November 3, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The A1AL LAN event in Zagreb is closer than ever! This weekend the last group stage rounds were played in CS2, EAFC, and Brawl Stars, as FC Mobile finished the week before. Only the best made it through and we will watch them compete for the champion title live from the 14th to the 17th of November. Currently, only the PUBG competition remains, and it will be played next weekend. But before that, let’s see who secured their spot in the 14th season of the A1 Adria League.

The top four in Brawl Stars competition

As always the first to take the stage were Brawl Stars teams. On Friday the final phase of the online A1AL S14 in Brawl Stars was played, where teams competed to join Frutas at the LAN final in Zagreb. As you know, Frutas already secured their spot, with impeccable performance the previous weekend.

In the first match of the day, Fantastic eSport defeated La Masia 3:0. Fantastic eSport had a second chance to reach the top 4, making the most of it with a 2:0 win in Gem Grab, a 2:1 win in Bounty, and a 2:0 win in Hot Zone. With only one lost set, they secured their finale spot, ending La Masia’s journey in this A1AL season.

Secondly, Gospodin Adry advanced over FBI by default, as FBI, despite progressing through the main tournament, did not appear on the last online day, automatically giving the win to Gospodin Adry.

Delulu overcame Team Cherry 3:1 in the third match of the competition. Although Team Cherry opened strong with a 2:0 win in Gem Grab, Delulu made a comeback, winning 2:1 in Bounty and 2:1 in Hot Zone, before clinching the final victory in Knockout with a 2:0 win. This turnaround secured Delulu’s spot in the LAN.

Lastly, Gospodin Adry defeated Team Cherry 3:1 for the last spot in the top 4. After advancing directly, Gospodin Adry faced Cherry, who had one last chance to reach the top 4. Gospodin Adry took an early lead with a 2:1 win in Gem Grab, but Cherry equalized after winning 2:1 in Bounty. The two teams battled intensely in Hot Zone, with Gospodin Adry reclaiming the lead after a 2:1 win. In the final round, Gospodin Adry secured their place in the top 4 with a 2:1 victory in Knockout.

A1AL awaiting new EAFC champion

The evening saw intense action in the A1AL EAFC competition, with top players Gruby, Teo, PLGNN Matke, and Nemanja Mišić competing in thrilling matches as they fought for a spot in the final tournament in Zagreb. Marko Grubišić, known as Gruby, and Teo Radman managed to secure their places in the LAN finals after dramatic games filled with skillful play and high-scoring goals.

Champion of the 10th season again at LAN

In the matchup between Gruby and Teo, Gruby won the first game 4:2, with standout performances from Bale and Kvarachelia, who scored pivotal goals. Teo’s scorers, Schelin and Son, couldn’t quite match Gruby’s pace, though they kept it competitive. The second game ended in a 3:3 draw after a hat-trick from Teo’s Vinicius and additional goals from Gruby’s Kvarachelia and Ratter, showcasing the teams’ balanced abilities. With his solid performance, Gruby solidified his position as a contender in the finals.

Meanwhile, in an off-stream match, PLGNN Matke faced Nemanja Mišić, but Mišić dominated with two wins (3:2 and 5:0), effectively eliminating Matke from further competition. Following this, Gruby took on Mišić in a closely contested matchup. Their first game was a 1:1 draw, with goals from Mišić’s Putellas and Gruby’s Mbappe. In the second game, Gruby’s Mbappe scored twice to secure a 2:0 win, demonstrating Gruby’s consistency and advancing him to the top 4.

Teo’s next match was against Matke. Teo won their first off-stream game 5:3 and secured the second game 3:1, with Son and Vinicius scoring late to seal the victory. This result eliminated Matke and set Teo up as a formidable opponent in the upcoming LAN finals. Gruby further cemented his place in the top 4 with another off-stream win over Matke (4:3 and 3:2), confirming his spot among the top players.

Miško dropped the final in a dramatic ending

The final match to determine the LAN qualifiers featured Teo against Mišić. The first game was an intense 2:2 draw, with Mišić initially taking the lead twice through Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. On the other hand, Teo’s Vinicius managed to equalize in stoppage time after a defensive error by van Dijk. In the second game, Mišić again gained a two-goal advantage, thanks to Valverde and Son, but Teo made a stunning comeback. Karolin Graham Hansen scored twice, with Vinicius adding a final goal after an assist from Salah, clinching the match and securing Teo’s spot in the final four.

As the tournament heads to the LAN finals in Zagreb, the lineup is now set. Gruby, Teo, Brstimir, and Parla will compete on November 15th for the title of the best EAFC player in the region. The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the season, with fans eagerly awaiting the crowning of the new A1 Adria League champion.

0to100 and Kubix complete the Season 14 top four in CS2

This Sunday the last two duels were played for the final two A1AL spots in the CS2 competition. After Juggernats and Z10 advanced to the finale, they were joined by 0to100 and Kubix completing the best four teams. Oto100 defeated Baklava Gaming, while Kubix bested GOT.

In the match between 0to100 and Baklava Gaming on Dust II, Baklava began with a strong 5:0 lead. After a timeout, 0to100 rallied, winning six consecutive rounds to take the lead. The first half ended evenly at 6:6. The second half saw 0to100 dominate, conceding only a few rounds to Baklava and ultimately securing a 13:8 victory.

On Mirage, Baklava’s T0mann started with a pistol ACE, helping them win the first three rounds. 0to100 quickly responded, leveling the score at 3:3, then pushing ahead to 4:3. By halftime, 0to100 held an 8:4 advantage. Like Dust II, they claimed the second pistol round and controlled the half, winning Mirage 13:8.

In the GOT versus Kubix matchup, Kubix came out aggressively on Inferno, establishing a 4:0 lead. After exchanging rounds, Kubix closed out Inferno dominantly with a 13:4 score. This was a pretty one-sided game and a clean win for Kubix.

The Dust II game opened with GOT taking a commanding 6:0 lead. Kubix then won four rounds, but GOT closed the half with an 8:4 lead. Kubix recovered in the second half, leveling the score at 8:8 and pulling ahead to 10:8. GOT tied it again at 10:10, but the teams traded rounds in a back-and-forth finish. Ultimately, Kubix edged out GOT with a final score of 13:11. It was amazing and exciting to watch these two teams try so hard to secure the finale. Unfortunately, even though they both showed extraordinary performance, only one could make it.

A1AL Playoffs: LAN spots secured in Brawl Stars, EAFC25, FC Mobile, and CS2

The A1AL playoff stage is coming to an end slowly but surely, and the LAN finale in Zagreb is just around the corner. Another A1 Adria League group stage round was played this weekend. Some players and teams even secured their spot at the 14th season LAN event. Read on to learn how each team performed, and who we’re seeing at the event in Brawl Stars, EAFC25, FC Mobile, and CS2.

Frutas secured a LAN spot in the Brawl Stars A1AL competition

Another group stage round was played and the matches were more than interesting. We saw a lot of exciting clashes between Brawl Stars contestants. Already, we have a team that will be attending LAN, and it’s Frutas, our most awarded BS team in the league and the title defender.

The first match of the day was Frutas against Fantastic eSports (ex 76ers). In an exciting Brawl Stars, El Classico for A1AL, Frutas, and Fantastic eSports—two of the top teams—finally clashed in the Swiss phase. While Frutas ultimately dominated the sets, Fantastic briefly kept fans on edge with an opening win in the Brawl Ball set. For a moment, it seemed they might take the match, but once Frutas hit their stride, it was effectively over for Fantastic, who were outplayed in the remaining sets.

The second match between FBI and Team Cherry was the most intense showdown yet. Although FBI came in as favorites, Team Cherry bounced back from a 2:1 deficit in the sets, flipping the match in their favor with a decisive win in the final Hot Zone set.

The third match of the day finished with team Maestros going home empty-handed. However, despite entering as underdogs, Maestros left the tournament with their heads held high. They put up a strong fight and scored their first Swiss victory in the Gem Grab set. However, LA Masia proved too powerful, finishing them off in the Knockout round.

Last but not least, Gospodin Adry took on Delulu. The biggest upset of the day was this match, where Delulu emerged as an unexpected powerhouse. Though Mr. Adry was expected to win, Delulu, with standout plays from MVP Anton, claimed a sweeping 3:0 victory.

The best four FC Mobile players decided

In the top 8 stage that was played this weekend in FC Mobile, 66 goals were scored across 17 matches. Somzi became the first semi-finalist, comfortably defeating Sava 3:0 overall. He was soon joined by Shaq, the two-time Adria A1 champion, who won his first two matches with scores of 2:0 and 2:1. Although Shaq lost the third match 2:1 to Jaha, who scored impressive goals with Harry Kane, the fourth and fifth matches were thrilling, ending 1:1 and 3:3 without a winner.

The next semi-finalist emerged after a lengthy battle between Nikolas and Havertz, who played six matches. Known globally as an H2H player, Nikolas struggled initially, losing the first match due to Havertz’s formidable Marc Van Basten and precise Heel-to-heel moves. However, he bounced back, winning two matches 3:1 each. After Havertz claimed the fifth match, Nikolas clinched the sixth with a 4:2 victory, securing his LAN spot.

The final semi-finalist, Lazar, recovered from an initial loss to Mahir by winning the next three matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding only one, with 5:1, 5:0, and 1:0 results. He completes the FC Mobile A1AL line-up heading to Zagreb.

Brstimir and Hara from EAFC Group A go to LAN

Today’s group stage was filled with intense, high-quality matches featuring Hara, Brstimir, Amcos, and Cla Tuna. The top performers, Brstimir and Hara, secured their spots for the LAN tournament in Zagreb, showcasing impressive scoring skills. Brstimir finished at the top with 16 points, followed by Hara with 13 points. Both are set to compete at the LAN event in Zagreb with the best of the best.

The first two matches of this A1AL round in EAFC25 were played between Brstimir and Hara. These opening games set a competitive, defensive tone. In their first matchup, Hara equalized with a 91st-minute goal, earning him his reputation as the “king of extra time” for his clutch goals. The game ended 1:1, but Brstimir took the second match with a 2:1 win. Hara then faced Cla Tuna, winning the first match 2:1 and dominating the second with a 3:0 finish. This definitely highlighted his strong form.

Hara also played in the fifth match of the day, this time against Amcos. In that final match of the day, Amcos controlled much of the play, but Hara managed a narrow 1:0 victory, thanks to some remarkable saves from Kasper Schmeichel.

Once again the MVP of this round was Brstimir with five wins, one draw, and zero losses. He scored 20 goals and conceded only six while showcasing his 4-4-1-1 formation.

Next week we will watch Group B matches, and see who will join Brstimir and Hara in the top 4! Stay tuned for more.

Juggernauts and Z10 will play at the A1AL S14 LAN event

Two best-of-three (BO3) upper bracket semi-finals delivered a total of six maps, with each match reaching its final round in an intense battle to the end. Two of the teams that were better than their opponents were Juggernauts and Zero Tenacity who are going to compete in the A1AL S14 LAN finale.

The first duel was Juggernauts vs Kubix. Kubix secured the first map, Dust2, with a score of 13:8 after a strong second-half performance, reminding everyone of their championship status from last season. However, Juggernauts claimed victory on the remaining maps, Mirage and Inferno, after a hard-fought battle. Despite Kubix’s aggressive style, Juggernauts held their ground, ultimately winning 2:1 and sending Kubix to the lower bracket. They will still have a chance to secure their spot in the finals, so nothing is lost yet for Kubix.

In the second BO3 duel, Z10 took on the team 0 to 100. Zero Tenacity dominated their pick, Anubis, opening with 10 consecutive rounds and finishing the half nearly perfectly at 10:2. Although 0 to 100 pushed back in tighter rounds, Zero Tenacity won with a final score of 13:6. The second map, Mirage, was chosen by 0 to 100. They proved Zero Tenacity could be outplayed, securing a close 13:10 victory. The decider map, Inferno, was tense, with both teams exchanging leads. Nemanja, the day’s MVP, struggled alongside Simke to guard the B site, but they held firm in critical moments. This led Zero Tenacity to a narrow win.

A1AL S14 is already halfway through the qualifiers! Sign up and compete now!

September 23, 2024/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, CS2, EA FC 24, EA FC 24 Mobile, News, Season 14 /by galadriela

The second qualifiers are over in Brawl Stars, EAFC24, FC Mobile, and CS2. The 14th A1AL season is more competitive than ever and we never had this many signed-up players, especially in EAFC games. A whopping prize pool is waiting for the best at the end of the road. There isn’t much time to waste as we are already halfway through the qualifiers. Read on to learn who earned points this weekend and which teams secured the spot in the playoffs of the A1 Adria League.

Frutas continues their A1AL domination

Exciting second qualifiers in Brawl Stars. One side of the bracket was very intense, while on the other one, Frutas swiped everyone in their way. Some new teams made it to the top 8 this time and earned their first points. The first intense match was between Team Cherry and FBI, both of which competed in the previous season. FBI already had 5 points from Q1, and now with the win over their opponents, they have 10 and are in third place alongside two other teams.

However, after defeating Team Cherry, the FBI ran into Gospodin Adry. The latter proved to be superior and snatched a 2:1 win advancing to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Delulu made a lot of problems for Gospodin Adry and the series went into all five matches. The victor in the end was Gospodin Adry who secured their first qualifier finals in the A1AL. And who was waiting there… Of course, it was Frutas.

Frutas’ road to finals was pretty straightforward and they dominated the bracket again. The semifinals was a swift 3:0 win against the 76ers, as well as the finals where Frutas took another 20 points defeating Adry 3:1. Furthermore, it would have been 3:0 there as well if Frutas wasn’t trying out some off-meta picks. They now have 40 overall, followed by the 76ers and Gospodin Adry with 25 respectively.

The third qualifier will be played next Friday, September 27th, and you can sign up for it HERE!

SHAQ wins the second FC Mobile qualifiers in the A1AL

FC Mobile is going strong in the A1 Adria League. Even more players signed up for the second qualifiers. Out of 229 players, the best one was our defending champion SHAQ.
Just like in the first qualifier, there were no surprises in the first rounds. Favorites justified their role and advanced further into the competition. Interestingly, none of the top 4 players from the first qualifier (Nikolas7, HugoBOSS, Jaha, and Hrd_Iky) made it far and we didn’t have a chance to watch them on stream. The highest place out of the mentioned four went into the hands of Nikolas7, and even he only got to the TOP 32 where he lost to Alen. The latter was one of the new players who showed great performance. He placed fourth in Q2 and won 50 points.

On the other hand, as expected SHAQ won the most points followed by Skrebo98 from Buducnost with 100 points and Somzi from Spartak with 80 points. However when we take a look at the overall score SHAQ and Nikolas7 are sharing the top spot with 190 points, while HugoBOSS and Skrebo are sharing second place with 100 points.

The third A1AL FC Mobile qualifier will be played on the 28th of September, so don’t miss it. You can sign up for it by clicking on this LINK!

Brstimir emerges victorious and wins 100 points in EAFC

The second qualifier brought us some new players in the EAFC24 competition. Besides them, some familiar names also showed up such as Gruby, TheProdigy from the CLA organization, Hara, brstimir, and many more. Out of almost 45 players, brstimir was the best in this qualifier and he deservedly won maximum points.

The biggest surprise of the qualifier was probably our S10 champion and the winner of the first qualifier, Gruby, who was defeated in the very first round. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any points but with the previous 100 he is still in a very good spot and we will probably see more of him in the group stage.

TheProdigy did much better and managed to get to the quarterfinals but he got eliminated by Fika, who then got defeated by a Bosnian player AmcoS who qualified for the finals. A great performance from AmcoS was seen as he was getting ready to face our A1AL veteran brstimir.

The first match in the finals was a big win for brsitmir. He scored two goals at the start and with a steady performance won the first game with 5 goals in the net. Second game started similarly as brstimir scored two quick goals again before the 11th minute. However, AmcoS wasn’t going to let him win easily and he really tested brstimir’s defense. In the 85th minute of the match, he scored his first goal, and almost evened out the score in the 93rd minute, but hit the bar.

Now, brstimir and Gruby are in the first spot with 100 points, defending champion Marac and AmcoS are second with 70, followed by Nemanja_Misko with 60 points respectively.

If you sign up for the third qualifier and win 100 points, you will most definitely be in the playoffs. Do it HERE!

Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji qualify for the CS group stage

In the first qualifier, the two qualified teams were Oto100 and GOT. Now two more joined the group stage. Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji succeeded in making it to the qualifiers finals and securing participation in the league. But let’s see how their journey went.

Diamant Esports showed outstanding performance in this qualifier. They played the deciding best-of-three match against team Neugodni. The first map went into the hands of Neugodni who won 13:8 on Mirage. After that on the Diamant’s map pick, it was 13:10 for the Diamant, but it wasn’t an easy game at all. Neugodni almost came back and took the game for themselves. However, they couldn’t make it in the end which evened out the score. The deciding map was Dust2 where a similar situation occurred. Diamant dominated the first half when on the wings of Fixedinho, Neugodni returned to the game. But once again it wasn’t good enough and the game ended with the same score 13:10.

GornjiDonji also didn’t have many problems throughout the bracket. The only obstacle on their way should have been Cupava Veverica. However, they ended that match with a superiority and a 13:4 score. In their Bo3 match, GornjiDonji was against MainStack. The latter showed a good performance on Anubis and almost won, but GornjiDonji in the end prevailed and ended the first map with a 13:10 score. If the first match was a real nailbiter, the second one, on Ancient, was completely one-sided. GornjiDonji didn’t let their opponent breathe and demolished them pretty quickly, ending the game with a 13:1 score.

Teams who still haven’t qualified will have the last chance to do so on the 29th of September. CS2 competition only has three qualifiers, and there are only two spots left now. Hurry up and sign up for it HERE!
