/1 Comment/in , /by

Only one FIFA22 qualifier in A1 Adria League is left, and we already have a clear leader on the table. Miloš “brstimir” Majedevac came on top of another qualifier, and now he has an overall of 200 points.

Close fight for the top 4

Another round of interesting and intense matches in the FIFA22 competition was played on Friday. The same familiar names we have seen fighting for their chance to enter the 10th season of the A1 Adria League, but only eight will be able to. So far, brstimir is going to make it for sure, as well as Sardinho213.

Brstimir was the most successful in the last two qualifiers. He now has 200 points and sits at the top. Right behind him in second place is Sardinho with 160 points. Our current champion Tarik “Novo” Novo is third with 120 points, while the next two players have an overall of 100 points. Esad1memic and Tuna13 with 100 points also have a high chance of entering the league.

Sardinho213 and Tuna13 dominated one side of the bracket. They faced each other in the semifinals, but Sardinho came out victorious and moved on to the finals. On the other side of the bracket, it was esad1memic and brstimir who made it to the semifinals, and as we know brstimir won that fight.

The fight for third place went into the hands of Marko “Tuna13” Antunović, while the whole thing was won by brstimir. Novo wasn’t very successful in this qualifier, seeing as he only won 10 points. The last chance to earn points will be in the fourth FIFA22 qualifier which is being played next Friday. Sign up now!

FIFA22 3rd qualifier standings

KATAI and Velez Mostar secured group stage in A1AL

/0 Comments/in , /by

The CS:GO competition officially started yesterday. A little less than 40 teams registered for this qualifier, and we have seen some interesting matches. The teams that were successful and already secured their spot in the group stage in the tenth A1 Adria League season are KATAI and Velez Mostar.

Two more chances remain

Not much has changed this season in the CS:GO competition. Unlike Brawl Stars and FIFA, CS:GO has the overall three qualifier cups. Two teams from each qualifier advance to the next stage of the competition. This week the two teams that came out victorious are KATAI and Velez Mostar. They showed the best performance and can now be at peace until the start of the league.

We have seen some familiar names yesterday during the qualifier such as Cyber Wolves, Jake Bube, KTRL, and many others. Cyber Wolves with their newly signed CS:GO roster managed to reach the 4th round or quarterfinals, before being eliminated by none other than KATAI. Jake Bube is a well-known team that’s being led by Mladen Jurić from Relog Media. This squad is very active lately, and we have had the opportunity to follow them in many tournaments.

KTRL is a Romanian organization that has great potential to make it to the top. Seeing as they acquired many talented players from the region such as Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac. Sarenii is a familiar name in the region, he played for 4glory with whom he won many tournaments including Esport Adria Prvenstvo and Kuvo OneTap in 2021. An ex Zero Tenacity player Dejan “Katalić” Koprivica is also a member of KTRL, as well as Miloš “dEE” Marčeta. With this roster, we can expect a lot from KTRL.

Since the first qualifier is over, there are only two more chances to enter the league. Who will join KATAI and Velez Mostar we will see in our remaining two qualifiers. The second one is scheduled for next Sunday, September 18th, so don’t waste any time, and sign up HERE!

Brstimir secures 100 points in the second FIFA22 qualifier

/1 Comment/in , /by

As the two FIFA22 qualifiers in A1 Adria League are already finished, we only have two more left before entering the league. So far, the biggest favorites of the competition Brstimir and Novo are occupying the top of the table.

Brstimir misses first, wins the second qualifier

We already saw last week that the FIFA competition this season is going to be more challenging than ever. A lot of players are looking for the chance to compete in the tenth A1AL season. But only eight players will enter the league.

The four-time champion Tarik “Novo” Novo already achieved a win in the first qualifier securing 100 points. He didn’t have the same success in the second one and only managed to get 10 points. On the other hand, another familiar face came out victorious. Miloš “Brstimir” Majdevac was the winner of the second qualifier in the FIFA22 competition. And even though he missed the first one, he is at the top of the table, sitting comfortably right under Novo.

In the first match of the finals, we have seen as many as seven goals. Leon “Šardi” Šardi was his opponent in the finals, but he came short, as Brstimir won that Bo3 final. The first match ended with a 4:3 score, and the second one with a 2:1 in favor of Brstimir who kept his momentum.

The rest of the bracket was interesting to watch as well and was not short of surprises. Marko “Tuna” Antunović reached the semi-finals for the first time in his A1 Adria league career. He even managed to win 50 points in the duel for 3rd place versus Esad “esad1memic” Memić.

The third qualifier is scheduled for next week, and you can already sign up for it HERE.

FIFA22 2nd qualifier bracket

Rolex is the winner of the first Brawl Stars qualifier!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The first Brawl Stars qualifier finished last night. Since we have had a delay with this competition, instead of last week, the first qualifier was played last night.

Rolex earned 100 points

In the first Brawl Stars qualifier of the tenth A1 Adria League season, we have seen many familiar faces, as well as new talents. The competition was fierce and it went on long into the night. The team that came out victorious by the end of the night was Rolex, who secured 100 points. OMERT4 came in second and earned themselves 70 points, which is a great start. The third and fourth place brought the teams 50 points each, and those points were achieved by Extreme Masters and team La Aquilla. Teams that took 5th to 8th place earned themselves 20 points.

It is interesting that last season’s champions Salada de Frutas registered for the qualifier, but didn’t play. Also, Jazavci, who we got to know better in the previous season, didn’t do so well, earning only 20 points in this qualifier. They lost in the quarterfinals or the second round of the competition.

Rolex and OMERT4 really showed great performance last night. Both these teams dominated their bracket, and OMERT4 actually didn’t lose a single game until the finals. Rolex showed superiority in that final and took the maximum amount of points with a 2:0 win.

We will meet with the Brawl Stars teams next week with the start of the second qualifier. Stay tuned and don’t forget to sign up!

Brawl Stars standings

Sign up for the second FIFA22 qualifier!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 10th season of the A1 Adria League officially started last week. As the Brawl Stars qualifier was delayed, the new season opened with the FIFA22 qualifiers.

Get ready!

The first FIFA qualifier is already finished. The winner of the first one was last year’s champion Tarik “Amke” Novo who secured 100 points.

There is no time to waste. If you want to be the one to take Amke down from his throne as the FIFA champion, sign up for the second qualifier. It’s still not too late to secure a group stage and have a chance to compete with the best regional FIFA22 players. And this season, like the last, we have four qualifiers before the group stage start. If you missed out on the first qualifier or you didn’t manage to achieve any points, don’t worry. There are three more chances to earn points, and if you followed last season of A1AL you know that you don’t have to win the qualifier to get to the group stage. Last season Amke didn’t manage to win a single qualifier, and yet he climbed all the way to the top of the league.

We have already seen many familiar faces in the first qualifier, such as esad1memic, Amke, Encika, Mrky, and many others. If you want to test your skill against them and have a chance at the prize pool sign up HERE! The second FIFA22 qualifier will take place on September 9th, which is a Friday.

Novo: A1 Adria League is a place where I started my FIFA career

Once again the FIFA champion in A1 Adria League is Tarik “Novo” Novo. He defeated Marko “Mrky2402” Matančić in the finals after five intense matches and took his fourth consecutive title. We talked with Tarik about his title, his expectations, and his impressions, as well as his plans for the future.

First, congratulations on yet another A1 Adria League title. This is your fourth title in a row. What does it feel like to be at the top of the FIFA regional scene for two years now?

Thanks a lot. The feeling is the same as it was in the past seasons. It’s great and I am very proud of this fourth great success.

For the last couple of years, the same players have made the playoffs in A1AL. In which way do you improve and adapt your game in order to win, seeing that you, Brstimir, and Esad know each other well?

I have played many times with Brstimir, and with Esad even more. Because of that, I am familiar with their characteristic moves, but they are familiar with mine as well. It is really hard to play against them and every time I do my best to adapt my gameplay before meeting them.

Mrky made it to the finals in his first A1AL season, and you played all five matches. What is your opinion on your opponent’s gameplay and was it hard to play against him?

All I have to say about Mrky is that he is a great player, and I once again want to congratulate him. He didn’t make it to the top 4 for no reason. Playing against Mrky was very challenging, I think this FIFA suits him well.

You started the group stage with a 0:2 score and secured the playoff spot in the last round of the group stage. Did you make some changes in the playoff, and how do you explain your performance in the group stage, and in the playoffs? 

In the group stage, I didn’t have the team I wanted to play with, and I think that’s the main reason for the bad performance. Namely, I have made the team for the playoffs, and it paid off.

Did you expect to win this title, and will you compete in the 10th season in A1 Adria League as well?

I can’t say that I expected the title, but I was definitely looking forward to it and I gave my best to lift the trophy. A1 Adria League is a place where I started my FIFA career and it is very important to me. Because of that, I will sign up again because it’s a competition where I feel the most comfortable in.

What are your plans right now?

After plenty of competitions I played in the past few months, my plans for the summer are to rest and slowly start preparing for autumn and new tournaments, and hopefully new accomplishments.

DzonDzon: We are going to Salzburg to lift the trophy!

Salada de Frutas successfully defended the Brawl Stars title in the ninth A1 Adria League season. Without any trouble, they managed to reach the finals, defeat DOGS, and take their second consecutive title. We talked with the captain of the team DzonDzon about the season, Clash of Leagues, their plans, and more.

Congratulations on winning the title. How does it feel to be at the top of the regional Brawl Stars scene?

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for congratulating us. The feeling is great, it isn’t a small thing to be the best team in the region.

You finished the group stage, playoff, and the complete tournament without much trouble. In the playoffs, you didn’t lose a single match. What affected such good performance of the team? 

My personal opinion is that what influenced this performance is mostly knowledge about the draft. At the moment with six bans, if you do a good draft, that’s probably set in your favor.

What is your opinion about this year’s competition? Did someone at any point in the playoff come close to surprising you and would you single out some team as your hardest opponent? 

As I mentioned before, the competition this year was stronger than ever. Each team in the playoff was very good, but as I have said the lack of draft knowledge cost them the win against us. As the hardest opponent, I would single out DOGS. The guys from DOGS really made a noticeable improvement since last year.

You had successfully defended the title this season. Which one was harder to win, the eighth or this, the ninth season of the A1 Adria League, and why?

The eighth season was harder to win that’s for sure. Last season in the finals we were losing with a 1:2 score, our opponents were at match point, but we managed to reverse sweep and win the whole thing. So in my opinion that was the hardest and the most interesting final so far.

You don’t have much time to rest and gather impressions, seeing that the next month Clash of Leagues in Salzburg is starting. Have you already prepared for it?

We are always ready for new tournaments, especially if they involve a LAN event.

Last year you lost in the semifinals and you were really close to winning the tournament. What are your expectations and plans for the upcoming Clash of Leagues?

Yes, last year we weren’t lucky, because the first match that we played in Salzburg was against SK Gaming, and it is a known fact that SK was the best team in the EU, maybe even in the world. This year we are going there to lift the trophy.

Do you intend to be a part of the tenth A1AL season as well and once again try to defend the title? 

Of course, we are planning to sign up for the tenth season, and our plans are to win it again. Firstly though we would like to win Clash of Leagues, and then we are going to focus on the new A1AL season.

BLUEJAYS take the ninth CS:GO title in A1AL!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The biggest competition in the A1 Adria League has finally gotten its champion for this season. Macedonian squad BLUEJAYS justified the role of favorite and took home the title and a 2500€ prize.

aidKiT led his team to success

The playoff stage of CS:GO this season was played for two days during ROGW, semifinals were scheduled for Saturday, while the decider for third place and the grand final we watched on Sunday.

In the first semifinals, our new champion BLUEJAYS took down Zero Tenacity without much trouble. BJ was a big favorite in this matchup, but Z10 gave their best. aidKiT was a leading protagonist on Inferno and Mirage, where BJ got their wins. Z10 managed to take only 14 rounds in two games (Inferno – 16:10, Mirage – 16:4).

The second semifinal matchup was between Blink and 0to100. It was an intense fight between these two teams, and Blink decided not to choose their favorite map Ancient because of an update and the changes on this map, so they had to adapt quickly. BledarD was the best player on the server with as many as 53 kills (Dust2 – 16:8, Inferno – 16:10).

On Sunday, the CS:GO competition opened with a bo1 decider for the third place and a 1000€ prize. depreshn and xicoz were the ones who took 0to100 to victory and secured them third place in this year’s competition. The game on Nuke was really close, but Zero Tenacity just wasn’t lucky.

The final itself was a fast one for BLUEJAYS. Even though Blink was one of the strongest teams this season, there was nothing they could do to this BJ roster. Both maps, Dust2 and Inferno, ended with the same score, 16:7 in favor of the Macedonian squad. The interesting thing is that BJ played this stage of the competition with a substitute. CacaNito couldn’t perform so his place took Necrogenes1s who in the past had already won the title twice in A1 Adria League.

  1. BLUEJAYS – (aidKiT, kyxsan, dan1, CacaNito, stYleEeZ, sub: Necrogenes1s) – 2500€
  2. Team Blink – (gulito, Caleyy, 2high, BledarD, vAloN) – 1500€
  3. 0to100 – (NENO, br0, Sterzig, DEPRESHN, HEv1x,, sub: xicoz) – 1000€
  4. Zero Tenacity – (simke, brutmonster, Cjoffo, nEMANHA, Katalic)

 

Novo is FIFA champion for the fourth time in a row!

FIFA22 championship this year in A1 Adria League was as intense as ever. In the group stage, it seemed as though the king of FIFA Tarik Novo won’t be able to secure the playoff. But he did it in the last round, and in the playoffs dominated everyone in his path, winning his fourth consecutive title.

Novo – The undisputed A1AL champion

Whoever comes to challenge Novo in A1 Adria League goes home empty-handed. History repeated itself this season, as we have seen Tarik Novo win the title once again. Even though the Bosnian struggled throughout the group stage, he showed impeccable performance in the playoffs.

In the semifinals, Tarik was against the rookie player Mrky, while Esad had to defeat brstimir. The winners of the semifinals were Novo and brstimir who went on to fight in the upper bracket final, while Esad and Mrky fell down to the lower bracket. Novo had no problem defeating the Serbian player, and he did it with a 2:0 score. This led Novo to the grand finals where he waited for his opponent.

In the lower bracket the first match was played between Esad and Mrky, and Mrky was the one to go into the next stage of the competition, or the lower bracket final. Esad “esad1memic” Memić with this defeat was eliminated and finished the competition as fourth. In the lower bracket final the rookie of the season Marko “Mrky” Matančić defeated brstimir and made a big upset, seeing that brstimir was a huge favorite in this matchup. Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac with the loss in the lower bracket final took third place.

The biggest surprise of the season Mrky had now reached the grand final and was about to go head to head with the three-time champion Novo. The matches were Bo5 and it was as intense as ever. Both players gave their best and never wavered. The final went to game 5, and in the end, the Bosnian player was just too good to be defeated. He justified the role of favorite, defended the title once again, and took his fourth in a row in the A1 Adria League.

  1. Tarik “Novo” Novo – 950€
  2. Marko “mrky2402” Matančić – 500€
  3. Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac – 300€

Will Salada de Frutas defend the title?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The final week of the ninth A1 Adria League season is just days away. Many Brawl Stars teams battled for the top 4 spots in the playoff stage but the teams that actually did it are Salada de Frutas, Big F, Jazavci, and DOGS.

Salada coming into the playoff as a favorite

The first team who actually went through the group stage and secured the playoffs is as expected Salada de Frutas. These guys are the defending champions, and it’s not a surprise we are seeing them here once again. Salada didn’t lose a single match in the group stage, and with the perfect 3:0 score advanced further. Their games mostly ended with Salada dominating and a lot is now expected from them.

DzonDzon: “This season the playoff is quite strong. The teams have improved a lot since last year. And that means that the playoff phase will be very interesting to watch and play. But our expectations remain the same, our goal is to win the 9th season of the A1 Adria League.”

Two teams that in the same round went through to the playoffs of the ninth season of the A1 Adria League are Big F and Jazavci. Big F had the best performance, right after Salada, and it was expected from them to reach the top 4. Jazavci also showed determination and will to be shortlisted, and as we have seen since the beginning of the tournament, they didn’t weaver. The winner of the first Brawl Stars qualifier secured the third spot in the playoff stage.

Ćiro: “As the captain of the team Jazavci, the expectations of me and my teammates are high and we hope for a better placement. For the competition, I would say that this year it is better than in any of the previous seasons.”

The last and the only team with the 3:2 score to reach the playoff stage is DOGS. They just recently acquired this spot by defeating the team You Lose. Both of these teams had the same chance of making it to the top 4 but in the end, it was DOGS. It remains to be seen if this team has what it takes to make an upset in the final week of the ninth A1AL season.
