Ryoma from 100 Thieves speaks on Spring 2020 LCS split, offseason plans

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?

100T Finishes 2nd in Summer Split - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 8 Recap

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. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro  0:06:11 - 100T vs FLY 0:17:53 - 100T vs CLG 0:30:02 - 100T vs TL Honda 0:50:48 - Who’s most winning team in LCS over last 3 splits?...

An Unexpected Loss and the Tendency to Overreact - 100T LCS Lock In Group Stage Recap

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.
