Dignitas’ League of Legends team has officially parted ways with North American jungler Joshua ‘Dardoch’ Hartnett.
The 28-year-old had spent almost five years without a spot on an LCS team, having been labelled as toxic due to his attitude as a rookie on Team Liquid in 2016.
Dardoch replaced Lawrence Lin ‘eXyu’ Xu midway through the LCS Summer Split, but couldn’t stop the team from going winless.
Dignitas’ season officially ended last week after failing to win a series and missing out on the Playoffs and possible Worlds qualification.
Dardoch Looks For New Team
Dardoch made his professional debut 10 years ago and in that time, has represented eight different LCS teams.
This year, he was competing in the NACL, registering a second-place finish during the 2026 Spring Split with CCG Esports.

Eventually, his performances earned him another shot at the top level and Dardoch has announced he has no intention of stopping.
Revealing that he is once again a free agent on his Twitter, Dardoch stated:
“My brief time back in LCS showed me that not only am I still capable of competing at the highest level still but my hunger and motivation to do so hasn’t dwindled at all.
“So with that being said, I want nothing more than to continue competing. I’ve come a very long way since I had last been in the league and I am extremely confident I can bring a lot of positives to any team.”
