Dignitas fe pick up showliana to complete roster
After fielding Carolyn "artStar" Noquez as a stand-in for DreamHack Showdown Summer, Dignitas fe have settled on a new permanent fifth for their roster going forward, none other than Brazilian veteran Juliana "showliana" Maransaldi.
showliana played for paiN Girls, OpTic Brasil, and Keyd Stars fe amongst many other teams in her storied career that has spanned Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Counter Strike 1.6. She will now bolster a roster that once stood in her way, in hopes of winning high profile championships that eluded her previously.
Heather "sapphiRe" Garozzo, Director of Fan Engagement for Dignitas, provided the following statement to Dust2.us:
This is a pivotal moment for both our Women's team and Dignitas. We spent months trying out players from North America and couldn't find the right fit. We knew we had to expand our search. The Dignitas management agreed that we shouldn't be restricted by borders to ensure we found the best possible fit.
Later this year, showliana will move to Los Angeles to compete alongside our team and we hope that this move will result in more trophies for our DIG Fe roster.
Emmalee "EMUHLEET" Garrido also confirmed on Twitter in the ensuing excitement that her husband, David "Xp3" Garrido, will seemingly continue to coach the team in addition to his duties to the Complexity VALORANT team.
Dignitas fe's roster is now:
- Emmalee "EMUHLEET" Garrido
- Amanda "rain" Smith
- Kiara "milk" Makua
- Melisa "Theia" Mundorff
- Juliana "showliana" Maransaldi
- David "Xp3" Garrido (Coach)
With a full roster, Dignitas fe will now prepare for ESEA Main Season 35, set to start on August 31st.
