Team Dignitas drops entire CS: GO roster, players to sign with F.C. Copenhagen

It seems that players from Team Dignitas’ former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster will sign with Danish football club F.C. Copenhagen (FCK), sources said. The news come one day after the shock caused by Dignitas announcing they’re parting ways with CS: GO Danish squad to field NA-based one instead.

Team Dignitas, now acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers, announced it would not field its Danish CS:GO roster in 2017. The Danes, currently in top form, had just qualified for the next Major and are looking poised to make a deep run at the $1 million event. Today it appears to be that from 2017 onwards, Rene “cajunb” Borg, Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke, Mathias “MSL” Lauridsen, Ruben “rubino” Villarroel, Emil “Magisk” Reif, and their coach Casper “Ruggah” Due, will apparently take the stage in F.C. Copenhagen’s jerseys.

The record-winning football club and reigning champion in Denmark’s Superliga has announced its foray into esports today. The club wants to invest a double-digit million figure in Danish Krone annually, and field teams inFIFA, CS:GO, and Dota 2. 

The official announcement is expected for in January next year, when the contracts with Dignitas have officially expired. The team is expected to wear the club’s jerseys for both WeSG and ELEAGUE events already.
