After a short playoff battle that only covered their 3-0 loss to TSM, Dignitas finds themselves out of Worlds contention, and their 2020 season is officially over.<\/p>\n
Dignitas have had quite the rough year after acquiring Clutch Gaming and then completely demolishing the roster, despite its success of the previous year where they made it to Worlds. Only keeping Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon in the top lane, they struggled to sign others to the team due to the massive $2.3 million contract they used to keep Huni.<\/p>\n
They finally filled the roster with Henrik “Froggen” Hansen in the midlane, Zaqueri “aphromoo” Black and Johnson “Johnsun” Nguyen in the botlane, and Jonathan “Grig” Armao in the jungle. Although they started strong in the first few weeks, the wins quickly began to be few and far between as they finished in 7th place, a rough end to a rough split that also had LCS production changing entirely when COVID-19 cases began.<\/p>\n
In the time before Summer Split began, it was announced Huni would be leaving Dignitas, and then eventually revealed he would be moving to Evil Geniuses. This scratched some heads as due to import slot rules, you could only have two imported players on a main roster at one time.<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately our #LCS<\/a> 2020 journey has come to an end. It wasn’t the result we hoped for, but we’re proud of the individual progress our players made to secure a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
GGWP to @TSM<\/a>. We can’t wait to be back on the Rift in 2021. Thank you for your continued support. pic.twitter.com\/7XURYXOc06<\/a><\/p>\n
