About Dignitas

Dignitas (formerly Team Dignitas) is a professional esports organization based in Newark, New Jersey, founded by Michael "ODEE" O'Dell on 9 September 2003 when Battlefield 1942 clans merged. Dignitas was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers in September 2016. The team has a rich history across many different esports, but is best known for its League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squads.
The organization rebranded in October 2018, dropping "Team" from its name and replacing its old logo with an owlhead logo. In September 2019, Dignitas formed a new parent company, New Meta Entertainment (NME), a digital sports and entertainment company operating in three primary verticals: esports teams, content and marketing, and investments. Michael Prindiville is the CEO of New Meta Entertainment.
