Team Dignitas expands ShootMania squad
Today our ShootMania squad welcomes a new player, who has been competing at the top since the beginning of the ShootMania beta, Frederiek 'Frantic-' van Gammeren. He was a part of Team Dignitas' Unreal Tournament squad before and we are glad that we get to welcome back an old friend.
Frantic will join his new teammates Gareth 'GaRpY' Marshall and Ted 'KoWa' Hansson who will now be known as Team Dignitas' European ShootMania squad.
We are also happy to announce that we will be supporting another ShootMania squad, which will be Team Dignitas' UK ShootMania squad, consisting of David 'Zaccubus' Treacy, Ziggy 'nVc' Orzeszek and another new addition, Sam 'vantastic' Hayter.
Vantastic is an up-and-coming player who has impressed his UK teammates and we are confident he'll impress the rest of the scene at upcoming tournaments.

"Home sweet home. A few years ago I've represented Team Dignitas in several games and this was a great time for me. Team Dignitas really gave me that family feeling, giving me many opportunities to play the games I liked and always supporting me in the way they could.
At a certain point I decided to leave to play for another team in CoD4, as dignitas already had a top notch squad playing this game. Now I'm back, playing ShootMania with Kowa and GaRpY. I've played with these guys seperately in different games and now we get to play with the three of us together. I'm really looking forward to see how this will work out! :)"

"I've been the reserve player for the main ShootMania side since it began earlier this year, but after participating in place of GaRpY at the ESWC finals it struck me that, beyond the evenings of practice, what I've really missed are the moments that come with regular competition.
With Zaccubus now available, in addition to potentially one of the strongest up and coming players in Vanta, there was no doubt that when given the opportunity to create a second ShootMania squad full entirely of UK based players that we'd capitalize on it. We're not only looking forward to the events to come in 2013, but also to regular practice with the EU Team Dignitas side."
