In a meta defined by power-farming picks like Udyr and Olaf, Dardoch has not only ignored the latter of the two best jungle champions but has also shown that a willingness to be more flexible than his peers can give Dignitas the edge it needs to exceed expectations throughout the start of the 2021 LCS Spring Split.
Before the start of the Summer Split, V1per joined Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss his benching on FlyQuest, joining Dignitas, and how the dynamic of his new environment is helping him find his footing.
Dignitas snapped its losing streak against 100 Thieves to start Week 4 of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split. The team got off to a hot 3-0 start, but then lost as many games in succession as other teams in the LCS began to synergize. DIG went back to the drawing board and got creative to get itself out of its funk. Ornn was drafted for Mid Laner Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, and Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon threw the LCS a curveball by locking in the infamous top lane Soraka. Dignitas' trust in innovation paid off, rallying around the Miss Fortune of rookie AD Carry Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen for the team's fourth victory of the season. After besting 100 Thieves, Huni sat down with Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss the team's adjustments heading into Week 4, top lane mages, and DIG's identity amongst its LCS peers.
Froggen spoke to Inven Global's Nick Geracie about his 2019 season with Golden Guardians, joining Dignitas, and the team's strong start in the 2020 LCS season.
