Our drive to develop the grassroot esports scene isn’t slowing down — in fact, we’re constantly looking for opportunities; potential esport stars, new teams willing to fight their way to the top, grassroot players and teams looking for financial support and exposure. After a very successful Serbian League, Rising Stars League, Enter The Arena and Adria Masters test event, we are finally ready to present to you — The CS:GO Adria Masters Series 1.

As the name already suggests, it’s designed to gather CS:GO teams from all over the Adriatic region, as well as the Balkans, but if you have a team that is based in another region, you’re welcome to join as well!

Adria is a region with so much potential both inside and outside of esports, and we’re hoping with the right cultivation we will help expose and develop the potential and talent in the area.

The Adria Masters Qualifier

Qualifiers will take place on the Razer Arena platform with whom we’re always glad to work with. They will feature 256 slots, and only two teams will get the chance to qualify, along with 14 invited teams, so gather your teams, work and practice hard, and you just might make it!
In fact, you can already register, and start playing on April 22nd:
