100T Rebounds for Playoffs - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 7 Recap

With Kaas out and Nukeduck in, somehow, the honeymoon has officially begun. A change has done the Thieves good, with the squad turning in a dominant 2-0 weekend including a substantial win against the surging Golden Guardians. The rookies are stepping up, Bjergsen is playing aggressive, Doublelift is a killer Xayah, and Closer is back on his big champs. The wins come in the nick of time, with playoffs suddenly looking much more likely for our beloved boys.

Jordan and Cole analyze which specific signs of life the Thieves were showing during the weekend and debate how much of the Nukeduck turnaround is simply a temporary shake up and how much is genuine balm of Gilead. They also whip out the handy dandy foldy sheet to go over scenarios for super week, finding that 2-1 with a win over TSM has us in excellent shape…

Plus, listener takes and questions as usual. Strap in for another #100Talk!

Also, a note: 100Talk will conclude after the spring split. Please see this Twitlonger for more: https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss8o23

Reverse Sweep Energy - LCS Lock-In Semifinals - 100T Falls to C9

Looks like 100 Thieves is a pretty good League of Legends team. That doesn’t stop the dads from having a ton to say. Jordan and Cole jump into discussions about Damonte coming back to earth, unexpected questionable drafting decisions, and whether or not choker DNA needs to be exorcised from this team. We’re not gonna lie to you - it’s a kinda picky discussion, but fortunately 100T is good enough for that to be the case! Oh, and stay tuned as 100Talk history is made with never-before-seen game predictions….  Listen here.

100T’s Strategy Struggles - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 5 Recap

A win is a win, and a one and one is a one and one. But things still don’t feel all the way right at the 100 Thieves [redacted] Compound. The dads discuss how beating Team Liquid doesn’t mean quite as much as it used to, and while we were more competitive against FlyQuest, we ultimately made too many mistakes (one) and so we weren’t able to win against the dominant team. Cole and Jordan spend a lot of time breaking down the stats and eyeball test for rookies Tenacity and Busio and check them against their preseason expectations, while others suggest the blame for the team’s lackluster performance may rest with the veterans. Are we officially on the Department of Transportation’s Bad Teamfighting Team Watchlist? Azael says yes. The dads say…LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

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.
