The roster is in: CWL has officially revealed the 10 teams competing in the debut season of Ascend. These elite teams represent some of the most skilled Master-tier players in the amateur scene, each with strong individual records, team histories, and reputations within the CWL ecosystem.
Selection for Ascend was no easy task. CWL organizers considered each team’s past performance, LP rankings, and overall cohesion. The chosen teams feature a mix of returning CWL champions, top finishers from Defy, and newcomers who have proven themselves on the ranked ladder and in scrims.
With only 10 slots and no weak links, every match in Ascend promises to be a battle of wits, skill, and coordination. Players and spectators alike are eager to see how these teams will stack up under pressure, and which names will rise to the top. This group of competitors will set the tone for what Ascend means, not just as a division, but as a benchmark for excellence in CWL.
