100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast

While week 7 had some cracks showing in the 100T facade, things really started to crumble in week 8. With one week left in the LCS summer split regular season, 100 Thieves face slipping out of 1st place, possibly out of second place (and therefore a playoff bye), and losing the magic that has been with the team for most of the split. It’s a tough spot for fans, too - feeling like we just aren’t playing the same way as we did just mere weeks ago. For the first time, 100T’s 2021 Worlds dreams feel mortal. But as always, the dads are here to give some tough love. Jordan and Cole explain the concerns they have about the squad when it comes to the meta, individual performances, and macro play. The question remains - do the Thieves have enough in the tank to grab the LCS bull by the horns and seize first place? With one of the most important weeks of 100T LCS in front of us, we shall see.

Weird loss against Dignitas, right? Another Friday night misstep from the Thieves ignited a debate about whether 100T is “experimenting” with different picks and strategies or whether we just don’t focus enough on “easier” competition. Cole and Jordan tell the 100Talkers where they stand on these and other important issues, such as:  -Since it’s obvious a 100T player should win MVP, which one will it be? -Why can’t TL touch us this split? -Why was Closer vibing in the baron pit while the rest of the team was losing a teamfight to FLY? Plus, we talk about the 100T x Gucci backpack, why fans shouldn’t complain about the price, and what it means for 100T and gaming brands as a whole.

Despite looking mortal for really the first weekend this split, 100T is able to crush hardstuck 2nd TSM in a convincing win and look on form while doing it. The losses to resurrected Golden Guardians and surging Evil Geniuses? Those left some questions, like was it really just a bad week of practice or are there some cracks in the foundation of the squad?. The dads weigh in on those questions and give their takes on how confident fans should be in 100T as we head into the last round robin of the LCS year. Plus, as always, they field listener takes and questions and officially name the “Potential Bad Takes” segment. And don’t forget a short segment on the meaning of the recently-announced 100T x Gucci collab on the way next week.   Listen here. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FOLLOW THE 100TALK DADS: Twitter ► https://twitter.com/100talkpod Twitch ► https://www.twitch.tv/100talkpod Discord ► https://discord.gg/tUqupX9 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE ...

This weekend was a celebration of greatness - that’s right, another 3-0 weekend for the Thieves. 100T officially became the first team NOT named C9, TL, or TSM to hold sole possession of first place since Optic in 2019 (757 days). With the Thieves now a fully-established LCS favorite, both fans and the League community at large are putting the team under a microscope to magnify every flaw there is. We’ve reached it, y’all: the nitpicking phase. The dads come together to remind everyone that making mountains out of molehills is only natural when it comes to analyzing the favorite. They discuss which flaws may be indicative of a larger problem (spoiler alert: basically none) and make the case for this being a very good and complete team.   As usual, they also tackle a bevvy of listener takes and questions and make predictions for this weekend with Prophet Cole looking to take his undefeated summer split streak into week 6.
