Following the North American Regionals, our SMITE team sat down and discussed its plans for 2015. Not competing at the SMITE World Championship, we have time to try things out before entering next year's SMITE competitive stage.

That is why following his own request, we will be moving Steven 'Zapman' Zapas to a substitute role. He will remain on the team and help out whereever he can. Replacing him in the starting hunter role will be Anatoliy 'AnatoLiy' Alekseyenok, our former solo laner who has been our coach and substitute ever since.

Statement by dignitas/Zapman:

"I'm stepping down to sub because for a long time I have lost my motivation and drive to be the best I can be. I believe it to be unfair for me to stay as a starter in this state. So for the benefit of the team and in hopes that this break will renew my drive I chose to step down to sub. I will be working on other side projects and will continue to stream to help and entertain my viewers. I would never want to leave my team because I have been apart of it for almost two years and these guys are my second family. Thanks to all the fans and Team Dignitas for being understanding."
