Dignitas Team Stats and Latest Results

Dignitas didn’t have to play qualification games to make it to this tournament, not to participate in the group phase as they received a playoff invitation. Still, a bit rusty after not playing a single match since mid-December, the Swedish team could have problems with the in-form Sinners on Thursday. Dignitas’ latest match was against Gambit at the MIDNITE Nine to Five 7, the game which they lost and ended the tournament in 4th place. Dignitas lost nine of the previous 15 matches.

When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Dignitas was above average only on Nuke (60.0% win rate), while they failed to impress on Inferno (20.0%), Overpass (33.3%), and Train (33.3%). Even though they are playing with the same lineup since October 2020, Dignitas appeared on just 33 maps with it and recorded 15 wins and 18 losses. The team members are f0rest (1.02 rating), friberg (0.87), hallzerk (1.09), H4RR3 (0.96), and HEAP (1.03).

Dignitas vs. Sinners Betting Preview

Even though Sinners are playing with a relatively inexperienced side in terms of playing together, I have been impressed with their displays lately. Dignitas didn’t play for a month and I am pretty sure they will need time to get back into the rhythm, so backing Sinners to cover a +1.5 handicap at -217 seems like a sure shot. However, I am going to back the Czech team to get a win in this one as I think they will continue to impress.
