Scarlett opening. I've heard Scarlett is really good. Can Dignitas take a game?

Should SeleCt and merz still be part of the roster ?
I guess this was played after their retirement, you probably need to fix that. :<

Dignitas might need to use Apollo at some point when you think about it haha

Yeah actually if you remove merz, Select and Apollo, dignitas has only 5 players, too.

If this goes to the ace match, both teams had to user all their players.

Didn't they use him once in a previous edition? I think I remember something like this. Almost as fun as when Karont3 played their manager in a match or when Fnatic used Xeris in an ace match in EG Master's Cup because Fenix was asleep or something.
