The best players of Kazakh CS will meet in a major tournament

In late September, the Kazakhstan Esports Federation announced the start of the second season of the country's main CS2 championship, IZI QCL by QCF. This is a regular championship featuring 16 teams from across the country. The tournament will be held in a league format, meaning each team will play against every other team. The prize fund for the second season amounts to 1 million tenge.

In May 2024, negotiations began between the Federation and the Qazaq Counter-Strike League to create a joint regular championship. By June, the new esports competition QCL by QCF had already launched in Kazakhstan.

The first season delivered intense matches for esports fans, as it was conducted in a GSL format. Viewers witnessed a group stage filled with exciting games, where the Kokshetau Predators took first place, Almaty Miracles secured second, and Oskemen Nomads finished third.

Additionally, at the end of the season, a playoff stage was held in an elimination format, which was won by the Astana Dragons.
