100T Climbs to 3rd - 100 Thieves Spring 2020 LCS Week 9 + Tiebreakers Recap

Defying all expectations, 100 Thieves posted a 7-2 record on the back half of the split and won one out of two tiebreakers to lock up a 3rd place LCS finish. Now, due to some...ahem...creative playoff formatting and surprising choices by Cloud9, the squad faces a tough postseason run with C9 being the first round matchup. Fortunately, double elimination is on the table this split. Jordan and Cole have a meeting of the minds to discuss the playoff road and what appears to be newfound respect that the LCS community has for this “developmental project.” TIMESTAMPS: 5:20 - 100T vs TSM 7:03 - Cole always has his eye on Stunt 13:13 - The emergence of Cody Sun 18:18 - A baron triple take and a gifted penta 24:42 - 100T vs CLG - Counterpicks 27:51 - Playing against a chaotic opponent with nothing to lose 31:00 - Kudos to Meteos for bringing the veteran presence 36:31 - 100T vs FLY (3-4 Tiebreaker) - Showing another dimension 43:14 - Showing massive improvements in objective contro...

100T Battles from the Bedroom - 100 Thieves Spring 2020 LCS Week 8 Recap

This weekend’s LCS games fulfilled every non-gamer’s stereotype of esports, with matches of critical importance being played by dudes in their pajamas sitting alone in their dark rooms. 100T gave C9 a little more of a contest than they were expecting, while FlyQuest learned that they can’t social distance themselves from a good ol’-fashioned butt kicking. 100 Thieves may have done enough to save playoffs, and --dare we say it-- could contend for a top 4 playoff spot, giving them the chance for double elimination during their run. Suddenly, there’s a LOT to talk about, and Jordan and Cole are here for YOU. TIMESTAMPS: 3:43 - 100T vs C9 (El Blahsico) 10:25 - Meteos makes the most of a suboptimal pick, the team keeps trying 14:52 - The classic Ryoma: starts slow, shows up mid/late 21:00 - 100T vs FLY 24:33 - The 0/2/0 Ssumday show 28:19 - Ryoma’ shock(wave) and awe display 34:25 - Stunt’s better game; what does it mean for his split overall? 40:52 - @ryanbdavison asks how we assess bot...

El Blah-sico - "RIVALRY" WEEK SPECIAL with Bodied, a C9 Fancast

This week, 100Talk meets their long lost brothers that they didn't know existed - Havokpus and Frozencreek from Bodied: A Cloud9 Fancast. The guys discuss the newly-minted rivalry, affectionately dubed "El Blah-sico," and debate whether this rivalry has any reason to genuinely exist. Since we're all assuming a C9 stomp this weekend, the guys discuss MVP arguments, player swapping between the teams, and predict how exactly C9 will win this weekend. Listen here .

Decent or Just Lucky? 2-0 Weekend - 100 Thieves LCS 2020 Spring Week 7 Recap

It seems 100T is consistent at two things: Ssumday popping off, and the rest of the team being wildly INCONSISTENT. Even though the squad comes out with a 2-0 weekend, it was yet another week of playing well once and playing poorly another time. With only two more weeks in the split and a tough remaining schedule, Cole and Jordan try to assess whether this is a playoff team or if this split will go down as a failure. Listen here .
