Ronin signs Ascent

March 3, 2016

Ascent has completed their search for a sponsorship by signing with Ronin.

Ronin is a relatively new gaming organization, fielding a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive currently competing in ESEA Premier, the division right below the ESL Pro League, as well as a top Paladins team.

Representing an organization is nothing new for Ascent, as they previously represented Team eLevate (formerly Exertus eSports), notably completing a perfect regular season in ESEA and eliminating Classic Mixup in the playoffs while under their banner. As part of Ronin, they are planning to return to Europe in August to compete at Insomnia58 in addition to their normal participation in ESEA Invite.

Ronin issued the following statement:

We are happy to announce the acquistion of the former Ascent roster to the Ronin family. We are proud to be working with such a dedicated group of individuals, and look forward to them representing the Ronin brand in the future.

Ma3la, team captain, discussed the new organization with us:

Despite playing with some of my teammates for over 2 years now, I still see us growing as players and as a team. I’m excited to continue that growth with an organization that fully backs both our team as well as TF2, and will be supporting us to a degree that no other organization involved in the game has. We’ll do nothing less than strive to continue our success over the past few months and bring titles to Ronin.

The roster representing Ronin, which will make its first appearance under the new brand against -bird noises- tonight at 11:30ET, will be:

Scout: yomps
Scout: Shrugger
Roamer: Ma3la
Pocket: rando
Demoman: Bdonski
Medic: phorofor

shrugger is the most European-looking NA player imo. he looks like he's been in a soccer/football riot and compiled a linux kernel before.

It's actually sad to see the Ascent logo and name disappear, really liked that. Obviously a huge step up for the team though, fantastic to see Ronin involved in TF2.

ronin's already satisfied the first rule of "sponsor that knows what they're doing" by not using the default images everywhere

good job guys, and it's always good to see more sponsors get involved!

It's interesting to see how the original lost in translation team has changed over the last 2 years with bdonski and ma3la being the only members left from the original squad

It's not about getting tonnes of sponsors into tf2, it's about whether they can be maintained once matchmaking hype dies down.
Still nice to see someone pick up a team as talented as Ascent

Does this imply paid travel expenses?
