Dignitas объявила о слиянии с Clutch Gaming

After some time away from the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), Dignitas returns by way of a merger with Clutch Gaming. This will result in Dignitas helping to manage and run Clutch Gaming while the brand maintains its identity throughout the year. At the start of 2020, they will then adopt the name Dignitas moving forward.

Owned by the Houston Rockets, Clutch Gaming also happens to be one of the first four organizations to join the LCS in 2018 when it began franchising. At the time, Dignitas also applied for a spot in the NA LCS but was denied by Riot Games. This came as a surprise since Dignitas has participated in competitive League of Legends since 2011 and was a founding NA LCS team in 2013.

Considering the NBA team, Philadelphia 76ers own a controlling stake in Dignitas, this merger will mean the resulting esports organization will have the support of two successful sports and entertainment companies. The Houston Rockets will retain a minority partner status.
