Tanner Damonte Joins Dignitas’ Academy Roster
Tanner Damonte, a talented mid laner in the North American League of Legends scene, has officially joined Dignitas’ Academy roster for the upcoming year. This comes after uncertainty about his future as a free agent during the 2019 offseason.
Concerns Surrounding Resident Mid Laners
When Dignitas declined to exercise the second year option on Damonte’s contract, it raised concerns about the fate of NA’s homegrown mid lane talent. Many questioned the preference for importing players instead of giving resident mid laners like Damonte the opportunity to prove themselves.

Impressive Performance in 2019
Throughout the 2019 Spring and Summer Splits, Damonte displayed great potential, helping lead Clutch Gaming to their first World Championship appearance. In the 2019 LCS Regional Gauntlet, he boasted a 4.0 KDA with a 50 percent first blood rate.

Although Damonte’s performance at Worlds was not outstanding, the entire team struggled to find success. Now, as part of Dignitas’ Academy team, he joins other talented NA mid laners with immense potential. The question remains whether he can continue to grow and excel at the Academy level.
Promising Future with Dignitas
While Dignitas still needs to fill a few more spots on their Academy team, there is optimism for fans of Tanner Damonte. If he can outperform his competition, he may have the opportunity to secure a starting spot on the main roster.
