Team Dignitas is an International e-Sports team which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. It was founded on 9 September 2003 as a fusion of the Battlefield 1942 clans Legion Condor and Sweden Kompanix and it was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers in September 2016. While the clan began as a pure Battlefield clan in the beginning, it has since expanded into a wider range of games. In July 2004, Team Dignitas was registered as a company: Team Dignitas Ltd. The Managing Director is Michael "ODEE" O'Dell. Team Dignitas League of Legends team formerly competed in the North American League of Legends Championship Series.
Unlike other major gaming teams, Dignitas is known to also support games that are less popular or have smaller communities. Currently, the organization has teams competing in the following games:
In 2006 the Battlefield 2 team was chosen as the Battlefield 2 Team of the Year by Geeksnet.org. In May 2007 the British scene page UKCounterTerrorist.com put the Counter-Strike 1.6 team as number one in Britain. By winning the first official international Enemy Territory: Quake Wars tournament at QuakeCon2007 the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars team gained the fame as the best team in the world. The World in Conflict team of Team Dignitas was nominated for the eSports Award 2007 as "eSport Team of the Year". In early 2008, the team's French FIFA player Maxime "Aghaton" Paulet was chosen as the Best French FIFA 07 player by the French community site FIFAFever.com. Towards the end of 2008, Cadred.org chose their Counter-Strike: Source team was recognized as the best European team, and won the award for best overall team. In early 2009, Dignitas' Call of Duty 4 and the Team Fortress 2 teams both managed to place first in Cadred.org's European rankings for three consecutive months.
