About First Ascent
First Ascent is an epic badge for Team Up. A pennant planted on a summit nobody had reached — the Season 1 climb, dated forever. It is a one-time $0.00 unlock that then applies across every league you play in.
First Ascent is a badge — a small animated mark that sits right next to your name on every ranked row. Badges are the most compact way to add personality to your presence: they read clearly at row height, stack neatly beside your gamer tag, and show up anywhere your leaderboard does, including inside Discord. Like every Team Up cosmetic, First Ascent is purely visual and has no effect on your rating.
Design & animation
First Ascent renders in gold around its 🚩 mark. It moves with a soft, steady glow that pulses in and out, at a measured pace (3.2s loop). A gold glow rings the icon so it stays visible against any row background.
Epic is a premium tier: richer color work, more pronounced motion, and a purple glow that signals you have invested in your presence.
