Keaton Pedersen

**Keaton Pedersen** was a challenger on Ascendance Live 2 and Ascendance Live 3.

Keaton started his Ascendance journey in Ascendance ORG Season 3, Spies In The Night. Keaton was newer to the Skype/Proboards community, so coming in he was ready to show why he would be a player to watch. In a season of alliance versus alliance, Keaton was in the middle for a small portion of the game. After a few rounds, he shifted towards the alliance of Kurtis/Stephanie/Marc/Jimmi. All was going well until we hit a Double Elimination round. The agencies had gotten split very evenly for each alliance, so when it came down to that specific alliance voting someone out, they went with a non-core member Keaton. Keaton would become one of the final members of the Pre-Jury.

He continued his Ascendance journey in Ascendance ORG Mini, 'Ghosts Of The Past'. This mini season lasted one week and played out for about 2 hours each night. Keaton wanted to prove that he was done dirty in his original season and wanted to prove he had what it takes to make it all the way to the end. He played a very headstrong game, winning 3 captain challenges, and surviving multiple rounds where votes landed on him. At the Final 7, a 3-2-2 took Keaton out and ended his chance at redemption.

He once again returned to Ascendance in Ascendance Live 2. Keaton was no stranger to the LRG community, so coming in he knew somewhat to expect for the game. He came in knowing multiple people in both good and bad ways which he hoped he could work around. He easily was one of the most energetic players who was always ready to try and win a competition. He was able to make some deep connections with some good friends and truly show his true competitive self. Here are a few key points in Keaton's game. Round 1, Keaton was really helping to push through the escape room challenge but he did not come out victorious. Rounds 2, Keaton won the tiebreaker question for his team, ensuring that he had safety after a stressful round for him. Round 4 was a double elimination in which Keaton felt safe in. Keaton pushed for the vote to Thomas but he ultimately got blindsided in a vote in which others had told him his name was out there. Keaton would be voted out in a 6-2 vote.

Keaton returned to Ascendance for a fourth time in Ascendance Live 3. Keaton was no stranger to Ascendance Live and had a fire to do better than his original time. He came in knowing the game and what to expect each round. He had a huge target on his back being the only returnee. After narrowly escaping elimination Round 1, Keaton went back to his old ways and was crazy. He couldn't catch a break Round 2 either, with his name being thrown again, but he survived. Here are a few key points in Keaton's game. Round 3, Keaton won Captain for the first time in his Ascendance career. Round 4 was a Double Elimination once again. Keaton felt defeated as he felt the same fate coming on for him as it did in Ascendance Live 2. Keaton would be voted out in a 5-2 vote. This finalized the trend of the original Black Team in Round 1 going home back to back to back to back. Keaton's return marks the first time that there is an Ascendance Live Alumni playing a 2nd Season. Keaton's vote out also marks the first time in Ascendance Live History that someone is voted out in the same placement twice. During Ascendance Live 3, a unique opportunity arose and Keaton had a shot to come back into the game in the Boomerang Battle. He would lose that challenge, ultimately not returning to the game.
