I don't have any problems with the name but I'd be lying if I didn't think the logo looks like it was made for a sports club and not an esports one

Bro chill, what the hell prompted this

Ok dude, my bad, I didn't know

No that's my answer to "how did they win"

Harbor :)

I think she'll be good on Split

Have you heard of a permaban

SAME BRAINCELL OMG

Watch them pull an NRG and put koalanoob on Sage

No problem :)

It's so silly how "be normal" is their company slogan lmao

Mine is Argentinian flex igl into Champs win

That's fair

FENNEL and Made In Thailand were my favourites to win Ascension this year. FENNEL lost an intense 3-2 to RIDDLE ORDER and MITH lost to a terrible format. RIDDLE ORDER is my new favourite to win (JFT is my second)

I wouldn't count a robot as bald but you do you

It's the Ascent comp so of course everyone's gonna play it. Also DRX played it so tier 2 teams are just copying that.

If teams actually had people who know how to play Harbor, then the LEV comp would probably be meta, probably with Astra instead of Omen

I'm surprised more people aren't playing G2-style comps, especially M80 who lean very heavily into Yoru

I wish my ranked teammates were this good at the hecking game

It's 1-1 and the map 2G won was more one-sided but ok

Stars are basically a measure of how many posts you make. It usually takes around 250 posts to get 4 stars

neT needs to ascend three times to ascend

As far as I'm aware, zander igls on attack and neT igls on defense

What if we just had 0 agents. So you load into agent select and you literally can't do anything. And then you get a lifetime ban for queue dodging 👍

Oh my god how many do you have

+1

Zap

22% at Champs (behind Jett and Raze)
16% at Ascension EMEA (behind Jett and Raze)
37% at Ascension CN (above Jett and Raze)
30% at Ascension Americas minus the final (below Jett, above Raze)

Yeah, that's a decent spot, I think

Bro how many alts did you make

Chamber wasn't balanced. No one says he was. Neon is in a pretty good spot, though

He's getting buffs next month, according to the latest Dev Diaries

Bro's not getting off the toilet for the next 2 hours

You're probably right. BLEED's probably tryna make as much money as they can off of him 😭

What the hell is that username bro

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean he's a bad caster, per se

Yeah that's fair. It's still more fun on average if both the casters are popping off (Pansy + Hypoc in Champions 2023 is a great example of this)

I can definitely see him being an import, yeah. Hopefully there were some good scouts watching the EMEA Ascension group stage

Damn that's sick

Wyatt is a great analyst but he just doesn't seem like he has the energy to cast most of the time

Depends on the region. In Pacific, for example, every game so far has been a 2-0, most of the time pretty one-sided. EMEA, on the other hand, needed to use the rulebook to decide tiebreakers for both groups

Technically leaf replaced him, and icy replaced leaf

Mudkip :)

wackie 100% needs a team (same with waddle) but unfortunately there's only 60 slots in tier 1 per region (which sucks, because there's probably several hundred people that deserve it)

I know avez can flex (I mean, come on, look at his agent history) but the reason I think he's recon is because Saadhak is probably flex

Also nataNk might be the next Scream if that's the case

If KC is looking to sign Minny then I'm assuming that means they're putting avez on recon

Also damn I didn't realize teams were fighting over nataNk. Is he really that big of a prospect?

This is after the satchel nerfs btw

bang is more proven at a tier 1 level, but that just means he has more experience. Pound for pound idk if he's any better than zander right now

CONGRATS TO XLG! KNEW THEY COULD DO IT :)

No idea. If I had to guess, it would probably be the org wanting to sign exemplary foreign players to win Ascension so they can gain the benefits of being a tier 1 team, before dropping the lesser or their two imports for a local player that can try to fill their shoes. Would seem kinda scummy from a player's perspective, especially if they helped them win Ascension, but at the end of the day the imports are going into this knowing one of them will be dropped if they win
