Joshua Hartnett (born April 10, 1998), better known by his in-game name Dardoch (/ˈdɑːrdɔːk/ ), is an American professional League of Legends player who is the jungler for Dignitas of North America's League of Legends Championship Series (LCS).[1] He was named Rookie of the Split for the 2016 NA LCS Spring Split.
Early life
Dardoch grew up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his parents and brother.[2] He started playing League of Legends as a form of escapism from his life.
When I was in sophomore year, I got really, really good at League and I stopped caring so much about school because esports was kind of blowing up [...] My brother helped me convince my parents to let me play in Challenger Series, and then... Yeah, that's been my life ever since.
