There are not many domestic tournaments during the calendar year, so we got an incredible situation where two same teams play in the same city, on two different days, in two different tournaments. Jake Bube and Z10 fought in Zagreb for trophies during the weekend.
The Esports Championship was played on Saturday, where Jake Bube won two to one after three maps. They took Inferno without much trouble, only to lose in overtime during the second map, Overpass. It was the turn of the final map, Mirage, where they left the opponent with only šsix rounds and deservedly took a valuable prize with them.
Tandem that lasts longer than the domestic scene!

What bugs? Jake Bube!@c0llinsCS @andr1xCS #jakebube pic.twitter.com/Wvyf1Lfm7M
The work was still not over, both teams were aware that they would meet again the next day, in another tournament, far from their homes, considering that not a single player who participated in the finals was from Croatia. Before the start of the second final, it was known that Impulse would be playing instead of dEE, and since the sniper is a very important position, we could have expected a different final from the first. Also, unlike the first final which was played in a best-of-3 format, we now saw a best-of-5.
We are ready for the final! #jakebube @A1adrialeague

The Adria League finals started on Inferno, and Zero Tenacity played it much better this time and won with 16:5. The mirrored veto of the first final continued, so we watched Overpass again, but also how Z10 wins again in overtime. The third map was Mirage, where Jake Bube failed again, and aVN and the team got their revenge and beat them routinely with 3:0!
Happy birthday @simkeCS, lifting the trophy today is huge gift. I wish you the best and damn... 31 frags on Mirage ❤️✨????

Simke had an excellent final, he led his team with frags, so this nineteenth birthday will surely remain in his good memory.

ggwp to our friends at @JakeBube
The weekend in Zagreb ended, the teams shared the trophies, we saw two faces in both teams and the question remains what would have happened if dEE performed for the team during the second day as well. Of course, far from Impulse being to blame for the result as neither player really celebrated during the second final, the Z10 showed class on Sunday. One thing is certain, not a single team under the organization in the Balkans has an easy job when they stand in the way of the players of the Strong Beetles!
Jake Bube 1 trophy @Z10esports 1 trophy, when the third final?
