The main game in the 11th season of the A1 Adria League and the tournament with a giant prize pool has started. On Sunday, April 9th more than 40 teams participated and competed for their spot in the group stage of the CS:GO competition. In the first qualifier, the winners were Zero Tenacity, last season’s champions, and Infernus NXT. They secured their spot in the next stage and are now awaiting their opponents.

Zero Tenacity on their way to defend the title

In the middle of November last year we crowned the CS:GO champions for the jubilee 10th season of the A1 Adria League, Zero Tenacity. And yet, they are already slowly making their way into the competition, for a chance at another title. Out of 42 teams, Zero Tenacity, alongside Infernus, was the best team in the qualifier. They swiped their opponents through the bracket and made their way to the decider best-of-three series where they took down Klan Rur. Nemanha and his team achieved wins on Anubis and Overpass. On Anubis their victory was as dominating as it can be, winning this map with only 2 lost rounds (16:2). On Overpass they were a force to be reckoned with as well, but the enemy got slightly more rounds in their pocket. That second map ended with a 16:6 score.

On the other side of the bracket, the best team was Infernus NXT. The team led by NEBO in the decider bo3 match defeated DopaminersGG. The first map was Inferno and it was a really close one, as we saw the match go into overtime, but in the end, Infernus was successful on Inferno with a 28:26 score. The next game was a lot easier and there Infernus won with a 16:5 on Anubis.

There are eight spots overall in the group stage, and two are already filled. More chances are offered in the three remained qualifiers. The second qualifier for CS:GO is scheduled for next week, April 16th. You can sign up for it HERE!

Zero Tenacity claims the CS:GO trophy!

Zero Tenacity managed to outplay the KTRL to become the champion of the tenth season of the A1 Adria League! The grand finals were played in Zagreb at Reboot Games Weekend in front of a live audience after a two-year pause due to the pandemic. Fans and viewers online got finals worthy of a tenth jubilee.

Strong performance on LAN secures the trophy for Zero Tenacity

The amazing best-of-five series started off on Nuke. The KTRL had a strong start on the T side and managed to close the half with an 8-7 loss, which is amazing for an attacking side on Nuke. They continued to play well on the CT side almost running away with the first map but Z10 had something to say about that. Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and co. got to the 14 rounds and then it was all Z10 until the end.

Z10 almost pulled another amazing comeback on Mirage after KTRL’s 11-4 lead on the half. This time the KTRL got to 15-5 result during their CT side but stopped again. It looked like they were going to lose another huge lead but this time they successfully closed the map with 16-13.

Inferno was another close encounter in which Miloš “dEE” Marčeta showed phenomenal individual performance but unfortunately for him and his team, it wasn’t enough. It was the first time in the series that Z10 had the lead after the first half. The 9-6 lead on the CT side was enough for them to close it out 16-12. It seemed like that was the breaking point in the series.

Dust 2 was the last map played and Z10 won by a landslide. It was like KTRL just disappeared from the server. The 11-4 on the T side was more than enough for Z10 to win the map and the grand finals in the next six rounds of the second half. Adin “brutomonster” Husić was a real monster on Dust2 finishing the map with a 2.08 HLTV rating, which helped him reach the best overall individual rating in the series as well.

Zero Tenacity A1AL S10 KTRL

Both teams know each other really well. Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and Filip “aVN” Belojica have won the A1 Adria League in seasons 4, 5, and 6, playing together. This time one had to be on the losing side and it ended up being dEE. For sure, he was more than happy that aVN won the finals if he couldn’t. With the CS:GO finals of the A1 Adria League Season 10 we are officially concluding this season. Well, not just yet. The competition is over for this year but we’ll take a good look back before we start preparing for the next one.

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.
