got tired of 2nd place

He's come in 2nd place roughly 15 times.

For comparison, rando came in 2nd only 12 times.

only 12

I highly doubt that getting 2nd place for a 15th time is finally what put him over the edge and drop the game. If you don't know Ascent's history, the team pretty much has had the same core of players up until about two seasons ago. Rando quit, followed next season by yomps leaving for Froyo. I'm probably gonna be called an idiot but if you know anything about the older Ascent, they were able to contest Froyo. They were able to take a few bo3s off of Froyo before. They beat them in that new map tournament. They've taken maps off Froyo before. Hell, when I first left Froyo to join Ascent, we were crushing them in every scrim and in our first match when I joined them (we won 5-2). Shortly afterwards, paddie left for portugal for a long ass time period. It's not his fault but ever since then it's been a constant barrage of roster issues. After that came the season Rando & Corsa left (though Corsa did come back). After that season yomps left. Now after another season half the team left. It's not shocking news when a team has to replace one player but being plagued by an inconsistent roster for a while now is extremely disheartening. It hurts a teams chance to be good. Imagine being a player as old as Bdonski and having to practically reset your team every season after not needing to do that for seasons.

Now Bdonski truly never said why he didn't wanna play. I think it's just because of college + the reasons I've listed above but I'd hate to put words in his mouth. I also really hate to see people to give someone that was as good and talented as Bdonski a lame reason to leave as just "haha he got 2nd too many times". If that didn't stop him before, it wouldn't have stopped him now.

b4nny said recently that the best two teams froyo has played against were the ronin roster and mixup

i was only joking i know he wouldn't leave because he got second place to many times.
