After 2 years of experience in esports under a different name, Benjamin Rolle founded Acend with one goal in mind: Racing to the top of Europe's (and the world’s) esports leagues. The first opportunity to make a name for ourselves followed shortly after: Valorant.
Talent is not enough. We pride ourselves with our ability to provide a surrounding of growth for our players, to allow them to reach their true potential. We do this through mental coaching, nutritional advice, and high-level coaches and training regiments. Our aim is to find talented players, build rosters with high potential, and guide them to their best self.
Our values extend to the way we interact with our fanbase as well. We communicate in an encouraging way, showing our community that hard work and focus pays off, and that there is a path to creating the life others only dream of. We aim to entertain by not taking ourselves and our successes too seriously in the process.
We have made the firm decision to be open in our communication. The inner workings of esports have been behind a sealed door for a long time. We believe our followers deserve to be truthfully informed about our decision-making and the faith of their players.
