Bring the Buff LA, Slow but Actual Improvement

Still jet lagged and airport sick from their travels to LA, Cole and Jordan power through and return for another episode of 100Talk. We #BroughtTheBuff to empower Ssumday’s magical 2v1 encore and a much-needed win against CLG. Not even the 100Talk buff could take down the mighty C9, though, who seem destined to again (fail to make it out of groups) place a banner in the rafters. The guys discuss what they’re looking to see improved from the players, plus answer listener questions and make good on their promise to bless (read: curse) your lives with lore readings.


Listen here.


TIMESTAMPS:
2:41 - 100Talk Bring the Buff LA, LA trip reflections and insightful considerations
8:00 - 100T vs CLG: We #BroughtTheBuff, the solo kill that nearly was, inverting our dragon fortunes, how much does a win against 0-4 CLG mean?
26:58 - 100T vs C9: Ssumday plays Aatrox but maybe he shouldn’t have, we get punched and we punch back, C9 is a monster and who can stop them
43:20 - General topics: Let’s talk about the jungle; what’s going on with Meteos? Let’s also talk about Stunt
56:35 - Next week: TL (2-2), IMT (2-2). We can’t all be middle of the pack after next week
59:31 - Listener questions/takes: Team vibe, bad at drafting? Ryoma CS, are we punching above or below our weight class?

100T’s Strategy Struggles - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 5 Recap

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!

Reverse Sweep Energy - LCS Lock-In Semifinals - 100T Falls to C9

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! Oh, and stay tuned as 100Talk history is made with never-before-seen game predictions….  Listen here.

100T Takes the Nukelear Option - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 6 Recap

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??? Listen here.
