ONYX and 4glory are a win away from the playoffs!

The final playday of the second CS:GO round ended with three matches and three new winners – ONYX, Midnight, and 4glory.

Due to ONYX rescheduling their match from the first Round 2 playday, this Sunday featured three CS:GO matches. PORTUGAL and ONYX started the CS:GO marathon on Train where the current champions were able to secure an easy 16:08 win. PORTUGAL’s map pick, Dust 2, was a different story, but with the same ending. Both teams showed some great Counter-Strike, and the map went to overtime. ONYX didn’t let the pressure get to them and were able to close out the map and the match in the first overtime.

Right after the first match came to an end, Midnight and Onlinerss entered the server to fight for their first win. The first two maps were the same as in the previous match, with Onlinerss winning Train. Jasin “connex” Memedi carried his team Midnight through Dust 2 with an amazing performance with the AWP. The decider was Mirage which was ended after 29 rounds. Midnight were the team that came out as the winners in the very end and sent Onlinerss to the bottom of the scoreboard.

4glory and Good Game played a marathon on their own. 4glory won Good Game’s map pick, Mirage, with a 16:07 end result, but the match got heated in the next maps. The Macedonian squad fought very hard and finally won Train with a 16:13 score, sending the match to the decider, Nuke. Nuke went to all 30 rounds and was intense until the very last minute. The teams were constantly changing the lead, but in the end, Luka “c0llins” Živanović and 4glory were the team that won the 16th regulation round.

Cobalt Esports outplay Fullshock in the only Sunday duel!

A short CS:GO playday on Sunday was concluded with Cobalt Esports‘ victory over their Croatian opponents, Fullshock. The match between PORTUGAL and ONYX that should have been played yesterday will be played next Sunday, along with the last two matches of the second SWISS round.

Cobalt Esports and Fullshock played only two maps in which the former was the dominant team that managed to secure their first SWISS win. The Best of 3 match started out on Inferno, Fullshock’s map pick. Even though Krunoslav “Salted” Katalinić & co. picked the map, Cobalt made them regret it and won Inferno 16-06. The game concluded on the second map, Dust 2. Contrary to Inferno, Fullshock showed some resistance and won a total of 12 rounds on the second map, but Cobalt’s stellar performance won them the second map and the whole match. This victory puts Cobalt in the 1-1 pool, while Fullshock are just a step away from elimination at 0-2.

4glory and Good Game end the first CS:GO round with convincing wins!

Two CS:GO matches on Sunday announced the end of the first SWISS round for all three titles. This time, 4glory and Good Game triumphed over their opponents and secured their first wins.

Following recent changes in their roster, 4glory fielded two substitutes in their match versus Midnight. Nemanja “sarenii” Šarenac and Andrija “andr1x” Ljubić helped the team achieve a convincing victory on only two maps. 4glory won their map pick, Train, 16-09, and then proceeded to squeeze another win on Mirage (16-13).

Match two for the day saw the Macedonian squad Good Game face the reigning Bosnian champions Onlinerss. Once again, we watched a 2-0 game that ended in favor of Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski’s squad who are one of the favorites for this season of the League. The same two maps were played, with Train ending 16-9 and the teams summing up Mirage 16-5.

Next Sunday, two more matches will be played as a part of the CS:GO SWISS stage:

FIFA21, Brawl Stars and CS:GO qualifiers finish in style!

With our second A1 Adria League qualifying weekend coming to a close, the Brawl Stars teams and FIFA players that secured a spot from the qualifiers are known. The CS:GO team list is completed and the invited teams will be revealed soon!

Brawl Stars

Some familiar names were seen playing under the Noble Elite Red and BLK tags during the third qualifier. In the quarterfinals, Noble Elite Red bested Crna ruka, while BLK was better than Immortal Balkans. O9 Gang and QSKE advanced to the semis over Wolfs and Red Devils, respectively. The qualifier ended with a Noble Elite Red win. Lavvek’s Red squad was able to outplay DzonDzon and the rest of BLK and earn the biggest amount of points for this qualifier.

Noble Elite Red weren’t any worse in the fourth qualifier either. In this final match, their opponents were Tora Gold who had just eliminated Noble Elite BLK before advancing to the finals. The other teams that ended up in the top 8 were Mayoi, O9 Gang, QSKE, Wolves, and SM Gaming Elite.

FIFA21

Just like Brawl Stars, FIFA’s four-cup qualifying process ended this weekend. During the previous weekend, klaic upset the usual favorites and managed to snatch the grand 100 points. This time, the player that surprised everyone was the Bosnian player Sulja – he beat brstimir in the grand finals and put himself in the top 8 overall rankings.

Sunday was a day for one of NK Osijek‘s new players, esad1memic. The Bosnian player plowed through the competition on his way to the finals, beating his new Osijek teammate, Jasikm in the quarterfinal. FIFAFICO and Ajdin977 were the last two players separating esad1memic from his grand prize and he managed to beat them.

Over 60 teams hopped on the servers to fight for the remaining three CS:GO spots. proWince, fullshock, QSKE Gaming, JUJUTSU KAISEN, PORTUGAL, MADNESS, MIX, and VENDETTAS 5 were the teams that entered the closed qualifiers.

The Macedonian-majority PORTUGAL started the closed qualifier with a win over QSKE. MIX were able to outplay VENDETTAS 5, while fullshock defeated proWince.

A1 Adria League S7 - CS:GO Q#2

 

The year is over and so are we… for now!

Quite the unexpected year, but nothing could’ve stopped the players, teams, and us to do two seasons of A1 Adria League this year. We witnessed some amazing matches, few upsets, and were shown a display of the ultimate esport experience.

Clash Royale had quite a dramatic year. In season five Crusher Esports crushed the competition, but in the sixth season, they sunk all the way down. Disqualification, losing players and in the end, they were forced to change the team name. On the other hand, Joža Esports (ex Totem) first ended up third, and then in the finals of season six managed to beat Team LAZR, who before the final match didn’t have any losses.

Good Game had an awesome year in Brawl Stars. Even though ending up second in the fifth season wasn’t that bad – finishing behind Alpha Elite – they still had room to improve. In the following season, they showed how powerful they can truly be. Good Game Gold and Good Game Red were representing the GG brand and they did it in the best possible way, taking the top steps of the podium, with GG Gold being the first and GG Red coming in second.

It was lvlUP’s year in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. After winning the finals last year at Reboot InfoGamer, they carried over their form to 2020. Winning in both season five and season six, they established themselves as the biggest team in the region. They became the only team to win three consecutive seasons of the A1 Adria League. It will be interesting to see if their reign will come to an end next year.

FIFA competition was the strongest by far in both seasons. Fantastic display of tactics and strategies kept players and viewers on the edge of their seats. esad1memic was declared the winner of FIFA 20 in season five. In season six, players had to transition from FIFA 20 to FIFA 21, and the setting of the new game settled best with amke2001, who took home the full prize in last week’s finals.

In addition to all of that, we were saddened by the news that LAN finals for season six weren’t able to take place in Zagreb this year on Reboot InfoGamer. The outbreak of COVID-19 forced us to take a different path for the last part of the season. In exchange, Reboot Online Games Week was introduced – an event in which viewers could enjoy watching regional esport people talk about their careers, casual players had a chance to participate in small tournaments, charity matches have been held, and everyone was able to watch online finals of A1 Adria League as well as enjoy other cool stuff.

Even though the pandemic made us step back a little bit, all of us overcame this difficult period together. We will be back next year – stronger, better, and wiser. Until then, stay safe and keep on grinding!

Reboot Online Games Week to help those in need!

We will spend most of the upcoming week together on stream, so we decided to use the time to help those in need. During the week there will be multiple chances to donate money to a charity, and we will be also hosting a charity tournament.

A1 Adria League will donate €500 to Dječji Dom Vrbina and you will be able to donate to this charity and help those that really need it during the whole Reboot Online Games Week event. Dječji Dom Vrbina helps kids and families all over Croatia on a daily basis and we feel that we should support their work. Their services are helping families look after their kids and they are playing an important role in shaping the next generation.

The charity tournament mentioned above will be a 5v5 event between ten streamers that will play three different games with €500 on the line. A1AL will donate the €500 to a charity that the winners’ team chooses. The two streaming teams will meet in three games – CS:GO, Rocket League, and VALORANT.

CS:GO’s portion of the event will consist of a BO3 match with modified rules. The squads will play eight-round halves – the first team to reach round no.9 wins the map (the starting round money will be set at $2,500). After one team wins two maps, we will advance to the next game – Rocket League. This time, we are talking about a Best of 5, with the first two maps being standard 3v3 matches, the second duo of maps being Rumble, while the final map will be played in the Hoops mode.

In the final part of the event, the ten streamers will meet in a VALORANT match. There are a lot of famous names that will be present at the event. Team A consists of SupremeNexus, DON MACI, Inder45, Zefyx, and Baba sWeDisH, while PvtMole, GALLASANDALLA, Tetka, Agent, and missDasmi will fight under the second team.

You can donate by clicking the following LINK.

The charity event A1AL HUMANITARKA will take place at the end of the second Reboot Online Games Week day – Tuesday at 20 o’clock.

eFootball PES2021

Between the fifth and sixth seasons of the League, we hosted a PES2020 tournament together with PesExpert. We had the chance to see that our Pro Evolution Soccer scene is as big as ever and the e-football players that prefer PES are eager to play tournaments. PesExpert will once again help us with organizing a PES cup, with €300 on the line this time.

A total of 64 Croatian players will be able to sign up for the tournament. The cup will be played on the 25th of November and it will start at 17 o’clock. The knockout format and Home&Away rules will determine the winner of this PlayStation 4 PES2021 tournament.

The players will communicate with the admins and between each other on our Discord server. From the moment the Round of 16 begins, the remaining players may be asked to stream the matches that will be broadcasted on PlanetSport, GameBar along with other platforms. That’s why it is required for you to have the needed requirements for streaming matches from your consoles.

The best PES2021 players will split the prize pool in the following manner:

1. €150
2. €100
3. €50

A1 Adria League postponed for a week – here’s why!

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.

brstimir secures a spot in the playoffs; CS:GO’s team list is completed!

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.

FIFA

There weren’t FIFA qualifiers during the weekend. Instead, we hosted the first playoffs tournament for the best eight players from the previous trio of qualifiers. 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.

CS:GO

We completed the list of teams that will be competing in the sixth A1 Adria League season yesterday. The closed qualifier saw the eight best teams from the last weekend battle it out for a chance to be a part of the €11.000 worth League. eSportsKosova and Good Game secured two of the three spots after their semifinal matches against GamerS1337 and MiKS, respectively.

The third-place decider match played between MiKS and GamerS1337 saw the Kosovar team outplay Filip “DEPRESHNN” Jarkić and GamerS1337 and enter the League as the last qualified team. 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.

We are approaching the first FIFA playoffs cup!

With the third week of qualifiers coming to an end, the list of players for the first FIFA20 playoffs event has been rounded up. Clash Royale started its Group Stage while CS:GO and Brawl Stars are continuing the qualifications road.

Brawl Stars

O9 Gang and FA Deadly once again entered the Top 8 stage of the qualifiers. Code Lyoko and Good Game Red outplayed On-Fire and MysteryWarrioRS, while Electronic Rats managed to get past Taktika baklava. A convincing victory for O9 Gang in their match versus FA Deadly sent the former right into the semifinals. Code Lyoko were destroyed by Good Game Red and Electronic Rats slipped past YouLose to secure a match against ToDe05 and GG Red.

O9 Gang and Electronic Rats earned 60 points each by finishing 3rd-4th. Good Game are absolutely dominating the Brawl Stars qualifiers so far. Once again, we could see the two squads battle it out in the final match of the third qualifier. The Gold team managed to beat Good Game Red and secure yet another 100 points on the leaderboard. We are still at the beginning of the qualifiers and the Good Game squads are already cementing themselves in the first places.

This is the current Brawl Stars leaderboard:

Clash Royale

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.
