After several rounds of qualifiers and playoffs, our A1 Adria League Weekly tournament in Counter-Strike 2 is over. Our new champions and the only invited team, Entity, managed to keep their composure through the playoffs and beat the challengers over the weekend, securing the title and a €1,500 prize. But how did it all go down?

Last week we’ve talked about the intense qualifiers and the great games from the likes of Sangrija, PIG5 and ronin5 that allowed them to compete in the playoffs with Entity, our invited team. The weekend began with a direct elimination match in the lower bracket between Ronin5 and PIG5, in which Ronin5 won two matches and kicked PIG5 out of the tournament. In the upper bracket, Sangrija met Entity and put up a great fight but ultimately lost to Entity in both matches. The first map, Ancient, was close with a final score of 13:11 for Entity, but Sangrija performed much worse on Dust and lost 13:3, dropping into the lower bracket and allowing Entity to wait patiently in the grand finals.

In the lower bracket, Sangrija met Ronin5 after both teams lost to Entity on day one, making for an interesting clash. The first map, Ancient, went to overtime and was eventually won by Ronin5 with 16:13. However, Sangrija completed a reverse sweep and won on both Train (13:3) and Dust (13:2), qualifying for the final on Sunday where they were up against Entity, a team that beat them 2:0 just a day before.

In the end, Entity proved to be an obstacle that Sangrija could not get over. In the grand final, Entity had a one map advantage, but the first map was won by Sangrija, and the bracket was reset. On Inferno, Entity put up a dominant performance and won 13:3 only to lose to Sangrija on Dust 2. The Dust 2 match was one of the closest of the playoffs, going to Sangrija in the end after a 13:10 win.

This all meant that there’s a big decider match ahead, played on Anubis. After a tied first half (6:6), Entity found their rhythm and won the map 13:6, securing the number one spot after the playoffs.

 The conclusion of the CS2 Weekly brings us closer to the finish of our Weekly cups, with just the EA FC Mobile matches left before our summer break. Make sure to follow the action and prepare for the fall season!

CS2 qualifiers done: sangrija, ronin5, and pig5 to playoffs

We are done with the CS2 qualifiers for the A1 Adria League Weekly! 

In an action-packed weekend behind us, we watched three rounds of qualifiers for one of the most popular esports tournaments in the region, the A1 Adria League CS2 competition. We saw dozens of teams enter and compete during the qualifiers, but there was room for just one team in each qualifier round. In the end, three teams will join us in the playoffs: Sangrija, Ronin5, and PIG5. ENTiTY, our directly invited team, is already waiting in the bracket. 

An impressive number of teams applied for the first qualifier round, 40. This made the bracket very fast-paced and full of surprises, and also led to some of the favourites getting knocked out early in the first day, such as Ronin5 adn Pig5, together with SuperiorEsports and Diamant. With some of the more stacked rosters out of the way, Sangrija managed to make their way to the grand final, where they beat The Secret Club with a victory in overtime and a very close 13-11 win on Mirage. 

The second day of qualifiers saw Ronin5 come back around and put on a great performance after a sluggish first day. However, their path to the final included a win in double overtime against Neighbors and arguably easier games against Loodnica and CTRAXA_NET. In the finals, they faced Registry, where they won on Nuke, lost on Anubis and narrowly won on Dust2 with a 13-11 score at the end. Our admins and casters praised Ronin5 AWPer Georgiii, who was the key player for the qualifier victory.

With only one day and one spot left, the last round of qualifiers was nail-biting, exciting for some and disappointing for others. Day 1 finalists The Secret Club were eliminated by X Team early in the day, who were themselves beaten by eventual winners PIG5. The finals saw Superior Esports face PIG5, and Superior won the first map relatively easily. PIG5 regrouped and managed to tie the series in the second map. The team went on to win the third map and secure a spot in the playoffs. 

The three teams will now  have just a couple of days to practice and polish their skills before they compete in the playoff bracket over the weekend for a chance to earn up to €1,500 from a total prize pool of €3,000.
