The Thieves that burn twice as bright last half as long...or something. After a sizzling finish to the regular season, the Spring 2023 100T squad quickly flamed out in playoffs, losing both of their series in not-so-great form. After realizing he was VOD Squadding the last 100T action of the 100Talk era, Cole had an emotional breakdown and needed to get right back to talking to the 100Kids about what happened. So, here's another episode of Keep It 100, our semi-sometime call-in show featuring NOTHING BUT LISTENER TAKES!

100T has managed to climb from 8th place to 3rd place in a matter of a week, and fans are beside themselves. 7 straight wins are making the dads think that this is more than a honeymoon with Nukeduck - it just may be true love. Sitting pretty in winner’s bracket for this weekend, the Thieves look to be a dark horse contender for the LCS title, seemingly out of nowhere. Cole and Jordan recap the joy that was this weekend, including 100Talk parting gifts from Brother Solo and Brother Jojo and some sweet revenge against the 100T understudies, CLG. You notice how I didn’t mention Immortals? Turns out you never need to.
With a newfound sense of confidence and killer teamfighting prowess, 100T is positioned for a playoff run. The dads discuss how deep 100T DNA runs and project what will happen in the PapaSmithy revenge series, plus field a heaping helping of listener takes and questions.
It’s 100Talk in rare form - Thieves Nation, let’s ride!

With Kaas out and Nukeduck in, somehow, the honeymoon has officially begun. A change has done the Thieves good, with the squad turning in a dominant 2-0 weekend including a substantial win against the surging Golden Guardians. The rookies are stepping up, Bjergsen is playing aggressive, Doublelift is a killer Xayah, and Closer is back on his big champs. The wins come in the nick of time, with playoffs suddenly looking much more likely for our beloved boys.
Jordan and Cole analyze which specific signs of life the Thieves were showing during the weekend and debate how much of the Nukeduck turnaround is simply a temporary shake up and how much is genuine balm of Gilead. They also whip out the handy dandy foldy sheet to go over scenarios for super week, finding that 2-1 with a win over TSM has us in excellent shape…
Plus, listener takes and questions as usual. Strap in for another #100Talk!
Also, a note: 100Talk will conclude after the spring split. Please see this Twitlonger for more: https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss8o23

100T made big news with their decision to fire head coach Kaas and to let Nukeduck step up as interim head LCS coach after the team turned in what is likely its worst week of League of Legends in the org’s history. Given the presence of established, outspoken veterans on the squad (who are currently underperforming expectations), a lot of fans are crying scapegoat. Jordan and Cole think through what we know and what we don’t know about the situation, and discuss the legitimacy of the changes based on the balance. They also lay out the path for the remainder of the season and realize (in real time) that this is a team that is dancing close to catastrophe - will the Nukeduck change be the Bible in the middle to make sure it’s not TOO close???

A win is a win, and a one and one is a one and one. But things still don’t feel all the way right at the 100 Thieves [redacted] Compound. The dads discuss how beating Team Liquid doesn’t mean quite as much as it used to, and while we were more competitive against FlyQuest, we ultimately made too many mistakes (one) and so we weren’t able to win against the dominant team. Cole and Jordan spend a lot of time breaking down the stats and eyeball test for rookies Tenacity and Busio and check them against their preseason expectations, while others suggest the blame for the team’s lackluster performance may rest with the veterans. Are we officially on the Department of Transportation’s Bad Teamfighting Team Watchlist? Azael says yes. The dads say…LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

An extremely sad and surprising 0-3 was turned in by 100 Thieves this weekend, and boy does it hit different this time around. In a matter of two weeks the squad went from looking ahead of schedule and a potential title contender, to looking anemic and lost. Jordan and Cole call the 100Kids together to compile a litany of complaints and evaluate which ones have merit and which ones will pass. The dads also break down the possible ways out from this mess and encourage, as ever, patience. Common 100Talk episode ready to be enjoyed by all!

An important weekend for 100 Thieves passed with a 1-1 result including a valuable win over Team Liquid (seriously, do we ever lose to them anymore?) and a not-so-competitive loss to FlyQuest. The microscope is on the 100T rookies as they continue their very public development in the LCS. Tenacity turns in an almost-good-enough-to-carry performance, while Busio seems to be having a bit more trouble finding his footing. Cole and Jordan dive into their takes on both, while also discussing the pressure cooker that is the Doublelift content machine. The big question now is how much progress can be made in the next few weeks. Are these Thieves for real? Only the dads can tell….

A clean and confident 2-0 weekend against some admittedly less-than-lethal opposition has left the 100Talk dads in a great mood. They clock the progress of 100T’s rookies and veterans against expectations (spoiler alert - we’re ahead of schedule), take some time to memorialize Solo after his life was taken from him by Tenacity, plus discuss the effect of Doublelift’s perspective and content on the team as a whole. Cole and Jordan are chomping at the bit to get further into this split to see what this team is really made of, but for now they are satisfied answering listener questions, taking liberal sips of the Rip, and getting their esports viewing out of the way before the weekend.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This new 100T roster is starting the split a lot like the old 100T roster - slowly. Cole and Jordan bring the 100Kids together to explain why we're not overwhelmed, we're not underwhelmed, we're just - whelmed. The dads also talk about the perspective discrepancy that exists between evaluating the two team rookies (Tenacity and Busio), and why the narratives are more similar than different (read: Give Tenacity a freaking chance, yall, dang.) A good discussion ensues about Doublelift's new series "I make an entertaining video explaining what I think happened this weekend," and whether 100T's content outsourcing is going to play out positively or negatively.
Oh yeah, and listener takes and questions galore!

100Talk welcomes 100 Thieves LCS General Manager Joseph “JungleJuice” Jang for a discussion of his transition to GM during one of the weirdest offseasons ever. The dads ask the burning question on all fans’ minds - what will we get content-wise in 2023? Plus, JungleJuice comments on the shift in the player market and what he expects from the stunning combination of rookies and veterans assembled for the new squad. Finally, Cole and Jordan are treated to some memories of JJ’s long tenure with the team, culminating in Ssumday’s Hall of Fame induction.

On this exciting episode of The COD Job, the dads get together to do what any good CDL fan would - draw sweeping conclusions about teams and players from just one weekend of play. They talk about a thorough drubbing of Vegas Legion and coming within 2 seconds of beating FaZe 3-1, and the positive discrepancy between LAT’s stats and their game results. Cole and Jordan also weigh in on the pace and feel of the game, and discuss how the 2-year game cycle will affect the competitive scene. Plus, as always, fathers always have time to answer their kids’ questions. You’re in the right place, LA Thieves fan!

In a sad day for 100 Thieves fans, the org announced the departure of head coach Reapered. Perhaps not surprising to those trying to read the tea leaves about LCS economics, the move is still proving unpopular to fans who enjoyed three straight LCS finals, two trips to Worlds, and one domestic championship. Jordan and Cole give their takes on the move and what it may signal for the rest of the 100T offseason. They also talk about possible roster paths and some general suggestions for what they’d like to see. Other topics include the latest (and greatest) apparel drop, and unforgettable Worlds final, and an even more unforgettable trip to Atlanta featuring the dads meeting a big group of 100Kids. Rollercoaster of an episode incoming - buckle in!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Looking much better in week 2 of Worlds Groups, 100 Thieves’ invigorated performance still ultimately fell short of getting to Worlds Quarterfinals after a very close loss to RNG and Gen.G’s destruction of a corpse shortly afterwards. The boys finished their 2022 year as members of the Western 1-5 Club, but without much else to smile about. Despite the underperformance being overshadowed by NA’s general impotence on the international stage, 100T quickly reclaimed the headlines by announcing the departure of beloved GM PapaSmithy, whose Twitter statement left a few things to dissect.
The 100Talk dads are here to do just that. In this episode, Cole and Jordan dedicate the pod to evaluating the PapaSmithy tenure. Checking performance against goals, the dads give their takes on the reasons for the breakup and what its implications are within 100 Thieves as an organization and for the LCS as a whole. They speculate on the future of the program and lay out the limited options in front of us, while paying tribute to both the players (who may soon be leaving) and the staff that made this wonderful 3-split run possible.
It is the most bittersweet of 100Talk episodes. Get your tissues ready.

Worlds 2022 got off to a very rough start for 100T fans as the Thieves tripped at the starting gate. Dropping a game to CTBC Flying Oyster was NOT how we envisioned our first groups outing to go, and the loss painted reasonable efforts against Gen.G and RNG in a darker light. With all NA teams on the ropes at 0-3, there doesn’t seem to be much hope to go around for fans. Jordan and Cole work out the frustrations of watching a beloved team underperform and puzzle about a course of action that could salvage at least some of the mess that we find ourselves in. Barring a miracle run this weekend and some favors from other teams in the group, it looks like our Worlds journey will end on Sunday and what will surely be an extremely active offseason begins. With that in mind, the dads give their advice for how to best enjoy what could very well be the final three games with the greatest 100T roster ever assembled…

Giving listeners control over which topics come up next for discussion, the 100Talk dads are back and ready to let the hate flow through them after watching a weird, frustrating, and ultimately a little boring play-ins stage of Worlds 2022. On the menu for this night of potshots are Very Unexpected Game Delays™, the problem with the play-in format, casters and analysts viewing Jojopyun with the rosiest of lenses, Cole's everlasting and effervescent hatred of EU, and even a surprise energy drink release from 100 Thieves scheduled for tomorrow. Off the rails is the brand, here. Enjoy your heaping helping of 100Talk.

A weekend with so much promise and opportunity concluded without much ado about anything. 100 Thieves scraped together a gritty win against a less-than-full-strength Evil Geniuses, only to be blown off the rift by (obvious villains how can no one else see this) Cloud9. The 100Talk dads try to piece together their fractured memories of a painful weekend and see if there are any lessons or conclusions that can be drawn from the experience. They also remind everyone that this season is not complete - Worlds looms on the horizon. Will the promise of a meta shift and some well-deserved (but likely brief) time off mean an opportunity for redemption for the 2022 Thieves? All of that and more in this week’s 100Talk.

100T’s Revenge Tour 2022 begins now. We’re grateful that tough weekends for 100T esports are increasingly rare, but we did indeed endure one as our beloved LCS boys dropped to the loser’s bracket at the hands of a hot (and PRRRROBABLY lucky) C9, and the Valorant squad suffered a similar fate against DRX in Istanbul. Still, losing can be very instructive, and this is a great time to suffer an instructive loss.
Jordan and Cole are here to pick up the pieces, and the first task is to figure out what’s broken. The dads talk about macro and objective play, weigh in on some debatable draft choices in our favorite segment Should We Play It, and correct the public record on Abbedagge vs. Jensen in our least favorite segment 100Talk Reacts to JLXP. A full charcuterie board of listener takes follows, and so do prophetic predictions for LCS Championship Weekend. Man, woman, and child, does this episode put ‘em in the aisles. It’s time for 100Talk.

100 Thieves has locked in a second consecutive Worlds appearance, their third in five years. This year came courtesy of Team Liquid doing what they usually do against us in playoffs - dragging out the series even though its outcome is already decided. Along the way, we got some incredibly memorable teamfighting, a very sad and heartfelt postgame interview with Bwipo, and a single-game montage of Closer’s Lee Sin highlights that most pros would be happy with as a representation of their entire career. This weekend was a doozy.
The dads are always here for you, and they dedicate a whopping two hours to observations about draft and playstyles, players on premium picks, the astounding performance of Ssumday on Aatrox, why fans are misinterpreting the results of this weekend’s playoff games, and just how badly 100T will beat C9 next week. And as dutiful fathers, Cole and Jordan make time for their kids - listener questions and takes are abundant. It’s another banger episode of 100Talk!

A miraculous thing happened this weekend: 100 Thieves dropped a game to FlyQuest and for once nobody gave a sermon preaching about why this means the team is a fraud. That means Jordan and Cole have less work to do on this end of regular season edition of 100Talk. The dads follow the thread of what we learned through 100T’s super week games and how the Thieves have learned to have a plan after getting punched in the mouth. They talk draft diffing quality opponents and debate which of the Thieves get All-LCS nods. And in light of the recent white-hot success of the org’s esports, discuss the winning culture that has been built at the CashApp Compound. Don’t forget - the dads always have time for their children, so listener takes and questions abound. It’s a good time to be a 100T fan, and a good time to 100Talk.

The glorious win streak continues as 100T turns in another 2-0 weekend, defeating an unpredictable Golden Guardians before avenging a first round robin loss to Cloud 9. The Thieves have been so good for so long that even analysts and pundits are starting to begrudgingly admit it. Truly miraculous times for 100T fans to live through. Jordan and Cole are here to be your spiritual guide through the end of regular season and heading into playoffs where the boys will look to secure a second LCS title and make waves at Worlds. Topics of discussion include increased aggression with Riot’s latest patch, recognizing some insane games from the likes of Abbedagge, Huhi, and FBI, and Ssumday’s sudden dark horse candidacy for league MVP. There’s also a good amount of constructing wah wah baby whining about player of the week, regular season awards, and the lack of attention given to the team at a time when they’re smashing. It’s all here in a gift-wrapped episode of 100Talk, sponsored by getthatcreditscoreupbabylikerightnow.com for the love of all things holy don’t use code 100TALK.

A 2-0 weekend is a 2-0 weekend, but not all are created equal. Good thing the 100 Thieves fanbase is a gnarled and seasoned group that won’t overreact to any uncharacteristically sloppy games, right? Right. The dads lead the family discussion on what admittedly wasn’t the cleanest set of matches from 100T, taking note of the confidence level of this team and the mental benefits of winning games when you’re not at your best. They play the new game “Should We Play It” with some of the new picks the squad brought out against Dignitas and Immortals, and talk about the ways Ssumday is both underappreciated and duly credited by the LCS community. Plus, as always, there are tons of listener takes and questions to go through of varying spice levels. It’s another fun one with Jordan and Cole.

The most convincing 100T wins come when ̶n̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ the analysts don’t expect them. The Thieves smoked both the scrappy upstart NA underdog org AND Evil Geniuses this weekend, leading analysts everywhere to finally checks notes keep the conversation status quo…
On a serious note, this squad looks to be hitting on all cylinders as we head into the final stretch of the regular season. Jordan and Cole break down how the pieces are all starting to fall into place: high quality drafts, tight gameplay from individual players, and good meta read. The dads also dive into a short but explosive appearance from Closer on the LCS Lounge, and address point by point what the kral had to say. All of this served with the usual heaping helping of listener questions/takes, common sense from Jordan, questionable analysis from Cole, and traditional sports analogies.

100 Thieves opted to extend the LCS break an extra day and come back rested and ready for their Sunday game. The 100Talk dads are forced, however, to acknowledge that there was apparently a game played on Saturday. Cole and Jordan explain why they are not worried about the occasional slip up from the otherwise solid Thieves and why fans should be able to brush off a silly game here and there. They also talk about the emergence of the newest in CS technology, Abbedagge and a surprising Closer Poppy pick that went extremely well. Please buckle up for some complaining about why we are disrespected by analysts and broadcast though, we can’t help it.

Haters and doubters were out in full force last week, but 100 Thieves rallied for a very convincing 2-0 weekend that included a boring, yet calculated win against TL and a birthday bash for Ssumday against IMT. Jordan and Cole revel in the glory of victory, with their trust in Abbedagge validated (at least for now). They also analyze the playstyle shift the team has made and its parallel to the 2018 Thieves - are we new, old, AND improved? The dads seem to think so….

Esports fans tend to believe that as soon as your team loses one significant match, you can blow up the roster, hire new coaches, and immediately see success. What a foolish attitude. Wait.
That’s exactly what has happened with 100 Thieves’ Valorant program. After a flurry of changes that earned the ridicule of the twitteredditsphere, somehow the squad is looking fierce within just a few short weeks of practice and play under their belts. After a very long hiatus, the dads are back to Fast Peek Last Week!

After all of the hype and buildup to the 2022 Spring LCS Finals, 100T fans were rudely awakened to the fact that it’s Danny’s world and we’re just living in it. EG made the Thieves the third victim in a blistering loser’s bracket run of 3-0 victories to claim the org’s first LCS title and to assume the mantle of NA’s new hope, much to our chagrin. The 100Talk dads put themselves together to purge the sadness, discuss ways that we just didn’t play or feel like ourselves, and make predictions about just how long the LCS’ newfound fascination with EG (or should we say their players) will last.
They also work painstakingly through a long list of listener questions and takes tackling draft issues, the loser’s bracket buff, and the familiar refrain of possible roster changes (despite great success in the past 12 months).
It’s been an up-and-down year, 100Kids, but we’ve got a lot to be proud of - and a lot to look forward to.

It was a very close series, but ultimately 100T woke up and TL went to sleep as Abbedagge ulted into the enemy base and backdoored the Thieves into the LCS Grand Finals. The dads discuss what this series reveals about our team and pick many bones with the way analysts and casters are discussing 100T and their opponents. Among the conversations are classic hits such as “did they throw or did we win,” “look, Ssumday is incredibly good on Ornn,” and “Abbedagge on TF is a good thing.” New releases include “100T is actually C9’s boogeyman, not LS” and “just how huge of an advantage will we have in a stadium full of fans?”
Cole and Jordan also spend extra time with you, the faithful listener, and a whole lot of your takes. It’s what any good father would do, honestly.

Despite both dads predicting a #100Win over C9 in round 1 of the LCS playoffs, 100T exceeded expectations with stomps that featured the return of weakside Ssumday, aggressive bot lanes, Viktordagge, and a monstrous, rabid Closer. LCS fans are forced to move on from Regular Season MVP Summit (who went 2/23/5 in his last 4 games against 100T) and to accept a new title favorite in town - 100 Thieves.
Jordan and Cole talk about our positioning for our round 2 series against Team Liquid, how the 2 week break will impact the team, how much they care about winning the spring title, and as always - fielding listener questions and takes along the way.
It’s another happy game 100Talk, hot and fresh out of the oven.

100 Thieves came through big time this weekend, shutting the door on TSM's playoff hopes and delivering a customary thorough defeat of a sizzling hot C9 squad (as has been done in past splits). 100Talk had its most visible moment in LCS with our poll about Ssumday vs Closer as our MVP representative hitting the broadcast twice. The timing was perfect, as it appears to have shifted the narrative since HOW CAN ANYONE CHOOSE THE TOPLANER THAT WENT 0/8 AGAINST THE OTHER??? However, plans were ultimately foiled by yet another loss to Final Boss Dignitas.
As usual, Jordan and Cole debate whether weird losses matter. They also revel in the reform the staff has worked with the players to get this 100T squad humming at the perfect time in the season and make predictions for how the upcoming playoff weekend will go for the team. As we've said in podcasts of yore: it's a good time to be rooting for the Thieves.

Highly entertaining League of Legends was played this weekend by 100T. Running wild on the rift are Ssumday, Abbedagge, and objective bounties. A thorough defeat of Immortals was followed by yet another chapter in the vaunted series “Make Sure You Stick a Stake In EG’s Heart Or Else They Might Not Be Dead.” Your dads underscore what worked this weekend as 100 Thieves seems to be righting the LCS ship, plus debate the merits of Ssumday’s MVP candidacy (while Closer is seemingly occupying that discussion on other podcasts). Listener takes and predictions follow, as always.

Having been the beneficiary of the Golden Guardians Gives 503(c)(3) public charity, 100 Thieves now enjoys sole possession of 3rd place in the LCS standings after what is recorded by the impartial historians as a 2-0 weekend. Happily for 100T fans, playoffs is looking good - and there may even be an explanation for the team’s slow spring start. Mithy revealed in an interview that the org granted its players a more relaxed schedule as they recharged after a long grind for 2021 postseason. The dads debate whether this truly explains our performance and whether it’s ultimately a good decision in the long view of winning another LCS title. They also tackle listener takes, rejoice in the bans of the weekend, and put the 6-man roster legend to bed for good.

For the first time in forever - a weekend of 100T performing in line with expectations. That’s something we can build on, right??? The 100Talk dads are back to cover what was a pretty decent loss against Team Liquid and an enthusiastic win against CLG. Despite the notable improvements, some questions linger: Do we need more champions in our pools? Are we seeing more of the old 100T problems crop up again? Can Ssumday carry all the time? Where on earth is our bot lane’s potency? Jordan and Cole also review the recent update from PapaSmithy on reddit on Tenacity & The Long-Rumored 6-Man Roster and lay out what it does and does not tell us. Plus, as always - listener takes and predictions for week 6. We ALWAYS predict week 6, it’s great.

The Spring of Perplexity abides. In perhaps the most exasperating weekend for 100T fans, the Thieves secured a (relatively) meaningless win against a floundering TSM, a backbreaking loss of could-have-been for C9, and a complete mental lapse against Dignitas. After a round robin that defied all expectations - and not in a good way, fans are left with more questions than answers. The dads try to reasonably assess the issues: Ssumday 1v9, stale drafting, the shocking disintegration of our bot lane, and a Corki flying on autopilot by the name of Abbedagge. They also address calls for roster changes, the importance of the next couple of weekends, and even a hypothesis of behind-the-scenes issues. It’s a packed 100Talk ready for you kids - come and eat it up!

The Spring of Perplexity abides. After a systematic dismantling of Golden Guardians, 100 Thieves drops its third game of 2022 to everyman squad FlyQuest. 4-2 certainly isn’t a bad record, but it hasn’t stopped 100T fans from behaving as if the sky is falling. The finger seems to be most often pointing at Abbedagge, so the dads dive in to sort out whether blaming him is warranted. They also discuss the perils of objective bounty gold, how alternative comps are flipping games in the meta, and the REAL reason for the loss against FLY - Tricia’s Ikebana Curse.
The split is young, 100T fans. Come to your dads for counsel.

What could have been an excellent 2nd week of 100 Thieves LCS unfortunately got a big ugly black eye when the squad threw a lead and dropped a game to the questionable Immortals. Fortunately, the bounce-back was real as the boys rallied to dismantle a very talented Evil Geniuses team. The dads spend a lot of time discussing what Ssumday’s excellent form means for the planned 6-man 100T roster and whether we’ll see Tenacity in the LCS this split. They also tackle the Tryndamere pick, Abbedagge’s 40,000 damage Viktor, and tackle a slew of listener takes (mostly about the 6-man roster again but hey!). It’s time to 100Talk.

Rumors of 100T’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The champs entered the 2022 spring split as underdogs to TL and came out…overdogs. With a clean 2-0 and a slow, calculated style, the Thieves look to have shaken off their poor Lock In performance like Jay-Z brushing his shoulder off. Jordan and Cole host a fireside to talk about the team’s adapted strategy and the new Berry buff, plus defend Abbedagge against way-too-early accusations of him being a merely “okay” player. Of course, they also take time to answer their kids’ questions about the team and make prophetic proclamations on the coming weekend’s matches. 100Talk is back in form as well - listen up, yall.

Defying all predictions, expectations, and logic, 100 Thieves were promptly bounced from the LCS Lock In tournament in quarterfinals by a scrappy(???) Dignitas team. The Thieves will have to watch the rest of the tourney from home like us peasants. Despite very strong showings against some teams during the group stage, it seems there is much rust to be shaken off. The dads get together to talk about whether 100T is doing justice to their 6-man roster concept, what we learned about Ssumday and Tenacity, what’s going on with Abbedagge, and why we may need a different drafting approach for the bot lane. Plus, they answer a record number of listener questions and takes. ARE WE IN SHAMBLES PEOPLE??? Maybe. We’ll have to wait a couple of weeks to really find out.

100T’s LCS Lock In started out as planned, but quickly took an unexpected turn with the subbing in of Tenacity and the subsequent destruction at the hands of an anemic FlyQuest squad. If the dads were in a tough position trying to draw any conclusions about the 2022 Thieves before, things just got a lot more complicated. They discuss the merits of Tenacity criticism and the strategy of a 6-man roster, as well as the meaning of a veteran Ssumday presence on a reigning LCS championship team. They also reluctantly play blame game with early missteps and field listener takes (including the return of caster records courtesy of Austin Beck!). 100Talk is already in full swing, so come on down.

The dads are back from basking in the glow of an LCS title and a dominating Worlds victory over EDG. The holiday season gave Jordan and Cole plenty of time to think about the important questions about the upcoming season, like in which fashion 100T will win Worlds. In this pre-Lock-In episode of 100Talk, they break down whether Lock-in will be meaningful for the Thieves and the league as a whole, what the measuring stick for success is during the tournament, and reframing expectations of a winning organization. Plus, a segment in which Cole puzzles over how 100T could not possibly be considered favorites at this moment. Sounds like another fine podcast, so grab a glass of Rip It and take it alllllll in.

Today, the dads just happened to have JungleJuice lined up to interview. They were gifted with the announcement of 100T's 2022 LCS roster and the signing of General Sniper to 100X just before the podcast. Funny how things work sometimes.
With 100T winning the onseason AND (seemingly) the offseason, Jordan and Cole speak with 100T Head of LoL Strategy and Analytics Joseph "JungleJuice" Jang. They ask how the team felt about their Worlds performance, what magic went into a winning LCS season, and the "good problem to have" - an incredible surplus of talent at the developmental level.

100 Thieves’ remarkable LCS season has come to a close with a 3-3 finish in the group stage at Worlds, just missing an advance to semifinals. However, as one last parting gift, the squad systematically dismantled EDG to prove that the Thieves should still be seen as an international threat. Jordan and Cole talk about nerves, the growth of the squad over the split and over this tournament, and contextualize a 3-3 against some of the best League of Legends teams on Earth. The dads also weigh in on whether roster moves should be in the team’s plans for 2022, field listener questions and takes, and express their gratitude for the players, staff, and fans that made this the most memorable 100T season we’ve ever had.
It was a great year, 100 Thieves fans. We’ll remember it forever.

After picking up a much-needed win against Detonation FocusMe, 100 Thieves failed to overcome T1 in a crucial group stage match. Now, the squad faces a second round robin where they likely need to go at least 2-1 to have a chance to survive. The dads have a special mid-week meeting to talk about beloved topics such as What The Heck Is Going On With These Drafts and Can We Perform On The Big Stage When It Really Matters. They also observe what appear to be some quite nervous younger players and debate what can be done to finally land a LeBlanc chain. The darkness may be coming. It’s shadow time, buddy. One more run through the group will decide all.

100 Thieves’ 2021 Worlds journey has begun with an expected loss to EDG. Despite an end of game stat sheet that looks pretty bleak, things may not be as they seem. Jordan and Cole explain why they’re not too worried about today’s performance (cough cough DRAFT cough) and why despite missing a LOT of MF ults, FBI looked reasonably convincing during his rookie Worlds debut.

100 Thieves’ first international Valorant showing earned a top 4 finish and notched a couple of extremely memorable comeback wins, including one against the world champion team. While a loss in semifinals to a white-hot Envy forces the squad into the Last Chance Qualifiers for Valorant Champions, there’s still much to be proud of for 100T fans. Yet roster and strategy questions remain for some fans whose appetites for championships are insatiable. The 100Talk dads fly through buzzing fan conversations including how NA ranks among the major regions, the Jett OP meta, and what 100T’s chances will be to win LCQ. Let’s Fast Peek Last Week!

100 THIEVES ARE YOUR LCS CHAMPIONS, 100TALKERS!!!
A weekend that silenced the doubters. A weekend that brought a championship. A weekend that means EVERYTHING for fans. We’ve been here with you all for four seasons, some better than others. And now we can finally say that 100T has climbed the mountain and rules NA League of Legends. The team fired on all cylinders and systematically dismantled C9 and TL en route to one of the most lopsided finals victories of all time. Jordan and Cole drink in the memories and the feelings, sing the praises of players and staff, and toast to the best podcast community on the planet.

After a closer-than-expected series with TL (well, by “analysts” at least), Jordan and Cole circle the 100T family around to break down the make or break moments and what we learned from them. From a heart-stopping 12k gold comeback to Ssumday’s continued good form to an FBI search for FBI, there are some real puzzling topics in this week’s pod. The dads go long to predict what will happen during championship weekend and how deep this version of the Thieves can go. And as always, they take time to give fatherly counsel to the fan takes submitted via Twitter.

A loss to TSM sees 100T falling to 2nd place in the last week of the regular season, but still locks in a bye week for the squad rolling into playoffs. A strong showing against GG would be the final regular season match for the starters, as the academy team played a deceptively competitive game against EG to round out the split. Now, with two weeks to prepare, 100T stands poised to make a run at an LCS title. The dads discuss momentum and form and wonder whether it will be maintained over a longer-than-usual reprieve, and discuss the implications of the playoff picture. Next week’s episode will feature a more detailed look at our first playoff matchup of the split!

While week 7 had some cracks showing in the 100T facade, things really started to crumble in week 8. With one week left in the LCS summer split regular season, 100 Thieves face slipping out of 1st place, possibly out of second place (and therefore a playoff bye), and losing the magic that has been with the team for most of the split. It’s a tough spot for fans, too - feeling like we just aren’t playing the same way as we did just mere weeks ago. For the first time, 100T’s 2021 Worlds dreams feel mortal. But as always, the dads are here to give some tough love. Jordan and Cole explain the concerns they have about the squad when it comes to the meta, individual performances, and macro play. The question remains - do the Thieves have enough in the tank to grab the LCS bull by the horns and seize first place? With one of the most important weeks of 100T LCS in front of us, we shall see.

Weird loss against Dignitas, right? Another Friday night misstep from the Thieves ignited a debate about whether 100T is “experimenting” with different picks and strategies or whether we just don’t focus enough on “easier” competition. Cole and Jordan tell the 100Talkers where they stand on these and other important issues, such as:
-Since it’s obvious a 100T player should win MVP, which one will it be?
-Why can’t TL touch us this split?
-Why was Closer vibing in the baron pit while the rest of the team was losing a teamfight to FLY?
Plus, we talk about the 100T x Gucci backpack, why fans shouldn’t complain about the price, and what it means for 100T and gaming brands as a whole.

Despite looking mortal for really the first weekend this split, 100T is able to crush hardstuck 2nd TSM in a convincing win and look on form while doing it. The losses to resurrected Golden Guardians and surging Evil Geniuses? Those left some questions, like was it really just a bad week of practice or are there some cracks in the foundation of the squad?. The dads weigh in on those questions and give their takes on how confident fans should be in 100T as we head into the last round robin of the LCS year. Plus, as always, they field listener takes and questions and officially name the “Potential Bad Takes” segment. And don’t forget a short segment on the meaning of the recently-announced 100T x Gucci collab on the way next week.

This weekend was a celebration of greatness - that’s right, another 3-0 weekend for the Thieves. 100T officially became the first team NOT named C9, TL, or TSM to hold sole possession of first place since Optic in 2019 (757 days). With the Thieves now a fully-established LCS favorite, both fans and the League community at large are putting the team under a microscope to magnify every flaw there is. We’ve reached it, y’all: the nitpicking phase. The dads come together to remind everyone that making mountains out of molehills is only natural when it comes to analyzing the favorite. They discuss which flaws may be indicative of a larger problem (spoiler alert: basically none) and make the case for this being a very good and complete team.
As usual, they also tackle a bevvy of listener takes and questions and make predictions for this weekend with Prophet Cole looking to take his undefeated summer split streak into week 6.

100Talk got everything we wanted for our 3rd podcast birthday: A banger Rec League, lots of fan content, gifted subs, and another 3-0 week from 100 Thieves. This LCS team is turning heads and making everyone take notice (Upcomer especially, amirite???). With 100T Finally being considered the top LCS contender, Jordan and Cole delight in the amazing position the team is in. Though the early game still needs to be shored up, the squad is lawnmowering through the rest of the field.
The dads take this opportunity to discuss whether an LCS title or a reasonable performance at Worlds would mean more, debate which roster moves Reapered could be hinting at making and what their significance would be, and monologue about what it has meant for this team to hit its stride in such a quick time.
Plus - some bonus conversation about 100T’s new Foundations apparel line of always available clothing for fans. There’s never been a better time to be a fan of 100T.

100T turns in a PERFECT 2-0 weekend in the LCS and the dads come together to bask in the glory of crushing the LCS contender hydra’s final head. They also have to address that CLG game, which, yeah, whatever. Despite dropping one to the perma-CC comp, Jordan and Cole are super high on this 100 Thieves team, and there’s good reason to be. The impact of Reapered continues to be a major factor, and it’s looking like an impossible task for LCS teams to take down 100 Thieves in a best of 5. All of this and more in this week’s 100Talk.

Just read the title. That’s the description.
The dads come together to sing praises on an absolutely stunning week of League of Legends played by 100 Thieves. Among the names praised: Reapered, Abbedagge, Ssumday, Huhi, FBI, Closer...because literally everyone played so well this weekend. Jordan and Cole debate whether there are any weaknesses to this team and wonder just how long this party will last (spoiler alert: Worlds Finals), as well as field a large number of listener takes and comments. It’s a very VERY good time to be a fan of 100T LCS, so spend some time with us.

After months of buildup, 100T fans got exactly what they wanted for week 1 of Summer LCS - Abbedagge on Karma. Three times. Okay, maybe it wasn’t what we were picturing, but after GAing the first game from the record books, this 100T squad has sprinted out of the gates with a couple of dominant wins against quality teams. With things looking promising early, Jordan and Cole break down what excites them about the (admittedly) small sample size of games from this weekend and why they believe this year might be different for 100 Thieves.

LCS returns this week and the new-look 100 Thieves aims for Worlds. For once, we have the pieces to do it. Cole and Jordan have a preseason pow wow to talk about which storylines they have their eyes on for this split, a very revealing and exciting interview from new 100T coach Reapered, and realistic expectations for a team that has a TON of potential. Plus, the dads field some listener takes and make predictions for week 1 of Summer 2021. The strange new feeling you’re feeling is hope, 100T fans. Let’s talk about it.

In a very disappointing turn of events, 100 Thieves' Valorant squad gets eliminated from VCT Stage 2 and falls short of qualifying for the championship in Iceland. Jordan and Cole attempt to be the grown up voice of reason in the room, discussing just how close the matches were, but also struggle with the child inside who wants to cry. Along the way, Jordan makes Cole role play as GM of this 100T squad in making a plan to bounce back for Stage 3, and the dads field another incendiary take from the community.

April 19th, 2021 was the best day in 100T League of Legends history so far. We’re predicting it’s only going to get better from here.
Abbedagge and Reapered are now Thieves, and Ssumday got his green card. Every fan’s top 3 wishes for the squad have been granted. Jordan and Cole come together in a celebration of years of hope and belief paying off - and we haven’t even played a game with the roster yet. One thing’s for sure - 100 Thieves are NOT messing around. They want to win. And we’re going to be watching it all the way.

100 Thieves are your Stage 2 VALORANT….Challengers...Closed? Qualifier...1? Champions. Or something. It’s really clear that we won something this past weekend. So the good folks at 100T ordered another season of everyone’s favorite VALORANT podcast, Fast Peek Last Week!
The dads tackle such pressing issues as “wow, Ethan is really good” and “this team seems really good” and “we have confidence in this really good team.” Jordan gives an ultra-clear breakdown of the VALORANT Champions Tour format that definitely does not cause a short circuit in Cole’s brain. Plus, we address quite the incendiary take from a special viewer. Like Owl City says, it’s always a good time.

The result of 100T’s playoff series against TSM was not surprising, but the manner in which it transpired arguably was (unless you are Prophet Cole and you see all). The dads address the deflated 100 Thieves fanbase to talk about why the midlane discussion doesn’t really matter, our coach being between a rock and a hard place when it comes to draft, how narratives affect the scene, and Cole gives a very long rant on the Cult of Damonte. Bonus content includes a breakdown of the just-revealed 100T apparel drop coming up this Saturday.

100 Thieves cleared the bar against Dignitas by a higher margin than we anticipated. A decisive 3-0 featured an appearance from Old Dominant Ssumday, PermaHecarim Closer, Damage Dealer Ryoma, Always Good Bot Lane, and Forgiving Draft Dignitas. We liked it. It feels a little like 100T has their groove back, but how much can we really read into this weekend?
The dads spend time talking about what was different this go-around, discuss why the midlaner debate between Damonte and Ryoma should be permanently put to rest, and the challenges of communicating to fans faced by Papasmithy and Co. Plus, they make predictions on how 100T’s next series vs TSM will play out.

Prophet Cole has been on fire lately, and came through again this weekend as C9 held 100T’s hand tightly and escorted them to the loser’s bracket. After the expected 3-0 broom job, not much has changed. Ssumday continues to uncharacteristically slump and the Thieves play standard when they could likely benefit from getting a little funky with it. Hesitantly, the dads are starting to look in the direction of team leadership and ask why we seem to just get worse with time. They also discuss the frightful implications of losing to Dignitas, something that is entirely possible this upcoming weekend. 100 Thieves may be in for some major changes depending on the results of this weekend...

Spring 2021 will forever be remembered by 100 Thieves fans as the year we talked ourselves out of our reasonable expectations of the team. After a full split of games and a rollercoaster of ups and downs, we’ve landed in 4th place - exactly where most of us projected we’d be. So why all the disappointment? Why the frustration?
In (we hate to say it) what is kinda typical fashion, we’ve gotten there with a series of unexpected and maddening trends and an inability to maintain form we show early. Jordan and Cole go through the hot-button Thieves issues like whether Ssumday is slumping, what do we know about Ryoma and Damonte, and is 4th place “good enough for now.” And the dads even give us an important reminder - it’s really not a bad place to be, for now. Listen here.

Prophet Cole called it - 100T can’t resist the urge to play midlaner roulette and they rotated Ryoma in for Damonte for week 5. The results are TOTALLY CONCLUSIVE with NO ROOM FOR DISAGREEMENT. So naturally, the dads talk about it for 90+ minutes. While most of the conversation breaks down what the Thieves look like with each midlaner on the rift, discussion also moves to some lackluster form from Closer and Ssumday. Oh, and they fit in some listener takes as well.

With many 100T fans panicking about the team despite a 2-1 weekend, Jordan and Cole attempt to “calm everyone the h*ck down” while also acknowledging a couple of weaknesses they perceive with this team. As always, they spend way too much time talking about Damonte, but also examine the meta’s effect on the squad and whether or not fans are shifting the goalposts when it comes to expectations. They answer listener questions and takes, and even spend some time talking about the Valorant team’s replacement of Dicey with Ethan. Buckle up, it’s a long ride.

Uh oh - 100T blundered a week. Jordan and Cole aren’t TOO worried, but in the quiet lonely hours they admit into their pillows that they ARE worried a bit. The dads still believe that 100 Thieves is a contender, but this weekend exposed some areas for improvement. And hey, 2nd place in the LCS is sure better than where we’ve been in previous years, right? This episode of the podcast lays out some of the drafting and champ pool woes facing the team, some of the ways our team needs to find its footing, and looks ahead to what could be a pretty challenging week for the Ssumday Guardians. Protect him at all costs, boys.

0:34:13 - GG: Picking Rell pt. 1. Do we gank anymore (no.)? Playing a strong look into a prepared counter-comp. Huhi giveth, Huhi taketh away.
0:56:54 - General Topics: Are we “expanding the playstyle”? Ssumday’s struggles. A look at champions played (aka champion pools). Quick reminder: we’re 6-3 and 2nd after first round robin.
1:12:49 - Listener Takes: Don’t panic. How we bounce back is what’s important. We are missing out on meta picks. Criticism of the champ pool is exaggerated.
1:22:16 - Predictions: another 3-0???

100 Thieves may have dropped a game to Cloud9 this past weekend, but that isn’t discouraging the dads from getting very excited about this team. Holding on to a 1st place standing atop the LCS rankings, 100T looks poised to contend for a domestic title this year if current form holds or improves. Jordan and Cole talk through their observations from this week’s matches and provide some recaps of what could be indicators of important trends for fans to watch throughout this split. Plus, they field the greatest set of listener takes and questions to date en route to the longest 100Talk episode in its “storied” history.
100T is GOOD, y’all.

After Cole & Jordan both successfully predict a 3-0 week 1, they get together to come clean that it didn't exactly play out as expected. Close games for 100T vs EG and CLG give light to some realistic concerns about the team's status, but the dads caution everyone against overreaction. With Very Serious Competition(TM) ahead, they debate whether this 100 Thieves squad belongs in the upper echelon of LCS teams, while answering listener questions and takes along the way.
Oh, and a wager is instituted for Cole to pay if Damonte solo kills Perkz this weekend...don't forget to weigh in.

Looks like 100 Thieves is a pretty good League of Legends team. That doesn’t stop the dads from having a ton to say. Jordan and Cole jump into discussions about Damonte coming back to earth, unexpected questionable drafting decisions, and whether or not choker DNA needs to be exorcised from this team. We’re not gonna lie to you - it’s a kinda picky discussion, but fortunately 100T is good enough for that to be the case!

The rarest of 100Talk episode genres: Cole is optimistic for 80 minutes. The LCS Lock-In tournament is going swimmingly for 100 Thieves and the dads are all about it. By now, we’ve seen enough to point out ‘trends,’ even though they are not yet ‘solid takeaways’ - And the trend report is very good. Specific points of discussion include unbelievable stat lines from Damonte and Closer, a read on the 100T playstyle, and of course, a bevy of listener takes about Tanner Time.

LCS is back. The Thieves are back. 100Talk is back.
It’s far too early in 100 Thieves’ LCS season to be performing detailed analysis and drawing hard conclusions about this brand new squad, which is why your dads are back to do just that. Jordan and Cole react to a somewhat surprising weekend of League of Legends action with 100T sitting in a fairly good spot. They discuss what emerging themes are poised to follow fan discussion throughout the year, agree to give Damonte a chance, and of course address a handful of listener takes and questions along the way.

It's a great time to be a 100 Thieves fan. The past week's Valorant action for the JBL Quantum Cup was all an exhibition, right?

Jordan and Cole come together to enjoy what has been a great finale for the Valorant year and assure all 100T fans that yes, this is the team to beat in NA. They also look back at the five critical points of the year and what that means for the team moving forward.

100 Thieves latest apparel drop is The Jam Collection. Cole and Jordan go through the new line from 100T piece by piece, analyze the strengths and shortfalls, and express some difficult truths about the direction of the once white-hot brand’s apparel. The dads also hearken back to previous 100T drops and designs and contrast how the current apparel approach differs from what we’ve seen in the recent past.
This one is a banger.

Roster leaks have hit the interwebs and it appears 100 Thieves is grabbing 4/5 pieces from Golden Guardians. While some of that is great (poggers, for you zoomers), some of it doesn't feel that great (monkaS for you zoomers). Either way, things feel a little...different...this year. Cole and Jordan gather the 100Kids around to have a family council and decide how we feel about it.
Listen here.TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro - we are the Golden Guardians now
0:04:34 - Ssumday: still our franchise player. Will we actually play around him this time?
0:08:01 - Closer: an unexpected move to lock-in an import all-star. How do you justify this move when an import mid is needed?
00:14:37 - Damonte: look this segment is really long but it’s what you came to watch, so watch the whole thing.
00:47:08 - FBI: making a big bet on what seems likely to be top domestic ADC talent for the foreseeable future.
00:53:09 - Huhi: the redemption arc is complete and Huhi returns; what does this mean for Poome?
01:02:30 - Trust The Papa: Are we still a “developmental org”? What does that mean when “win now” is clearly non-negotiable?
01:09:18 - Journo rivalries (new challenger approaching??) save 100T?

100T places 2nd in the First Strike Closed Qualifier and appears to be an actual Team To Reckon With. Jordan and Cole debate the statement we made as a squad and if we have rivalries developing. Friend of the show Simo comes on to play all-time quarterback, throwing bombs all over the field as he takes every question we pitch him. It's a good time to be a 100 Thieves fan!

100T turned in a solid but not earth-shattering first performance as a roster in the First Strike open qualifier and landed in 8th place. Jordan and Cole give a roadmap for the team's progress, parse the meaning of a razor thin win over Moon Racoons (under weird circumstances) and a stinker against TSM, talk about our new hired young guns in Asuna and Dicey, plus bring in everyone's favorite VALORANT caster Simo to give some perspective on how far along 100T's team chemistry is in this short time.

They join forces with amateur LoL scene experts Raafaa (@raafaacasts) and Hyper10sion (@Hyper10sion_) to hear their takes on 100T's success with the squad, the challenges of an unstructured amateur environment, and what the lasting impact of 100X will be on the development of NA talent.

Dear Diary, It’s me - NA Fan. Worlds is finally here. It’s sad that the only team worth cheering for didn’t make it, but during this competition, you know the drill - NA over everything. So yeah, I woke up early to watch some Team Liquid games. They went exactly as I hoped for. Strong victories. All of the analysts got it wrong. Maybe EU isn’t actually that good. Yadda yadda. But instead of feeling optimistic, all I can think of right now is Bug Juice... Jordan and Cole bring back a 2019 series on League of Legends Worlds and update it for the brand new year.

Listen here.TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:03:41 - Joel: We should use some of those VC bucks to buy a star midlaner and change our meme-team designation 0:18:02 - Punisher: Bring in Sneaky and Smoothie to entice Jensen into leaving TL for 100T (don’t call us Old C9) 0:28:47 - DREC: Positions feel pretty solid outside of jungle and mid, and we should look either at available domestic alternatives or an import to provide experience and leadership 0:40:12 - PaperID: GG and Fly started cold and are now hot while we have the opposite trajectory. We should look to emulate their slow ascent rather than find a quick fix 0:53:44 - KingofJarls: 100T is too trigger happy with young talent. We (and the scene) should place more value in the old guard 1:05:55 - TheSnailSage: We should commit to Ssumday or trade him. He’s too valuable to justify doing anything else

It’s official: 2020 is the worst year ever. 100T is bounced in embarrassing fashion from LCS playoffs courtesy of banger-tweet-slinging Evil Geniuses (#LIVEEVIL). 100Kids are left feeling underwhelmed by this year’s results and scrambling for answers to some obvious problems. We’re still rebuilding and it’s still going to be rough. Jordan and Cole come together to talk about toxicity in the NA scene, reasonable expectations for player development, teams “solving” our squad, and the difficulty of rearranging the pieces (or throwing some away in favor of new ones) to position us for 2021. It’s a tough time to be a fan.

100T bombed out of the FaZe Clan Valorant Invitational, and from what little we were able to see, things are not looking good. The dads come together to discuss Hiko's own criticism of his team, JasonR's opinions on Hiko's leadership, and weigh in on how soon we can expect roster changes. They also contrast 100 Thieves' approach to entering this new esport with Team Liquid's, and the comparison is not a favorable one.

100T submits perhaps the most 100T weekend of League of Legends ever, by losing a must-win in a heartbreaking way and then going on to absolutely stomp in an inconsequential match the next day. It’s official - we’re a 7th place team and will be battling through playoffs from the losers’ bracket (with our dear friends Dignitas). Cole and Jordan have a meeting of the dads and complete the 100T picture as we prepare for whatever our crew has in store for us in the postseason. Whatever happens, you can bet we’ll come out of it perplexed!

As we collect more data on the latest 100T LCS roster, it's becoming clear that making Worlds may just be out of reach. Cole and Jordan talk about which parts of the roster are working and why it seems that we've already been pegged to a single playstyle despite the shakeup. 100T fans are getting frustrated with inconsistency, and decision time is looming. How will Papa proceed?

Your dads are back with a new show exploring #100T's VALORANT squad. This faster-paced and shorter podcast will emphasize the fan perspective over analysis, and will be a super fun time. Despite some production issues that literally appeared out of nowhere, we have an excellent time launching our first episode and are fortunate to have the already-legendary Simo (https://twitter.com/simowastaken) join us for our Neural Theft segment - where we steal a smart guy's knowledge. Community involvement is also on the table for our Incendiary segment.
This week, we grapple with 100T's rocky start in this new esport and try to suss out if this roster is a long term project or a short term way for us to capture excitement around the scene, plus analyze some of Hiko's leadership style. Simo gives us the goods on the team's agent selection and lack of variation, plus questions some of the team's structure.
Join us as we Fast Peek Last Week!
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - What this show is
2:05 - Hiko’s internet and its implications
5:44 - What is 100T’s objective with this roster?
8:27 - Do we feel like this team is finalized?
11:03 - Can we expect to be top 8 in the near future?
NEURAL THEFT
15:08 - Introduction to Simo (@simowastaken)
17:20 - If Venerated is the IGL, why is he playing these agents and opping?
19:15 - How our oppers/IGLs stack up against the others
20:30 - Agent selection: when are we going to see variation? Or Jett?
INCENDIARY - COMMUNITY TAKE OF THE WEEK
26:53 - What Incendiary is
27:31 - HoodieGod - Hiko isn’t performing as he should because he’s upset about how the 100T roster came togetherListen here.

The only consistency is inconsistency. After a bipolar week 7, Jordan and Cole feel like we’re finally starting to have some solid takeaways about how this team operates, and the prognosis is...alright. Despite some flashes of brilliance, drafting mistakes have robbed this team of a couple of wins and we find ourselves looking like the team with the highest ceiling of any 8th place team, possibly ever. The dads debate why this is and whether we can duct tape this thing up in time for the playoffs.
Listen here.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:04:42 - 100T vs CLG - A fairly dominant game (i mean not C9 dominant but)
00:07:02 - Ryoma on Galio - Thriving on this pick but are we running into a Stunt situation?
00:11:34 - The Contractz early game - super dependent on draft; carrying losing lanes
00:19:20 - Cody Sun - Stepping up as asked/needed. Ultimate skillshot diff?
00:22:49 - 100T vs GG - Lose draft lose game
00:34:23 - Picking on Poome - fancy feet can’t save a level 1 Bard
00:38:40 - And the award for most embarrassing play of the split goes to…
00:41:38 - Ryoma builds a big lane lead but can’t carry (...could anyone have?)
00:47:58 - No free passes - assessing Poome on Bard beyond level 1
General topics
00:49:55 - After nearly 1 year, a clearer picture of Ryoma. Is this a Soligo meta?
00:57:06 - Are we a one-dimensional team? Two?
00:58:39 - Week 8 predictions (Is another consensus 2-0 prediction possible????!???)
01:02:00 - Listener Takes: What’s faster than lightning round

After an exhilarating week 5, 100T fans have the winds taken out of their sails with losses to TSM and TL in week 6. Cole and Jordan are just the dads you need to lift your spirits. They contextualize the losses and guide attention to what we’re learning about this squad and what’s possible in the near future - if we are cautious and observant. Heading into the last third of the split, there are reasons to be optimistic. Listen to find out why.

This past weekend, 100T pulled off the most convincing and dominating win in the franchise’s history over the towering titans of C9. The dads enjoy the moment by celebrating what we did well and what the new-found ceiling of this team could mean for the long run - Worlds is no longer out of the picture. Also, one Samichh makes good on his 100 gifted subs bet and more sub gifting goes down - it’s one heck of a night for 100Kids.

Look at us. Who would have thought? Jordan and Cole.
After tripping at the starting line to a 1-5 start, PapaSmithy steps in and replaces Meteos and Stunt with Contractz and Poome.

Even though 100 Thieves came out of this weekend with a better win percentage, some daunting questions are facing a squad that is running out of time to get in form for playoffs.

Easily the most scrutinized signing in 100T's short history, Ryoma has been the subject of much conversation among 100T fans. After a rough start to his tenure in LCS, he found his footing and established himself in the league as a competent midlaner, even having pop-off carry games during playoffs. Excited by his potential, Cole and Jordan secured an interview with the rookie to hear his thoughts on himself, the pressure cooker that is professional esports, and the future of 100T.
TIMESTAMPS: 1:35 - How did you deal with the pressure of being a 100T signing and unlock your potential over the course of the split? 4:24 - What was your expectation coming into the split, both of yourself and of your team? 9:25 - What do you feel fans don’t understand about you, 100T, or League in general that you wish you could correct? 11:33 - How much of a difference does online vs stage make? 14:33 - How has it felt playing for 100 Thieves and how does it differ from other teams you’ve played on? 18:01 - How do you and the other OCE imports view NA now that you’ve been here a split? 21:17 - What champs are you hoping you get to bring out in Summer that we didn’t see in Spring? 23:41 - Who was the hardest person to lane against in NA? 26:18 - How do you think about your very high damage to gold/xp ratio? 28:42 - Do you feel like you have fans on your side more at the end of the split? 30:19 - Do you feel like some of the weight of expectation is off after spring? 33:25 - Anything you want to say to the fans?
