CS:GO Major winner AdreN aims to “develop esports in Kazakhstan” through his new organization, Novaq.

A recently founded organization by Dauren “AdreN” Kystaubayev, Novaq has announced its roster for CS2, featuring an ensemble of promising young Kazakhstani players spearheaded by Sanzhar “neaLaN” Iskhakov and benefiting from the coaching of AdreN himself.

Goals and Aspirations

AdreN expressed to HLTV that the mission behind his initiative, which is fully funded by his own finances, is to nurture and elevate a team of motivated young talents.

“I understood that they need to take the next step,” said AdreN. “That is, a bootcamp and someone who can provide what they lack.”

neaLaN joins the team to supply the leadership experience that the squad desperately needs, having previously showcased his skills at two Majors with Evil Geniuses.

The rest of the roster primarily constitutes players under 20 years old, who have previously competed in teams like AVANGAR and TÓR, achieving success in regional tournaments and several CCT qualifiers in 2023 and 2024.

Novaq consists of:

• Sanzhar “neaLaN” Iskhakov
• Mustafa “forkyz” Maulenkul
• Alisher “tasman” Marat
• Daniyar “Pumpkin66” Buldybayev
• Sanzhar “def1zer” Talgat
• Dauren “AdreN” Kystaubayev (Coach)

This formation of youthful talent coupled with a seasoned coach like AdreN sets the stage for a bright future in Kazakhstani esports.
