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

The Last Rodeo feat. John Robinson

There's no better way to send off 100Talk than to be joined by the one and only John Robinson, President and COO of 100 Thieves. John joins Jordan and Cole for a look at some of the best moments of 100Talk and 100 Thieves, the evolving business strategy of the org, and most importantly - what the incredible 100Talk community has meant to the org and to the dads. Plus, John surprises with an insane gift opened live during the show. And if you're lucky, you may hear a couple of important and timely leaks... If you are an audio-only listener, let us take a moment to thank you for being with us. It's been an honor to host these conversations and try to give an honest and fun perspective of what it's like to be an esports fan during the craziest wave of the industry. While this is the final audio podcast for 100Talk, we'll let the show's episodes live on if you ever feel like revisiting. And we'll say for the final time - we love you, and we miss you already. Tak...

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?...
