Remembering Our Expectations of 100 Thieves - 100T LCS 2021 Week 6 Recap

Spring 2021 will forever be remembered by 100 Thieves fans as the year we talked ourselves out of our reasonable expectations of the team. After a full split of games and a rollercoaster of ups and downs, we’ve landed in 4th place - exactly where most of us projected we’d be. So why all the disappointment? Why the frustration?

In (we hate to say it) what is kinda typical fashion, we’ve gotten there with a series of unexpected and maddening trends and an inability to maintain form we show early. Jordan and Cole go through the hot-button Thieves issues like whether Ssumday is slumping, what do we know about Ryoma and Damonte, and is 4th place “good enough for now.” And the dads even give us an important reminder - it’s really not a bad place to be, for now.

Listen here.


TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - Intro
0:03:59 - Ssumday is slumping.
0:19:22 - What have we learned about Ryoma?
0:33:17 - Incremental improvement vs. sudden ascension

0:58:26 - Listener Takes
1:14:17 - Prophet Cole
1:18:28 - Outro

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?...
