A few days after his first matches with Counter Logic Gaming, Damonte spoke to Inven Global about his friendship with Dignitas jungler Matthew "Akaadian" Higginbotham and reflected upon his first week with his new team.

Beyond him, they're rumored to fill the rest of the team with the four Golden Guardians players from each role. Here is their current rumored roster, based on reports and official announcements from the team and players.
