Team Dignitas Signs Shiphtur as Mid Laner
Team Dignitas has added another player to their lineup with the signing of mid laner Danny “Shiphtur” Le. Shiphtur’s performance in the Summer split was outstanding, helping the team have a strong start to the season. Although they faced some struggles towards the end, Shiphtur had a solid season statistically, with a 7.23 KDA, the second-best among mid laners in the history of the game. His passive playstyle allowed for big plays, but also caused him to miss some opportunities.
Despite this, Shiphtur is still regarded as one of the top mid players in America. “I’m happy to be a part of Team Dignitas again,” Shiphtur said. “I feel like I can play a stronger game and plan to practice very hard between now and January.”
Team Dignitas hopes to find success this year with three returning players: Alberto “Crumbzz” Rengifo in the jungle, Le in the mid lane, and Alan “KiWiKiD” Nguyen at support. Rengifo will take over as captain, bringing a more focused approach to the team.
The team has also announced that they will be holding tryouts to find a replacement for long-time marksman Michael “Imaqtpie” Santana, the last remaining member of the original Dignitas team. With the return of Shiphtur and the departure of Santana and former mid laner and coach William “Scarra” Li, Team Dignitas is undergoing a changing of the guard. It’s now Rengifo and Le’s show, and this season will determine how far they can take the team.
