Well, Kondensat led from start to last match and lost title in last two games, losing against Shingis and Almaty anyway, Kondensat represented Kazakhstan in Asian Club Championships and got 4th place, losing bronze with BAIC Motors Beijing.
As in women's league I have no idea about promotion and relegation system. Most likely Taraz will leave and in 2nd league (Vyzhshaya Liga A) leads Dinamo Kazygurt with 16 points of advantage 6 matches before end.

Quote from tomen

Almaty's absence......I think it is stronger than Uralsk......

I agree, Almaty has better roster, similarly to women's Zhetyssu Taldykorgan team have roster like a NT, having most key players
Kazakh NT in this season will probably be based mostly on Almaty, adding some names from other teams like:
Mironenko, Mamedov & Tleulin (Kazchrome); Vorivodin & Kuznetsov (Uralsk); D.Aubakirov & Suleymenov (Pavlodar); N.Aubakirov & Baibekov (Atyrau);
It gives us overall 21 players for wide roster (mostly team from last season), maybe someone else can be called. I didn't follow league throughout whole season, so I don't know who shone and who was mediocre
