100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast

Uh oh - 100T blundered a week. Jordan and Cole aren’t TOO worried, but in the quiet lonely hours they admit into their pillows that they ARE worried a bit. The dads still believe that 100 Thieves is a contender, but this weekend exposed some areas for improvement. And hey, 2nd place in the LCS is sure better than where we’ve been in previous years, right? This episode of the podcast lays out some of the drafting and champ pool woes facing the team, some of the ways our team needs to find its footing, and looks ahead to what could be a pretty challenging week for the Ssumday Guardians.

100 Thieves may have dropped a game to Cloud9 this past weekend, but that isn’t discouraging the dads from getting very excited about this team. Holding on to a 1st place standing atop the LCS rankings, 100T looks poised to contend for a domestic title this year if current form holds or improves. Jordan and Cole talk through their observations from this week’s matches and provide some recaps of what could be indicators of important trends for fans to watch throughout this split.

After Cole & Jordan both successfully predict a 3-0 week 1, they get together to come clean that it didn't exactly play out as expected. Close games for 100T vs EG and CLG give light to some realistic concerns about the team's status, but the dads caution everyone against overreaction. With Very Serious Competition(TM) ahead, they debate whether this 100 Thieves squad belongs in the upper echelon of LCS teams, while answering listener questions and takes along the way. Oh, and a wager is instituted for Cole to pay if Damonte solo kills Perkz this weekend...don't forget to weigh in.  Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:03:26 - EG: The ugly side of aggression.

Looks like 100 Thieves is a pretty good League of Legends team. That doesn’t stop the dads from having a ton to say. Jordan and Cole jump into discussions about Damonte coming back to earth, unexpected questionable drafting decisions, and whether or not choker DNA needs to be exorcised from this team. We’re not gonna lie to you - it’s a kinda picky discussion, but fortunately 100T is good enough for that to be the case!
