From the official announcement.
A few weeks ago we announced the departure of Sneyking from our DotA 2 team, which left us with a mission to find a new player and strengthen our lineup for 2013. After several weeks of trialing players, our squad has now decided on our latest addition.
Please give Saahil 'Universe' Arora a warm welcome to our team. He has been competing at the top for quite a while, placing top eight at The International 1 and taking a top three placement at Dreamhack. We are confident that he'll make a great addition to our squad and organisation.
With our lineup being complete again, we look forward to a great year. Come back to our site for the latest team updates from our DotA 2 squad.
Welcome Universe and best of luck!
Statement from the man himself
"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"
And a statement from Charlie Yang, the 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."
Great addition to the team, always been a strong part of any lineup he's on and it's curious he hasn't been officially involved with any teams for so long. No real surprise that it's Dignitas I suppose but no matter, hopefully he brings some experience to the team for LANs when it's needed. |

| Love dignitas, and I like Universe, so I'm pretty happy about this. Super sad about Sneyking still obviously, but I still have his stream to enjoy. NA DOTA |
| | Well, judging by the supply Jaehoon is still 4 supply ahead, clearly he raped face in that battle. -Sayle 23:10 Cranium: the way i would fix SC2 23:10 Cranium: is i would tell them 23:10 Cranium: to remove everything stupid | |

What will his role be? I can't read the article at work.
I hope he's not a 4/5 again like in EG but rather a 2 or 3 instead. |

It doesn't say explicitly but since Sneyking typically played the 3 maybe he will shift into that. I'm curious how they will divvy up roles too if any of it will change or not. |

| Universe is one of those players that is truly good at every role. Thats what makes him on of my favorite players to watch. Hopefully he can find a good home at Dignitas. |
