La structure anglaise Dignitas se décide à tenter l'aventure CS:GO en recrutant l'équipe évoluant sous le tag Torqued, menée par le canadien Joshua "Steel" Nissan.
La fermeture brutale de la stucture allemande mTw laissa leur line-up CS:GO sur le carreau. Le temps de rebondir et de trouver une nouvelle organisation, les joueurs décidèrent d'adopter le nom de Torqued. Mais la tâche s'avérait difficile suite aux départ d'Andreas "MODDII" Fridh et de Lasse "stingeR" Midtstue, tout deux rejoignant fnatic. Et celui d'Andre "nooky" Utesch en direction de mousesport.
Se retrouvant à deux, Joshua "Steel" Nissan et George "hudzG" Hoskins ne lâchèrent pas l'affaire, en recrutant deux jeunes anglais prometteurs : Tom "vertiGo" Rockliffe et Somprasert "som" Haddow, tout deux venant des London Lynx. Enfin, James "PEZ" Perrot complète la formation, joueur expérimenté étant passé par FRAGMASTER TOXiC et Infused.
Voici la déclaration du capitaine George "hudzG" Hoskins :
Since leaving mTw, I am happy to be part of such a strong organisation once again. After mTw liquidated, myself and ODEE have been talking a lot about our views and goals and we are happy that we have come to an agreement.
It has always been a personal goal of mine to represent Team Dignitas and I'm happy that I have the chance to do so. We have put together a team that in time, has a lot of potential to reach our goals that we have set for ourselves. I am happy and excited to see how the players excel in the right enviroment with a great management team behind them. Our goals right now are Multiplay's i48 and hopefully ESH Birmingham, as well as various online tournaments we are looking to enter.
I would like to thank Lasse , Andreas and Wez for the time we spent together. It is with much regret that we never managed to get to a tournament, but I hope Lasse & Andreas do well at their new home and Wez with his last year of university.
Team Dignitas strives itself on professionalism, commitment and stability and I feel that these players have all of those qualities, and more. Thank you to our sponsors intel, Scan, Alienware, Kingston, Killer, Qpad, Twitch, Multiplay, Creative, Western Digital, iiyama, Antec and Team Dignitas's management for believing in this project and we will do our best to put Team Dignitas firmly on the map of CS:GO.
Nous les retrouverons donc à leur première sortie en lan lors du Multiplay's i48 et de l'E-sport Heaven Birmingham.
Pour finir, Dignitas c'est :
Joshua "Steel" Nissan
George "hudzG" Hoskins
Tom "vertiGo" Rockliffe
Somprasert "som" Haddow
