Familiar Start for the Unfamiliar Thieves - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 1 Recap

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This new 100T roster is starting the split a lot like the old 100T roster - slowly. Cole and Jordan bring the 100Kids together to explain why we're not overwhelmed, we're not underwhelmed, we're just - whelmed. The dads also talk about the perspective discrepancy that exists between evaluating the two team rookies (Tenacity and Busio), and why the narratives are more similar than different (read: Give Tenacity a freaking chance, yall, dang.) A good discussion ensues about Doublelift's new series "I make an entertaining video explaining what I think happened this weekend," and whether 100T's content outsourcing is going to play out positively or negatively. Oh yeah, and listener takes and questions galore! Listen here.

Oh No, Not Again - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 4 Recap

An extremely sad and surprising 0-3 was turned in by 100 Thieves this weekend, and boy does it hit different this time around. In a matter of two weeks the squad went from looking ahead of schedule and a potential title contender, to looking anemic and lost. Jordan and Cole call the 100Kids together to compile a litany of complaints and evaluate which ones have merit and which ones will pass. The dads also break down the possible ways out from this mess and encourage, as ever, patience. Common 100Talk episode ready to be enjoyed by all! Listen here.
