100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast

100 Thieves came through big time this weekend, shutting the door on TSM's playoff hopes and delivering a customary thorough defeat of a sizzling hot C9 squad (as has been done in past splits). 100Talk had its most visible moment in LCS with our poll about Ssumday vs Closer as our MVP representative hitting the broadcast twice. The timing was perfect, as it appears to have shifted the narrative since HOW CAN ANYONE CHOOSE THE TOPLANER THAT WENT 0/8 AGAINST THE OTHER??? However, plans were ultimately foiled by yet another loss to Final Boss Dignitas. As usual, Jordan and Cole debate whether weird losses matter. They also revel in the reform the staff has worked with the players to get this 100T squad humming at the perfect time in the season and make predictions for how the upcoming playoff weekend will go for the team. As we've said in podcasts of yore: it's a good time to be rooting for the Thieves. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:04:26 - 100T vs TSM 0:25:38 - 1

Highly entertaining League of Legends was played this weekend by 100T. Running wild on the rift are Ssumday, Abbedagge, and objective bounties. A thorough defeat of Immortals was followed by yet another chapter in the vaunted series “Make Sure You Stick a Stake In EG’s Heart Or Else They Might Not Be Dead.” Your dads underscore what worked this weekend as 100 Thieves seems to be righting the LCS ship, plus debate the merits of Ssumday’s MVP candidacy (while Closer is seemingly occupying that discussion on other podcasts). Listener takes and predictions follow, as always. Listen here.

Having been the beneficiary of the Golden Guardians Gives 503(c)(3) public charity, 100 Thieves now enjoys sole possession of 3rd place in the LCS standings after what is recorded by the impartial historians as a 2-0 weekend. Happily for 100T fans, playoffs is looking good - and there may even be an explanation for the team’s slow spring start. Mithy revealed in an interview that the org granted its players a more relaxed schedule as they recharged after a long grind for 2021 postseason. The dads debate whether this truly explains our performance and whether it’s ultimately a good decision in the long view of winning another LCS title. They also tackle listener takes, rejoice in the bans of the weekend, and put the 6-man roster legend to bed for good. Listen here.

For the first time in forever - a weekend of 100T performing in line with expectations. That’s something we can build on, right??? The 100Talk dads are back to cover what was a pretty decent loss against Team Liquid and an enthusiastic win against CLG. Despite the notable improvements, some questions linger: Do we need more champions in our pools? Are we seeing more of the old 100T problems crop up again? Can Ssumday carry all the time? Where on earth is our bot lane’s potency? Jordan and Cole also review the recent update from PapaSmithy on reddit on Tenacity & The Long-Rumored 6-Man Roster and lay out what it does and does not tell us. Plus, as always - listener takes and predictions for week 6. We ALWAYS predict week 6, it’s great. Let’s do some 100Talkin’. Listen here.

The Spring of Perplexity abides. In perhaps the most exasperating weekend for 100T fans, the Thieves secured a (relatively) meaningless win against a floundering TSM, a backbreaking loss of could-have-been for C9, and a complete mental lapse against Dignitas. After a round robin that defied all expectations - and not in a good way, fans are left with more questions than answers. The dads try to reasonably assess the issues: Ssumday 1v9, stale drafting, the shocking disintegration of our bot lane, and a Corki flying on autopilot by the name of Abbedagge. They also address calls for roster changes, the importance of the next couple of weekends, and even a hypothesis of behind-the-scenes issues. It’s a packed 100Talk ready for you kids - come and eat it up! Listen here.
