Psalm further cements esports legacy as Team Dignitas sign “Homeless” Valorant roster

A couple of months into Valorant, and the initial post-launch team signing frenzy is starting to calm down. However, one more major esports org has now joined the fight.

With their presence in League of Legends already well established, it only made sense that Team Dignitas would eventually make the move into Riot’s latest title. In the official press release, Director of Esports James Baker was quoted as saying:

“The esport (Valorant) is primed for success, backed by the most successful developer in competitive gaming, coupled with gameplay full of exciting moments. We are aiming to continue our legacy of developing top performing teams that command an army of fans worldwide. With our roster of both veterans and up and coming stars, we are solidifying our position as a World leader in the competitive gaming space.”

Dignitas has taken on four members of the roster previously competing under the team name “Homeless”. Rory "dephh" Jackson, Harrison “psalm” Chang, Phat “Supamen” Le and Phat “Poised” Le are the pros in question. A fifth player is set to be announced soon to round out the squad.

As a group, the new Dignitas boys have a more diverse background in esports than just about any of their rivals. Both dephh and Poised came from CS:GO, the former having multiple years of experience at the highest level. Supamen meanwhile is known amongst CrossFire fans as one of the best to ever touch the game.

After retiring from Fortnite back in April, Psalm told supporters, “My dream is to be the most decorated competitor in gaming history”.

On top of a $1.8m second place finish in the Fortnite World Cup, his impressive list of accomplishments includes; Top 70 Overwatch S1 ladder and Global Elite rank in CS:GO as well as being one of the top Heroes of the Storm players in NA.

The team have already been somewhat successful in Valorant, and certainly have the talent to take things to another level under the Dignitas brand. They will get their first real test at Pop Flash Ignition series tournament next week.
