Rules of Ascension:
You start every game in pre ascension UNLESS you dropped 30+ kills the game before.

15+ kills in the first half will get you post ascension for the second half.

If you didn't reach ascension in the first half you can still ascend by reaching 25+ total kills.

If you get 5 kills in knife round you reach ascension for that game.

In each OT, getting ascension for the next game needs +5 kills on the 30+ kill requirement.
