Dignitas have announced that they will no longer field a roster in CS:GO “for the foreseeable future,” the second time the organization will be without a roster in the title for an extended period after they skipped out on fielding a team in 2019.
The news comes just over a month after the organization transfer listed its entire lineup, stating at the time that it wished to build a “compelling roster that will compete for titles.”

Dignitas have taken their leave from CS:GO for the foreseeable future
That new roster could have included players that were already a part of Dignitas, but the lineup iterations they explored have seemingly failed to bare fruit, with the organization now parting ways with the players who will be allowed to explore their options. As a result, all of the CS:GO staff have been released, including the players, coaching staff, team manager, and social media manager.
In their time together, the Dignitas roster hovered just outside of the top 20, consistently being a presence in tournaments but failing to secure any title wins short of qualifying for BLAST Premier Showdowns by winning Nordic Masters tournaments. Their few appearances in top tier events were also dismal, with the team missing out on qualifying for both PGL Major Antwerp and Major Stockholm following early exits in the RMR events.
The release of the team marks the first time that Counter-Strike legend Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg will be without a team in his professional career, which dates back to 2004. He most recently stepped in for fnatic in their Pinnacle Cup Championship campaign, where the team were eliminated in 5-6th.
Dignitas‘ roster was:
Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg
Håkon “hallzerk” Fjærli
Faruk “pita” Pita (coach)
