'''Ascent''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] TF2 team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 15|ESEA Season 15]] from a group of invite pug players. The core of the team, Ma3la and Bdonski, have been together since the team's creation. They were also formerly known as Lost in Translation, Exertus eSports and eLevate TF2. After the end of Season 18, eLevate gaming ceased sponsorship for Team Fortress 2, and as such, the team previously known as '''[[eLevate]]''' became known as Ascent. Ascent are known recently for their intense rivalry with the other top NA team, [[Froyotech]], and in that sense are the successors to the disbanded [[Classic_Mixup|Classic Mixup]].
