bouncing back strong after their previous loss to the 76ers. Winning every match 2:0 leading up to the final showcases their dominance, and defeating the 76ers 3:0 must have felt like a statement victory.

The final between FBI and Salada was a thrilling matchup. Although FBI had a fantastic run, Salada’s experience and skill ultimately led them to victory with a solid 3:1 finish. It’s always exciting to see how these tournaments unfold, especially with such fierce competition!

After all four qualifiers, Salada came on top and ended this stage with 77 points, followed by the 76ers with 55, Gospodin Adry with 30, and the FBI with 20 respectively. Other teams that also made it through are Delulu, OMERTA, Team Cherry, and La Masia.

Nikolas with 300 points advances to the group stage in FC Mobile

The fourth qualification round of FC Mobile was filled with unparalleled excitement, featuring unexpected twists and thrilling moments. During the stream, SPK_somzi emerged victorious, where casters famously stated that it was “better to lose against him than to lead.” Remarkably, he staged comebacks in every match he lost during the top 8 stages, securing him the second spot in the final standings, just behind Nikolas7, who missed the chance to become the first player to win two qualifying tournaments.

Finishing in third place was Nedox, who eliminated two-time champion SHAQ in the quarter-finals. Rounding out the top four was RAB_MahirSarajlić, who struggled to recover from the defeat dealt by Somzi in the semi-finals. These qualifiers were really tough for all players as there were a whopping 260 players signed up. In the end, the ones who showed consistency and great performance throughout this whole qualification stage made it to groups.

Nikolas secured groups with 300 points in the first place, followed by Somzi with 280, Lazar from Buducnost with 270, and our two-time A1AL champion SHAQ with 220. Their place in the best 16 of FC Mobile also found Iky, Haverz, Skrebo, and HugoBoss. For the top 16 follow our social media accounts where there will be more updates!

These are the best eight EAFC players in the A1AL

Though the qualifier featured a smaller player pool, the competition was fierce. As this was the final qualifier, the pressure was immense for those still vying for a spot. CLA_Banderas proved that his impressive performance in last season’s finale was no fluke. Ante “CLA_Banderas” Tolj once again secured his spot among the top competitors. He won the fourth qualifier and 100 points securing his place in groups.

Players like Djordje “Jasik” Cumbo seized this last opportunity, but it came as a shock when regional champion Tarik “Novo” Novo and top contender Filip “Cyber_Fico” Babić, who has been in great form in international tournaments, failed to make it into the top 16.

Now that all the qualifiers are finished the top spot went into the hands of Nemanja Misko who has 130 points overall. He is followed by CLA_TheProdigy with 120 points, and Game On Marac, CLA_Banderas, and Hara, all with 110 points. Their spot in the top eight also secured 10th A1AL champion Gruby, our veteran brstimir, and AmcoS.

We will look forward to the final list of the best 16 competitors and the upcoming group stage draw. Additionally, we’re gearing up for EAFC25, which is set to bring numerous changes.

Z10 and 0 to 100 snatch first wins in CS2 group stage

As CS2 competition only had three qualifiers their group stage began one week earlier. We saw two duels this Sunday. One was played between team 0 to 100 and MAX Team (previously GornjiDonji), while the other was Zero Tenacity vs GOT.

The day kicked off with an exciting BO3 match between the 0 to 100 team and MAX team. After each team secured their picks on Mirage and Anubis, the final showdown took place on Dust2. Despite missing their captain Neno, 0 to 100 dominated the match, finishing with a 13:5 victory and sending MAX team to the lower bracket. Team 0 to 100 was very dominant in their victories, besides the mentioned 13:5 victory they won the first map with 13:6. On the other hand, MAX’s victory was a lot closer with a 13:9 score.

The second BO3 of the day featured a surprisingly strong challenge from the GOT team, but Z10 ultimately showcased their skill by securing a 2-0 victory. With final scores of 13:7 and 13:10, it was clear that Zero 10 isn’t unbeatable, leaving room for other teams to find opportunities against them. Unfortunately for the determined GOT team, they will need to continue their campaign through the lower bracket.

Next week we will continue with the CS2 group stage matches, so stay tuned and don’t forget to follow our streams on YouTube and Twitch!
