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.
