For Dust Thou Art, And Unto Dust Shalt Thou Return - 100 Thieves Finish 5th - Spring 2020 LCS Split Recap

In what turned out to be a coinflip series, 100T was eliminated by TSM to finish 5th place in the LCS for Spring 2020. However, the intensely close match was full of surprises: more Ssumday slippage, a Ryoma pop-off, and Cody Sun scorching. Cole and Jordan discuss salty runbacks, a new midlaner making his case for starting in NA, and the daunting task of improving a better-than-expected squad with limited options on the table.

TIMESTAMPS:
6:30 - Game 1: Win draft lose game
16:57 - Game 2: The salty runback, Ryoma is mighty
33:43 - Game 3: Ssumday continues to struggle, awaken the Cody
44:54 - Game 4: Everyone has a bad game and TSM is near perfect
50:56 - Game 5: Bjergsen breaks our hearts, again
57:37 - Reflecting on the split. What’s the team’s narrative?
1:03:32 - Listener Takes/Questions: We saw improvement all around, minus support. Do we expect changes, and what changes do we want? What will need to change for Ssumday to stay? What’s next for Ryoma? Limits that Stunt and Ryoma champ pools place on the team.

1:23:04 - Closing thoughts on spring split

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. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:37 - Last week’s games :( 0:13:35 - Kaas is out 0:34:17 - Implications for the rest of the split 0:47:39 - Listener Takes 1:19:46 - Predictions 1:23:27 - Outro ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FOLLOW THE 100TAL
