100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast

It can be tiring to always listen to your dads ramble, so Jordan and Cole turn the tables on the viewers and put the microphone in front of them for a special edition of Keep It 100, 100Talk's call-in show. With live takes on everything from 100T's player development chops to whether Reapered or Abbedagge will be a more important acquisition to a special chart explaining the totality of 100T LCS history, this show has just about everything. Plus, the dads grade each take as they come in to decide which of their listeners keeps it 100.   Listen here.

April 19th, 2021 was the best day in 100T League of Legends history so far. We’re predicting it’s only going to get better from here. Abbedagge and Reapered are now Thieves, and Ssumday got his green card. Every fan’s top 3 wishes for the squad have been granted. Jordan and Cole come together in a celebration of years of hope and belief paying off - and we haven’t even played a game with the roster yet. One thing’s for sure - 100 Thieves are NOT messing around. They want to win. And we’re going to be watching it all the way. Time to 100Talk!  Listen here.

100 Thieves are your Stage 2 VALORANT….Challengers...Closed? Qualifier...1? Champions. Or something. It’s really clear that we won something this past weekend. So the good folks at 100T ordered another season of everyone’s favorite VALORANT podcast, Fast Peek Last Week! The dads tackle such pressing issues as “wow, Ethan is really good” and “this team seems really good” and “we have confidence in this really good team.” Jordan gives an ultra-clear breakdown of the VALORANT Champions Tour format that definitely does not cause a short circuit in Cole’s brain. Plus, we address quite the incendiary take from a special viewer. Like Owl City says, it’s always a good time. Note from Jordan: If you are concerned you or a loved one are having a stroke, remember FAST: F acial drooping, A rm weakness, S peech difficulties and T ime to call emergency services TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:19 - Ethan’s progression 0:05:13 - “Low” stakes? 0:08:01 - Sentinels looming 0:10:35 - Overall confidence i...

The result of 100T’s playoff series against TSM was not surprising, but the manner in which it transpired arguably was (unless you are Prophet Cole and you see all). The dads address the deflated 100 Thieves fanbase to talk about why the midlane discussion doesn’t really matter, our coach being between a rock and a hard place when it comes to draft, how narratives affect the scene, and Cole gives a very long rant on the Cult of Damonte. Bonus content includes a breakdown of the just-revealed 100T apparel drop coming up this Saturday.  Time to 100Talk! Listen here. TIMESTAMPS:  0:00:00 - Intro 0:06:45 - Ssumday as NA Jayce 0:18:22 - Marksmen power picks for… ry0ma? 0:32:29 - Ashe: the low threat version of FBI 0:39:43 - Closer sprints back into action 0:42:43 - The power of narratives 0:49:38 - The cult of Damonte 1:04:14 - New apparel!

100 Thieves cleared the bar against Dignitas by a higher margin than we anticipated. A decisive 3-0 featured an appearance from Old Dominant Ssumday, PermaHecarim Closer, Damage Dealer Ryoma, Always Good Bot Lane, and Forgiving Draft Dignitas. We liked it. It feels a little like 100T has their groove back, but how much can we really read into this weekend? The dads spend time talking about what was different this go-around, discuss why the midlaner debate between Damonte and Ryoma should be permanently put to rest, and the challenges of communicating to fans faced by Papasmithy and Co. Plus, they make predictions on how 100T’s next series vs TSM will play out. Stick around for family time!  Listen here. TIMESTAMPS:  0:00:00 - Intro 0:05:50 - Return of the Sumdaddy 0:16:31 - Closer & draft back on point 0:26:40 - ry0ma earns some gold stars 0:31:49 - Reviewing Fakegod and Soligo to DIG 0:36:19 - The org expected a top 4 finish all along 0:46:12 - 100T Midlane: the great red...

Prophet Cole has been on fire lately, and came through again this weekend as C9 held 100T’s hand tightly and escorted them to the loser’s bracket. After the expected 3-0 broom job, not much has changed. Ssumday continues to uncharacteristically slump and the Thieves play standard when they could likely benefit from getting a little funky with it. Hesitantly, the dads are starting to look in the direction of team leadership and ask why we seem to just get worse with time. They also discuss the frightful implications of losing to Dignitas, something that is entirely possible this upcoming weekend. 100 Thieves may be in for some major changes depending on the results of this weekend...  Listen here. TIMESTAMPS:  0:00:00 - Intro 0:04:35 - Ssumday is still slumping 0:17:37 - ry0ma is who we thought he was 0:26:46 - Listener takes on Damonte/ry0ma 0:37:30 - Coaching standard league with a less-skilled team 0:55:14 - Dignitas: can you survive losing to the players you sold? 1:07:18 -...

Spring 2021 will forever be remembered by 100 Thieves fans as the year we talked ourselves out of our reasonable expectations of the team. After a full split of games and a rollercoaster of ups and downs, we’ve landed in 4th place - exactly where most of us projected we’d be. So why all the disappointment? Why the frustration? In (we hate to say it) what is kinda typical fashion, we’ve gotten there with a series of unexpected and maddening trends and an inability to maintain form we show early. Jordan and Cole go through the hot-button Thieves issues like whether Ssumday is slumping, what do we know about Ryoma and Damonte, and is 4th place “good enough for now.” And the dads even give us an important reminder - it’s really not a bad place to be, for now. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro 0:03:59 - Ssumday is slumping. 0:19:22 - What have we learned about Ryoma? 0:33:17 - Incremental improvement vs. sudden ascension 0:41:35 - It all comes back to mid (and coach?) 0:58:26 - Listener...
