The EA FC action has continued over the weekend in the A1 Adria League, with the main tournament in EA FC 25 taking place, and a new champion taking the big win. In addition to the “big” EA FC event, we also saw the culmination of the A1 Student eChallenge in EA FC, with players coming very close to the skills we’re used to seing on the main EA FC tournaments. 

On Thursday, we saw the best four student players compete in the A1 SeC, as an ideal warmup for the big games coming our way during the weekend. Srza and Kontisha played the first semi final, with Srza going through after penalties, and Tome beat Bati in the second matchup of the day. In the big finals, Tome dominated and won with a difference of four goals, for a final score of 5 to 1. This is the second title for Tome, and he will enjoy his €100. 

During the weekend, we had two group stages and a final in the main EA FC competition over three days, with enough matches to really separate the best from the not-quite-there ones. 

In Group A, novo and Cyber_Fico were tied with 10 points after the regular stage, with novo winning the group stage on goal difference. Fika ended in third with 9 points, and plgnn_maksa finished fourth with 5 points. In the B group, MISKO_FIFA had a great run with 13 points, followed by BATI with 10, BACKO_SRB with 9 and MARAC with 3 points. 

The stage was set for the finals on Sunday, where Novo played against Bati and MISKO took on Cyber_Fico in the opening round. Novo beat Bati 2:0 easily, and MISKO dropped Cyber_Fico to the lower bracket after yet another dramatic penalty shootout. The second round of the upper bracket saw novo knocked out to the lower bracket by Misko with a perfect 2:0 score, and Cyber_Fico won against Bati in the lower bracket as well.

After three matches, Cyber_Fico managed to win on penalties against novo, and reached the grand final, beating the six-time A1AL champion. It seems like this only made Fico stronger, because he managed to reset the bracket to 2:2, win a decider match, and grab the number one spot in the Weekly EA FC competition. This means that Cyber_Fico is €400 richer and will be the one to beat later this year at the LAN final, if his luck and skills endure.

This wraps up the action in EA FC Mobile and EA FC. We’ll have another round of EA FC Mobile Weeklies coming later this spring, and the eFootball Weekly is coming our way. We’re saying goodbye to football and looking towards League of Legends and Rocket League, the main games we’re watching in the following days.
