With high hopes and expectations, Team Dignitas' LoL roster is solidified and goals for 2014 are already being set by the team. After having recruited Erling 'Vlanitak' Krohn as an analyst earlier in the year, he will now start residing with the team in their training facility based out of Los Angeles to ensure that the team is prepared for anything their opponents in the LCS has in store for them.
The biggest change is, obviously, however that the team's former support player Jordan 'Patoy' Blackburn has transitioned from his starter position to that of a substitute and will no longer compete with the team regularly. His starter position has been claimed by Dignitas' former toplaner Alan 'Kiwikid' Nguyen who's transitioned to the support role permanently, his role will in turn be filled by Cruz 'CruzertheBruzer' Ogden. Going by the press release issued by Team Dignitas, the current iteration of the team is working well together and no further changes to the lineup will occur until Season 4 commences.
Team Dignitas' midlaner and captain, William 'Scarra' Li gave a brief statement on how the team are approaching their poor result at the Battle of the Atlantic and how they will turn their fortunes around by the time LCS Season 4 Spring Split commenes.
After a poor showing at Battle of the Atlantic, we've decided that rather than do a roster change, we're going to utilize our 6th man more effectively. This means we're flying out our analyst starting january to live with us full time at the dig house so we can be fully prepared going into this LCS season.
