Rebranded, then rebuilt: Team Dignitas adapts offstage and on to make NA LCS semifinals

The Team Dignitas that got a 3-1 win against Cloud9 and will face Team SoloMid on Sunday isn't the same team that re-entered the North American League of Legends Championship Series at the start of 2017. Its transformation from the Spring Split to now was slow, with many sensitive pieces, and the biggest moves came from a quick adaptation to patches and a roster overhaul.

When Team Dignitas first came back to the NA LCS under the Philadelphia 76ers banner, it did so with a splash.

The team shed its typically mediocre to relegation-level rosters for star pickups in top laner Kim "Ssumday" Chanho and jungler Lee "Chaser" Sanghyun, players praised in South Korea who were at one point referred to as the best in the world at their respective roles.
