100T Eliminated, 2020 Confirmed Worst Year Ever - 100 Thieves 2020 LCS Summer Split Recap

It’s official: 2020 is the worst year ever. 100T is bounced in embarrassing fashion from LCS playoffs courtesy of banger-tweet-slinging Evil Geniuses (#LIVEEVIL). 100Kids are left feeling underwhelmed by this year’s results and scrambling for answers to some obvious problems. We’re still rebuilding and it’s still going to be rough. Jordan and Cole come together to talk about toxicity in the NA scene, reasonable expectations for player development, teams “solving” our squad, and the difficulty of rearranging the pieces (or throwing some away in favor of new ones) to position us for 2021. It’s a tough time to be a fan.


Listen here.

TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:02 - Toxicity, memeing, and MarkZ - making sense of an extremely toxic reaction 0:13:39 - Criticizing without flaming - taking a reasonable look at performances and fairly criticizing our weaknesses 0:17:16 - 100T vs EG - How to beat a team with two bans. Committing to a style and losing by it. 0:29:01 - What do you do when your one viable strategy isn’t enough to take a match off the 6 seed? 0:37:55 - Facing up to some very concerning gameplay issues in a series we’d rather forget (triple buff loss) 0:45:40 - How much time is enough time to make roster decisions? Do we have enough for Ryoma? For Poome? 0:57:57 - How different would fan reaction be if we eked out a win over EG? Why would that have felt so much better? 1:02:39 - Listener takes 1:07:42 - Wrapping 2020 and looking ahead to a long offseason

Familiar Start for the Unfamiliar Thieves - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 1 Recap

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This new 100T roster is starting the split a lot like the old 100T roster - slowly. Cole and Jordan bring the 100Kids together to explain why we're not overwhelmed, we're not underwhelmed, we're just - whelmed. The dads also talk about the perspective discrepancy that exists between evaluating the two team rookies (Tenacity and Busio), and why the narratives are more similar than different (read: Give Tenacity a freaking chance, yall, dang.) A good discussion ensues about Doublelift's new series "I make an entertaining video explaining what I think happened this weekend," and whether 100T's content outsourcing is going to play out positively or negatively. Oh yeah, and listener takes and questions galore! Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:08:44 - 100T vs C9 0:26:33 - 100T vs IMT 0:37:29 - Performance vs Hype: Rookie Edition 0:42:46 - New Recurring Segment: The 100T Content Part 0:56:29 - Listene...

100T Secures LCS Grand Finals - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2022 Playoffs Winners' Final

It was a very close series, but ultimately 100T woke up and TL went to sleep as Abbedagge ulted into the enemy base and backdoored the Thieves into the LCS Grand Finals. The dads discuss what this series reveals about our team and pick many bones with the way analysts and casters are discussing 100T and their opponents. Among the conversations are classic hits such as “did they throw or did we win,” “look, Ssumday is incredibly good on Ornn,” and “Abbedagge on TF is a good thing.” New releases include “100T is actually C9’s boogeyman, not LS” and “just how huge of an advantage will we have in a stadium full of fans?” Cole and Jordan also spend extra time with you, the faithful listener, and a whole lot of your takes. It’s what any good father would do, honestly. Gather round for a pre-title celebration edition of 100Talk. Listen here.
