League of Legends playoffs are just around the corner!

/0 Comments/in , /by

League of Legends made its appearance in yet another season of the A1 Adria League. Much like last season LoL format contains qualifications and playoffs, where the top four teams will compete. The top four contenders for this season are Fantastic eSports, HARMONY, Stara Garda, and Pedantic esports.

Who will lift the trophy?

More than 50 teams registered for this season’s qualifier in League of Legends. Unfortunately, there was a bracket limit, so we saw the overall of 32 teams compete for only four spots in the playoff stage. There were a lot of surprises in these qualifications, and we have seen some familiar names compete for the next stage and a chance to be the best team in the region.

On one side of the bracket, it was L9 Exodia and HARMONY who were fighting for the semifinals and a ticket to the playoff stage. In their Bo3 duel, it was HARMONY, the eighth-season finalist, who was stronger. They took the win with a 2:0 score. Pedantic esports did the same with their opponents, also ending the deciding match with a 2:0 win.

The biggest surprise in the past LoL qualifier was Fantastic eSports who dominated the competition, eliminating two very familiar names in the region. They defeated Diamant Esports, who we know from EBL, and 49% winrate who were also in the top four in the eighth season. Diamant Esports not making it to the playoffs is the biggest upset of the season, seeing that in EBL Summer Split they were the third-best team.

The fourth contender for the title is team Stara Garda who defeated team TEMTG with a 2:0 score.

The finals, i.e. playoffs in the League of Legends competition in the tenth A1 Adria League season are scheduled for Saturday, October 15th. The matches begin at 2 PM and the bracket will be double elimination, so there is little space for mistakes. The winner will take a 700€ prize!

 

 

49% winrate are the first lower-bracket finalists!

A playday dedicated to the lower-bracket saw 49% winrate outplay Vinland and Clouded Leopards and advance to the lower finals.

While the League of Legends scene was focused on the Worlds 2021 finals where EDward Gaming defeated DAMWON, the regional teams had a great day as well. Clouded Leopards faced Fantastic Esports in one of the two lower-bracket quarterfinals. Our viewers had the chance to watch three action-packed matches in which Clouded Leopards proved to be the dominant side and eliminated their opponents from the tournament.

Off-stream, 49% winrate and Vinland Esports played the second match of this round. As 49% winrate was far better than the latter team today, the match concluded after only two games. The team then went on to challenge Clouded Leopards in the next match. Once again, they impressed everyone and smashed CL 2-0 to finally reach the lower-bracket finals. There, the loser of the match between Metamoon and Harmony will be their next opponent.

We will not be seeing Lupus and Banished Esports anymore this season as they were eliminated in today’s lower bracket matches.

Two matches were played simultaneously in the lower bracket of this season’s playoffs. As it ended after only two games, Fantastic Esports and Banished Esports concluded their match first. It was Fantastic that came out as the winners and eliminated Banished from the eighth season. A bit after them, the second lower bracket Round 1 match also came to an end. This time, the team that saved itself from elimination was Vinland Esports, while their opponents, Lupus, had to say their goodbyes to the A1 Adria League.

In the meantime, the upper bracket semifinals were also underway. The two teams that qualified for the league together in Qualifier #2, Harmony and 49% winrate, clashed spears in the first of two semifinal matches that took place today. Harmony managed to defeat 49% winrate in the third game of the BO3 match and became the first upper bracket finalist of this playoffs stage. The final match of the day saw Metamoon defeat Clouded Leopards and secure a match versus Harmony in the upper bracket finals.

After four qualifying cups, today we marked the beginning of the League of Legends regional playoffs stage!

The first of the two streamed matches for today saw Clouded Leopards challenge Lupus eSports in a BO3 duel. Lupus eSports were the first team to qualify for the league, and they were also the first team to be sent to the lower bracket. A bit later, Metamoon managed to defeat Vinland Esports in a match that was available for everyone to watch on our streaming channels. In our next playday, Metamoon and Clouded Leopards will clash to decide one of the two winners’ bracket finalists of this season.

49% winrate and Fantastic Esports also played a tough match. Their match wasn’t streamed on our channels. After two intense nail-biters, 49% winrate sent Fantastic Esports to the losers’ bracket in the very first round. Our second off-stream match was between Harmony and Banished Esports. The Macedonian players had the same success as 49% winrate and managed to close out the quarterfinal duel in their favor without much trouble. With these two matches being concluded, we now know the second upper bracket semifinal – Harmony vs. 49% winrate.

The League of Legends quarterfinal matches ended as follows:

The third LOL qualifier is over; Fantastic & Mafija Lebrinyja qualify!

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the third of four League of Legends qualifiers, Fantastic Esports and Mafija Lebrinyja joined our four already-qualified teams.

A total of 17 teams confirmed their attendance for the third League of Legends qualifier which meanт that the Round of 32 had only one match (Milex21’s party 1 – 0 Team Revenge). In Round 2, Inferal eSports lost to Milex21’s party, but the team’s streak ended in the quarterfinals when they faced Fantastic Esports. The Croatian organization that was a part of the last season managed to advance to the semifinals where they played Dogs unleashed in the decider match. Through TEAM SIGET and G2 Academy v2, respectively, they secured a spot in the duel versus Fantastic which went to all three matches. In the end, however, Fantastic reigned supreme and won the deciding BO3 match.

Devotion and Mafija Lebrinyja fought for the sixth spot in the A1 Adria League. The former advanced at the expense of 30 min team, and later on, Kako god oces, and seemed ready to take the second spot of the day. Further down in the bracket, Mafija Lebrinyja started their journey to the semis by defeating the Macedonian team FunTeam MKD. Their second and simultaneously last opponents before the decider were DARKIC NARKIC. After Fantastic did it a bit earlier, Mafija Lebrinyja also managed to secure a spot in the league.

Sunday was the climax of a two-month-long CS:GO journey, as well as the end of this, seventh, iteration of the League.

Two matches separate us from crowning the A1 Adria League of Legends champions for the first time since the second season of the league!

Fiko Izdaja vs. Harmony

The two teams will face each other in the lower bracket finals to decide the second finalist of the League. The Macedonian team Harmony fell into the lower bracket after suffering a defeat against Split Raiders who are now waiting for their opponents in the final. Since then, they managed to outplay QSKE Gaming and Harmony, and now their last opponent is Fiko Izdaja. On the other hand, Fiko Izdaja had a great run in the regional playoffs, but they also couldn’t get past Split Raiders. The first match of the day starts at 14 o’clock, right after the game preshow comes to an end.

Saturday – 14:00:
 Harmony vs. hr Fiko Izdaja

Split Raiders vs. Harmony/ Fiko Izdaja

Split Raiders have been absolutely unstoppable this entire season. During the Croatian qualifiers, they didn’t lose a single map, let alone a match and now they have been showing even more of their qualities. Once again, they passed the rest of the matches undefeated, but at the very least, Harmony succeeded in winning a map against them this time. Will someone take down the favorites or will they reign supreme in the finals as well? Tune in to find out!

CS:GO, Brawl Stars, and FIFA21 have reached the end of the SWISS stage and are ready to hop into the playoffs stage of the seventh season!

Brawl Stars

The fifth Brawl Stars round was played a week before the other two. Mayoi and Lil Surprise managed to squeeze past Tora Gold and 09 Gang. These two matches concluded a group stage that was filled with high-quality matches from its very beginning. The Noble Elite squads qualified a bit earlier, in the third (BLK) and fourth round (Red). While we will still watch these four teams further in the playoffs, we need to shout out Tora Gold, 09 Gang, Omerta, and QSKE Gaming for the great matches – we hope to see you in Season 8 as well!

FIFA21

Our FIFA players haven’t been any less incredible this season. From Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac breezing past 3-0 to Esad “NKOS_esad1memic” Memić qualifying in the last rounds, all qualified players completely deserve to be in the playoffs. In the last round, Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi, a new player in the League, had to leave us after being eliminated by NKOS_esad1memic. We would love to see him try to qualify for the next season as well, together with Armin “arminho0307” Hasanbegović, Marko “klaic” Klaić, and Emir “Sulja” Suljović.

CS:GO

This last Sunday was reserved for a match between the Serbian teams 4glory and Cobalt Esports. 4glory came extremely prepared for the match and they were able to counter Cobalt’s playstyle with ease. What followed was a 2-0 win for Luka “c0llins” Živanović’s squad who are now the last team to qualify for the CS:GO playoffs. More information about the semifinal matches in CS:GO as well as in the other two titles will be revealed soon!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

CS:GO and FIFA21 will play out their respective fifth SWISS rounds during this week, while on Saturday, League of Legends will continue with its Regional Playoffs stage!

FIFA21, just like CS:GO, has one match remaining before we reach this season’s playoffs. Leon “Sardinho213” Šardi and NK Osijek’s Esad “NKOS_esad1memic” Memić will clash for the last playoffs spot. The season 5 champion has had a shaky group stage so far and his opponent, Sardinho213, is sure to put up a great fight in the last match. Tonight, the two of them will give their best, but there is only one spot remaining in the playoffs. Tune in and watch this match that is certainly going to be a spectacle.

FIFA

Two Serbian and two Macedonian teams will fight for first place in the CS:GO playoffs. The question for this Sunday is, which team is going to be the second Serbian team that will join ONYX, Good Game, and PORTUGAL in the final stage of the A1 Adria League. On one side, we have 4glory, while their opponents are none other than – Cobalt Esports. Both squads showed their quality during the SWISS stage and now it is time to see which team will prevail – will it be Marko “Maki” Mijatović’s Cobalt Esports or Luka “c0llins” Živanović’s 4glory?

CS:GO

While the SWISS stages are coming to an end, the current League of Legends stage is going on and slowly coming close to its pinnacle. This week, we have three matches – Split Raiders are meeting Fiko Izdaja in the upper bracket playoffs, Mental Boomers and Placeholder will fight for one of the spots in the third lower bracket round, with the second one going to the winners of the Harmony – QSKE Gaming matchup. The stream starts at 14:00 this week, so make sure to join our broadcasting channels and watch the League of Legends action!
