History

[edit]

100 Thieves was founded in 2017 by Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, a former OpTic Gaming Call of Duty team captain, (MLG) X Games gold medalist, and 2014 Esports Athlete of the year.[2] In November 2017, 100 Thieves received a multimillion-dollar investment from Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans owner Dan Gilbert allowing the company to expand into a full-fledged esports organization.[3]

On October 23, 2018, 100 Thieves announced that they finished their Series A funding round co-led by Scooter Braun and Drake, who both became co-owners when they raised $25 million. Included in this round was Sequoia Capital, Ludlow Ventures, Courtside Ventures, WndrCo, Marc Benioff, Drew Houston, Green Bay Ventures, Tao Capital and Advancit Capital.[4] Their Series B funding round on July 16, 2019, was led by Artist Capital Management which raised $35 million. Included in this round is Aglae Ventures, Groupe Arnault (controlling shareholder of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy).[5]

In March 2021, 100 Thieves signed a sponsorship deal with Truly Seltzer and Twisted Tea.[6] They acquired gaming peripheral company Higround in October 2021, marking their first acquisition.[7] On December 2, 2021, 100 Thieves announced their Series C funding round, which raised $60 million.[8]

In May 2022, 100 Thieves announced its intentions to publish a video game. It hired former Telltale Games CEO Pete Hawley as its Chief Product Officer to set up a studio.[9] In July, more than 10 members of 100 Thieves' content team were laid off.[10] Nadeshot launched his own energy drink, called Juvee, on October 4.[11]

In January 2023, around 30 employees were laid off, including several lead staff members.[12] That November, 100 Thieves announced it was laying off 20% of its workforce, affecting employees at its game studio and energy drink brand. These business units would also be spun off as separate companies in order to focus on esports and apparel.[13]

On May 6, 2024, the Esports World Cup Foundation, funded by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and organizers of the Esports World Cup tournament series, announced the 30 organizations (known in the ESWC as Clubs) who would make up the Club Support Program, with 100 Thieves being one of them. This program gives teams a one-time six-figure stipend if an organization is willing to enter new esports as well as additional funding each year if they drive viewership and fan engagement to the Esports World Cup.[14]

Inaugural season

[edit]

On November 20, 2017, 100 Thieves was accepted as a franchise organization for the 2018 NA LCS season.[15] The team signed Neil "pr0lly" Hammad as its head coach and Kim "Ssumday" Chan-ho, William "Meteos" Hartman, Ryu "Ryu" Sang-wook, Cody Sun, and Zaqueri "Aphromoo" Black for its starting roster.[16] The team placed first in the spring split regular season with a 12–6 record, securing a bye into the semifinals. Additionally, Aphromoo was voted as MVP of the spring split.[17] The first team they faced in the playoffs was Clutch Gaming, and 100 Thieves won 3–2,[18] moving on to the finals, where they were swept 0–3 by Team Liquid in the finals.[19]

100 Thieves' second-place finish qualified them for Rift Rivals 2018, an international tournament between the top three spring teams from Europe and North America. The team elected to use substitute player Đỗ "Levi" Duy Khánh in place of Meteos for the tournament.[20] Team Liquid, 100 Thieves, and Echo Fox competed against Europe's Fnatic, G2 Esports, and Splyce, going a combined 4–5 in the double round-robin group stage with 100 Thieves with a 1–2 record after a single win against Splyce. In the best-of-five "relay race" finals, the team lost their game against Fnatic, contributing to North America's combined 1–3 loss to Europe.[21]

Before the summer split, 100 Thieves traded Meteos to Flyquest, in exchange for their jungler, Andy "AnDa" Hoang.[22] Following this roster move, the team placed third in the regular season with a 10–8 record. The team won their first match 3–0 over FlyQuest,[23] before losing 1–3 to Team Liquid in the semi-finals,[24] then losing 2–3 in the third place match to Team SoloMid.[25]

The team's performance across both splits allowed them to qualify for the 2018 League of Legends World Championship in South Korea as North America's second seed.[26] The team was drawn to Group D with Europe's Fnatic, China's Invictus Gaming, and Hong Kong's G-Rex.[27] Shortly after qualifying for the world championship, they replaced Cody Sun with substitute player Richard "Rikara" Oh.[28] 100 Thieves finished third in their group with a 2–4 record, and 12th overall, not qualifying for the knockout stage.[29]

2019–2022

[edit]

In 2019, the team extended top laner Ssumday's contract, while Ryu moved to an assistant position.[30][31] Cody Sun and Rikara opted to leave the team, and they were replaced by Choi "huhi" Jae-hyun and Bae "Bang" Jan-sik. Partway through the spring split, Huhi was benched in favor for Max "Soligo" Soong, but despite attempts at change, the team finished the spring split in dead last, with a 4–14 record, and elected to make additional roster changes for summer. Huhi left the team, and Maurice "Amazing" Stückenschneider joined to replace AnDa, who was moved to the academy roster along with Ryu.[32] A month into the split, the team replaced Soligo with Ryu from the academy roster, and also swapped Ssumday with Aaron "FakeGod" Lee, as LCS rules required at least 3 North American residents on the starting roster.[33] The team finished the summer split in eighth place and did not qualify for the post–season.[34]

100 Thieves began the 2020 season with the announcement that Chris "PapaSmithy" Smith would be joining the team as the new general manager.[35] Tony "Zikz" Gray was the next addition to the roster, replacing pr0lly as head coach,[36] and both Meteos and Cody Sun rejoined the team for the second time,[37] alongside new additions William "Stunt" Chen and Tommy "Ryoma" Le. Ryu, Amazing, Bang and Aphromoo all left the team, with FakeGod rejoining Academy and Ssumday rejoining the main roster.[38] In spring, the team finished third in the regular season with a 10–8 record, and qualified for post–season for the first time since 2018.[39] However once in the playoffs,[40] they were swept 0–3 by Cloud9,[41] and then lost 2–3 to Team SoloMid in the losers' bracket.[42] After an 1–5 start in the summer split, the team parted ways with players Meteos and Stunt, and called up academy players Juan "Contractz" Garcia and Philippe "Poome" Lavoie-Giguere to replace them.[43] The team finished in seventh at the end of the summer split with a 7–11 record, and were seeded into the loser's bracket of the playoffs, where they would be swept 0–3 by Evil Geniuses to finish their 2020 season.[44]

The 2021 season started with the team signing Can "Closer" Çelik, Victor "FBI" Huang, Tanner "Damonte" Damonte, and a returning Huhi from Golden Guardians.[45] Ry0ma (renamed from Ryoma) and Poome were moved to the academy roster,[46] while Cody Sun and Contractz both left the team.[47][48] The team also added Aleš "Freeze" Kněžínek and Ham "Lustboy" Jang-sik to the coaching staff.[49][50] The season started off with the preseason Lock−In tournament,[51] and the team starting strong, placing first in their group, before sweeping Immortals 2–0 in the first round of the knock−out stage. In the semifinals they faced Cloud9, and despite winning the first two games, were reverse swept to lose 2–3 in the series, and finish 3rd/4th in the tournament.[52] In week 5 of the spring split, the team decided to bring back Ry0ma as their starter and sent Damonte to academy.[53] They finished the spring split in third place, and in the Mid-Season Showdown,[54] were swept 0–3 by Cloud9,[55] before picking up a 3–0 win of their own against Dignitas in the losers bracket.[56] The team faced Team SoloMid next, and fell 1–3, and were eliminated from playoffs.[57]

After a fourth place finish in the spring split, the team parted ways with head coach Zikz and hired Bok "Reapered" Han-gyu as his replacement.[58] Prior to the start of the summer split, 100 Thieves signed Felix "Abbedagge" Braun from the LEC, and Ry0ma was subsequently sent back to academy,[59] while Damonte was dropped by the organization.[60] The revamped roster would go on to finish second in the regular season, with a record of 29–16. The team won their first playoff match 3–2 against Evil Geniuses, before falling 2–3 to Team Liquid. In the losers' bracket, 100 Thieves defeated Cloud9 3–1 to set up a finals rematch against Team Liquid. This time around, 100 Thieves defeated Team Liquid in a 3–0 sweep, to win the 2021 LCS Championship[61][62][63] and qualify for the 2021 League of Legends World Championship.[64] The team's performance secured them a bye into Group B alongside China's Edward Gaming, Korea's T1, and Japan's DetonatioN FocusMe.[65] The team finished third in their group, with a 3–3 record, and were eliminated from the tournament, placing 9th–12th overall and ending their season.[66]

In 2022, the team announced all five players would be returning,[67] with academy top laner Milan "Tenacity" Oleksij as a sixth man.[68] Alfonso "Mithy" Rodriguez also joined the coaching staff in the off−season.[69] Once again, 100 Thieves were atop their group in the Lock−In tournament,[70] however they were upset 0–2 by Dignitas in the quarterfinals of the Knock−Out stage, and eliminated early.[71][72] Through the first round robin of the spring split, 100 Thieves accumulated a 5–4 record, putting them in a three way tie for third place.[73] 100 Thieves ultimately ended the spring split with a record of 12–6, securing themselves third place. In the first round of Playoffs, they swept Cloud 9 3–0 to advance to the winner bracket finals, where they came back from a 0–2 deficit to reverse sweep Team Liquid and advance to Grand Finals.[74] There, they lost 0–3 to Evil Geniuses, denying 100 Thieves back to back championships.[75]

Following a group stage exit at the 2022 World Championship, General manager PapaSmithy and coaches Repeared, Mithy, and Freeze parted ways with the team.[76][77]

2023

[edit]

For the 2023 season, 100 Thieves released the entire roster except Closer, signing veterans Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng and Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg and promoting Alan "Busio" Cwalina from the academy, and Tenacity to full-time top laner.[78] The team also hired Christopher "Kaas" Oudheusden as their new head coach with Erlend "Nukeduck" Holm joining as an assistant and promoting Joseph "JungleJuice" Jang as general manager..[79] After a 5-8 start to the Spring Split, Kaas and 100 Thieves parted ways and Nukeduck was promoted to interim head coach with Danny "Dan Dan" Comte joining as an assistant from the challengers team. Following a quick exit in Spring playoffs, Bjergsen announced his retirement.[80]

After Bjergsen's retirement, the team announced their new head coach in Jang "Cain" Nu-ri and the signing of Lim "Quid" Hyeon-seung as their new mid laner. The team also brought back Ssumday as Tenacity decided to move to content creation. The team finished with a 7-11 record and placed 7th-8th in the summer split championship.

2024

[edit]

For the 2024 season, the team parted ways with the whole roster and coaching staff except for Quid, signing Rayan "Sniper" Shoura, Kim "River" Dong-woo, Brandon "Meech" Choi, and Bill "Eyla" Nguyen. The team also announced Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer as their new head coach. The team finished 5th-8th in the Spring playoffs with a 10-4 record in the regular season.

During the Summer split, Meech was benched and the team signed Frank "Tomo" Lam. The team finished the regular season with a 3-4 record and finished 3rd in the Summer playoffs and qualified for the 2024 World Championship play-in, where they would be eliminated by PSG Talon. In October 2024, Meech was released. On October 31, 100 Thieves announced their intention to sell their LCS franchise spot for the 2025 season, however, after close collaboration with Riot Games, 100 Thieves would continue to take part in the LCS (now reformed as the League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA) as the LCS merged with both CBLOL and LLA) as a "guest partner".[81] In November 2024, Tomo was released and FBI was re-signed as the new starting bot laner.

Valorant

[edit]

On June 4, 2020, 100 Thieves Esports announced their entrance into the Valorant competitive scene through the signing of Spencer "Hiko" Martin. Within three weeks of signing Hiko, the team was finalized.[88] The original team consisted of Keane "Valliate" Alonso, Diondre "YaBoiDre" Bond, Zachary "Venerated" Roach, and Alfred "Pride" Choi. This team, however, did not last long; on August 14, 2020, the entire team, apart from Hiko, was released.[89][90] Shortly thereafter, the team went on to sign Counter-Strike: Global Offensive veterans Nick "nitr0" Cannella and Joshua "steel" Nissan.[91][92] 2 months later, the team was once again finalized after signing Peter "Asuna" Mazuryk and Quan "dicey" Tran from Immortals.[93] The team went on to win the very first Valorant First Strike tournament, defeating TSM in the grand finals.[94]

On January 26, 2021, the team brought in Jonathan "silenx" Huntington as a substitute in place of nitr0, due to nitr0's wife going into labor.[95] On February 28, 2021, the team benched dicey in favor of another veteran CS:GO player, Ethan "Ethan" Arnold.[96] After the Masters 3 tourney, the team decided to call up their substitute Aaron "b0i" Thao to the starting roster and moved steel to the bench. The team also added Johann "seven" Hernandez as a substitute.[97] Their 2021 season ended after falling to Cloud9 in the NA Last Chance Qualifier for Valorant Champions. On November 23, dicey and b0i were dropped from the team.[98] Soon after, both steel and nitr0 departed the team.[99]

They started 2022 with the signing of Adam "ec1s" Eccles and Hunter "BabyJ" Schline and promoting analyst Jovanni "Jovi" Vera to head coach.[100] Shockingly, after two losses in the 2022 NA VCT Challengers Stage 1 group stage, ec1s and BabyJ were released; the team then acquired Sean "bang" Bezerra and Noah "jcStani" Smith on loans.[101] After being eliminated in the 2022 NA VCT Challengers group stage, the team parted ways with Jovi and hired Sean "sgares" Gares as head coach with Michael "Mikes" Hockom joining him as an assistant, and hiring Daniel "ddk" Kapadia as general manager.[102] On March 27, jcStani announced his free agency after his loan period ended with the team.[103] On April 12, Hiko announced his retirement from competitive Valorant but remained with the organization as a content creator.[104] A couple days later, bang was fully bought out and the team then signed Derrek "Derrek" Ha, Brenden "stellar" McGrath, and William "Will" Cheng, while Ethan was moved to the bench and later released.[105] The team was able to qualify for 2022 Valorant Champions after beating The Guard in the grand finals of the NA Last Chance Qualifier.[106] The team was then placed Group D alongside DRX, FURIA Esports, and Fnatic.[107] The team finished the tournament 9-12th.[108] Following the end of the regular 2022 season, 100 Thieves released Will and signed XSET star player Matthew "Cryocells" Panganiban,[109] and Mikes was promoted to head coach, following Sgares's departure.[110] 100 Thieves ended the year by winning the Red Bull Home Ground tournament #3 in Manchester with a 3–0 win over Cloud9 in December 2022.[111]

In September 2022, 100 Thieves was selected as one of the thirty teams to be part of Riot Games' partnership program for the 2023 season.[112] During the season, they failed to qualify to Americas League playoffs and were also eliminated in their first match in the Americas Last Chance Qualifier. On September 12, 2023, 100 Thieves announced the release of Derrek and stellar.[113][114]

On September 25, 2023, 100 Thieves signed Tony "Zikz" Gray as head coach, who had previously been head coach for their League of Legends team.[115] Mikes was moved back to assistant coach. On November 1, 2023, 100 Thieves announced Daniel "eeiu" Vucenovic to the starting roster.[116] 100 Thieves competed in the main event of Red Bull Home Ground #4 in Tokyo with Nicholas "NaturE" Garrison as a stand-in, and placed fifth.[117]

On January 8, 2024, 100 Thieves rounded out their roster with in-game leader, Kelden "Boostio" Pupello. Boostio, along with Zikz, previously won the 2023 Valorant Champions with Evil Geniuses.[118] The season started off poorly with 100 Thieves losing all their games in the Kickoff tournament and being eliminated.[119] In Americas Stage 1, they placed second in their group and qualified for the playoffs. With a clean sweep of their playoff games including a 3–0 win over G2 Esports in the grand final, they became Stage 1 champions and qualified to Masters Shanghai as the first seed from Americas, earning a bye to the playoffs and 9 circuit points for the 2024 Valorant Champions.[120] At Shanghai, they placed 4th after beating FUT and Paper Rex but losing to both eventual finalists Gen.G and Team Heretics. With a 2–3 record in Americas Stage 2, the team made it into playoffs but placed 4th, ending their year one win away from qualifying to Champions.[121] On October 3, it was announced that Bang would be leaving after two and a half years with the team.[122] On October 8, Alexander "Zander" Dituri was announced as the new fifth member of the roster.
