lvlUP win their third consecutive A1 Adria League season!

December 3, 2020/0 Comments/in CS:GO, News /by ElGancho

Four teams, Blink, EAGLES, lvlUP and 4glory played the playoffs of the sixth A1 Adria League CS:GO season. Saturday was filled with amazing CS:GO action, and in the end, lvlUP reclaimed their title – for the third time in a row.

The playoffs were played out on Sunday and the Kosovar derby between Blink and EAGLES started the CS:GO-packed day. Blink and Genc “gxx-“ Kolgeci looked really confident on Train, where the vice-champions managed to secure a 16-9 win. Next up was Mirage, the map-pick of EAGLES. Blink were even better on the second map and they saw their opponents win only five rounds before taking them down.

Next up, lvlUP and 4glory, the former Shock Bomb team, crossed swords. On their map-pick, Nuke, lvlUP, had a dominant 11-4 half on the T side. 4glory’s T side started with a three-round streak, but Dimitrije “DiMKE” Veljković & co. quickly shut down 4glory’s momentum and closed out the map 16-8. lvlUP took a five-round lead at the beginning of Mirage. 4glory managed to come back in the game and see the half end with a small 7-8 deficit. The game was close until the very end where the current champions won the game in the last round of regulation.

While the third-place decider was played off-stream, we had the chance to watch the Grand Finals of the sixth A1 Adria League season live. Blink and lvlUP met each other in the finals for the third season in a row, and for the third time, lvlUP’s core reigned supreme. Blink’s weak CT side on Inferno lost them the game after only 22 rounds. They had a 5-10 deficit in the first half, but a better CT side would have let them come closer to the champions. The second map was Mirage and Blink played a bit better. After having a five-round difference, just like on Inferno, Blink were unable to come back and ended the finals with yet another loss (16-10).

In the third-place decided, 4glory outplayed EAGLES and earned their first bronze medal for the organization. The sixth A1 Adria League season ended with these team placements:

1. lvlUP – €6,000
2. Blink – €3,000
3. 4glory – €2,000
4. EAGLES – €1,000
5. Good Game
6-7. GODZ1337
6-7. eSportsKosova
8. Krško

A Macedonian derby to end the fourth CS:GO SWISS round!

November 1, 2020/0 Comments/in CS:GO, News /by ElGancho

The first part of the fourth SWISS CS:GO round was big for the Kosovar teams in the League. Blink and EAGLES two of the four playoffs spots, and unfortunately, eSportsKosova were eliminated from the tournament.

Blink vs. lvlUP

Probably the biggest derby in the region, Blink and lvlUP ended in favor of Sener “SENER1” Mahmuti’s team this time around. After a 5-1 lead for Blink, lvlUP caught up and tied the match. The first half ended with a 9-6 lead for the former. The Serbian powerhouse managed to come back and take a 10-6 lead on their CT side, but Blink’s players started dominating again and reached their 14th round without a problem. The match went to all 30 rounds, but in the end, Blink closed out Mirage with a close 16-14 victory.

Jon “b0r1” Nuredini’s 4k in the first pistol brought the round in favor of Blink. Even though Vertigo is one of the best maps for the Serbian champions, Blink were in great form and took this match in only two maps. After a 9-2 lead for the Kosovars, Miloš “dEE” Marčeta’s squad tried to go back into the game, but it was already too late. A 16-8 victory meant that Blink will be heading into the playoffs with a 3-1 record, joining Shock Bomb and the team that qualified after them, EAGLES.

eSportsKosova vs. EAGLES

The Kosovar duel between eSportsKosova and EAGLES started on Inferno. EAGLES had a great lead at the beginning of the half and managed to finish their T side with ten rounds. EAGLES’ weak CT side was severely punished by eSportsKosova who caught up to them (13-13), but a semi-buy in round 27 won the 14th round for Serdar “cerber” Mahmuti. Just like Blink’s first map, EAGLES barely escaped overtime and won Inferno 16-14.

Unlike lvlUP vs. Blink and their close Mirage game, this time, the match went to overtime. After both teams kept taking the lead, the regular part of the map ended in a 15-15 tie and we had the chance to watch overtime. EAGLES didn’t let the pressured get to them and closed the map 19-17.

Today, we will have the chance to watch a Macedonian derby between GODZ1337 and Good Game. Both of the teams currently have a 1-2 record and the loser of this match will be eliminated from the sixth season of the A1 Adria League.

It’s time for the fourth CS:GO SWISS round!

October 25, 2020/0 Comments/in CS:GO, News /by ElGancho

The third A1 Adria League CS:GO round has concluded. After Shock Bomb advanced to the playoffs in the first Round 3 playday, we saw two great matches in the second weekend.

EAGLES and Good Game clashed in the first game. Nuke saw an interesting match with Good Game coming out on top in the end. The game was pretty close, with both teams taking the lead at times, but Jasmin “JasmiNhs” Murič’s squad managed to take the victory. EAGLES had prepared for Inferno thoroughly. The Macedonian team won only two rounds in the entirety of the second map and the match was even.

The decider, Inferno, started great for Good Game – with a 4-0 lead. The Kosovar team quickly tied the game and proceeded to take the lead and finish the half 8-7 in their favor. Good Game started the second half with a great round streak, but EAGLES couldn’t let them complete the comeback. Serdar “cerber” Mahmuti and his team closed out the final map 16-12.

The second game was the 0-2 duel between GODZ1337 and Krsko. This match didn’t go to the third map, but instead, GODZ1337 closed it out in two. After an initial 5-1 lead for the Slovenian-Croatian mix, GODZ finished the half with a 10-5 scoreline. In the end, the Macedonian team managed to slip past Krsko who managed to come back and take the lead at 13-13. The match ended 16-14 in favor of GODZ who were a step closer to eliminating their opponents.

One more 16-14 loss for Krsko meant that Krunoslav “Salted” Katalinić and his team would be leaving the sixth A1 Adria League season in dead last. GODZ1337 are currently in the 1-2 pool and will be facing Good Game in the next round.

Shock Bomb upset lvlUP in the second SWISS round!

Two more matches brought the second CS:GO SWISS round to an end. GODZ1337 will now fight for survival, while Shock Bomb secured an upset and advanced to the 2-0 pool.

The first match of this playday saw the new Macedonian squad, GODZ1337 face off against EAGLES, who were playing the League as MiKS up to this playday. The Kosovar team started Inferno with a quick 5-0 lead, but Kristijan “kiLLeRa” Kukovski earned the first point for his team after a great 3k hold on the CT side. The teams were suddenly neck to neck at 6-6 and GODZ managed to close out the half with a 8-7 scoreline. GODZ1337 proceeded to lose a 15-11 lead and take the game into overtime. EAGLES were able to take four rounds in the first overtime and secure a 1-0 lead in the BO3 series.

After a great 7-2 start for the Macedonians, EAGLES came back and managed to win 6 rounds in the first half. GODZ however, quickly shut their opponents down and closed out the map 16-6. The BO3 headed into Dust2, and it was a bloodbath. The match was close until the very end, but a great B site defense secured the Kosovars the 15th round and let them secure overtime. Even though Blaže “HEv1x” Hristov was playing like a beast and got 38 kills, EAGLES won the BO3 and slipped into the 1-1 pool.

The absolute biggest upset in the past two seasons happened in the duel between Shock Bomb and lvlUP. lvlUP dominated the first map, Vertigo. Miloš “dEE” Marčeta and his team won 13 rounds on the CT side and quickly closed out the map with a 16-6 victory. What happened after Vertigo surprised everyone. The Click N Play 2020 champions, Shock Bomb, ended Dust2’s CT side with a 9-6 lead. The team’s great plan on the T side proved to work like a charm and they were a step closer to winning the BO3.

lvlUP won the first two rounds on Inferno, but Shock Bomb answered back with five. Ivan “pTKKK” Popov and his squad shocked everyone with a great T side half on Inferno. After a 9-6 lead, they managed to win three more rounds, but lvlUP tried to catch up to them. They were really close to bringing the map in their favor, but Shock Bomb beat the champions after all. A 16-11 victory meant that lvlUP will be heading into the 1-1 pool, while Shock Bomb are going to be a part of the 2-0 part of the table.

The second test coming up for GODZ1337 and lvlUP!

September 27, 2020/0 Comments/in CS:GO, News /by ElGancho

CS:GO’s A1 Adria League continued with two interesting matches that saw two Kosovar teams triumph without much difficulties.

Krško opened the second round with a match against eSportsKosova. After a good showing versus Good Game, Tilen “Grmek” Grmek and Krško were destroyed by one of the Kosovar teams in the League. The first half of Dust2 ended 13-2 in favor of Blend “v1w” Bunjaku’s team and the Slovenian-Croatian squad couldn’t win a single round in the second half. Krunoslav “Salted” Katalinić’s Krško weren’t any better on the second map, Inferno, and the team quickly secured a spot in the 0-2 pool. eSportsKosova will now be joining the 1-1 part of the League, together with Good Game.

Jane “aidKiT” Apostoloski’s Macedonian quintet lost the duel versus Blink. The match went to all three maps and after an initial win from Good Game, Blink turned the game around and secured yet another victory. Blink’s pick, Mirage, was a tight map that ended in a victory for Good Game. Both of the teams had really good plays, but in the end, three great plays from GG’s individuals won them the first map. Even though the first map promised a great BO3 series, Blink stomped their opponents in the next two maps. Ernest “xhoci” Xhoci was on fire and together with Genc “gxx-” Kolgeci they dominated the competition.

The second part of the second SWISS round will see two excellent matchups. GODZ1337 meets MiKS (EAGLES) in the first match of the day, and lvlUP will face Shock Bomb immediately after. Tune in and watch the biggest regional esports League on our Twitch channel!

Good Game and Blink get their first wins!

September 13, 2020/0 Comments/in CS:GO /by ElGancho

The CS:GO group stage has finally begun. Eight teams will be facing each other in a SWISS league that will determine the four playoffs participants. Last Sunday we had the chance to see the first two matches of the new season.

In the first match of the League, we saw a Kosovar duel between Blink and eSportsKosova. Sener “SENER1” Mahmuti’s team were considered favorites for this matchup, and they didn’t disappoint. Blink took 8 rounds on Train before eSportsKosova managed to strike back. The half ended with a 13-2 lead for the season 5 runner-ups, and they even won the pistol round after an amazing clutch from Genc “gxx-” Kolgeci. In the end, Blink closed out their map pick with a 16-6 victory.

The BO3 headed into Dust2. eSportsKosova showed some resistance at the beginning, but as the match progressed, their opponents overcame Arlind “deb0” Sadiku’s side. Most of the viewers expected a 2-0 win for Blink, and that is exactly what happened. The best Kosovar team kept their great form during the second half and won Dust2 without any difficulties (16-4).

The second match of the day saw the Macedonians from Good Game face Jan “jkXy” Konečnik’s Krsko. We witnessed a very close first half of Nuke. Good Game’s CT side ended with an 8-7 lead, but in the second part of the map, we saw an excellent T side from Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski and the rest of the squad. The Macedonian lost only one round in the second half and Kristijan “KiKOtB” Stojmanovski calmly won the last round with a 1v2 clutch.

Krsko took the lead in their hands during Dust2. After an initial Good Game lead, the Croatian-Slovenian squad came back and closed out the half with an 8-7 lead. As the map was nearing its end, the teams were playing much better and they couldn’t get a string of two rounds in a row. However, Jane”aidKiT” Apostoloski and Good Game didn’t let the map reach overtime and ended the day with a close 16-13 victory.

The second part of this round is continuing today. We will see a clash between the current champions lvlUP and MiKS, while later on, Shock Bomb and GODZ1337 will try to get their first win of this season.

In the second week of the A1 Adria League S6 qualifiers, we got three new CS:GO teams as well as the one Clash Royale side that finished the open qualifier in the first place. The Brawl Stars and FIFA players continued collecting points and we are slowly nearing the first FIFA playoffs event.

Brawl Stars

We saw a rematch of last week’s duel between Good Game Red and Good Game Gold, but this time it happened in the Round of 32. The Gold squad managed to win the match this time and advance all the way to the Grand Finals of the qualifier. Familiar names such as Easy Win, FA Deadly, and Code Lyoko were able to proceed to the quarterfinals after a great showing in the Round of 16. Electronic Rats bested YouLose and O9 Gang rounded up the best eight teams after a victory versus Team Hustle.

SBLightning’s Code Lyoko continued with the impressive performance they showed in the first qualifier. A win against Electronic Rats sent them into the first semifinal. Easy Win joined Code Lyoko after outplaying Team Unique, while on the other side of the quarters, FA Deadly and GG Gold bested O9 Gang and On-Fire, respectively.

Code Lyoko and GG Gold dominated the competition and secured a duel in the final match of the second qualifier. Andreybs’ squad took the first place on the leaderboard after a one-sided win against Code Lyoko, while the latter currently occupy the second place.

Clash Royale

After the only Clash Royale qualifier was delayed because of problems with the game, we continued with the event in Friday. Intense games and great plays led to the finals in which we saw Team KFC came out as the best team. Kully miss, Sharky SG, stormy doom, and xXMasterXx will be joining the five invited teams in the upcoming double round-robin Group Stage – Good Luck!

FIFA

brstimir seems more focused than ever in winning this season of A1 Adria League. His form in the first two qualifiers is fantastic and we are looking forward to seeing more from him in the upcoming weeks. Erminjamak wasn’t able to stand up to the Serbian player in the quarterfinals, while mickey_rrrox beat Luka in the same side of the bracket. amke2001 had a great showing against Nidjo and esad1memic won the derby versus arminho0307.

We had two national duels in the semifinals. The Serbian players, brstimir, and mickey_rrrox clashed in the first semi, while amke and esad1memic fought for a spot in the final match in the second semi. amke2001 upset last season’s champion while brstimir breezed to the finals against mickey without much trouble. esad1memic finished third and brstimir once again took the first place and now stands tall with 200 points behind his name.

CS:GO

No open qualifiers were played this week. The eight best teams from the first duo of qualifiers met each other in the single-elimination playoffs. The Croatian majority mix, Krsko, managed to eliminate the former QSKE Gaming squad in the quarterfinals of the tournament. MiKS bested BUDI2 in the second match while Shock Bomb were better than peek me. FREE KILL couldn’t stand up to the Macedonian squad led by Kristijan “kiLLeRa” Kukovski.

Krsko and GODZ1337 secured their spots in the League with two convincing victories in the semifinals. Shock Bomb and MiKS were left to battle it out in the third-place decider. The Kosovar mix didn’t stand a chance versus Luka “c0llins” Živanović and Shock Bomb and we will have the chance to watch this talented squad compete once again in the sixth season of the League.

The first week of qualifiers has come to an end!

August 10, 2020/0 Comments/in Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, CS:GO, FIFA /by ElGancho

With CS:GO and FIFA finishing during the weekend, three of the four titles reached the end of the first set of qualifiers for the upcoming A1 Adria League season.

Brawl Stars

Over 80 teams signed up for the first Brawl Stars qualifiers. We saw familiar names in the Round of 16 with the Good Game Gold and Red teams securing a spot in the quarterfinals, while ULC eSports couldn’t outplay Never Surrender. FA Deadly were the better team in their match versus YouLose and Blue Whales managed to beat Old School.

Code Lyoko and FA Deadly couldn’t get past GG Gold and O9 Gang, respectively. ToDe05 and GG Red breezed past Blue Whales and MysteryWarriors secured the last spot in the semifinals. After two intense matches in the semis, both of Good Game’s teams advanced to the finals. A 3-1 victory for the Serbian side earned GG Red their first 100 points in the road to the playoffs.

Clash Royale’s only qualifier unfortunately got delayed because of problems inside the game. The qualifier will continue next Friday on the FACEIT platform.

FIFA

We had the chance to see familiar names in the first FIFA qualifier. Last season’s champion, esad1memic, convincingly secured his spot in the finals. JasikFifa and Harun met each other in the Round of 16 with the latter proceeding to the quarters. An interesting matchup happened between brstimir and amke2001 where the Serbian player managed to beat amke and enter the semifinal match versus Harun.

Even after a convincing win in his match against Aleksandar Djuric, Persunipzs wasn’t able to match up to esad1memic and ended the first qualifier in the fourth place. Harun had to play the third-place decider after a loss to brstimir who even beat the reigning champion, esad1memic, and won the first FIFA qualifier.

CS:GO

The first pair of open CS:GO qualifiers took place during the weekend. The best eight teams from this pair of qualifiers advanced to the closed qualifier that will take place during the next weekend. Three out of the eight participating teams will secure a spot in the sixth season of A1 Adria League, and the cycle will repeat for the next pair of qualifiers.

On Saturday we saw Karlo “KukaOG” Kukovec and peek me reach new heights and qualify for the closed qualifier. QSKE Gaming and Shock Bomb are now a step closer to the League after dominant victories against FREE KILL and Lemonsqueazy and the last team that secured a spot in the upcoming qualifier is Jan “jkXy” Konečnik’s Krsko squad.

After missing out on the first qualifier, Kristijan “kiLLeRa” Kukovski and GODZ1337 had no problems advancing to the closed qualifier. The Kosovar MiKS squad featuring names like vAloN and HYPER1 along with BUDI2 also entered the race for the three spots in the League. FREE KILL were the last team to end this qualifier victorious as they bested Wait Wait Wait on Inferno and Dust2 without any difficulties.
