Dignitas is an international esports organization that hosts one of the most recognizable brands in professional gaming, with teams in various games such as League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Rocket League. They are most known for their Counter-Strike project, which includes Esports legends such as Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund. Their League of Legends roster is also well-known as one of the most historic teams in the LCS. Now, after 7 years since the start of the LCS, they once again join one of Riot’s games, this time, VALORANT.

Homeless’ roster are the ones that find a home at DIG, with players Rory "dephh" Jackson, Harrison "psalm" Chang, Phat "supamen" Le, and Kevin "POISED" Ngo, after a playoff run at Knights Invitational Gauntlet Series where they played with Leonardo "Laski" Arroyo, and ended up placing 5-6th.

Psalm is the star of the show, coming from Fortnite, where he came second in 2019’s Solo World Cup Finals. Prior to Fortnite, Psalm was a Heroes of the Storm professional, playing under Tempo Storm. He is known for his precise aim and unusual playstyle, with the rare ability to play agents like Viper to a high level. Before his time with homeless, he was the top performer in Equinox Esports, and even played under FaZe Clan for the T1 x NSG Showdown.

Supamen is the other star, with a strange history, coming from CrossFire where he had been banned, not for cheating but for attempting to steal keyboards. Even with the ban, he was known as one of the best CrossFire players due to his consistent fragging power and insane aim. He translated a lot of the skills he learned into VALORANT, where he has averaged a 1.19 KD and 242 ACS.

Dephh is the only non-North American of the squad, hailing from the United Kingdom, he is the squad’s leader. The Brit has quite a history in Counter-Strike, being the second player to obtain a P-1 Athletic Visa in the game, and also being the first Brit to reach the playoffs of a major in Global Offensive. A majority of dephh’s career was in Complexity where he played alongside Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan and Hunter "SicK" Mims. In VALORANT, he has played under Destined and Echo 8, but also played alongside Psalm with FaZe Clan for the T1 x NSG Showdown.

The fourth and final player is Poised, who was an unknown quantity before VALORANT, playing in low tier North American Counter-Strike. He was spotted playing alongside Me n my Dawgs in the CLG BLITZ CUP #2 where he had a strong showing. He also played with Team Underrated where his Brimstone’s fragging power would carry the team through games. After strong early showings, he found himself playing Sage for Homeless and now joins Dignitas.

Dignitas’ new squad is comprised of:

United States Harrison "psalm" Chang United States Phat "supamen" Le United Kingdom Rory "dephh" Jackson Canada Kevin "Poised" Ngo
