Having played as a stand-in for several games, Universe was bound to be added to the team. After TI 2, Universe left EG and stood in for former Quantic, that disbanded shortly afterwards. He has been teamless since then and stood in for several teams, even EG, but he has now found a new home.
Seeing as dignitas already has two supports, it is unlikely that Universe will play support again,and he has shown during his intermezzo with Quantic that he is capable of taking on a more farm dependent role.
Statement by Saahil 'Universe' Arora:
"I’m really excited to get back into competitive Dota again and to do it with Team Dignitas. They’re a premier western organization and it’s great to play under such a big name. I’ve played with the Dota team for a while now and they’re great, fun guys to play with and we all work well together. I look forward to improving together as a team and showing great results. Thanks to Team Dignitas, all our new sponsors and everyone that’s supported me along the way. Shoutout to Aubrey"

Statement by Charlie 'Monolith' Yang, Team Dignitas DotA Manager:
"We’re really blessed to have Universe on our team, he’s a high level player that has a lot of experience in competitive Dota and fits in with our lineup well. He was the obvious pickup for good reasons and proved that even more during our time practicing together. We look to increase practice time as the year goes on as much as we can and we’re glad Universe can be a part of that."
