Prior to this move, the 24-year-old spent two years with MAD Lions.<\/p>\n<p>The other members of the team are jungler Lucas &#8220;Santorin&#8221; Tao Kilmer Larsen, mid laner Nicolai &#8220;Jensen&#8221; Jensen, ADC Trevor &#8220;Spawn&#8221; Kerr-Taylor, and support Lee &#8220;IgNar&#8221; Dong-geun.<\/p>\n<p>Dignitas have been making significant changes to their LOL roster since returning to the LCS in 2020. They have made a shift in recent years by signing high-profile names.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Dignitas struggled to achieve success despite signing talented players like Heo &#8220;Huni&#8221; Seung-hoon and Kim &#8220;River&#8221; Dong-woo. This year, the organization has invested a significant amount of money in building the current team.<\/p>\n<p>The only returning member of the Dignitas roster for the 2023 season is Spawn, a Canadian player who was subbed in for To\u00e0n &#8220;Neo&#8221; Tr\u1ea7n during the 2022 Summer Split. This will be his first full year in North America&#8217;s premier league, having made his way from Dignitas Academy.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Santorin was a teammate of Jensen at Team Liquid, and in 2020 he played at FlyQuest with IgNar, leading the team to back-to-back finals and a strong showing at the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/league-of-legends\/worlds\/\" title=\"LoL Worlds betting\">LOL World Championship<\/a> as North America&#8217;s second seed. <\/p>\n<p>To make room for the new additions, Dignitas released three members of their 2022 LOL roster: top laner Lee &#8220;Hoon&#8221; Jang-hoon, jungler Lawrence &#8220;Exyu&#8221; Xu, and support Vincent &#8220;Biofrost&#8221; Wang. In November, the franchise parted ways with Ersin &#8220;Blue&#8221; Goren and also strategic coach Joshua &#8220;Mabrey&#8221; Mabrey, who has found a new home with Immortals.<\/p>\n<p>The new Dignitas roster will make its debut as a unit in the 2023 LCS Spring Split, which is scheduled to commence on January 26.<br \/>\n\u2028<br \/>\n\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, Dignitas announced the signing of four new players to complete their League of Legends roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":26947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1321,4,261,24],"class_list":["post-26946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dignitas","tag-featured","tag-lcs","tag-league-of-legends"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26946"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26946"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26946\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26950,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26946\/revisions\/26950"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
