Dignitas had an unfortunate series against SlayerS and will be looking for redemption here in Losers Round 1. With proven players like SeleCT and Sjow, and newer players like BlinG and DreAm, they stand a fighting chance to take down anyone. Millenium has a solid roster with an incredible anchor in Stephano. This match may likely rest on his shoulders, so we will see if he and his teammates can live up to the pressure. Here are their full rosters:
