The top EU team is taking things up a notch, securing the opportunity to practice against top Korean teams in preparation for the biggest Heroes of the Storm event to date-- BlizzCon 2016.

Dignitas is one of the few non-Korean teams that have consistently been recognized as a serious threat. Their back to back 1st place victories at Dreamhack Valencia and then the 2nd EU regional at Gamescom have left them as the firm "team to beat" in EU.

However, it looks like Dignitas has set their sights on international glory and are prepared to put in the work to make it happen:

The announcement was just hours ago on episode #122 of the TownHall Heroes podcast. Witht his announcement in the open it begs the question: What about Fnatic?

Fnatic is a fierce EU competitor in their own right, but they have yet to make any any public plans to train in Korea. Surely, this training will give Dignitas the edge, as L5 and MVP Black are Heroes of the Storm powerhouses that have only truly found competition between each other. 

Perhaps now Dignitas will have the experience to break the status quo and challenge Korean Heroes.
