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

Reboot InfoGamer powered by A1, the largest gaming event in the Adria region for more than a decade, is coming back to Zagrebacki Velesajam. And the LAN finale of the A1 Adria League is once again a part of the event. Champions of the 14th A1AL season will be crowned from 14th to 17th November in Brawl Stars, EAFC, FC Mobile, and of course CS2. Get ready for four days filled with panel discussions, exciting esports tournaments, various gaming activities, and many more. 

Best EAFC players attending the S14 LAN event

This season the competition has been stronger than ever in each and every game featured in the A1AL. One of the firsts to secure LAN and the top four were FC Mobile players. These players will attend the event and compete for the prize:

  • Somzi – the first to secure a semi-final spot with a dominant 3:0 victory.
  • Shaq – a two-time A1 Adria League champion, who triumphed over his opponents despite a challenging series against Jaha.
  • Nikolas – a globally recognized H2H player, who claimed his LAN spot after a fierce six-match duel against Havertz.
  • Lazar – who staged a remarkable comeback, winning three consecutive matches with an impressive 11 goals scored and only one conceded.

Beside this football game, as you know we hosted EAFC24/25 as well. Many familiar names competed and the finale will be explosive as these four players battle it out:

  • Brstimir – finished at the top of the group stage with an unbeaten record, scoring 20 goals and conceding just six.
  • Hara – known as the “king of extra time,” secured his place with clutch performances and solid wins over top opponents.
  • Gruby – demonstrated consistency with high-scoring games, securing his spot with standout performances from players like Mbappe and Kvarachelia.
  • Teo – clinched his LAN spot with a thrilling comeback, showcasing resilience and skill, especially in his final match against Mišić

Best CS2, and BS teams going to Zagreb

The A1 Adria League CS2 competition is set for an exciting LAN finale, with Juggernauts, Zero Tenacity, ENTiTY (ex 0to100), and GOTxSIGNALNET emerging as the top four teams. As we know Z10 is the reigning champions and they are ready to defend the title. Soon we will see if this will be possible considering the high level of performance other qualified teams showed. Needless to say, a spectacle is awaiting anyone at LAN.

Furthermore, Brawl Stars finals are set, with Frutas, the title defender, leading the lineup after dominating Fantastic eSports in a thrilling group-stage clash. Fantastic eSports bounced back by defeating La Masia 3:0 to secure their LAN spot. Delulu joined the top four with a comeback win over Team Cherry but couldn’t attend the LAN, so FBI will take their place. Lastly, Gospodin Adry claimed the final LAN spot after overcoming Cherry in an intense match. These teams will face off in Zagreb for the championship title.

Redline emerged as the A1AL PUBG champions

After four days and 20 intense maps, Redline emerged as the A1 Adria League PUBG champions, dominating from the second day and steadily widening their lead. The fight for the remaining prize spots stayed fierce until the last match, where CrashZ secured second place with critical points over Idemo Batonga, who settled for third. No Pressure, led by top fragger Beami, claimed the final prize position after an impressive last-day performance. Meanwhile, early leaders Sniip and QWEZ fell short, unable to maintain their momentum through the closing rounds.

Final standings:

  1. Redline
  2. CrashZ
  3. Idemo Batonga
  4. No Pressure

Season 14 of A1AL is here with the biggest prize pool ever!

If you thought you had to wait a long time for season 14 of A1AL, you were wrong. After just a month, and after crowning the best in the 13th season, we are continuing our journey and inviting you to compete again! The 14th season is bringing a lot of action, more games, and a whopping prize pool.

Compete with the best at the Reboot event in Zagreb!

Just like in the previous season, the A1 Adria League 14th season will feature CS2, EAFC, EAFC Mobile, and Brawl Stars. We will also host competitions in PUBG, LoL, Tekken, and a Student eChallenge tournament. But more on that later. The two biggest differences from the previous season are the enormous prize pool we offer the best competitors and the LAN event which will crown the winner. The best four teams from BS and CS2, and the best four players in EAFC and EAFC Mobile will compete in the grand finale at the Reboot InfoGamer event in Zagreb in November this year!

The competition will be fierce considering that we have thrice as big a prize pool as in the previous season. The best players in our games will share a whopping 26,900 euros! The CS2 competition now has a 14,000 euro prize pool as our biggest and most popular competition in the league.

Season 14 format explained

We won’t be changing much when it comes to format in season 14. CS2 players will have to go through three qualifiers to earn their place in the top eight. However, unlike the previous season, this time only six teams will make it through the cups, while the remaining two will be invited. After that, it’s a double elimination bracket in the SWISS stage. And as I said the best four go to Zagreb for a grand finale and a fierce fight.

EAFC and EAFC24 Mobile games will have the same format. Starting with four qualifiers cups where 16 players will advance to group stage. The group stage consists of four groups of four players. There the winner of each group goes to the finals to compete for a 3,500 prize pool.

Our Brawlers will also be able to enjoy four qualifiers, followed by a SWISS group stage. It will be a double elimination bracket consisting of Bo5 and Bo3 matches. So plenty of action and excitement awaits. That will culminate at the Reboot event where the best four teams will fight for the throne.

As I previously mentioned PUBG is back! The competition is scheduled for October and November starting with two qualifiers. After that, the playoff stage commences, and in the finals, we will watch a fierce fight where the best four teams will share the prize.

The first qualifiers are scheduled for the second week of September, so stay tuned for more information and how to sign up! Don’t forget to follow our social media accounts on Facebook, X, TikTok, and Instagram, and watch our streams on YouTube and Twitch.
