Dignitas drop male CS:GO team

30/8/2018 - 00:12

Dignitas have parted ways with their men's CS:GO roster, the North American organisation have announced.

The announcement ends a six-month association with the former SoaR line-up and comes with little surprise after the team was relegated from the ESL Pro League, with a 2-20 record.

During their time under Dignitas, the team attended just one LAN event, the Americas Minor, placing 5th-6th following defeats to Rogue and Complexity.

Infinite and co. released by Dignitas

Last month, the team had been depleted to a three-man active roster after benching Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki and Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince, with Tyson "⁠TenZ⁠" Ngo and Anthony "⁠gMd⁠" Guimond among the players who were considered to fill the vacant spots.

According to Dust2.us, gMd is expected to join the team on a permanent basis, with coach Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado set to transition to an active role on the roster.

On Twitter, Dignitas stated that they will keep "an active eye on the CS:GO community", with the organisation set to "adopt a new strategy going forward."

The ex-Dignitas roster competing in ESEA MDL Season 29 will reportedly look as follows:

Mitch "⁠mitch⁠" Semago
Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green
Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney
Anthony "⁠gMd⁠" Guimond
Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado

2018-08-30 00:59

+1 but it's kinda unfair that they are keeping the female team

It’s cuz there female team isnt utter dogshit

2018-08-30 01:22

All female csgo is dogshit. They couldn’t even compete at fragadelphia

2018-08-30 01:28

2018-08-30 01:43

A lot of orgs keep their female CSGO teams for advertisement purposes - to get their sponsors' names out there since females are playing CSGO, which is kind of "rare" to see these days, at least for now. It's easier for orgs to be recognized by their female CSGO teams than male CSGO teams since male teams are a lot more common, thus making them harder to bring their name to the top.

CLG

2018-08-30 05:09

Yeah, CLG Red is a clear example, similar to how Dignitas has only kept their female CSGO team and let go of their male CSGO team. I'm not saying Dignitas is the only org with a female CSGO team.

2018-08-30 05:12

Has CLG red ever even done anything notable? Other than losing 16 0 to renegades of course

2018-08-30 05:24

Never said any female teams have done anything notable. You're literally just assuming things for no reason lol and act like I'm implying something.

2018-08-30 06:07

that was just a question, i seriously dont know if clgr has done anything. I agree with your example.

2018-09-01 00:43

They haven't done anything after their roster changes months ago :\

2018-09-01 00:45

Dignitas shit org, they why shit line up

Nice English

2018-08-30 19:54

They picked them up because SoaR couldnt afford the salaries when they won MDL and got into pro league.

2018-08-30 01:34

then they lost their best player because of age restrictions

2018-08-30 09:46

Lol

They had a team?

yeah. i didnt know either LUL

hahaha

2018-08-30 00:19

the players on ex-dig/ex-SOAR are talented (they grinded their way from MDL to EPL) but signing them was a boneheaded move if they wanted them to do better than 2/20, as the gap between the top and bottom of NA EPL is extremely large.

2018-08-30 01:44

dead org

expected

2018-08-30 05:23

he said changing players. His statement is objectively correct.

2018-08-30 05:55

No because that wasn't a change of players

2018-08-30 19:21

BRA71L and ruining the na scene

2018-08-30 05:10

ptr squad in 2k18 lol

I hope he can find a good team. Dude has been working his ass off for years.

2018-08-30 00:53

have you ever thought that over this many years, he never won something meaningful means that he should stop play?? i'm my opnion ptr is such a noob and he will never win nothing, i think at 28 is time to ptr retire

2018-08-30 00:58

i mean how are you supposed to win anything with bots in team?

2018-08-30 01:01

he played with the core of 2 teams: complexity (yay,dephh, android) and nrg (fugly,daps,brehze) and won nothing, after ptr noob been kicked, one is in the top #10 another ir going to the major, are you kids dumb or what? ptr is just a guy who will never win nothing on the competitive scene

2018-08-30 01:07

+1 he was decent before NA cs was relevant. Now there is actual talent on the scene so no room for him.

2018-08-30 01:29

ptr was regular in 2k14/15 after that he was just a bot

2018-08-30 03:44

At that time, none of those players were seasoned and killing it. And he was shining in that line up. I think if he were in the right squad, he would do very well.

2018-08-30 17:35

They were a semi decent team but the age limit kinda fucked them :(

ryx fucked them also

2018-08-30 00:15

LoL rip mr.inet PTR

OOF CSGO

dropping matchfixers is a smart decision wp dignitas

Well, they'll just pick up a better team in a few months like before. I'm going to go ahead and guess they'll pick up Swole Patrol now that they made esl pro league

Or NoTag since they have insane potential

2018-08-30 00:18

Amen

They are still in mdl

I thought they made it out, there was a big thing where Freak said he would make it back to esl and then I'm pretty sure they did.

I guess I'm wrong, my bad

2018-08-30 00:21

expected but tbh what made dignitas to become full shit was not being able to play with snakes due to shit ESL rules

2018-08-30 00:17

ROFL

Expected

Dignitas HAD a roster? Damn. I thought the org. was parted with csgo

What now? Maybe pick up NoTag if they show results.

not surprised, hope they pick up another team

2018-08-30 00:22

Pick up NoTag

RIP

2018-08-30 00:24

They’ll go for the new French roster if they’re smart

Why not female

2018-08-30 00:27

because they can actually be monetized

2018-08-30 00:31

Idk who watches female esports Anyways if they drop female team they will be attacked for sexism

2018-08-31 20:11

I don't know either, but I also don't know anyone that watches Dignitas play in MDL or where ever they are. But since Dignitas fe are at a higher level RELATIVE to their scene and actually go to some tournaments, I think there are probably more opportunities for sponsors. I mean the main Dignitas team hass just been dead in the water so there's really no point in keeping them. Plus, I don't think anyone would accuse them of sexism. Dropping a team that doesn't make money is just a business decision.

2018-09-01 00:20

female team > male team.

2018-08-30 00:28

Why does every Lithuanian last name end in -as?

BTW: Who will sign the new french team with NBK, apex etc.

Probably SK or Dignitas

Report said Team Vitality

2018-08-30 01:16

I can't believe the same org that won epicenter 2 years ago is the same one that tried a tier 2 NA team

2018-08-30 00:52

dignitas stickers? i aren't ever think that again.

2018-08-30 00:55

Is this a repost???

2018-08-30 00:56

Pete?

They should make a team around fox.

2018-08-30 01:05

Again? Ahahah thats org are so bad dude !

2018-08-30 01:11

Tbh, i didnt even know they got a male roster rn lol

This org needs to shut down, nothing but fucking retarded decisions that lead to signing and shortly after releasing progressively worse squads. They ditched their EU squad to sign a squad in NA. and its only gone downhill from there. If maikelele was an org, he would be Dignitas. Just give up and leave CSGO, ffs.

2018-08-30 01:26

Maikelele played on dignitas LUL

he certainly did, now look where he is. a match made in heaven: a shitty player for a shitty org.

2018-08-30 01:33

What a suprise, wow... :pretends to be shocked:

SHITNITAS

French cs is the future <3

"we thank them" - thanked for wasting their money and time.

2018-08-30 02:04

Yeah fuck male csgo who needs them ;)

2018-08-30 02:08

Just sign EU team. There are a lot of free players You can go with : Cromen Pimp (he wants to go pro again) RUBINO snedker ryxxo Btw i couldn't think any other danish players beside these. Or just go with french team NBK,ZywOo,RPK,Happy,APEX

2018-08-30 02:12

2018-08-30 03:06

dignitas had a csgo team?

2018-08-30 04:20

looks like the players got digni-toss'd

2018-08-30 04:32

Ridiculous what a tier 7 org. They drop fox, they drop Astralis base team, they drop ex-Pain Brazil good rooster, and now they drop Usa and Shinobi team, ridiculous org proving again. Dignitas deserve to be closed , they look to much for profit and less in a long time, ridiculous

2018-08-30 05:14

so now they don't have any CSGO team? ;D

2018-08-30 05:29

I thought you mean digital chaos.Thank god

2018-08-30 05:37

dignitas suck more tier 10

2018-08-30 06:09

I heard EnVyUs want a NA lineup

2018-08-30 06:14

"...with coach Josh "shinobi" Abastado set to transition to an active role on the roster." Yeah, that'll work out really well with his astounding fragging prowess. I realize that a leader can make or break a team, but he's practically the NA Hunden.

2018-08-30 06:29

Hunden competes internationally, I actually think he would do well in NA

2018-08-30 12:04

2018-08-30 13:27

Serves them right for not paying their Danish team enough back in 2016 so they left to join North.

2018-08-30 13:59

Didn't even think they had a men's squad... :l

2018-08-30 14:49

poor ptr

2018-08-30 17:56

Still think that roster with cromen, rubino, fox, jkaen and tenzki would be awesome with the proper time to pratice, they didnt attend a major for like 2 rounds (2-3 score at the end of minor) and they had played for a few months together, they would have such a nice team right now, just had to replace tenzki :) Its a shame an org like this cant find a competitive team.
