Ascend is the prime example of what a leader should be. He is beyond dedicated. Giving up valuable time with his wife and young kids, to be on xbox, inspiring and motivating the division and community as a whole. He has been faced with a lot of things, that some may not have been able to get thru, but ascend walked through the fire like it was nothing. Along with being motivating and inspiring, he also bring up new ideas. When headhunters was not doing so good and was getting boring he came up with the great idea of Suicide Squad. That was originally a team here in LW and everyone was pumped about it. Within just a few days there were a lot of people wanting to try out and really excited to have the time. Then ascend mentioned it to someone in another division, just while having a conversation, and it picked up everywhere. Everyone in numerous divisions was excited. They set up other teams with different names besides suicide squad. When the recruiting tournament was going on, there was a battle between 2 squads with the recruiting, ascend went a step further and about 2 weeks before the tournament ended, he placed a competition between Achilles and Hypnos. What would the winner get? A video of Ascend doing the running man challenge, the catch? the squad that won the competition would pick ascends whole outfit. What made all of this so great? He Stuck to his word. That is something Ascend has Always done. If he says he doing to do something, he does it. He is always there for everyone personal or KSI related. He has sat personally with me in a party for a good 2 hours just trying to help me. This was late at night and he could've gotten off and went and spent time with his family or went and played a game on the Xbox one, but he didn't. I have heard of him doing this way to many times to count for members. Since being a 7 i have really truly seen the dedication ascend has. When things got rocky when i was first a co-fo, ascend offered to take any tag he had to, (at this time he had the recruit tag as well) Still as a Division Leader, he offers to take tags and take the pressure off of the 7s below him. On top of his Clan Op ( Division Leader Duties) he always is in IA. Many times ascend has had to juggle problems needed to be handled as a div leader and IA issues, and he does it flawlessly. He is all in AAP. He ensures everyone below him is ready for positions and takes the time to get to know everyone. He sticks up and supports his staff and that to me is great. He has been involved in multiply squad splits. He also was a big help and factor in bringing Paladin back to life. He is the reason the division is where it is today. He has helped numerous people with names changes, Xbox live (myself included), prize for recruiting tournaments. He has even offered to send me his old XB1 when he gets a new one, so i can still be here in KSI as we move forward into more and more Xbox one squads. ( that right there alone is just simply amazing to me)
To be honest, i could go on for awhile about KSI Ascend 7 and how he has gone above and beyond for not only this division but for all of KSI. Ascend is an outstanding person. He is reliable,dedicated,kind,fun person. He is someone to take notes from. He is someone I look up to as a leader. If i become half the leader Ascend is, i will be 100% happy. He deserves every amount of the award and i truly hope everyone notices what an amazing leader and person he is.
