ARASAKA × CYBERSPORT.KG is a CS2 LAN mix tournament at the Arasaka computer club. The tournament is organized by the Arasaka club and the cybersport.kg platform, the tournament's main partner.
Individual registration opens online on October 5, here on cybersport.kg. There are no PTS restrictions: any player on the platform can play. Rosters are formed on-site through a draft: the organizer appoints captains, who take turns selecting players from the common pool. No pre-assembled teams of five.
08:00 — gathering at the club.
By 11:00 — payment of entry fees at the administration desk.
11:30 — matches begin.
There is no online prepayment. An application on the website reserves a place in the pool, and the fee is paid at the club's administration desk by 11:00. Only players who have paid enter the draft.
All collected entry fees go to prizes: 50% for first place, 30% for second, 20% for third. We will announce the exact amounts before the start, once the number of players who have paid is known.
Double elimination bracket: a team must lose twice to be eliminated. All bracket matches are played on one map (Bo1); the grand final is a best-of-three (Bo3). MR12, MR3 overtime. Map pool: Mirage, Dust II, Inferno, Nuke, Ancient, Anubis, Cache. Pick-ban and server setup are automatic; statistics, demos, and ratings are recorded automatically.
An account on cybersport.kg with Steam and Telegram linked, an application on this page, and 500 KGS to pay at the club desk on tournament day. The club provides computers and peripherals; you may bring your own mouse, keyboard, and headphones.
The full rules are in the “Rules” tab. Questions can be sent to the tournament chat or the organizer.
1.1.The tournament is held by the cybersport.kg platform in Counter-Strike 2 as a LAN event at the Arasaka computer club (Bishkek) on October 11, 2026. Participants gather from 08:00, entry fees must be paid by 11:00, and matches begin at 11:30. The tournament is jointly organized by the Arasaka club and the cybersport.kg platform (main partner).
1.2.By registering, a participant confirms that they have read and agree to the rules. Ignorance of the rules does not exempt anyone from responsibility.
1.3.The organizer may change the rules before the tournament begins by notifying participants on the tournament page. Changes during the tournament are permitted only to correct obvious errors and may not retroactively change the results of matches already played.
1.4.All disputes not covered by the rules are decided by the tournament's head referee. Their decision is final.
1.5.The organizer may refuse entry or remove a participant from the tournament without refunding the entry fee for violating the rules, cheating, insults, disrupting matches, or attempting to arrange a fixed result.
2.1.A participant must have a cybersport.kg account with Steam linked. Playing on someone else's account (account sharing) is prohibited and punishable by removal from the tournament.
2.2.The Steam account must not have active VAC or Game Bans for CS2, or bans for cheating on third-party platforms received less than 2 years before the tournament.
2.3.Nicknames must not contain insults, profanity, political or religious slogans, or advertising. The organizer may require a nickname change.
2.4.Each player may submit one application. A second application by the same person from another account results in the removal of both applications without a refund of the entry fee.
2.5.Participants must provide accurate information. Providing false information results in removal from the tournament.
3.1.Registration is individual: players apply to a common pool. Team size is 5 players.
3.2.Before the start, the organizer appoints captains. Captains take turns selecting players from the pool on the draft page. Picks proceed in rotation; the pick order and time limit are visible to everyone.
3.3.Captains have a limited time to make a pick (shown on the draft page). If a captain fails to pick in time, the system selects a player automatically and moves to the next pick. A pick missed due to the time limit cannot be reclaimed.
3.4.The captain determines the roster: the team points total limit does not apply in this mode.
3.5.Players not selected for a roster are placed in reserve. A substitute from the reserve may be added only through the organizer.
3.6.Refusing to play for the team that selected a player is equivalent to removal from the tournament without a refund of the entry fee.
3.7.Agreements between captains to form rosters in advance (“you take these players, I'll take those”) are prohibited. If collusion is discovered, the draft is repeated and the captains are disqualified.

6.1.Tactical pause — !pause. Each team has three 30-second pauses per map, plus one additional pause in overtime.
