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.

White Hot 100T’s Rocket Doesn’t Stop - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 8 Recap

100T has managed to climb from 8th place to 3rd place in a matter of a week, and fans are beside themselves. 7 straight wins are making the dads think that this is more than a honeymoon with Nukeduck - it just may be true love. Sitting pretty in winner’s bracket for this weekend, the Thieves look to be a dark horse contender for the LCS title, seemingly out of nowhere. Cole and Jordan recap the joy that was this weekend, including 100Talk parting gifts from Brother Solo and Brother Jojo and some sweet revenge against the 100T understudies, CLG. You notice how I didn’t mention Immortals? Turns out you never need to. With a newfound sense of confidence and killer teamfighting prowess, 100T is positioned for a playoff run. The dads discuss how deep 100T DNA runs and project what will happen in the PapaSmithy revenge series, plus field a heaping helping of listener takes and questions. It’s 100Talk in rare form - Thieves Nation, let’s ride! Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro  0:0...
