A documentary on the history of one of League of Legends strangest and most fun teams to follow - Dignitas. Dignitas has been a staple of the history of the league of legends pro scene for years now. Stretching back from their days on Rock Solid to their more modern rosters of the LCS era, we examine a deep historical dive on the beautiful and funny moments of this great league of legends team.

Voyboy was only 15 and looked like 30
Tfw he actually was a kid back then
It's the beard, isn't it?
@@VhAaLmEmNeTrIlN he's still THE kid
12:56 they say that you're fine and you just say that you are fine but you're not fine
no more like he looked the same all through out ... the years..
What an amazing video, almost got emotional watching the journey. I appreciate you telling our story.
The good old boys
Wow first

"u guys wanna baron?"
"lol alright"
"we win every game until we don't" ~ scarra, every baron throw, dignitas.
What time is this
Baron: Exists
Dignitas: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
lmao can someone post a timestamp please?
@@malachitea5055 starts around 52 min
I always had respect for scarra as a generally likeable dude with some neat strats for the time but the fact he bought a champ to play in a tournament the next day is nothing short of legendary for the time.
he didnt buy a champ he grinded for it
feels like I watched a movie, thats how good the production value is.
Man i even cried at the end
We are blessed to have TH-camrs like Exil and Gbay for this high quality type of content.
I dont know why gbay doesn't turn to some other platform than youtube and all, as much as we love his content, I feel like he could go so much further and accomplish more along this journey
@@jonescome-upon5574 thats true, but he does this, on this platform because he doesn t need glory or fame, he loves his comunity and thats more valueable than fame and money
@@nathanvanlent9407 i got moved to eyeball sweat several times. This is prob geebs best yet man....whew.
Fun bits missing in this documentary:
When IWillDominate got banned, Imaqtpie was also about to get banned, but Scarra convinced Riot that QT was autistic, in order for him to escape the ban hammer.
Allegedly Digs worlds run was sabotaged by Dyrus who leaked Digs strats to the opposition.
After underperforming in Top lane, Dignitas wanted to cut KiwiKid but QTpie convinced them to instead move him to the support role.
Scarra retired because he felt he couldnt perform at the top level anymore.
QTpie retired because the LCS and Dig moved into a more "serious" direction and QTpie only wanted to play with "friends" while being on a competitive team.
Canoke Tassos scarra convincing riot qt is autistic is so funny, and I can’t figure out why.
@@juancena6432 Holy shit I couldn't hold my laughter reading that scarra convinced riot hq that qt is autistic god just imagining that makes me laugh
Synth Pretty hilarious indeed
I mean on the second point, it's not much alleged about it. Dyrus did leak the strats and you can see the enemy team in dig's game pinging out their early game jungle pathing before they do it iirc. DIG probably weren't going to win the whole worlds run but leaking strats certainly had an effect.
IIRC dyrus even apologized for that, more than once too.
Me: "Ah yes a video on league of legends"
>2 seconds later
Gbay: "Much like the ancient Roman Empire...."
i've learned to always check video lenght when its gbay99 channel BEFORE getting into it.
Dignitas: Communism will win, just like it overthrew the classist Roman Empire! ... ???
Me: Wow, I never knew league was sucha political statement. Who woulda thought tournaments were actually the people's revolution.
Oh man the example is wrong in so many ways... And historically false on every point... Even the painting itself has nothing to do with thé Romans, and the Roman Empire had nothing to do with the class system...
@@Cancoillotteman okay nerd
"Lets go ahead and meet Jatt's replacement"
>Shows IWillDominate
Oh boi
you mad?
@@thoticcusprime9309 Thanks for showing the type of people that like that guy lol.
@@muffy7323 IWD aint bad he is an OG. I dont understand the hate he gets
@@igson-in4rd got banned for toxicity. Just because he’s an og doesn’t mean he can’t be bad. Reginald is an og but he’s a bad player.
@@thoticcusprime9309 IWD might‘ve been a bit toxic in the day, but he‘s a real homie now. You should watch his content now, he‘s chill af .
COUPLE OF ERRORS MADE:
-Voyboy left Dig before their trip to Korea, I talk about it after
-The King of the Hill series was hosted by WellPlayed (not "Rampage") and actually started while Dig was still Rock Solid
-The picture I use of CoreJJ is actually Ruler and not CoreJJ cause I'm a big dummy lmao
-IT WAS COLLUSION LUL
Youre wacky just like Dig dad
kekw
Very good video gbay, keep up the good work
So does this mean you're going to do a similar video to this on UOL? They're kinda the EU version of Dig.
gbay go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The thing I love about the old version of Dignitas, is that they were a group of friends that played league together, and coincidentally were really good at it. They were always joking around, having fun, which made league itself look like a fun game as well.
They were what most people who play league want to accomplish, being great at the game while also having tons of fun doing so.
Exactly why Dignitas is always my favourite esports team. Watching players like Voyboy, Qtpie etc all just tear up the competitive scene while messing around and having fun as friends...It was contagious. I bought an esports jersey from that era and I still love it
Like G2 actually now that you mentioned it! xD
UoL & Moscow 5 had very similar vibes
C9 definitely did its best to continue that legacy
thats what old generation esports was all about, man. you get some friends together and just see how far you can go. there was a time where it wasnt a solo adventure.
people who didnt live it/see it will never understand how special the start of esports was. i am so lucky to have a father who was connected to it when i was young and i got to see all these evolutions from the world championship being held in smokey basements in front of 10 people to packing out stadiums to watch cs or league.
it was a special amazing time. i am so PROUD of where esports is today, and i pray for it to have a long healthy life and become intertwined with society like tradational sports. but i will always miss the start. you had to be there to really understand why so many 40 year old men still get emotional when they see a classic SpawN clip today lol. it was truely a different time.
Seeing scarra as a pro is so cool
Hes my fav lol player ever
5:55 Thats a next level of "Trying the new champion I just bought"
saving league of legends, one baron throw at a time ☺️

"He's also 6 foot 4. and rows for UC Davis"
Came here to find the comment, I knew someone would’ve made it.
True OG's know this reference
Narumi(L) I’m pretty sure this meme came about during doms streaming era which is well after the “true OG” days...

God these documentaries become better and better, I really love this channel
the heck, why is this one hour video so good
We have a saying in my country, "it was so good, I watched it in one breath" and that is 100% for real, Gbay makes pro level type of documentaries and that's a fact!
What country bro

@@giga_beroza coool
That is Beautiful.
we got the same in Turkey
I wish every DIG member sees this masterpiece of their own history.
I really want to watch scarra reacting to this
@@kenma877 idk if you noticed it already, but he in fact reacted and uploaded it to youtube too!
Nobody:
Gbay: Before we can talk about Dignitas, we must first go back to the ancient Roman Empire.
(Seriously though, love your videos so much man. They are one of the few things that keep my love for this game and its competitive scene alive. Keep up the fantastic work
Please do not stop making such videos, they are really entertaining and interesting. Thanks a lot gbay and keep up the great work! :D
Totally agree!
This documentary makes me sad because it reminds me of my old League friends back in s3-4 and how we would play random shit and just have fun. Every single one of the 8 friends in my group quit league not too long after and slowly fell apart. Pretty depressing when you watch videos like this and realize how far league fell in just being a casual game with friends.
I feel you man...
I am not sure why you act like you cannot do this anymore. I don't believe you should do it in ranked, but that is exactly what norms is for.
I'm super new to league, like level 25, but i could instantly tell that league's community seems alot less fun loving and way more sweaty than even other esports titles, like rainbow six siege, and csgo. like toxic teammates even in norm who think they know the perfect way to play and anything but has to be scolded. I can't say you see that behavior in any other game nearly as often. In a game like siege i could probably get my team to go full recruit and rush with shields in ranked, probably even higher ranked like plat if i got a good team. i don't think i could get a similarly stupid play even in norm in league. i haven't really played much tho so maybe lower ranks are just toxic
@@Drewzdev It's been like this for a long time where if you try to have fun in league, someone will just play the current most overpowered champion because this game is now more fun to win than play and Riot balances on what makes money. Next game you do, go mid and start dancing. 99.9% the enemy will try their hardest to kill you instead of dancing with you.
@Noah Webster assuming with 5 man, it's nice. Back in the days, we did weird shit. AS shen, Tank Annie, facepunch Malphite. So much weird silly build that both sides can laugh at no matter who won.
Nowadays, it's a bit tough when even riot themselves actively try to give Champions specific identities.
Voyboy at 15 wouldnt get carded while buying alcohol.
was just about to learn for finals and now this 1 h bomb drops
So fucking true
Ngl same here
"learn" for finals? German spotted
@@MuslehFaiz was wie?
Good luck in your finals!
Its fascinating how League as a whole went from "Hey Guys let's play some", just filling in all the roles and then basically doing anything and winning like 100$ to this incredibly competitive game with insanely high prize pools and teams, who are mainly focused on the game 16 hours a day or sth.
(Also very funny how almost everyone on the team went on to become a legend in the league community)
Regi so scared of dignitas that tried to win without playing, lul
I never knew the full story of Scarra and Imaqtiepie before this, i just love their personalities and keep up with them today. But this video opened my eyes and made me realize how much i love these weirdos and im gkad i got into league even for a short while.
"Zion would be their toplaner and, suprisingly, someone who actually mained toplane"
Pretty sure that summs up a lot of what DIG was all about huh?
it seems like rumors to be found that corejj is secretively playing as an adc currently in gen.g (at 58:42)
“Guys who might not be good at anything else”
*camera lingers on Qtpie”
Ooh. Brutal.
Everyone: Why can't you just be normal?
Dignitas: *Screams and throws at Baron.*
*Ah... old league of legends, a time where the devs listen fully to the community, there were fan clubs, a weekly show called “The summoners showcase” with Nikasaur (also the origins of “Tons of damage”), the league tournaments were actually interesting to watch, the pro players were having fun and laughing and trolling sometimes on purpose in tournaments for the fans and entertainment, and not resident sleeper (in my opinion), no one complained about anything too much, due to a lot of champs being broken and they were actually fun, and there were still forum pages / boards .... not to mention in the old league of legends client, there was also a weekly comic/lore with all champions on what’s happening in the universe, (the last one I remember was swain talking to his army with katarina and talon in the background) miss these days.*
Edit: oh can’t forget our fav TH-camrs that made so many great videos throughout the years. (Cough videogamedunkey being one of them)
The good old days.
After all the memes about qt and scarra I forgot they were actually pros lol
Really well done video Gbay! I was starting at my screen all teary eyed at the end just because of how well you made this. It really felt like you took us on a journey with the team/players throughout their history. Can't wait for the next documentary!
This' such an amazing video. I'm really glad to see these long format videos for league that cover it's history. I hope you're doing well gbay!
1:01:50 That's the best description of the Esports charm I've ever heard.
Most of us who watch esports were probably never physically strong enough to play on varsity sports teams and were made fun of for loving video games. In esports we get to see people who are just like us become the heroes, which is much more rewarding than watching a popular jock that always gets what he wants win the NBA.
At least that's how I see it.
Do you happen to know the song that he uses ?
This has to be one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve never played LOL but now I want to more than ever. Thanks for this awesome insight.
This video is incredibly underrated. Reignited my love for league of legends a bit, and made me all nostalgic for a time when I actually cared about competitive league of legends. Keep making great content gbay
Great job with this video as well Gbay! Thanks for doing one for my favorite team when I started playing League, with Scarra as my favorite of the team. I can't believe there was so much of their history I missed. Didn't know one of my favorite casters, Jatt, was in Dig before now.
I guess I should be thankful that I took a break from League right before the end and I hope the new Dignitas can capture the spirit of the originals.
Looking forward to the next one! God bless you, Gbay!
legendary team, love the backstory for Rock Solid. seeing all the results of the first few years of LCS made me remember all the random teams like LMQ and Vulcan
Meeting Scarra at a con was one of the best moments in my time playing League, maybe only beaten by meeting Gbay when he came to Utah ❤ amazing video as always!
I'm already looking forward to your next production. Top notch content and I respect your work immensely
One could even say they will be remembered 200+ years of combined memories from now... never change DIG, never change.
I really have enjoyed all of your documentaries so far, but this one especially hit home for me. Growing up, my home life was pretty rough, and League was my biggest escape, and the 2 players that I first started to watch and learn the game from were Voyboy and Scarra. Those 2 men are a huge part of why I'm still here nowadays, and being able to see them in their early days again made me really happy. Thank you for making this amazing content, and just know that while some people may see them as just movies about a stupid video game, there are those of us out there that this really means a lot to.
Great video! You forgot the part where Dyrus revealed dig’s strat before worlds so they got knocked out of group stage.
Thanks Gbay, once again letting us roam through the pure bliss of nostalgia. I hope one day a TH-cam can make a great documentary on your history with the game too
Thanks Gbay, once again letting us roam through the pure bliss of nostalgia. I hope one day a TH-camr can make a great video on your history with the game too, from the Art of war series to today’s documentaries
This video is so good. Getting emotional. You're doing amazing work Gbay!
I love your content so much, been watching for years and I just appreciate all the hard work and love that’s put into your content! Keep working hard!
I am so thankful to get to relive the events and happenings in that fashion with beautiful details and passion for the early days. The Players and the journey they went through so far deserved such a great masterpiece. Love it
One of the best League of Legends documentaries I have ever seen! Congrats for such a deep thorough research, excellent narrative and exceptional footage.
Hey Gbay, long time fan here.
It's amazing to see your quality improve with every single video. I was wondering, would you ever venture out onto some different type of documentaries? I believe you would be able to make amazing content outside of League as well.
Oh I have a lot of ideas for non-league type docs! Currently I'm still struggling with views sometimes for the League videos so I feel like I should focus on that for now lol, but once I get a more consistent and established audience who will always watch the vids I'll feel much more comfortable straying outside of League
@@gbay99 amazing video like always!
Have you ever thought about splitting these documentaries in more parts ( maybe some people don't find the time to watch the entire video in one setting )
You could also improve the views by having more parts and use "cliffhangers" to make hype for the next part .
@@gbay99 If you do any type of documentary with THIS quality, you'll get an audience on any topic, sport of whatever. Trust me. These are really top level docs. I also love that you are going back to the times I started playing (S1 / S2, on 240 ping, 30 or so champs, not real "comps", and all that), it's really nostalgic giving I started playing again after 4 or 5 years because of the quarantine. Thank you.
@@gbay99 I think you're right with your thought process. I'm just one person and a new subscriber. Gonna be watching all your docs but only if they are LoL related. Id say continue building that fanbase!
@@gbay99 I'll be tempted by almost any subject with this kind of production quality!!! I wonder if Scarra IWD Imaqtpie etc will post this so that more people will watch honestly it deserves the attention!
It is amazing that most of Dig s1 s2 players become important influencers of league of legend after departure that no other team players did.
Gbay, I'm glad to have finally come back and started watching your videos like this. I was an avid viewer back in Season 5 and 6 and loved the content you made, specifically stuff like this where you talked about the history and sides of things that I never got to experience, having only started playing League in Season 4, and not paying attention to competitive till Worlds of that year. However, I stopped playing League as much towards the end of Season 6 and beginning of Season 7 and especially stopped watching your content when you focused on the Road to Diamond stuff, since it was like all League youtubers started making that same kind of content and clickbait and stream highlights and it stopped being interesting. However, I've started getting back into League more and ended up watching your G2 video and this one and I was really happy to see you had returned to making quality informational content again. Your videos are fantastic and I can confidently say, even if I stop playing League again, I'll keep watching your videos.
great work man!! really emotional and actually inspiring for one main reason. I think this team just reminds you how important it is to be yourself even if everyone around you wants you to change!!
Damn, i've been playing this freaking game for really long time... I remember liking that old S2 roster a lot.
This brought me a lot of memories... Thanks for this Gbay99.
Also, that last part about "Weirdos at Esports..." stuff really hit me...
Huge wave of applause to you Gbay who made a 1-hour long documentary about LCS. It must've taken a lot of time and effort to make this video
Holy hell, this like many of your others brought so much emotion from hope and nostalgia to reminders of things that I forgot to remember.
Thank you so much for bringing us this documentaries. I was a big fan of Dig when I started watching the competitive scene because, as you so rightfully state, I loved their personalities and only Unicorns of Love had brought me the same feeling that this guys gave. Hope they will get a documentary of their own one day altho it's probably gonna be short one. Thanks again for your hard work.

A very nice and informative video, liked the cinematography of the video and how all aspects, good and bad, of the matter were taken into consideration.
Hope you do more of these, great work!
Truly a worthy watch all the way through. Thank you for putting in the time to make this
7:45 Sneaky was getting one shot even back in the day
Qt alone save me from sad times. Watching him just laugh it out whenever he misplay something put happiness in me. So glad that he is playing league again.
Loving these long videos! Dig was an amazing team to watch! Cant wait to see what you'll post next!
It was so much fun to watch them play as a team and also individually on stream. Each one of the original players had such a nice personality, that you couldn't do anything but like them and root for them.
My ideal morning routine, sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee to watch a fresh Gbay documentary
Regarding the whole losing later in the season: Alot of great players and teams do this when theyre just a great team but dont adapt to what's around them. If you lose early youre forced to adapt or die, youre not really forced to do so if you do well. I think this becomes doubly clear when you mention that the management of Dig was poor; It is often the management or team captains job to look at other teams and counter them. If they didnt, Dig could only keep doing their best while being countered by teams forced into a corner.
Also, thanks for a great video!
Thank you so much for all the work you must have put into this MOVIE, really appreciate it.
For a guy that grew up with this game, as i was a 7th grader or so when the game went Live, and i spent so many hours watching all this amazing players while they streamed and while they played at tournaments and so on. For a guy that played this game so much, tried to make its own team and so on, you can not tell how much all your documentaries mean to me :( I am now a 25 years old, with a boring 9-5 job, with no friends, stopped playing League, and this documentaries just bring me joy as i remember all this moments
Well said. Well made
Started watching really early, 4 mins after its release. Now i am 1 horu in the future, happier and the like button has turned blue. GG Gbay
Love this. Ice been looking for some good content to listen to while at work
Crazy video, i hope you loved making it as much as i loved watching it, i never watched much esports i was like 13 when these guys made it and didnt even start playing till i was 14-15, but this video made me "nostalgic", thanks gold ebay 99 euros
Watching those ads so my mans can get that sweet ad revenue
Same.
Damn, i didnt know that Jatt was Dig OG, that's cool
I just love your LoL documentaries, seriously.
Myself being Italian, Esports is a thing I only experienced way too late.
I know most of the people you mentioned because of twitch/youtube, I knew they were pros back in the days but this was just amazing to discover and it’s all thanks to you and your beautiful storytelling.
I love you man, keep it up!!!
Can't believe I watched a 1 hour vid of a team I've never even heard of without skipping and now made me respect them a lot
i'm still a big fan of them, especially qtpie and scarra ... my biggest life goal is to meet them someday and just hug them.. such great guys
another hr long one u know its gonna be good
amazing production!!! it was like returning back to old days thank you so much!!!
Been watching these historic league videos for awhile now, and I gotta say it is satisfying to recognize names from previous videos and recollecting on who they were.
"corejj" and he used ruler's image KEKW
I'm 15 minutes in and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favourite youtube videos
This doc is really, really great. It's so nice to see league's history, remind all the glory names from that era, great job
Gbay... Your documentaries are amazing. We can see the love and effort you put into these. The nostalgia is crazy with these... You are amazing.
How do you consistently make such good videos
Never knew scarra was such a chad.
Just kidding, we always knew.
@Gbay99 years and years go by, and the content is still awesome, keep crushing it man, bringing back alot of old memories for us long time fans of the scene.
Absolutely fantastic documentary... amazing content and production, thank you for making this
I like the part where he says "Team"
I'm a simple guy. i see a gbay video, i click.
Game 2 vs CLG in the regional finals was one of the first competitive League games I watched, and oh boy did it have an impact on me. I was a Dignitas fan for a very long time because of that game. Thanks for the video - it's great to see a lot of the history that I missed out on.
These long form doc videos are fantastic, keep up the good work!
So this is true, Scarra has always been the good guy
Not gonna lie, I cried in the end
This is such amazing content. I watched this with so much joy. Thanks for making this dude. Cheers
So glad you carried on making these documentaries Gbay, they get better and better!
