Built for climbers across

You're putting in the hours. So why are you still stuck?

You grind, but don't improve

6 hours a day drills your mistakes in deeper. Reps without feedback make bad habits permanent.

Free advice contradicts itself

Reddit says one thing, a YouTuber says another. You've got a pile of tips — not a system.

Tilt and burnout

Loss streaks and ranked anxiety drag you below the rank you can actually hold.

One-off lessons fade

A $40 session feels good for a day. Then you're alone again, no one tracking your progress.

Ascend fixes all four: a system, real coaches, and a squad that sticks. Free diagnosis below.

Start free — no card, no catch

Bobo, founder and head coach of Ascend
Meet the founder

Founded and led by a Radiant who's lived at the top since Act 1.

I'm Bobo, founder and head coach. I've been Radiant since Act 1, and I've competed on the NA circuit since 2021 — VCT Challengers, Challengers League, and 50+ tournaments across ten-plus teams, with a tournament win and a stack of podium finishes. Living at the top and playing the thinking roles, I see exactly what separates a hardstuck player from a Radiant one — and how to close that gap fast. I built a system out of it and hand-picked other Radiant and Tier-1/Tier-2 players to coach it, so you don't get one opinion — you get a whole roster teaching the same proven way.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Drop your email, send a clip, and get a personalized rank-up diagnosis on our weekly Free VOD Review. No card required. Free gets you one diagnosis; the membership makes it weekly and personalized.

What rank do I need to be?

Any rank, Iron to Immortal. The system scales — fundamentals win games at every level. We tailor the plan to where you actually are.

How is the membership different from a one-off lesson?

A single lesson fades by the weekend. The membership is ongoing structure: weekly reviews, routines, scrims, and a team of coaches who track your progress week over week. That's what compounds into rank.

How does the rank-up guarantee work?

On the Radiant Path, follow your plan and attend your sessions. If you don't rank up within 60 days, your next month is free until you do. Full terms are shared on your fit call.

Can I cancel the membership?

Anytime, in two clicks. It's month-to-month with a 7-day refund window. No lock-in, no "apply to cancel."

Do you coach teams?

Yes — solo climbers and full 5-stacks. Our coaching staff handles team reviews and strat sessions for your whole roster.

How much does coaching cost?

Scout is free — no card, send a clip and get your diagnosis. Challenger membership is $39/mo (founding rate): weekly live group coaching + a personal VOD review every month. Radiant Path is $549/mo: 4 × 90-min 1-on-1 sessions, a custom plan, direct coach access, and the 60-day rank-up guarantee.

What regions do you coach?

NA, EU, and OCE. Coaching sessions and VOD reviews are scheduled around your timezone.

Who are the coaches?

Bobo (founder, Radiant since Act 1, VCT Challengers competitor, 100+ players coached) hand-picks and trains every coach. The current roster: Kcep (Kcep#905 — Initiator/Sentinel), pivers (pivers#jenn — Duelist/Sentinel), and mikester (mikester#wtp — Controller/Sentinel). All peak Radiant, all verifiable in-client.

Your next rank is one good decision away.

Start free today, or apply for a guarantee-backed spot. Either way, you stop guessing and start climbing.
