After the legendary ENCE became the champion in the previous A1 Gaming League tournament of the 2024-2025 season in November, it’s time for the next chapter of the action in Bulgaria’s biggest esports league. The championship kicks off on March 7, featuring 24 teams competing for a share of the 30,000 BGN (~15,000 EUR) prize pool.
