Joža Esports win Clash Royale; amke2001 is the FIFA21 champion!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

What an amazing time we had during the sixth A1 Adria League season. The sixth Clash Royale season saw Joža Esports secured the first place even though LAZR didn’t lose a single group stage game, and in FIFA, amke2001 was the best player in the double-elimination bracket.

Clash Royale

The group stage produced some intense moments and with that in mind, we came to the finals in which the following matches did not disappoint at all. Joža Esports as an underdog went from the bottom to the top in an extraordinary fashion.

All teams participated in the Gauntlet system, which meant that  Team LAZR already secured a spot and the rest had to fight for the second seat. But, there was a catch – the games were played in BO5 format (1v1, 2v2, KotH, 1v1 and 1v1).

Joža (ex Totem) played the first game against Tribe Academy and the winner of that match was supposed to go against Flayn eSports. Joža Esports was down 1-2 after the first three games and it seemed like they were going to step aside after only one match. But, Joža’s players showed great composure which gave them an edge in the end and they won the match against Tribe.

Joža Esports then went to the semifinal where Flayn eSports was waiting. Flayn was a favorite in this match, but Joža showed us that even a mighty can fall. Surprisingly, it was a much easier match for Joža against Flayn than it was versus Tribe. The team won 3-1 and went to the final.

The undefeated team of the group Team LAZR was waiting for them in the final. Absolute powerhouse with 10 victories and zero losses was ready to face the underdog. LAZR took the lead in the 1v1, but Joža returned the favor in 2v2 set. KotH was a close one with LAZR managing to get on top, but in the next two sets, Joža Esports’ players pulled themselves together and won the match with a final score being 3-2.

So that is it – Joža Esports is the winner of Clash Royale in the sixth season of A1 Adria League. Team LAZR came home second with only one defeat, Flayn eSports was third and Tribe Academy fourth. It was a season worth watching and we can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for us.

Clash Royale’s teams finished the sixth A1 Adria League season in the following manner:

1. Joža Esports
2. Team LAZR
3. Flayn eSports
4. Tribe Academy

FIFA

FIFA was the last A1 Adria League game to finish – its playoffs were played on Sunday and amke took one final W for this season. The four top players from the nine qualifiers met each other in the final playoffs kup.

esad1memic and Amke2001 player the first semifinal, while brstimir and Ajdin977 met each other later on. Amke and brstimir advanced through to the upper bracket finals where amke was able to best the veteran player.

Ajdin977 failed to win the elimination match between him and Esad and he, unfortunately, finished the A1 Adria League in fourth place. esad1memic managed to complete the comeback and qualify for the finals after winning against brstimir but that didn’t help him in the finals. Amke2001 reigned supreme over the season five winner and is now the A1 Adria League S6 champion.

2. esad1memic – €600

Three intense A1 Adria League playoffs already came to an end. Last, but not least, we will see the four greatest regional e-football players play the FIFA21 playoffs for the second time this year.

The sixth season of the A1 Adria League was played during a transitional period for FIFA. We had a total of nine qualifiers, with three mini-playoff cups in between. After the first three cups, brstimir breezed past the competition and secured the first spot in the main playoffs event.

In the second trio of qualifiers, eight players once again entered the race for a place in the playoffs. This time, the FIFA21 Adria Prvenstvo S1 champion, amke2001, managed to slip past his opponents and join brstimir.

As the new edition of FIFA was released, we gave a short time for the players to adapt to the new game. The last trio of qualifiers brought two new competitors to the finals. Ajdin and esad1memic were the duo that adapted to the new iteration of FIFA the fastest and they completed the A1 Adria League playoffs list.

brstimir will face Ajdin while amke2001 will take on esad1memic in the semifinal matches tomorrow. The matches start in 14:00, but be there an hour earlier to be a part of the preshow analysis with PvtMole and Baro.

The prize pool will be split in the following manner:

1. €1,100
2. €600
3. €300
4. €150

We are back on track with the League after a one-week long delay. FIFA had its first FIFA21 qualifier played out, while Brawl Stars closed out qualifier number 11.

Brawl Stars

The eight best teams in the qualifier reached the quarterfinal stage without any difficulties. 09 Gang matched up with Noobs, while FA Deadly faced BadBoys. Noobs managed to win the game against 09 Gang and FA Deadly showed great individual skill versus BadBoys. Ekipa 69 and Code Lyoko had quarterfinal matches against Good Game Gold and Red, respectively. As expected, the GG teams managed to pass this obstacle and reach the semis.

The Good Game derby happened once again in the semifinals of this cup. After a couple of wins by the Red squad, this time, it was Good Game Gold that won the match and advanced to the finals. FA Deadly followed suit and joined the finals, but Sabasniper’s squad couldn’t stand up to Good Game Gold.

The Brawl Stars rankings after the 11th cup are as follows:

FIFA

FIFA was back with the third trio of qualifiers. As FIFA21 came out, the remaining qualifiers will be played on the new version of the game. The seventh qualifier was dominated by Bosnian players with five out of the eight quarterfinalists being Bosnian. Ajdin977 was better than Erminjamak while esad1memic bested Bati.

Arminho and DziDziAnlaki secured the last semifinal spots after victories versus Stojanov_99 and Tana, respectively. In the Bosnian semifinals, esad1memic outplayed his countryman, Ajdin977, and advanced to the finals. DziDziAnlaki lost his match versus Arminho but managed to beat Ajdin in the third-place decider. Arminho was crowned the champion of this week’s FIFA qualifier as he came out on top against the current champion, esad1memic.

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.

We are more than halfway through with the Brawl Stars qualifiers. FIFA closed out its second playoffs cup, and just like always, both games showed us the quality of the competitive scene in this region.

Brawl Stars

Over 20 teams signed up for the seventh Brawl Stars qualifier. As we are reaching the end of the qualifiers, the leaderboard is starting to form itself and some of the best names in the region are already up there. One of the things that surprised us the most in this qualifier was that finally, someone other than GG Red was able to take down Good Game’s Gold squad. The team that managed to pull this off were Blue Whales, and they did it in the quarterfinals.

Two newer names, Gamer squad and Ready To Win also reached the quarters with the latter advancing to the semifinals of the qualifier. Code Lyoko bested Ekipa 69 on the road to a match against GG Red, who had just won their match versus Taktika baklava. Blue Whales continued with their awesome form in the semifinal match against Ready To Win as well. Good Game Red breezed past Code Lyoko, and in the Grand Finals managed to avenge Good Game Gold against Blue Whales.

FIFA

Eight players once again faced off for a spot in the main playoffs stage of the League. The four players that managed to go past the SWISS stage were Robert “rob1” Persaj, Djordje “JasikFifa” Cumbo, Tarik “amke2001” Novo, and the reigning champion, Esad “esad1memic” Memić. Stevan Mačkić and PvtMole cast the most interesting playoffs matches and we had the chance to watch a couple of incredible FIFA games throughout the weekend.

The four players that advanced through the SWISS stage met each other in a single-elimination cup. amke2001 faced rob1, while esad1memic played against Jasik. esad1memic and rob1 were eliminated from the tournament after losses to Jasik and esad1memic, respectively. An amazing grand final saw amke2001 become the second grand finalist of the sixth A1 Adria League season. FIFA will be back with the last trio of qualifiers this Saturday, and in the meantime, esad1memic and brstimir can prepare for their opponents.

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.

 

The reigning champion triumphs in the second FIFA qualifier!

Unfortunately, Brawl Stars’ qualifier was rescheduled because of an in-game patch that could have caused server instability. We decided that it would be best for the teams to have the qualifier played at another date in order to avoid problems that would hurt the integrity of the matches.

JasikFifa and Vukovarac999 faced each other in the Round of 16 of the second trio of FIFA qualifiers. The former was able to beat the Croatian player and secure a match versus Harun in the quarters. Even though Harun was able to eliminate arminho from the qualifier, he wasn’t good enough in the quarterfinals and Jasik bested him. rob1 and HRVoje-95 were a part of the quarterfinals after wins versus Hardi and mickey_rrrox, respectively. This quarterfinal match ended in favor of rob1 who once again showed how good of a player he is.

The second half of the Ro16 matches saw two Bosnian and two Croatian players advance to the quarterfinals. Mrky2402 and DziDziAnlaki played against one another for a spot in the semis and in the end, DziDziAnlaki outplayed his countryman. The winner of the previous qualifier, amke2001, and the current A1 Adria League champion, esad1memic, played in the last quarterfinals match. esad1memic managed to slip past amke2001 and get a step closer to winning a FIFA qualifier.

DziDziAnlaki and esad1memic met each other in the second semifinal match. esad1memic’s experience reigned supreme in the match and secured one of the two Grand Final spots. JasikFifa and RUR rob1 played a great semifinal, but in the end, rob1 proceeded to the finals. The finals ended in favor of the current League champion, while JasikFifa outplayed DziDziAnlaki in the third-place decider.

A1 Adria League S6 - FIFA Standings 2-2

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

 

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.

GG Gold keep going strong; amke2001 secures the first 100 FIFA points

/0 Comments/in , /by

With CS:GO and Clash Royale marking the start of their respective group stages recently, we will be covering them in separate articles. The fifth week saw FIFA begin the second trio of qualifiers, while the Good Game teams are continuing their dominant journey through the qualifiers.

Brawl Stars

Troleri once again secured their spot in the Round of 16. Unfortunately for them, they got paired with GG Gold and were consequently, eliminated from the qualifier. Ekipa 69 and LovciNaZmajeve didn’t have much trouble versus On-Fire and LastChance, respectively. Never Surrender didn’t surrender in their match against Alpha Extreme and proceeded to the quarterfinals.

MysteryWarrioRS are among the teams that have always passed the first stages of the qualifiers but never got a chance to be closer to the top. The same happened on Wednesday when the team bested O9 Gang and earned a spot in the quarters. Code Lyoko are even further from catching up to the GG squads after being eliminated early by FA Deadly. Good Game Red took yet another good squad in Blue Whales, while Tehno Diamond couldn’t get past Astronauti.

Good Game Gold and Red were at different sides of the bracket, perfect for yet another Grand Final matchup. The Red squad bested Astronauti, while the Golden boys were far better than LovciNaZmajeve. Ekipa 69 advanced to the semis over Never Surrender and MysterWarrioRS lost their duel versus FA Deadly.

Once again, the semis went the Good Game way. Ekipa 69 and FA Deadly finished the fifth qualifier at 3rd-4th, while Gold once again triumphed and now have a total of 440 points behind their name.

A1 Adria League S6 - Brawl Stars Standings 5

FIFA

As usual, names like esad1memic, arminho0307 and amke2001 were once again a part of the Round of 16. esad1memic won the Bosnian duel versus Ajdin997 and simke was the better player on the field against Hardi. The Slovenian player Bokip84 was eliminated by Antonio. Mrky once again secured his place between the top eight players, while edenn95 finished his road at the Ro16.

esad1memic continued his winning streak during the quarterfinals. This time, simke was the victim, and the Croat, along with Antonio from the second quarterfinal ended their FIFA road for this qualifier. Stojanov1999 taught arminho0307 a lesson and amke2001 bested Harun without any difficulties.

Heading into the semis, Mrky lost to esad1memic and Stojanov couldn’t get past amke2001. The former won the third-place decider and earned a bigger sum of points, while amke2001 beat the reigning champion in the Grand Finals.

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.

A1 Adria League S6 - Clash Royale Standings 2

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.
