You Idiots, You Gave Us Lee Sin - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Playoffs Round 2 Recap

100 Thieves has locked in a second consecutive Worlds appearance, their third in five years. This year came courtesy of Team Liquid doing what they usually do against us in playoffs - dragging out the series even though its outcome is already decided. Along the way, we got some incredibly memorable teamfighting, a very sad and heartfelt postgame interview with Bwipo, and a single-game montage of Closer’s Lee Sin highlights that most pros would be happy with as a representation of their entire career. This weekend was a doozy. The dads are always here for you, and they dedicate a whopping two hours to observations about draft and playstyles, players on premium picks, the astounding performance of Ssumday on Aatrox, why fans are misinterpreting the results of this weekend’s playoff games, and just how badly 100T will beat C9 next week. And as dutiful fathers, Cole and Jordan make time for their kids - listener questions and takes are abundant. It’s another banger episode of 100Talk! List

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.

100T in First Place Yet Again - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 7 Recap

The glorious win streak continues as 100T turns in another 2-0 weekend, defeating an unpredictable Golden Guardians before avenging a first round robin loss to Cloud 9. The Thieves have been so good for so long that even analysts and pundits are starting to begrudgingly admit it. Truly miraculous times for 100T fans to live through. Jordan and Cole are here to be your spiritual guide through the end of regular season and heading into playoffs where the boys will look to secure a second LCS title and make waves at Worlds. Topics of discussion include increased aggression with Riot’s latest patch, recognizing some insane games from the likes of Abbedagge, Huhi, and FBI, and Ssumday’s sudden dark horse candidacy for league MVP. There’s also a good amount of constructing wah wah baby whining about player of the week, regular season awards, and the lack of attention given to the team at a time when they’re smashing. It’s all here in a gift-wrapped episode of 100Talk, sponsored by getthatcre

Cruising to Another 2-0 - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 6 Recap

A 2-0 weekend is a 2-0 weekend, but not all are created equal. Good thing the 100 Thieves fanbase is a gnarled and seasoned group that won’t overreact to any uncharacteristically sloppy games, right? Right. The dads lead the family discussion on what admittedly wasn’t the cleanest set of matches from 100T, taking note of the confidence level of this team and the mental benefits of winning games when you’re not at your best. They play the new game “Should We Play It” with some of the new picks the squad brought out against Dignitas and Immortals, and talk about the ways Ssumday is both underappreciated and duly credited by the LCS community. Plus, as always, there are tons of listener takes and questions to go through of varying spice levels. It’s another fun one with Jordan and Cole. Listen here.
