Hello, Habre! The Selectel team is in touch. Do you remember the IT crossword we did last year? During 4 days you solved more than 128 questions. It was cool, but we didn’t think it was enough. The crossword puzzle turned out to be easier than we thought.

It’s time to fix it and add one to the power of two! We are launching the second season of the IT crossword – a new round of online competition among all those interested in technology and beyond. This time, everything is more interesting: you will have to solve more than 256 questions, test your knowledge in development, history of IT, IS, mobile devices, infrastructure and ML. And also – show your Soft Skills!

Under the executioner there is a crossword puzzle and a question. Experts who collect more points for their answers will receive exclusive Selectel merch. Are you ready to participate? Then let’s start!
