Team Dignitas faced off against Fnatic in the Heroes of the Storm Global Championship grand finals, held at IEM Katowice, Poland. The old favorite, Dignitas, defeated the emerging powerhouse Fnatic 3-2 and became the Western Clash champions.

It was a rough road to victory for Dignitas. As one of the major European teams, Dignitas fell to lower bracket after losing to Misfits in the semifinals. Round after round, Dignitas finally found its way back to the finals, defeating Misfits. Although many experts predicted a favorable matchup for last year’s BlizzCon finalist Fnatic, Dignitas claimed the throne in a dramatic series that went down to a wire.

The Western Clash concluded with a predominantly European presence. Whether Dignitas will be able to keep its momentum against the Asian teams in the Mid-Season Brawl remains to be seen. All eyes are on Dignitas to see if they can rewrite history this year after struggling against Korean teams in the last HGC.
