100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast

Your dads are back with a new show exploring #100T's VALORANT squad. This faster-paced and shorter podcast will emphasize the fan perspective over analysis, and will be a super fun time. Despite some production issues that literally appeared out of nowhere, we have an excellent time launching our first episode and are fortunate to have the already-legendary Simo (https://twitter.com/simowastaken) join us for our Neural Theft segment - where we steal a smart guy's knowledge. Community involvement is also on the table for our Incendiary segment. This week, we grapple with 100T's rocky start in this new esport and try to suss out if this roster is a long term project or a short term way for us to capture excitement around the scene, plus analyze some of Hiko's leadership style. Simo gives us the goods on the team's agent selection and lack of variation, plus questions some of the team's structure. Join us as we Fast Peek Last Week! TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - What this show

The only consistency is inconsistency. After a bipolar week 7, Jordan and Cole feel like we’re finally starting to have some solid takeaways about how this team operates, and the prognosis is...alright. Despite some flashes of brilliance, drafting mistakes have robbed this team of a couple of wins and we find ourselves looking like the team with the highest ceiling of any 8th place team, possibly ever. The dads debate why this is and whether we can duct tape this thing up in time for the playoffs. Listen here.

After an exhilarating week 5, 100T fans have the winds taken out of their sails with losses to TSM and TL in week 6. Cole and Jordan are just the dads you need to lift your spirits. They contextualize the losses and guide attention to what we’re learning about this squad and what’s possible in the near future - if we are cautious and observant. Heading into the last third of the split, there are reasons to be optimistic. Listen to find out why. Listen here.

This past weekend, 100T pulled off the most convincing and dominating win in the franchise’s history over the towering titans of C9. The dads enjoy the moment by celebrating what we did well and what the new-found ceiling of this team could mean for the long run - Worlds is no longer out of the picture. Also, one Samichh makes good on his 100 gifted subs bet and more sub gifting goes down - it’s one heck of a night for 100Kids. Listen here.

Week 4 of LCS gave us our first peek at the latest iteration of the 100T roster - but is it new and IMPROVED, or just new? Jordan and Cole share how this weekend’s matches compared to their (admittedly low) expectations while pointing out some of the good and bad that the new guys contributed. Plus, the dads talk about the #TrustThePapa meter which is currently getting a nice halo effect from the surging-in-popularity-and-adoration 100X roster. It’s all here in the latest batch of 100Talking, powered by Rip It Energy Fuel! Listen here.
