The Team That Saved League of Legends 

What an amazing video, almost got emotional watching the journey. I appreciate you telling our story.

"u guys wanna baron?" "lol alright"

Voyboy was only 15 and looked like 30

Fun bits missing in this documentary: When IWillDominate got banned, Imaqtpie was also about to get banned, but Scarra convinced Riot that QT was autistic, in order for him to escape the ban hammer. Allegedly Digs worlds run was sabotaged by Dyrus who leaked Digs strats to the opposition. After underperforming in Top lane, Dignitas wanted to cut KiwiKid but QTpie convinced them to instead move him to the support role. Scarra retired because he felt he couldnt perform at the top level anymore. QTpie retired because the LCS and Dig moved into a more "serious" direction and QTpie only wanted to play with "friends" while being on a competitive team.

feels like I watched a movie, thats how good the production value is.

I always had respect for scarra as a generally likeable dude with some neat strats for the time but the fact he bought a champ to play in a tournament the next day is nothing short of legendary for the time.

The thing I love about the old version of Dignitas, is that they were a group of friends that played league together, and coincidentally were really good at it. They were always joking around, having fun, which made league itself look like a fun game as well. They were what most people who play league want to accomplish, being great at the game while also having tons of fun doing so.

Me: "Ah yes a video on league of legends" >2 seconds later Gbay: "Much like the ancient Roman Empire...."

"Lets go ahead and meet Jatt's replacement" >Shows IWillDominate Oh boi

Seeing scarra as a pro is so cool

saving league of legends, one baron throw at a time ☺️

Nobody: Gbay: Before we can talk about Dignitas, we must first go back to the ancient Roman Empire. (Seriously though, love your videos so much man. They are one of the few things that keep my love for this game and its competitive scene alive. Keep up the fantastic work

God these documentaries become better and better, I really love this channel

We have a saying in my country, "it was so good, I watched it in one breath" and that is 100% for real, Gbay makes pro level type of documentaries and that's a fact!

the heck, why is this one hour video so good

I wish every DIG member sees this masterpiece of their own history.

Please do not stop making such videos, they are really entertaining and interesting. Thanks a lot gbay and keep up the great work! :D

This documentary makes me sad because it reminds me of my old League friends back in s3-4 and how we would play random shit and just have fun. Every single one of the 8 friends in my group quit league not too long after and slowly fell apart. Pretty depressing when you watch videos like this and realize how far league fell in just being a casual game with friends.

was just about to learn for finals and now this 1 h bomb drops

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

"He's also 6 foot 4. and rows for UC Davis"

I never knew the full story of Scarra and Imaqtiepie before this, i just love their personalities and keep up with them today. But this video opened my eyes and made me realize how much i love these weirdos and im gkad i got into league even for a short while.

IWD rocking with those crack eyes even back then

Regi so scared of dignitas that tried to win without playing, lul

COUPLE OF ERRORS MADE: -Voyboy left Dig before their trip to Korea, I talk about it after -The King of the Hill series was hosted by WellPlayed (not "Rampage") and actually started while Dig was still Rock Solid -The picture I use of CoreJJ is actually Ruler and not CoreJJ cause I'm a big dummy lmao -IT WAS COLLUSION LUL

Its fascinating how League as a whole went from "Hey Guys let's play some", just filling in all the roles and then basically doing anything and winning like 100$ to this incredibly competitive game with insanely high prize pools and teams, who are mainly focused on the game 16 hours a day or sth. (Also very funny how almost everyone on the team went on to become a legend in the league community)

it seems like rumors to be found that corejj is secretively playing as an adc currently in gen.g (at 58:42)

"Zion would be their toplaner and, suprisingly, someone who actually mained toplane" Pretty sure that summs up a lot of what DIG was all about huh?

After all the memes about qt and scarra I forgot they were actually pros lol

“Guys who might not be good at anything else” *camera lingers on Qtpie” Ooh. Brutal.

*Ah... old league of legends, a time where the devs listen fully to the community, there were fan clubs, a weekly show called “The summoners showcase” with Nikasaur (also the origins of “Tons of damage”), the league tournaments were actually interesting to watch, the pro players were having fun and laughing and trolling sometimes on purpose in tournaments for the fans and entertainment, and not resident sleeper (in my opinion), no one complained about anything too much, due to a lot of champs being broken and they were actually fun, and there were still forum pages / boards .... not to mention in the old league of legends client, there was also a weekly comic/lore with all champions on what’s happening in the universe, (the last one I remember was swain talking to his army with katarina and talon in the background) miss these days.* Edit: oh can’t forget our fav RU-vidrs that made so many great videos throughout the years. (Cough videogamedunkey being one of them)

One could even say they will be remembered 200+ years of combined memories from now... never change DIG, never change.

Hey Gbay, long time fan here. It's amazing to see your quality improve with every single video. I was wondering, would you ever venture out onto some different type of documentaries? I believe you would be able to make amazing content outside of League as well.

legendary team, love the backstory for Rock Solid. seeing all the results of the first few years of LCS made me remember all the random teams like LMQ and Vulcan

This video is incredibly underrated. Reignited my love for league of legends a bit, and made me all nostalgic for a time when I actually cared about competitive league of legends. Keep making great content gbay

Everyone: Why can't you just be normal? Dignitas: *Screams and throws at Baron.*

Meeting Scarra at a con was one of the best moments in my time playing League, maybe only beaten by meeting Gbay when he came to Utah ❤ amazing video as always!

This has to be one of the best RU-vid videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve never played LOL but now I want to more than ever. Thanks for this awesome insight.

I really have enjoyed all of your documentaries so far, but this one especially hit home for me. Growing up, my home life was pretty rough, and League was my biggest escape, and the 2 players that I first started to watch and learn the game from were Voyboy and Scarra. Those 2 men are a huge part of why I'm still here nowadays, and being able to see them in their early days again made me really happy. Thank you for making this amazing content, and just know that while some people may see them as just movies about a stupid video game, there are those of us out there that this really means a lot to.

Great video! You forgot the part where Dyrus revealed dig’s strat before worlds so they got knocked out of group stage.

Voyboy at 15 wouldnt get carded while buying alcohol.

It is amazing that most of Dig s1 s2 players become important influencers of league of legend after departure that no other team players did.

1:01:50 That's the best description of the Esports charm I've ever heard. Most of us who watch esports were probably never physically strong enough to play on varsity sports teams and were made fun of for loving video games. In esports we get to see people who are just like us become the heroes, which is much more rewarding than watching a popular jock that always gets what he wants win the NBA. At least that's how I see it.

Damn, i didnt know that Jatt was Dig OG, that's cool

Its so funny the difference in facial expression between any actual pro match, and the ARAM match between Curse and Dig

Qt alone save me from sad times. Watching him just laugh it out whenever he misplay something put happiness in me. So glad that he is playing league again.

Don't follow league anymore, but glad this popped up in my recommendations. There was truly something special about the early days of Rock Solid and Dig, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Well said. Well made

For a guy that grew up with this game, as i was a 7th grader or so when the game went Live, and i spent so many hours watching all this amazing players while they streamed and while they played at tournaments and so on. For a guy that played this game so much, tried to make its own team and so on, you can not tell how much all your documentaries mean to me :( I am now a 25 years old, with a boring 9-5 job, with no friends, stopped playing League, and this documentaries just bring me joy as i remember all this moments

"What could possibly go wrong...."GIANT METEORITE CAREENS INTO THE PLANET

I can hear the grey hairs appearing and leaving Phreak’s head at that last DIG baron.

Huge wave of applause to you Gbay who made a 1-hour long documentary about LCS. It must've taken a lot of time and effort to make this video

Great job with this video as well Gbay! Thanks for doing one for my favorite team when I started playing League, with Scarra as my favorite of the team. I can't believe there was so much of their history I missed. Didn't know one of my favorite casters, Jatt, was in Dig before now. I guess I should be thankful that I took a break from League right before the end and I hope the new Dignitas can capture the spirit of the originals. Looking forward to the next one! God bless you, Gbay!

"corejj" and he used ruler's image KEKW

Can't believe I watched a 1 hour vid of a team I've never even heard of without skipping and now made me respect them a lot

Watching those ads so my mans can get that sweet ad revenue

Your getting better and better Gbay. Amazing video

guess who's ditching the zoom class

This doc is really, really great. It's so nice to see league's history, remind all the glory names from that era, great job

Regarding the whole losing later in the season: Alot of great players and teams do this when theyre just a great team but dont adapt to what's around them. If you lose early youre forced to adapt or die, youre not really forced to do so if you do well. I think this becomes doubly clear when you mention that the management of Dig was poor; It is often the management or team captains job to look at other teams and counter them. If they didnt, Dig could only keep doing their best while being countered by teams forced into a corner. Also, thanks for a great video!

I have never played a single game of league and barely understand the game. But I watched through this one hour long video and I absolutely loved it

Damn, i've been playing this freaking game for really long time... I remember liking that old S2 roster a lot. This brought me a lot of memories... Thanks for this Gbay99. Also, that last part about "Weirdos at Esports..." stuff really hit me...

It was so much fun to watch them play as a team and also individually on stream. Each one of the original players had such a nice personality, that you couldn't do anything but like them and root for them.

My ideal morning routine, sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee to watch a fresh Gbay documentary

I grew up watching EU and NA LCS, I've been watching this since TPA smashed worlds in s02. And man i couldn't hold my tears when you started talking at 1:01:25.. There was no one who would be involved in Esports and hate this team.They were the brightest team ever who would bring joy and smiles to everyone and i'll hold the memory of those days forever in my heart

This video is so good. Getting emotional. You're doing amazing work Gbay!

1:20 YUMI VS IRELIA SAVED THE ESPORTS SERIES IT WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN

I love your content so much, been watching for years and I just appreciate all the hard work and love that’s put into your content! Keep working hard!

The best part about all of these Docs is Gbay makes you FEEL like you lived through it. I really wish I was playing league at the time to follow this team, being a fan of all their old players, post Pro careers.

Started watching really early, 4 mins after its release. Now i am 1 horu in the future, happier and the like button has turned blue. GG Gbay

what makes it even better is Qtpie has made the most insane baron steals so many times in soloqueue.

I like the part where he says "Team"

M5 and dignitas where legendary teams that appeared out of nowhere and beat every top team

i'm still a big fan of them, especially qtpie and scarra ... my biggest life goal is to meet them someday and just hug them.. such great guys

Gbay, I'm glad to have finally come back and started watching your videos like this. I was an avid viewer back in Season 5 and 6 and loved the content you made, specifically stuff like this where you talked about the history and sides of things that I never got to experience, having only started playing League in Season 4, and not paying attention to competitive till Worlds of that year. However, I stopped playing League as much towards the end of Season 6 and beginning of Season 7 and especially stopped watching your content when you focused on the Road to Diamond stuff, since it was like all League youtubers started making that same kind of content and clickbait and stream highlights and it stopped being interesting. However, I've started getting back into League more and ended up watching your G2 video and this one and I was really happy to see you had returned to making quality informational content again. Your videos are fantastic and I can confidently say, even if I stop playing League again, I'll keep watching your videos.

Never knew scarra was such a chad. Just kidding, we always knew.

I just love your LoL documentaries, seriously. Myself being Italian, Esports is a thing I only experienced way too late. I know most of the people you mentioned because of twitch/youtube, I knew they were pros back in the days but this was just amazing to discover and it’s all thanks to you and your beautiful storytelling. I love you man, keep it up!!!

Anyone else watching this who has never played League

Game 2 vs CLG in the regional finals was one of the first competitive League games I watched, and oh boy did it have an impact on me. I was a Dignitas fan for a very long time because of that game. Thanks for the video - it's great to see a lot of the history that I missed out on.

another hr long one u know its gonna be good

Been watching these historic league videos for awhile now, and I gotta say it is satisfying to recognize names from previous videos and recollecting on who they were.

How do you consistently make such good videos

This' such an amazing video. I'm really glad to see these long format videos for league that cover it's history. I hope you're doing well gbay!

I'm 15 minutes in and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favourite youtube videos

Still proudly rocking my season 3 dignitas icon

Not gonna lie, I cried in the end

@Gbay99 years and years go by, and the content is still awesome, keep crushing it man, bringing back alot of old memories for us long time fans of the scene.

Rank 3, thinks he doesn’t have what it takes. Damn.

Really well done video Gbay! I was starting at my screen all teary eyed at the end just because of how well you made this. It really felt like you took us on a journey with the team/players throughout their history. Can't wait for the next documentary!

So this is true, Scarra has always been the good guy

We were so proud of Rock Solid back then (we latin americans didn’t have a server yet, not even BR, we all played on NA with 150ms) and to think Naryt was going “Pro” without having an official server was HUGE for us. He was representing Argentina and LAS like no other.

i'm a simple girl. i see a gbay video, i click.

I really love how in good old days some specific champions and roles for them were off-meta and now new players don't even know about what was then. I'm not that old of a gamer, but when I started playing league in 2019, I remember seeing Jax in the jungle a lot more often than on top, and now I see people calling this off-meta. And I really love bringing some of the champions to their old roles. Played Maokai and Nautilus in jungle and had great success with em, I remember playing Brand mid before he got his mini rework that made him more successful at that role. I really love seeing how good old meta changed!

1:01:55 "Might not be much good at anything in real normal life" *shows a picture of imaqtpie*

Crazy video, i hope you loved making it as much as i loved watching it, i never watched much esports i was like 13 when these guys made it and didnt even start playing till i was 14-15, but this video made me "nostalgic", thanks gold ebay 99 euros

"its 3am, i should probably go to sl-" as i watch this entire 1 hr video

I first discovered competitive League this spring split, and was loving Dig, I was hoping they would place well, and for a while they did. Now I found out that that is what dig does.

Can't wait theScore esports to make " How one team save League of Legends " video Kappa

Man, I haven't played LoL in years, but your documentaries are always so incredibly entertaining! I really appreciate them.

for some reason, this "wacky team documentary" just makes me think of the tcs
