ESL One
Cologne 2015 Lan Qualifier.
Dignitas is
one of the teams who currently could upset some of the established teams, and
maybe even push into a top#8. One of the most prestigious tournaments ESL One
Cologne is one of the places where a team such as Dignitas could make a case
for themselves against the top teams as the fellow Danes from TSM as well as
fnatic, NiP, EnvyUS, Virtus Pro and NaVi. However, in order to so they have to
qualify in the lan qualifier where they must battle Kinguin, FlipSid3,
Property, PiTER, KILLERFISH, PENTA and OverGaming the later being their first
challenge in the qualifier.
In the matchup against their first opponent OverGaming, who haven’t had that impressive results against other Spanish teams, they were clear favorites and aside from the team having been on vacation it was expected that Dignitas would be taking a win.

With the format being Bo1 they ended up on Dust2, and with Dignitas starting as T just edging out the pistol and the following 2 rounds. During the first buy round OverGaming manged to put up an impressive CT side, and holding the pushes from Dignitas, who seemed a bit rusty and uncoordinated and sloppy. By this it was mainly pure aimduels without setting up trade kills, smokes with big gaps and an issue which they have had for a long time – Not buying molotovs, which was something Pimp talked about on Counter Points with Thooorin and Lurppis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5euxmZ6SOyI), and that is something that Dignitas must work with if they want to climb the ranking ladder.
After calling a pause at 3-8 they managed to shape up and edge out a decent 6-9 score as T on Dust2.
As CTs they look more like the Dignitas which was putting pressure on Titan, EnvyUS and NiP at the last Gfninty Summer Masters, and the managed to take 10 rounds without dropping one to OverGaming. As well as having a much better CT side performance it did also look like OverGaming was struggling quite a bit with their T side.
