LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dignitas, the
esports vertical of New Meta Entertainment, Inc. (NME) have been
crowned champions at the BMW Rocket League Open. Dignitas, having
won one world championship, two European Championships, a European
Regional and four Major tournament wins since the organization's
foray into the game in 2018, is known today as the most decorated
organization in competitive Rocket League.
The Dignitas Rocket League team, consisting of Joris "Joreuz"
Robben, Jack "ApparentlyJack" Benton, and Kyle "Scrub Killa"
Robertsen have quickly made a name for themselves as a strong
up-and-coming squad, challenging top contender teams since the
current roster's formation in August of this year. Joreuz, age 16,
has quickly risen to fame as one of the strongest young players in
the professional scene. ApparentlyJack, age 18, has made a name for
himself as the fastest growing influencer in the RLCS, while former
World Champion Scrub Killa, age 18, has turned heads as he
continues to tell the story of his resurgence back to the top. For
Dignitas Rocket League player Scrub Killa, this win marks a strong
comeback after defeating his former team and Dignitas rival Team
Vitality as well as defeating defending European champions Team
BDS.
Rocket League, the popular vehicular soccer esport from Psyonix,
continues to grow Dignitas' die-hard fan bases both in Europe and North
America. Through combining competitive accolades with a
roster of top-tier Rocket League influencers such as Jessie,
Herculyse, TigerQueen, and Maximus, Dignitas has solidified itself
as the strongest global brand in Rocket League. With key focuses on
vehicles, petrol, tires, and automotive accessories, Dignitas is
paving the way for new brands to meaningfully activate within the
gaming and esports industry through their championship-winning
Rocket League team. Ahead of the Stockholm Fall Major, Dignitas
hopes to work alongside additional partners to bring their brands
to life in Stockholm next month
and throughout 2022.
