100 Thieves Are YOUR LCS Champions! - LCS Summer 2021 Finals Weekend

100 THIEVES ARE YOUR LCS CHAMPIONS, 100TALKERS!!! A weekend that silenced the doubters. A weekend that brought a championship. A weekend that means EVERYTHING for fans. We’ve been here with you all for four seasons, some better than others. And now we can finally say that 100T has climbed the mountain and rules NA League of Legends. The team fired on all cylinders and systematically dismantled C9 and TL en route to one of the most lopsided finals victories of all time. Jordan and Cole drink in the memories and the feelings, sing the praises of players and staff, and toast to the best podcast community on the planet. They’ll never take this one away from our hoodie org.

Minor Setback for a Major Comeback (100T to Losers' Bracket) - LCS Summer 2021 Playoffs

After a closer-than-expected series with TL (well, by “analysts” at least), Jordan and Cole circle the 100T family around to break down the make or break moments and what we learned from them. From a heart-stopping 12k gold comeback to Ssumday’s continued good form to an FBI search for FBI, there are some real puzzling topics in this week’s pod. The dads go long to predict what will happen during championship weekend and how deep this version of the Thieves can go. And as always, they take time to give fatherly counsel to the fan takes submitted via Twitter. One week left, it’s time for the final push! Listen here.

DRINK IT IN, 100T FANS! WE’RE GOING TO WORLDS! A lot of doubters are having to answer for their predictions, because 100T locked in Worlds qualification and will be headed to China. The dads celebrate and bask in the Worlds glory, then discuss why upon reflection the series was not as close as it seemed. There were undoubtedly some other surprises from this weekend, and Cole and Jordan debate which of those surprises might be more permanent and meaningful than others. Predictions for the TL series follow, and then listener takes as always. Listen here.

Bye Locked In, 100T Preps for Playoffs - 100 Thieves LCS Summer Split Week 9 Recap

A loss to TSM sees 100T falling to 2nd place in the last week of the regular season, but still locks in a bye week for the squad rolling into playoffs. A strong showing against GG would be the final regular season match for the starters, as the academy team played a deceptively competitive game against EG to round out the split. Now, with two weeks to prepare, 100T stands poised to make a run at an LCS title. The dads discuss momentum and form and wonder whether it will be maintained over a longer-than-usual reprieve, and discuss the implications of the playoff picture. Next week’s episode will feature a more detailed look at our first playoff matchup of the split! Listen here.
