Zacqueri “aphromoo” Black will remain as Dignitas' starting Support for the 2021 season. Dignitas benefited greatly from the acquisition of aphromoo in the 2020 season. The organization failed to take home the NA crown or make an appearance at Worlds but they performed admirably in the previous season. Dignitas has effectively finalized its 2021 lineup with this announcement.
He's the most experienced leader in the #LCS, both in-game and out of game. We couldn't ask for a better captain to guide our young talents.@Aphromoo will continue as our starting support for the 2021 season! pic.twitter.com/3qErtOaQ5g

There's a large number of hurdles left for Dignitas to face in the future but it's not insurmountable. Currently, Dignitas has the help of two veteran players on its lineup including aphromoo and Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett. The team made it to the Summer Playoffs in the 2020 season but bowed out in the first stage. Hopefully, aphromoo's retention on the squad will add a much-needed veteran edge to this almost completely young lineup.

aphromoo found the most success in the past playing as Support for Counter Logic Gaming. He was able to secure two NA titles but was unable to produce any more tournament wins. The veteran Support also appeared at Worlds on multiple occasions but was unable to break through to the playoffs stage. He played for 100 Thieves before being bumped to its Academy lineup.
The Dignitas lineup is a mix of rookie players and experienced professionals. Undoubtedly, the team is looking to pin their hopes on a volatile mix of talent. There have been many teams in the past that have succeeded after pinning their hopes on new players, hopefully, Dignitas proves its worth to the world in the 2021 season. Can aphromoo claim a third NA LCS title?
