he ex-SK youngster Emil “Magiskb0Y” Reif signed with Dignitas and will be replacing Jesper “TENZKI” Plougmann after the Danish team lost some of the inertia from their irruption in and around the top 10 at the beginning of the year. The changes come after a poor performance at ESL One Cologne 2016, where the Danish team were knocked out of the group stages by a stand-in addled Astralis who were playing with Danny “zonic” Sørensen and Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander in the group’s decider match. Magiskb0Y will fight to put Dignitas back on the map Emil “Magiskb0Y” Reif’s statement to Dignitas:

“I am pleased to announce that I’ll be signing with Team Dignitas, I cannot wait to begin this new chapter in my career. Team Dignitas is a team that has consistently played at the top level for a very long time and as of late, they have been extremely close to making the top 8 at a Major. “I believe that they need a final push to be able to do so and I am confident that I am the one to help them achieve that. I am so thankful to be given this opportunity from Team Dignitas and I look forward to proving myself as one of the top players in the world, they are putting a lot of faith in me so I will do whatever I need to to not let them down. My LAN debut with the team will be at POWER LAN in Denmark at the end of August. Until then, GODIGGY!”

The next offline event in the schedule where the new rifler will be on parade will be the POWER LAN in Denmark, which is scheduled in late August. This move leaves Dignitas with the following lineup:
