Headliners will perform at each stage. Thus, the start of the first weekend was opened by L’One and the Kazakh rapper MOREART.
ALIKSON TEAM Ambassador Anna Sedokova shared: “I love basketball very much, and you know that I have a lot in common with it – I have extensive experience as a spectator and fan, and I am familiar with the top players around the world. When Hasan, my friend and founder of ALIKSON TEAM, and I first met, I asked him an important question: “Do we want to play or win?” Hasan replied: “Win.” We entered the season with this attitude and have no plans to deviate from the course.”
Co-organizer Sevak Hakobyan noted: “This is already the fourth season, and our team is only getting stronger. We have new teams, high-profile headliners, everything is becoming brighter and more interesting. We are moving in the right direction.”
