Another group stage round is behind us, and we are very close to the finale and the LAN event. A1AL competitors in the 14th season are giving their best to secure the top four and their spot in the LAN. However, the competition is fierce, and only the best will be able to advance to the playoffs. Check out who was victorious this weekend in CS2, Brawl Stars, EAFC25, and FC Mobile.

Frutas and 76ers are only one win away from the TOP 4

Two teams are in a very good spot after the first two rounds of the SWISS group stage in the A1AL Brawl Stars competition. Moreover, Frutas and the 76ers were victorious two times, and they now need only one more win to advance further into the competition. This was expected, considering Frutas is defending the title, and the 76ers team is our vice-champions from the 13th season.

This weekend the first match was Frutas vs Delulu, teams that celebrated in the first round against their opponents with a 3:0 victory. There was a lot to expect from this match. However, even though they were underdogs, Delulu played very good matches against the favorites Frutas and managed to win one set showing their quality and determination. In the end, they fell in the 4th set on Gem Grab. We can expect much more from Delulu, as they have proven to be a TOP 4 material. 

The second game of the day was FBI vs Maestros, a team that got into the group stage as a replacement. Unfortunately for the Maestros, I have to say the result was expected. The team that was there as a substitute did not manage to organize well for today’s playday and the FBI took advantage of that and beat them 3:0 without any problems, dominating each set.

La Masia and Team Cherry were the highlight of the second BS group stage round. It was a match to remember. Apart from being the closest in ranking (7th and 8th seed), these two teams are dead even in skill as well. Right from the first match at the Hot Zone, it was clear that we were in for a very tense match because none of the teams wanted to go to a 0-2 score. This would greatly hinder their chances of passing. Every game mode was tense and the forces of who was stronger were constantly changing. In the end, Brawl Ball decided the result. There Team Cherry equalized in the last seconds for Overtime and managed to defeat La Masia. 

The last match of the day was played between the 76ers and Gospodin Adry. Maybe a little disappointment today from the latter, considering their performance through the qualifiers, I really expected a lot more. Vice-champions 76ers (ex OOB1) showed why they are favorites with Frutas and by dominating each set they secured a safe and realistically easy victory against their opponents.

Lazar shines as A1AL MVP in dominant group D performance

Last week four players secured the next stage of the A1AL competition in FC Mobile. From group A SPK_Somzi and RAB_MahirSarajlic advanced, and from group B it was FE_Shaq and Alen who bested their opponents. This weekend matches from groups C and D were played. Four players joined the victors from groups A and B thus completing the TOP eight in FC Mobile.

In the second round again 24 matches were played in which we saw 84 goals. In Group C Nikolas7, former A1 Adria League caster took first place, although he did not start as planned. He lost the first match 2:0 against BUD_skrebo98, but after that, he didn’t lose a single match. Nikolas accumulated 13 points and placed first, while Jahaa acquired 12 points and as a second seed secured TOP 8.  He was the surprise of the whole tournament. Jahaa entered the decisive matches with Nikolas with four victories, but he stayed there. Nikolas won in both matches. 

In group D, we saw total dominance by BUD_lazar, who is also the MVP of this round with 18/18 points. He didn’t lose or draw a single match and his stats are insane. Lazar scored 16 goals, conceded only three, and made 22 shots out of which 21 were on target (95.45% accuracy). This player had an average of 49.32% possession per game while maintaining an impressive 92.82% pass accuracy. Furthermore, in group D, SPK_SavaZver finished second with seven points respectively.

Here are the TOP 8 players in EAFC25

The second group stage round brought us matches that decided who was going to proceed to compete in the league this season. After all the matches finished we got the best eight players. Three players from Group D had the same amount of points (9), so additional matches had to be played. Furthermore, the biggest surprise of this stage was probably GAME ON Marac, the defending champion, who only acquired four points and placed last in his group. This means that the 14th season will have a new champion!

On stream, we had a chance to watch six games in the EAFC25 competition. The first match of the day between the undefeated Brstimir and Misko ended with a 2:1 win for the latter. Misko finished the job already in the first half with a two-goal lead. Brstimir tried to get back into the match with a goal by Gullit in the 69th minute, but in the end, he still lost.

The second match of the day, between Maksa and CLA Tuna, was quite one-sided since it ended with a score of 3:0 for Maksa. Tuna had opportunities but did not use them even for an honorable goal. The third match of the day was supposed to be Jasik and CLA Th3Prod1gy but since they could not go through to the second stage and this match had no impact, they gave up. So, we watched AmcoS and Matket. AmcoS once again was great in the final minutes of the match. It was 1:1 almost until the end and then in the photo finish, AmcoS scored a goal in the 90th minute to win!

The 4th match of the day was Maksa again, but this time versus GAME ON Marac. Maksa was the last from the playoffs to go through the qualifications, but that didn’t stop him from holding a lesson today against last season’s champion Marac with a score of 6:1! Amazing performance indeed.

The 5th match of the day was played between Hara and Fika. Hara demolished his opponent Fika with a 5:1 score. The players were in the mood this round to score a lot of goals, and we have seen many interesting matches. Furthermore, in the last match of the day Hara had another duel. This time he was fighting Teo. Teo quickly led 2:0 in the first half and until the end, Hara did not manage to come back. He only scored an honorable goal by Cruyff in the 78th minute ending the game 2:1.]

A1AL EAFC25 TOP 8:

• Misko
• Brstimir
• AmcoS
• PLGNN Matke
• Gruby
• CLA_Tuna13
• Hara
• Teo

CS2 teams Baklava Gaming and GOT snatch their first A1AL group-stage wins

In the third round of the CS2 group stage of the 14th A1AL season, we saw two duels between teams with a 0:1 score. The first duel was played between GOT and Max team where GOT celebrated with a 2:0 win. In the second match, Baklava Gaming took on Diamant Esports and won 2:1.

The first game that GOT and their opponent played started on Ancient. It was a very tense first map, in which we constantly watched the change of the leading team. Max Team often had the advantage and opportunities to perfect the match. They reach a 10:8 lead, but that’s where it stops. GOT had a blast on the CT side and managed to finish the map at 13:10. 

In the second game, GOT starts phenomenally on the T side of Anubis with a score of 5:1. Zecco wakes up in that round and finds two amazing kills and an ace with Deagle, but that didn’t last long. In the next round, GOT continues its dominance and goes to the half to a 9:3 lead. They do not stop, as Max Team takes only one round in the second half. Eventually, GOT takes the win with a score of 13:4. 

The second duel was played on all three maps (Anubis, Ancient, Dust 2 – decider). Another very close match on Anubis started off the duel between Baklava and Diamant. Baklava started fantastically with a 4:0 score. After Diamant took one round, RiiL3 has a fantastic 2v1 clutch. At the end of the half, the score was 6:6, where Diamant scored five rounds to get even and take the lead. Baklava Gaming follows them and on the wings of RiiL3 and on the mistakes of Diamant they come to a victory of 13:10.

On Ancient both teams were in the lead for a little while. A handful of rounds in which the team with weaker weaponry manages to win the round. With a 10:9 score, Baklava took the lead. Libra had a fantastic clutch to bring the score back to 10:10 and Baklava was in trouble because they had to go eco. Diamant took advantage of that and went to a 12:10 score. After that. Baklava won the round and sent Diamant into trouble. They didn’t have a full buy, but they outplayed Baklava and took the map from them with 13:10.

We saw on the A1AL stream a complete dominance of Baklava on Dust2. Diamant practically wasn’t on the server as their opponents didn’t let them play. On the CT side, Baklava stopped everything that Diamant threw in front of them. They managed to collect four rounds in the first half (8-4). After that, Diamant couldn’t win a single round and Baklava won 13:4. Also in the end T0mann gave us a fantastic 1v3 clutch.
