Players from the UK and Ireland get the chance to become part of Team Dignitas, playing alongside the Swedish world-class player Jeffrey 'SjoW' Brusi. The team holds two online qualifiers, with a big final being played in London.
The goal of Team Dignitas is to find a young talented StarCraft 2 player for their team. He would participate in all LANs going on in the UK in 2011.
Players that are eligible to participate in the "Gamer Search" must hold British or Irish nationality as well as be located in the region. The first qualifier will start on Sunday, March 13th at 20:00 CET.
The top four players of each qualification cup will get a spot in the grand final, which will be held at HMV Gamerbase Trocdero in London on Sunday, March 27th 2011. In addition to the prize pool of £1,950 and some hardware prizes, there is a contract with the team on the line, however, it is not necessarily the victor of the tournament who will be contracted. The finals will be commentated by John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain and Shaun 'Apollo' Clark.
Only recently, we have seen the German organization mousesports pick up two young talents by letting eight players fight each other in a 8-man tournament. Patrick 'Lomo' van Rossum and Duc 'Syck' Pham Trung impressed the management with their talent and manners, and therefore have received a contract with the team.
