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’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!

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

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.
