SHAQ Archives » A1 Adria League

The second qualifiers are over in Brawl Stars, EAFC24, FC Mobile, and CS2. The 14th A1AL season is more competitive than ever and we never had this many signed-up players, especially in EAFC games. A whopping prize pool is waiting for the best at the end of the road. There isn’t much time to waste as we are already halfway through the qualifiers. Read on to learn who earned points this weekend and which teams secured the spot in the playoffs of the A1 Adria League.

Frutas continues their A1AL domination

Exciting second qualifiers in Brawl Stars. One side of the bracket was very intense, while on the other one, Frutas swiped everyone in their way. Some new teams made it to the top 8 this time and earned their first points. The first intense match was between Team Cherry and FBI, both of which competed in the previous season. FBI already had 5 points from Q1, and now with the win over their opponents, they have 10 and are in third place alongside two other teams.

However, after defeating Team Cherry, the FBI ran into Gospodin Adry. The latter proved to be superior and snatched a 2:1 win advancing to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Delulu made a lot of problems for Gospodin Adry and the series went into all five matches. The victor in the end was Gospodin Adry who secured their first qualifier finals in the A1AL. And who was waiting there… Of course, it was Frutas.

Frutas’ road to finals was pretty straightforward and they dominated the bracket again. The semifinals was a swift 3:0 win against the 76ers, as well as the finals where Frutas took another 20 points defeating Adry 3:1. Furthermore, it would have been 3:0 there as well if Frutas wasn’t trying out some off-meta picks. They now have 40 overall, followed by the 76ers and Gospodin Adry with 25 respectively.

The third qualifier will be played next Friday, September 27th, and you can sign up for it HERE!

SHAQ wins the second FC Mobile qualifiers in the A1AL

FC Mobile is going strong in the A1 Adria League. Even more players signed up for the second qualifiers. Out of 229 players, the best one was our defending champion SHAQ.
Just like in the first qualifier, there were no surprises in the first rounds. Favorites justified their role and advanced further into the competition. Interestingly, none of the top 4 players from the first qualifier (Nikolas7, HugoBOSS, Jaha, and Hrd_Iky) made it far and we didn’t have a chance to watch them on stream. The highest place out of the mentioned four went into the hands of Nikolas7, and even he only got to the TOP 32 where he lost to Alen. The latter was one of the new players who showed great performance. He placed fourth in Q2 and won 50 points.

On the other hand, as expected SHAQ won the most points followed by Skrebo98 from Buducnost with 100 points and Somzi from Spartak with 80 points. However when we take a look at the overall score SHAQ and Nikolas7 are sharing the top spot with 190 points, while HugoBOSS and Skrebo are sharing second place with 100 points.

The third A1AL FC Mobile qualifier will be played on the 28th of September, so don’t miss it. You can sign up for it by clicking on this LINK!

Brstimir emerges victorious and wins 100 points in EAFC

The second qualifier brought us some new players in the EAFC24 competition. Besides them, some familiar names also showed up such as Gruby, TheProdigy from the CLA organization, Hara, brstimir, and many more. Out of almost 45 players, brstimir was the best in this qualifier and he deservedly won maximum points.

The biggest surprise of the qualifier was probably our S10 champion and the winner of the first qualifier, Gruby, who was defeated in the very first round. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any points but with the previous 100 he is still in a very good spot and we will probably see more of him in the group stage.

TheProdigy did much better and managed to get to the quarterfinals but he got eliminated by Fika, who then got defeated by a Bosnian player AmcoS who qualified for the finals. A great performance from AmcoS was seen as he was getting ready to face our A1AL veteran brstimir.

The first match in the finals was a big win for brsitmir. He scored two goals at the start and with a steady performance won the first game with 5 goals in the net. Second game started similarly as brstimir scored two quick goals again before the 11th minute. However, AmcoS wasn’t going to let him win easily and he really tested brstimir’s defense. In the 85th minute of the match, he scored his first goal, and almost evened out the score in the 93rd minute, but hit the bar.

Now, brstimir and Gruby are in the first spot with 100 points, defending champion Marac and AmcoS are second with 70, followed by Nemanja_Misko with 60 points respectively.

If you sign up for the third qualifier and win 100 points, you will most definitely be in the playoffs. Do it HERE!

Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji qualify for the CS group stage

In the first qualifier, the two qualified teams were Oto100 and GOT. Now two more joined the group stage. Diamant Esports and GornjiDonji succeeded in making it to the qualifiers finals and securing participation in the league. But let’s see how their journey went.

Diamant Esports showed outstanding performance in this qualifier. They played the deciding best-of-three match against team Neugodni. The first map went into the hands of Neugodni who won 13:8 on Mirage. After that on the Diamant’s map pick, it was 13:10 for the Diamant, but it wasn’t an easy game at all. Neugodni almost came back and took the game for themselves. However, they couldn’t make it in the end which evened out the score. The deciding map was Dust2 where a similar situation occurred. Diamant dominated the first half when on the wings of Fixedinho, Neugodni returned to the game. But once again it wasn’t good enough and the game ended with the same score 13:10.

GornjiDonji also didn’t have many problems throughout the bracket. The only obstacle on their way should have been Cupava Veverica. However, they ended that match with a superiority and a 13:4 score. In their Bo3 match, GornjiDonji was against MainStack. The latter showed a good performance on Anubis and almost won, but GornjiDonji in the end prevailed and ended the first map with a 13:10 score. If the first match was a real nailbiter, the second one, on Ancient, was completely one-sided. GornjiDonji didn’t let their opponent breathe and demolished them pretty quickly, ending the game with a 13:1 score.

Teams who still haven’t qualified will have the last chance to do so on the 29th of September. CS2 competition only has three qualifiers, and there are only two spots left now. Hurry up and sign up for it HERE!

Most rewarded CS2 competitors in the A1AL

Since CS2 or CS: GO, whichever you prefer, has been our main game since A1AL’s inception, we can start with our best shooters. Firstly, I have got to say that there have been many successful teams over the years that are worth mentioning. As you all remember first two A1AL seasons were won by Valiance, while KlikTech made it to top 4. In those early days, Level Up Esports, Blink, and Team uNIQUE also showed their supremacy. Furthermore, Portugal, iNation, 4glory, and BLUEJAYS were all big regional names that competed in A1AL and secured high spots.

If we fast forward to Season 9 Zero Tenacity starts their reign. Even though that season they placed second, the next three they won without much resistance becoming back to back to back champions. Precisely because Z10 won three consecutive trophies, it’s our most rewarded team ever!

When it comes to the most successful CS2 players Filip “aVN” Belojica and Milos “dEE” Marceta are the most rewarded ones. Former with five and the latter with three, respectfully. Filip won the A1 Adria League twice with Z10, twice with Level Up Esports, and once with ex-BLUEJAYS back in season 4.

FIFA’s unsurpassed and unmatched player

FIFA or EAFC is another game that has been in the A1 Adria League for the majority of the seasons. It was featured in the first season, with a little break, until in the fifth season we brought it back permanently. That year our trio of veterans was born, Tarik Novo (ex Amke), esad1memic, and brstimir. These three players would go on to compete in almost every season up until current. Furthermore, they didn’t just compete in the low stages of the competition, but they almost always managed to get to TOP 8 or TOP 4.

After Esad Memic won that fifth season, where Novo was in third place, the reign of Novo’s terror began. In the sixth season, Novo won his first title, followed by Memic and brstimir in second and third place respectively. This scenario repeated for two more seasons, except that in S7 and S8 brstimir was vice-champion and Memic third place. Novo continued to be dominant and win titles, and at this moment he has six titles!

I also wanted to mention Milos “brstimir” Majdevac, a player who never won the league but managed to win second or third place almost every single season! If we are talking about consistency, brstimir is our guy.

Furthermore, apart from Novo, players worth mentioning are Gruby and GAME ON Marac who both won the league.

When talking about FIFA I have to mention our newly added FC Mobile game that has been a part of A1AL since the 12th season. So far SHAQ has been the most successful, being the only champion in the game. The defending champion is back in the current season, and we will see if we have a new Tarik Novo on our hands.

Best of Brawl Stars

A1 Adria League went mobile in season 2 but Brawl Stars was first introduced in season 5. At the beginning of each season, a new winner was announced up until team Salada de Frutas entered the stage. This team is without a doubt unpreceded and the most rewarded. Since the ninth season, excluding S10 where they were vice-champions, until the current 14th season, Salada won every single time amounting to four A1AL titles.

Moreover, when talking about individual talents in this game, Salada’s players would be the most successful ones. Nikola “DzonDzon” Brajkovic boasts seven titles and two runner-up awards, while his teammate Andrej “Andrey” Pausic has six A1AL titles and also two runner-ups.

A1AL mini tournament most rewarded teams

As I said at the beginning we have hosted more than 10 games overall. There were competitions in Clash Royale, Hearthstone, Dota 2, League of Legends, PUBG, Valorant, F1, Trackmania, and Fortnite.

In CR the most successful was Nikola, who won the title two times individually and one time as part of Joza Esports. LoL’s most rewarded team in the league was Harmony, while in the PUBG the most dominant was Entropiq who won three consecutive titles (S9, S10, and S11).
