ASNA is here to stay! The ex-As7 will be the house of three different esports teams in Japan. This is all we know about them.
Esports in Japan are growing day by day, and teams have to reinvent themselves to keep their audience interested. This is the case for As7, a multidisciplinary esports team that is now updating their name to ASNA.
However, this is a message to all the casters and community: The name's pronunciation stays the same —"asuna". The Japanese brand is not new to the Asian scene, as they've been around since Jan. 2023. Their rebrand includes a new name, logo, and theme: "Find your color".
Before becoming ASNA, As7 found international recognition when one of their players, ごんたパイナポー, made it to the Fortnite Champion Series 2023 (Last Chance Major); during the Chapter 4, Season 3, Asian Finals.
Now, they are planing to compete not only in Fortnite, but in two other disciplines. These are the newest rosters competing under the ASNA name:
- APEX Legends:
- Rayzzy
- Ojipan
- Tekunoro
- Mitan
- VALORANT:
- Raysen
- Masa
- Merusea
