Another big name decides to take a stab at the burgeoning Overwatch eSports scene as Team Dignitas has announced that it has signed Creation eSports onto its roster.<\/p>\n
While there are already a number of big name eSports teams taking on Overwatch, Dignitas is one of those names in eSports that play a considerable role in the appeal of particular games. Many other teams will be watching Dignitas \u2013 alongside the likes of Fnatic, Team Liquid and Cloud9 \u2013 to find out just how viable Blizzard\u2019s FPS will turn out.<\/p>\n
In the announcement, Team Dignitas drew attention to the ESL Overwatch Atlantic Showdown, the finals of which are happening at Gamescom this week. With a prize pool of $100,000 on the line, this is a tactical hire for Dignitas, who now has minimal work for potential big win.<\/p>\n
The EU squad will go on to compete in further Overwatch tournaments, though there aren\u2019t so many Premier tournaments right now.<\/p>\n
