Today, Team Ascension is extremely proud to announce that we will be acquiring a majority of the  IvDgaming roster and staff.
Since their inception, IvD have been a paragon of what a well-run team should be. From hosting dozens of public tournaments to supporting a roster of extremely talented players, it goes without saying that their impact on the scene will be long lasting.
Before meeting the IvD players and staff, I was pretty nervous in that I didn't know quite what to expect. I quickly learned that they are a group of realistic and down to earth individuals, traits that I personally try to instill within Team Ascension. Above all, I'm extremely honored that after deliberation, IvD's players and staff decided to make TA their new home. I've always held IvD in the highest regards as one of the few organizations that treated their members right and gave back to the scene. I will be doing all I can to make sure TA meet the expectations of all its members, new and old.
Travis "AprilTerran" Yang
Team Ascension General Manager
IvD Gaming had a great run. We went from a rag-tag bunch of guys to being a premier NA team. Sadly, today we have to close our doors. To be as cliché as possible, it was a hell of a ride! We would especially like to thank all of our fans who supported us through thick and thin. I love all of our players, past and present, dearly and we will all cherish our time under the IvD flag. After a lot of discussion and consideration we have decided to stay together but to go ahead and move down the block. The remaining IvD players and myself will be moving in with our good friends over at Team Ascension. We would all like to thank them for giving us all a new home (<3). Together, I know, we will succeed as never before!
David "Dyne" Lujan
IvDgaming Professional SC2 Manager
Super excited about welcoming back some old friends and inviting in some new ones. Our 2015 is already off to a great start, and now we're fortunate enough to add in some great players with unique playstyles and personalities. I'm certain of one thing this year: there will never be a dull moment.
Nick "Kamker" McGregor
Team Ascension A Team Captain
It should come as no surprise that IvD was struggling a bit after it was announced that intense, Phog, and puCK had left the team in recent months with no new acquisitions. Rather than trying to rebuild our squad from the ground up we chose to join forces with an organization that has similar goals to IvD - provide a good environment and as much support for players as possible while looking for every opportunity they can to make a splash in the scene. I hope everyone who supported IvD will continue supporting us and the rest of Team Ascension in the future!

Now lets get into the details. Here are the players that will be joining our family!

Thanks to everyone for the continued support! We will continue giving it our all of our players and fans.

I could say a lot of mean things to the majority of the players on this new combined squad but I'll just leave it vague like this.
Good luck, it's good to at least see one of the few NA teams sending people places.

Let's do big things bois

For the second sentence.
Both serve a purpose. If anything, you could think of it as a free bump.

Lol? You are so condescending in all of your posts and they serve no purpose, have you ever heard the saying your mother used to tell you? "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"
Yea. Grow up.

I would like to join this clan if possible. :x Not looking for a pro seat, just wanna join. haha

Woah woah buddy, calm down. I'm quite sure in my first post in your thread I agreed completely with you, before that I never even remember speaking directly to you on this forum so.... But hey, for whatever reason you just seem to hate me, which is fine I guess l0l o:
For a list of all my condescending posts feel free to look at the content I have been supplying in the LotV thread or some of the guides I have posted. Clearly they serve no purpose, I guess?
I have had quite a few "unique" interactions with many of the players on this team, I used to play quite a bit after all. So of course I will say something if I feel compelled to do so. If the players don't want these sorts of post to come to light then maybe they shouldn't act how they do to absolutely everyone they meet. I mean, they are players that represent an organization.

And I'm in the clan, that was quick! Thanks guys!
@-Kyo- That's the name yes.

Whoa, that's a big shake-up in the NA power structure. Grats to TAsc and their new players, they've run a stable organization for quite some time, and hopefully Yogi left it all on good terms.
|
I guess it's really good that the IvD players aren't left teamless, good luck to Ascension!

Team Ascension is going from 1 legit player to 6. Wow, never thought I would see the day. This team continues to field the most blatant hackers on the ladder. I played the most blatant hacker ever tonight, that everyone knows hacks. Guess what team he just joined. This team can't go away fast enough.

The sky is blue. What? It's actually kinda funny that a team who has hackers who are more blatant than nerfy can get sponsors, etc.

Every person you have said hacks has not hacked. At most one of their players is suspicious, the rest not even close.

Yeah, like the time I told their team about a hacker and then he got banned in the basetrade tournament. Yeah, man, everyone is so legit. Team Ascension makes imbaqq look reputable. It is dire, dire times for the NA ladder atm, and SC 2 in general. Not only was that guy in the basetrade tournament blatantly hacking to a point that a blind man could tell, everyone on your team was as adamant as could be that the guy was legit. This a hacking team with legit players sprinkled in. Nothing more.
I'm sure they get removed from the team until they change their name, though.

Ok well humor me and list the people you believe hack from the team, you can pm the names if you want idc. You've made it clear you believe euphoria hacks, whom else?

It's hard to say, given you're the only team that has barcodes and every single player is a smurf. The only player on your team that isn't half suspect is Kamker. Haze was pretty high on the ladder last season. Humor me and tell me who that is. Is that some random person, not on your team, smurfing, or is it the standard Team Ascension hacker to make you guys "look good"?

Why can't we all be friends here? We all enjoy one of the most amazing and original games ever created and all we seem to do is fight about it.

At this point you'd be hard to find an American clan who hasn't had similar complaints levied against them, more so when the amateur scene was more populated circa HOTS release.
If you're going to make accusations at least support it like RemarK has in the past for Daisuki.

If he has changed his ways you can't really complain too much tbh. I dont watch RuFF play on stream so I dont know for sure.

As an outsider to the drama, I must admit I came in with a skewed perception of RuFF. However after watching his stream and talking to him personally, it became clear that this was just a person that made a mistake, owned up to it, and is ready for the future ^^

If you think RuFF does not still say incredibly BM things and does not still accuse many players of cheating/saying ridiculous things while he streams then you are just as gullible as the people who think that Believe turned over a new leaf and was going to start being nice to people. I'll let the others slide, but to paint this individual as 'only making a mistake' is ... -_-;;
And just so it is clear, what he said was never a mistake. He made a disgusting comment that was clearly laced with bad-intent.

Haze is a guy from Korea who supposedly lets one of his friends from korea play his account (at least that's what I've heard) but not much is known about him so I guess it's possible.
Also I assumed you were talking about Bioice and not kamker lol because Bioice has also been levit for a while

Huh. didn't see that one coming at all. GL and congrats to TA

Grats guys. I've played a lot of the TAsc people on ladder, and it's cool to see IvD and TAsc combining. glhf~

Congrats to both parties. Two of the most upstanding and influential teams in the NA scene coming together can only lead to better and better things.

Clearly you do not read my posts if you think I talk shit about "every NA player". I have a lot of respect for a large number of players and I make that clear; though, you and half of your previous team are not among them as I pointed out in your thread.
If people don't care what they say then they must immediately be ready to incur the cost of posts pointing out how incredibly childish they act and their terrible mental state. If, somehow, me pointing out that yourself, and many others, are incredibly BM is somehow a deficit that you are attempting to pin on me then your logic has some major issues, especially when you put it in the above manner. This is an open forum and when people go making announcement about how their team is moving in a better direction due to those new players you assume them as baggage.
Read these responses and you'll find that there has not been a single reasonable response to what I've said, it is just people getting angry that I point this stuff out; and no surprise, it's all from people who dislike me for various, hilarious reasons such as protech. Your anger is your problem not mine; the general responses given should clearly articulate to an objective, 3rd party reader a great sense of what I am talking about.

Kyo, as someone who had a lot of respect for you it's sad to see you going around threads hating on people, especially ivd/ascension which are clearly 2 of the best teams if not the best teams on NA besides EG. As a long time follower of your stream I've decided to unfollow/unsubscribe and I wish you the best of luck.
