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

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...

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?...
