/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Every week we have the chance to see the best of the four titles that this A1 Adria League season features. CS:GO’s SWISS stage is looking more competitive than ever, while Clash Royale’s groups are halfway done. FIFA is slowly transitioning to the new FIFA21 title, while the Brawl Stars teams are consistently putting up great fights in the qualifying process.

In order to provide a bit of refreshment for our competitive teams, and with the COVID-19 situation in our mind, we have decided to postpone the A1 Adria League tournament for one week. In the meantime, our team will invest additional efforts into the situation concerning the Grand Finals stage that we are actively trying to tackle.

The only exception is the Brawl Stars tournament, which will see its previously delayed qualifier be played out, the other three titles will sit out this week. On Thursday, the delayed Brawl Stars qualifier will be played out. Teams are gathering in huge numbers and we will once again see some great action from the regional Brawlers. We will see teams try to rise up to the Good Game squads once again, while the fight for the last of the eight spots becomes more fierce than ever.

Shock Bomb breezed through the SWISS CS: GO stage, brstimir and amke2001 secured spots in the FIFA playoffs, while BCBG is currently dominating in Clash Royale. We couldn’t be more excited to see what will happen next week, and until then, enjoy the upcoming Brawl Stars action and all the highlights that this season of the A1 Adria League can offer.

After being delayed during the previous week, Brawl Stars was here once again and the seventh qualifier was played out. FIFA finished the second trio of qualifiers, and the second playoffs tournament will start soon.

Brawl Stars

Even after skipping a week, things didn’t change much in Brawl Stars. The Good Game squads once again reached the semifinals and the Red team won the qualifier. Going back to the quarterfinals, Ekipa 69 fell short to Good Game Red, while Zabranjeni lost to the other Good Game team, Gold. Code Lyoko and LovciNaZMajeve, two interesting names that have been playing good during the recent qualifiers faced each other in the quarters. In the end, Code Lyoko bested their opponents and secured one of the four semifinal spots.

Alpha Predators met FA Deadly in the last match of the quarterfinals. The latter managed to slip past the Predators and proceed to the semis. Just like in any other qualifiers, the Good Game teams were destined to meet each other. This time, it happened in the semifinals and the second-placed team, Red, managed to beat the current standings leaders, Good Game Gold.

FIFA

This weekend, we will not be hosting a FIFA qualifier. Instead, the best eight players from the previous qualifiers will once again be a part of the playoffs that will decide which player will advance to the LAN finals. arminho0307 secured the first semifinal spot after he managed to beat mhad10h, while Persunipzs outplayed RUR rob1. HarunNedim1921 and DziDziAnlaki met each other in the quarters, with the Bosnian coming out on top.

The last QF match saw Stojanov1999 and amke2001 clash. Heading into the match, amke was considered the favorite, but Stojanov managed to upset him and proceed to face Harun in the semis. Persunipzs was in great form, but even that wasn’t enough and he couldn’t get past arminho. Stojanov surprisingly advanced to the grand finals, while his opponent, HarunNedim headed into the third-place decider. arminho had a rough start in this trio of qualifiers but won the third edition after all. This week we will see who is the next player to join brstimir in the main FIFA playoffs.

 

brstimir, FIFA: “When I was losing 0-3 I wanted to forfeit the match”

Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac is the first FIFA player to secure a spot in the LAN finals. He showed a great form throughout the entire season and earned his place fair and square. After an exhausting final against amke2001 in our first playoffs tournament, the Serbian player kindly accepted our invitation to do an interview.

After winning the first two qualifiers, your luck ran out in the third one. Did you slow down a bit, knowing you’ve already secured a spot in the playoffs?

I always give my maximum in every match at any competition. I won the first two qualifiers and got a spot in the playoffs, but luck wasn’t on my side and I failed to reach the final for the third time in a row by ending up in third place.

An intense final match between you and amke2001 made everyone bite their nails. What went through your head when you were losing 0-3 before you made a comeback?

When I was losing 0-3 I paused the game and the only thing that came to my mind was to forfeit the match and leave. However, I decided to stay and try something new with my tactics, which helped me in the end, and I managed to turn the odds in my favor.

Your form is picking up in this season of A1 Adria League as opposed to the last season, which can be seen by your current standing. How much off-season preparations contributed to where you are now?

I think that me being in Greece had a big impact on the way I played in season five. Mostly because my Internet connection wasn’t the best.

You’re the first player who secured a spot at the upcoming LAN event. What will you do now before it starts?

First, I want to take a break from this FIFA season and then turn my focus on university until the next FIFA season starts.

Did any of your rival players surprise you, whether negatively or positively?

I don’t want to mention anyone in particular, everybody played great in season 5 and did the same in this season. They established themselves as serious competitors.

Who do you predict will join you in the LAN finals?

I think that esad1memic or amke2001 will win the next playoffs because, in my opinion, those two have more quality than anyone else.

Considering that everybody is affected by the coronavirus pandemic, are you happy with the organization of a competition?

Given the limited options, the organization is really well managed and I hope that pandemic won’t stop us to come to the LAN event in Zagreb.

The fourth A1 Adria League week saw the completion of the CS:GO team list for the upcoming season and the first FIFA player secured his spot in the playoffs.

Brawl Stars

Over 40 teams took part in the fourth A1 Adria League Brawl Stars qualifier. It seems that the only way to eliminate one of the Good Game teams before the Grand Final is for the bracket to match them together before. On-Fire and FA Deadly lost their respective games against Good Game Red and Gold. Troleri is a newer name that managed to enter the quarterfinals of the qualifiers. There, they lost to Blue Whales but they still managed to put themselves onto the regional Brawl Stars map. Code Lyoko’s win against Come Back rounded up the quarterfinals and we advanced to the semis.

Once again, the derby between the Gold and Red Good Game squads went in favor of ToDe05 and Good Game Red. Blue Whales managed to beat Code Lyoko and they proceeded to the Grand Finals of the qualifier. The Croatian-Bosnian trio couldn’t hold their ground versus Good Game Red, and they let the Serbian side grab another 100 points in the road to the A1 Adria League playoffs.

Clash Royale

The second group stage round started with a duel between Recast Gaming and Totem Esports. Even though Totem Esports won the 2v2 set, Recast Gaming managed to come back and win the following two sets. Crushers went into the match versus KFC in a dominant manner. Winning the 2v2 set brought them a step closer to a victory, but Team KFC weren’t ready to give up yet. The qualified team came back during the KotH games and closed out the game in the 1v1 set.

As the last match for the day, Tribe Academy faced Flayn Esports. Neither team won two consecutive matches before the final set. Both Flayn and Tribe were going back and forth during the 2v2 and KotH sets, but in the end, Tocilovac and Flayn Esports came out as the better team and closed out the second Clash Royale round.

The playoffs cup started with the SWISS stage. amke2001 passed the SWISS stage with a perfect record, while mickey_rrrox couldn’t get a single win before being eliminated.

brstimir kept his great form and secured the first A1 Adria League Finals spot. The Serbian player has had a great form during the previous weeks and he definitely deserved one of the four spots in the LAN finals.

All the matches in the SWISS stage of the A1 Adria League will be played as BO3 matches, with the winners advancing to a single-elimination BO3 playoff event.

Clash Royale’s Group Stage started in an interesting fashion. Recast Gaming and Crusher Esports played a wonderful match and at the very end, Neki Lik and Recast Gaming were able to win the game. The organization that won the previous season of A1 Adria League is starting with a loss, but it is still very early into the League, especially with the double round-robin format that is featured in Season 6.

Tribe Academy faced the challenger squad, Team KFC, in the first match. The qualified side didn’t put up much of a fight and Tribe’s players closed out the game after 2v2 and KotH. In the last match of the day, the Flayn Esports’ player Enis singlehandedly beat Totem Esports in the KotH mode and secured the first victory for his team.
