The end of the final CS:GO playday marked the end of yet another A1 Adria League season as well as the second Reboot Online Games Week.

Reboot Online Games Week once again offered over 150 hours of gaming-related content to fans all around the region. From My Story and Panel to the live streams and the A1 Adria League finals, we couldn’t really ask for more during the last week. Wednesday was dedicated to the Brawl Stars teams, FIFA’s players entered the stadiums on Thursday and Friday, and League of Legends completed its comeback on Saturday. Sunday was the climax of a two-month-long CS:GO journey, as well as the end of this, seventh, iteration of the League.

Brawl Stars

Our Brawlers clashed on Wednesday. Noble Elite BLK and Point Gaming (ex-Lil Surprise) entered the arena first as the first semifinal match started. BLK’s victory sent Point Gaming to the lower bracket and they were later joined by Mayoi, who couldn’t defeat Noble Elite Red. The elimination match saw Mayoi lose to the aforementioned opponents, while the upper-bracket finals ended with a Noble Elite BLK win. The losers of this match, Red, bounced back against Point Gaming and returned to the finals, only to be defeated once again by the organization’s BLK team.

The top four Brawl Stars teams:

1. rs Noble Elite BLK – 900€
2. hr Noble Elite Red – 600€
3. hr Point Gaming – 300€

FIFA21

Miloš “brstimir” Majdevac, Tarik “amke2001” Novo, Filip “FIFAFICO” Babić and Esad “NKOS_esad1memic” Memić played took part in the playoffs which featured a double-elimination bracket.

League of Legends

Before that match took place though, Harmony and Fiko Izdaja went at it in the lower bracket finals. There, Harmony outplayed their opponents and secured a rematch against Split Raiders.

Two matches separate us from crowning the A1 Adria League of Legends champions for the first time since the second season of the league!

Fiko Izdaja vs. Harmony

The two teams will face each other in the lower bracket finals to decide the second finalist of the League. The Macedonian team Harmony fell into the lower bracket after suffering a defeat against Split Raiders who are now waiting for their opponents in the final. Since then, they managed to outplay QSKE Gaming and Harmony, and now their last opponent is Fiko Izdaja. On the other hand, Fiko Izdaja had a great run in the regional playoffs, but they also couldn’t get past Split Raiders. The first match of the day starts at 14 o’clock, right after the game preshow comes to an end.

Saturday – 14:00:
 Harmony vs. hr Fiko Izdaja

Split Raiders vs. Harmony/ Fiko Izdaja

Split Raiders have been absolutely unstoppable this entire season. During the Croatian qualifiers, they didn’t lose a single map, let alone a match and now they have been showing even more of their qualities. Once again, they passed the rest of the matches undefeated, but at the very least, Harmony succeeded in winning a map against them this time. Will someone take down the favorites or will they reign supreme in the finals as well? Tune in to find out!

Another day of the Regional Playoffs stage is now behind us, with Fiko Izdaja and Split Raiders advancing further in the upper bracket!

Four matches were on the menu today – two in the upper and two in the lower half of the bracket. Mental Boomers met Fiko Izdaja in the second round of the winners’ bracket, but they weren’t able to do anything to harm their opponents. Fiko Izdaja held their ground and secured a 2-0 win in this League of Legends match.

In the first match of the lower bracket, Placeholder managed to eliminate Fantastic Esports. Next week, we will watch a match between Placeholder and the losers of the Fiko Izdaja – Mental Boomers match, Mental Boomers. The other upper bracket match finished in favor of Split Raiders, who defeated the Macedonian team Harmony 2-1 after an intense match. Meanwhile, QSKE got a default win in the match against Brotagonists1g.

In the first playday of the regional League of Legends playoffs for this season, the eight teams participating played their first matches in this double-elimination bracket.

A total of four matches were played out this Saturday. Harmony were able to overcome Fantastic Esports in the only BO3 that went to all three games today. It was an intense matchup that saw the Croatian Fantastic Esports give their best, but their opponents were dedicated to taking the win – and they did. The other Macedonian team wasn’t victorious. Mental Boomers managed to past Brotagonists1g and secure a spot in the next winners’ bracket round, while Brotagonists1g will fight for survival against QSKE Gaming.

Since we mentioned QSKE, let’s talk about their match today. After a great group stage, they came up versus Fiko Izdaja in their first match in the Regional Playoffs. QSKE Gaming’s Serbian squad was unable to compete with Fiko Izdaja and lost that game 0-2. Split Raiders and Placeholder are the two teams that round up the playoffs team list. Their match ended up with a victory for the former, who are now set up to play Harmony next Saturday

With this League of Legends day concluding, we now know the names of the eight teams that managed to qualify for the next stage of the A1 Adria League.

Croatia

Three Croatian teams will continue their journey to the Regional Playoffs. Split Raiders advanced through the National Playoffs stage undefeated and beat Fantastic Esports 2-0 in the Grand Finals after Fantastic forfeited their previous duel. Before the final match started, Fiko Izdaja was defeated by Fantastic, but since they already won their fair share of matches, they will also play in the next stage.

Serbia

An action-packed BO3 in the Serbian finals saw QSKE Gaming outplay Mental Boomers and secure the first place in this National Playoff. Just like Split Raiders in Croatia, QSKE didn’t suffer a single loss on their way to the Regional Playoffs. Mental Boomers, on the other hand, fough through the lower bracket and defeated Placeholder in the LB finals.

Just like Croatia, Serbia will also boast three teams in the next stage – QSKE Gaming, Mental Boomers, and Placeholder.

Macedonia

The remaining two teams that will join the Regional Playoffs come from the Macedonian group. They are Harmony and Brotagonists1g – two squads that showed their quality since the very beginning of the double-elimination bracket. With these two additions, the team list is completed.

The three countries participating in this stage of the League of Legends A1 Adria League continue playing their brackets in the National Playoffs stage.

Croatia

Fiko Izdaja had a great second League of Legends playday in the Croatian playoffs. They eliminated not one, but two teams in the lower part of the bracket and secured themselves a spot in the lower bracket finals against Fantastic Esports. The teams that they eliminated were RainDrop (2-1) and BL Gaming (2-0). Meanwhile, Split Raiders are currently waiting in the Grand Finals and their great form isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Macedonia

Two matches marked the end of the second playday for Macedonia as well. FunTeam and Cult were the first ones to clash, with the former taking the win without losing a single round. After Cult, Brotagonists1g were ready to eliminate their Macedonian rivals but failed to succeed in their task. Instead, FunTeam got another 2:0 win, putting them in the lower bracket finals against Reborn Esports.

Serbia

Serbia had a much more active playday than the rest of the countries. A total of four matches saw interesting changes in the bracket for all the teams participating and QSKE is currently having the best chances of entering the playoffs. Mental Boomers had the best success after QSKE, as they won two matches – one against SuppDiff (2-1) and one against OnlyFans (2-0). Currently, Placeholder and Mental Boomers are scheduled to play in the lower bracket finals for next week.

 

The first League of Legends playday is over!

League of Legends is BACK! On the first playday we watched teams from Croatia, Serbia, and Macedonia battle it out in their respective groups to become a part of the Regional Playoffs.

Croatia

Split Raiders dominantly breezed past Zahmeljeni in the first Croatian round. RainDrop dropped two wins versus BL Gaming, while Fantastic Esports outplayed Intensity eSports 2-1. The second round of the upper bracket ended after just one match as Reroot forfeited their match against Fantastic. The only match saw Split Raiders sent RainDrop to the lower portion of the bracket.

While the teams played the second round, the lower bracket was going through its first one. BL Gaming were able to 2-0 and eliminate Zahmeljeni, and in the other match, Fiko Izdaja bested Intensity eSports in a great three-game duel.

Macedonia

In the Macedonian National Playoffs, the double-elimination bracket saw an interesting Day 1 filled with intense League of Legends action. Brotagonists1g managed to beat Cult, while Harmony advanced to the second winners’ bracket round over Shelco Esports. The other two teams that made the second round were FunTeam and Reborn Esports. In the lower bracket, Cult directly advanced to Round 2, while Dragon Force got their victory after playing Shelco Esports.

Reborn Esports and Harmony reached the winners’ bracket final after they successfully outplayed Brotagonists1g and FunTeam, respectively. Besides the upper bracket final, FunTeam will face Cult and the Brotagonists will meet Dragon Force next week.

Serbia

QSKE and Placeholder were the most successful teams in the first Serbian League of Legends playday. On the other hand, ConnectnowEsports and Banished Esports were eliminated after suffering two losses in the double-elimination bracket. Sarajevo Five, Supp Diff, Mental Boomers, and OnlyFans are the other four teams that survived the first playday besides QSKE and Placeholder. Mental Boomers will play SuppDiff, while SarajevoFive will try to beat OnlyFans in the lower bracket round 2 which will be played next Saturday.

Due to Riot Games’ rules concerning tournaments of this character, the teams from countries that didn’t field enough teams in the qualifiers had to be excluded from the latter portions of the event. We are actively working to find a way to give these teams a chance in the next season if such a thing happens again!
