Clash of Leagues draws to a close; SK Gaming claim the crown!

/0 Comments/in , /by

After two convincing victories in the LAN stage of the tournament, the world’s top team, SK Gaming, has won €2,000 and the Clash of Leagues champions title.

It has certainly been a wild ride since the announcement of the Clash of Leagues was revealed two months ago. The €5,000-worth tournament brought together teams from 15 European countries and from five of Europe’s most prestigious esports leagues. Among them, two Adriatic teams set on a journey to reach the LAN finals and represent the region on the European scene. First, Omerta, our newly-appointed team after the combining of Noble Elite Red and BLK, played the group stage. They had their moments but didn’t prove good enough against the fierce competition that also competed during the seven playdays.

Noble Elite were next in line. Despite losing their semifinal match against BIG, DzonDzon & co. bounced back in the lower bracket and secured one of the four LAN spots along with SK Gaming, BIG, and Chernobyl Dribblers. All four teams traveled to Salzburg to clash one final time and decide who is the undisputed Brawl Stars champion of Central & East Europe. Noble Elite and SK Gaming played against each other in the first semifinal. Despite having a good recent form, the new Clash of Leagues champions were too big of a challenge for the regional team. Noble Elite ended the single-elimination bracket with a 0-3 loss. Next up were BIG and Chernobyl Dribblers, a match that saw the former advance ahead to make for an all-German final.

And what a final it was. Until the very last second, both teams stood equal in the arena and we witnessed a clash of epic proportions. In the end, however, only one team could lift the winner’s trophy and this time, that team was SK Gaming. Symantic, SkYRiiKZz, and Jeton are the Clash of Leagues champions. Congratulations to SK Gaming, all other teams and players, and everyone included in the Clash of Leagues.

Clash of Leagues’ €5,000 prize pool was split in the following manner:

1. SK Gaming – €2,000
2. BIG – €1,000
3-4. Chernobyl Dribblers – €500
3-4.hrrs Noble Elite – €500

The Brawl Stars action is over now, but not for long. Next Thursday, a new A1 Adria League season of Brawl Stars starts with six open qualifiers. Sign up and who knows, you may very well become the next regional champion!

The time has come – can Noble Elite conquer Europe on LAN?

Before the beginning of Noble Elite’s match versus SK Gaming, we asked DzonDzon a couple of questions about their upcoming LAN tournament.

After many days of intense Brawl Stars action, the day has come. Today we will see who is the Brawl Stars champion of Central & Eastern Europe. Clash of Leagues has let teams from all over the region compete for their share of the €5,000 prize pool. Five champions and five runners-up in five European leagues were invited to join the final and group stages of the Clash of Leagues, respectively. The second-placed squads along with three qualified sides played a group stage and the best three of them advanced through to the playoffs. Here, Noble Elite fought fiercely and succeeded in qualifying for the Salzburg LAN where they are facing SK Gaming today.

How have your preparations for the Clash of Leagues been going? Are you ready to take on some of Europe’s best teams?

The preparations have been going great so far, we had a lot of scrims, prepared everything and I think that we are ready to crush the biggest teams in Europe.

How satisfied are you by the results in your played matches so far?

I honestly can’t complain because we qualified after all, but I had some technical problems with my connection because I was on vacation and because of that, I had a delay. Thankfully, I had my team to carry me to victory.

How is the atmosphere in the team before the beginning of this major Brawl Stars LAN?

The atmosphere is really great, especially because this is the first LAN tournament for Adri and Andrey, and it even is in another country. They will have a chance to meet the best European players, so as I said, the atmosphere is excellent.

Who do you think will reach the grand finals in the other matchup?

I am convinced that it is going to be BIG. The guys are on fire since Eqwaak arrived and I am happy for them as we are really good friends with them.

What are your chances against SK Gaming? How hard will it be to upset such a big name?

Of course, it will be really hard against SK Gaming, they aren’t just the best European team, but the number one team in the world as well. But this is a LAN, a lot of cameras, a lot of people, and the pressure is much bigger than when playing at home. So I think, this is the right moment to crush SK Gaming.

 

 

As has been the case during the entire tournament, you can watch the culmination of the Clash of Leagues on our official channels (YouTube, Twitch, Trovo, Facebook). SupremeNexus will be casting the final matches of the league, and together, we will all cheer for Noble Elite.

Can Noble Elite defeat the favorites in the Clash of Leagues semifinals?

After securing a spot for the LAN finals in Salzburg, Noble Elite are now getting ready for their match against SK Gaming.

SK Gaming is a German Brawl Stars squad that is on the very top of the international scene. Time and time again they have shown their quality and now they are standing between the A1 Adria League team Noble Elite and the grand finals of Clash of Leagues. Before qualifying for the LAN tournament, SK Gaming went undefeated in the first playday of the final Clash of Leagues stage. They 3-0’d their opponents in both matches, first Bulgarian Pros and then PLATOON.

The two teams will play on the 21st of August, with their match starting at 14:30 CEST. Noble Elite have a tough task ahead of them. The combination of players from both Noble Elite Red and BLK has a chance of winning, but SK Gaming are still considered the favorites of this matchup. The other semifinal is between BIG and the Bulgarian team, Chernobyl Dribblers. After that match comes to an end, both of the winners will play for the main prize of €2,000. The second-placed team will win €1,000, while an additional €1,000 will be split between the 3rd-4th teams.

Our regional Brawl Stars players have successfully overcome their first challenge in the playoffs and are now slowly preparing for the top 4 Clash of Leagues LAN finals.

Yesterday we announced the quarterfinal matchups of the Clash of Leagues. The whole day was filled with Brawl Stars action and we were eagerly watching to see which four teams will make it to the final stages of the €5.000 worth tournament. While every single team participating in the playoffs deserved to go to LAN, only four of them could really do it.

First up were SK Gaming and Bulgarian Pros. The Bulgarian team that squeezed past in the group stage was no match for the German powerhouse that is one of the most prestigious teams in Europe. Right after that, we watched Crystal Gaming play against the team that is representing the Adriatic region in the Clash of Leagues playoffs – Noble Elite BLK. Lavvek & co. had an amazing performance, 3-0’d their opponents, and advanced to the second round of the upper bracket where they lost to BIG. They then matched versus Bulgarian Pros and played a five-set nail-biter that saw the regional players finally defeat their opponents in the final set.

While Bulgarian Pros couldn’t do it, the other Bulgarian team in the league, Chernobyl Dribblers, became one of the qualified squads. After an initial loss against BIG, Chernobyl Dribblers made their way to the LAN finals by defeating Crystal Gaming Red and Platoon in the lower bracket. BIG and SK Gaming both qualified from the upper bracket, defeating Noble Elite BLK and Platoon, respectively, in the process.

The entire day action-packed day of Brawl Stars can be (re)watched down below:

After an intense three-week group stage, Clash of Leagues has finally reached the final stage of the tournament.

Eight teams will try to go through the single-elimination bracket and secure their spot in the €5,000 final that will be played on LAN. Five winners from the five European leagues that are part of Clash of Leagues were directly promoted to this stage, while another three had to fight in the group stage to reach this level. One of the teams playing in the group stage were Omerta, but they were unable to successfully qualify for the finals.

BIG, Crystal Gaming Red, and Bulgarian Pros are the three squads that will face off against the veterans to decide who goes to the LAN tournament. Bulgarian Pros are set to clash against SK Gaming in their very first match. Crystal Gaming Red will play against Noble Elite, the superteam made out of players from both Noble Elite Red and BLK, and they will be representing the A1 Adria League. We will watch BIG and Chernobyl Dribblers battle it out, and last, but not least, Platoon and Swisscom Knights have a quarterfinal match in their schedules.

It is only going to get more intense from now on. You can watch the action and support Noble Elite on our official streaming channels (YouTube, Twitch, Trovo, Facebook).

Omerta set to begin their Clash of Leagues journey!

In the opening matches of Clash of League’s group stage, one of the teams that represent the region, Omerta, will face their first opponents.

After some of Noble Elite’s players were deemed ineligible to play due to not fulfilling the age requirement for the international Brawl Stars tournament, the two NE squads merged their rosters and will play the Clash of Leagues with only one team. Omerta were called in to replace the ineligible Noble Elite roster and they are supposed to start their journey today.

Their first opponents are BIG. The organization which features a majority-German roster is a force to be reckoned with and Omerta will have to show their A-game in order to beat the German powerhouse. Lars, NeeDeeN, and Eqwaak are a scary trio of talented Brawl Stars players that are set to reach the very final stages of the tournament. On the other side, Omerta have impressed everyone in the region in recent months, and with two high-quality teams set to battle it out in the first round of the groups, we are excited to begin this tournament.

Make sure to follow and support Omerta tonight at 6 o’clock:

During the previous weekend, teams from all countries of the CEE region competed in the international qualifiers for a spot in the Clash of Leagues. Only three teams were needed to fill the spots and play with the best teams of Central & Eastern Europe, and we got them. Namely, the German scene had a particularly great event with great success in the qualifiers. When it comes to the regional teams, a number of them competed in the qualifiers with and achieved good results, but unfortunately, it was not enough.

Immortal Balkan Blue and Black were some of those teams. neca’s geng and Talibani s baustele represtented the region as well. The fourth-placed team of the seventh A1 Adria League season, Mayoi, had a great run in the lower bracket, but couldn’t go all the way and was only two wins shy of qualifying for the tournament. Immortal Balkans Black played in the final winners round, lost, and were sent to the lower bracket. There, they lost to Talibani s bauštele, who were powerless against FreeWin. The teams that qualified in the upper bracket were KMRGMR and OKA Gaming.

Clash of Leagues

A1 is hosting an international Brawl Stars league that will take place from July up until August and will feature the best teams from 15 European countries.

Clash of Leagues will cover Central and East Europe and will include participants from five regional leagues as well as teams that qualify from the international qualifiers. A1 Adria League‘s winners, Noble Elite BLK secured a direct spot in the finals and besides them, the winners of four other leagues in this region will have a spot in the final stage of the league. Those leagues are the A1 Esports League, A1 Gaming League, VOKA League, and Swisscom Hero League.

These five leagues cover a territory with more than 140 million citizens, so we are expecting a huge turnout for the Clash of Leagues. While the winners are going to the finals, the second-placed sides will have to fight for their respective spots in the group stage. Five second-placed teams will be joined by three teams from the international qualifiers in an epic group stage which will secure three spots in the final phase.

Clash of Leagues Format

The CEE region had produced and keeps producing priceless Brawl Stars talent. On July 24th, these players and teams will have a chance of a lifetime to qualify for the Clash of Leagues and show their skills on the international Brawl Stars scene. When the three qualified sides are decided, we will watch a three-week-long journey to the final stage of the league. Besides the countries of the Adria region, teams from Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland will be eligible to participate in the qualifiers as well.

It has been a great year for Brawl Stars so far. The esports scene of Supercell’s arena brawler has seen many great tournaments, in the region as well as worldwide. After the success of seasons 5 & 6, A1 Adria League’s seventh season saw weeks of action-packed Brawl Stars matches between the best teams in the region. Everything culminated this Wednesday during the playoffs when Noble Elite BLK outplayed their opponents and were crowned champions of the region. We will watch them, as well as this season’s runner-ups (Noble Elite Red) in the Clash of Leagues.

Registration for the qualifiers will open on July 5th. More information about the format of the league as well as the international qualifiers will be available in the coming weeks.
