/0 Comments/in , , /by

The first matches of the A1 Adria League in 2025 were finally played over the weekend. The first three qualifiers saw the top 8 players advance to the playoff stage of the EA FC Mobile tournament, and we’re here to tell you all about it. 

Day 1: Mad start to the competition

The first day of the Weekly tournaments and EA FC games provided quite a bit in terms of excitement and surprises. For a start, we saw two newcomers Ekii7 and ANDROVSKI_MKD get into the top 8 players on their first appearance in the competition. The winner of the weekly was the well-known regional layer Somzi, beating Nikolas7 in the finals. However, the true drama came our way in the third-place decider match between Ogiii and SPK_Hamdija. Ogiii won the first match 4:1, and Hamdija missed a penalty in the 82nd minute of the second match but scored one in extra time, thus opening the decider match. However, the third game ended with the result at 1:1, and the replay (played with the golden goal mode) had zero goals. In the fifth (and final) match, Ogiii scored the golden goal in the 15th minute and secured the third spot in the Weekly. 

Day 2: Solid performances without big surprises

In the second day of competition, we did not see blockbuster games similar to day 1, but it should be noted that lazar0001, the second-placed player from the 14th season of the A1 Adria League, won the second qualifier after beating two-time (S12 and S13) champion FE_shaq. 

Day 3: third time a charm for TaleTopG

The third and final day of qualifiers saw the players continue collecting points for the playoffs and hard work paying off for TaleTopG. Despite not finishing in the top three in the first two qualifiers, TaleTopG managed to win the third round by beating HRD_Gale in the finals. Interestingly, TaleTopG managed to grab the first place in the overall rankings despite finishing with just a total of 60 points in the first two rounds. Winning the third round secured him first place with a total of 240 points. 

The eight top players will now prepare for the playoffs that are coming our way on Easter Sunday, April 20th. TaleTopG, shaq, Čola56 and Nikolas7 will compete in Group A, while Somzi, Lazar, Ggaleee and Ogiii will start their playoff journey in Group B. The total prize pool for EA FC Mobile is 800€, with 400 going to the best player, 250€ going to the second-place and the third-place player winning €150. 

 

Make sure you follow the action over the weekend, and remember: there is one more round of EA FC Mobile coming our way in June! 

What A1AL pros play in their free time

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Esports as an industry can be very demanding and pro players spend every second of their time improving and mastering their game. However, beneath the surface of intense training, some players like to unwind and relax with a different game. We asked our A1 Adria League participants if they play a game in other genres, which games they play, and why. Read on to learn more about some of A1AL’s competitors in Brawl Stars, CS2, EAFC, and FC Mobile.

Somzi and Nikolas talk about their FC Mobile’s nostalgic beginnings

Two of our best players in the 14th A1 Adria League season after the qualifiers are Nikola “Nikolas7” Seočanac and Miša “SPK_somzi” Todorović. I sat down with them and we talked about the importance of FIFA for both of these players.

I’m currently competing in EA FC Mobile, a game I discovered about five years ago. I was most impressed by the concept of the game, as well as the community where I met many good players with whom I played many nice matches in various tournaments. The biggest advantage of this game is that I can play anywhere using only my phone.

Apart from EA FC Mobile, I spent a lot of time playing CS 1.6 and CS: GO, where one of my favorite moments was when we won the gaming room for our faculty. I am also a big fan of sports games such as Football Manager, NBA, PES, and EA FC. One interesting thing is that I still remember part of the CD-KEY for FIFA 2004, said Somzi from Spartak Subotica eSport.

Nikolas7 also shared a part of his humble beginnings and a lot of us can relate to his experience.

It simply had to be a football game! I’ve been a fan of football pictures ever since I was little, and I spent every penny on opening bags looking for toothy Ronaldo, as we called him at the time, to finally finish the album. After that, we would all go and play football together outside, trade duplicate cards while being all muddy. The reflection of these childhood memories I saw in EA FC games, but of course now there is little time for the platform so we play the mobile version wherever we go.

However, ideally, it still reminds of collecting your favorite cards by creating your unique dream team and competing with others, and making new friendships along the way. Finally, I would like to wish all the participants of the top 16 phase good luck and encourage new ones to join next season as well, said this Youtuber, A1AL player and ex caster.

Nemanja Misko dedicated to the A1AL

Another football game in our arsenal is of course EAFC which has been featured in the A1AL since the fifth season. And so far one of the best, who finished first in the qualifiers, is Nemanja “Nemanja_Misko” Mišić. He told me that he only plays EAFC and that the A1 Adria League encourages him to do so even more.

I started playing FIFA from a young age. I was 7 years old. My dad bought me my first FIFA and from then on I had a desire to win tournaments and competitions. A few years ago, I started playing this game seriously and competitively, and the first serious tournament was the A1 Adria League. I have a clear goal in front of me and I fantasize and dream about becoming the best in the world one day.

There were a lot of difficult moments and losses, but if I’ve learned something in life, it’s that you should never give up and always push on and give your best. I would like to one day lift the A1 Adria league cup and in the future continue to play the best I can and achieve all my dreams and goals.

CS2 and BS pro players share their gaming focus

Apart from EAFC, a CS2 player and a member of team Kubix Atif “gejmzilla” Mustafa also gave his short comment on what he does in his free time.

I only play Sid Meier’s Civilization VI apart from CS. I like the game a lot and it helps me take a break from CS from time to time – short and direct from gejmzilla!

Furthermore, I wanted to know what Nikola “DzonDzon” Brajković, one of the most successful Brawl Stars players in A1AL, plays and his view on this. As you know, Frutas has been dominating the regional scene for quite a few years, and they don’t look like they are anywhere near the end. So when DzonDzon told me he is dedicated only to Brawl Stars I wasn’t surprised.

Most of the time I only play Brawl Stars because to be the best and among the best, you have to be active and dedicated to only one thing, so I don’t really have time to play anything besides that. I’m not a big fan of games in general, but Brawl Stars offered something that I hadn’t had the chance to play on a tablet before, said our seven time A1AL winner.
