According to a report by ESPN's Jacob Wolf, Apex Gaming may be looking to build a second team, and has purchased Team Dignitas' spot in the NA LCS Challenger Series.

Team Dignitas finished last in the 2016 NA LCS Spring Split regular season, qualifying them for the 2016 Summer Promotion Tournament. However, they were defeated 3-0 by Team Dragon Knights in the elimination round, and as a result were relegated to Challenger.

According to the report, Apex will be holding on to the Summer Split slot that they qualified for by defeating Team Dragon Knights 3-0 in the Promotion Tournament. Last year, the team's owners sold Team Coast's LCS spot to NRG eSports, then bought Team Imagine's Challenger Series spot to form Team Apex.

Wolf also reports that Apex is interested in signing Kevin "KonKwon" Kon, who he says is looking to leave NRG. The report says NRG is planning to replace KonKwon with former Dig support Alan "KiWiKiD" Nguyen.

Team Dignitas has fielded a League of Legends team since 2011, and were among the teams in the first season of the NA LCS. The organization also owned a European Challenger Series team, but sold the spot to Splyce to avoid breaking Riot's rule prohibiting organizations from owning teams in multiple regions.
