Team Dignitas announced that their player Andrew 'TidesofTime' Biessener will leave the team and retire from Dota. According to him, lack of motivation was a big reason for this. The entire statement can be found in the original article linked on bottom.
Statement by Andrew 'TidesofTime' Biessener:
I've been struggling with motivation for a very long time, even outside of Dota, but that's another story. [...] It all became routine, Strategies from both us and opponents became dull: split push or 5 man and pick one of these clearly imbalanced heroes. Everything became boring and repetitive to me. I no longer had a strong desire to improve or win. And since I had been playing like shit, I had quickly become a detriment to the team.[...]

To fill the gap left in Team Dignitas, JingJun 'Sneyking' Wu will rejoin the team after he left the team three months ago due to school commitments. This announcement comes to no surprise, seeing as Sneyking has been playing with Team Dignitas for the past weeks and won the Ritmix Dota2 League with them. He will take on the solo mid role; Fogged will play support from now on.
Statement by JingJun 'Sneyking' Wu:
It is an honor to be able play with Team Dignitas again. I will be playing the mid-solo role primarily. Thank you for all those who have supported me in the past and I’ll work hard to represent the brand and fill the gap that TidesofTime left. Shoutout to Tides for what he contributed to the team and look forward to our matches.
