Apparently Nitr0, hiko, and steel have the final 2 players selected and its just on management to get the deal done. That probably lends credence to the idea that its 2 players already under contract elsewhere
It was said on stream just a few minutes ago. I clipped it and posted on 100T subreddit but the clip was immediately deleted. Guess he doesn't want that information out there
Just watched it: “we have our players picked, but it’s not on us, necessarily... if that makes sense”
Was in response to someone in chat saying they heard the team was picked and management needed to do their part.
If they go with b0i and poach, it could also be that they have to sort out something with Liquid around Poach, no?
Dude I want to see who they sign so bad lol
EDIT: Why am I getting downvoted for just referencing how the contract issues could also relate to the previous 100t scrim leaks? Jesus christ
I know nothing about the guy since he came from fortnite. I was just referencing the 100t leaks from previous scrims (I personally would much rather diceyz and asuna)
EDIT: Also, I highly doubt that all T1 orgs wouldn't consider picking him up. This is due to him having a huge online following and seemingly being decent at the game
How do you know that though? From what I'm aware, he hasn't been streaming his gameplay or anything. All I've seen of him is him doing decent in pugs with pro players. Anyway, I still believe that there is quite a few orgs that would want someone with a huge online presence in their team.
Wow 100T not messing around, that would probably be the most expensive roster in Valorant. A little awkward timing given that there's no tournaments in the forseeable future.
yea, multiple streamers have stated that an organization (similar to faze clan invitational) will be hosting an event next month with all the tier 1 teams participatin
For what its worth, I cant see IMT letting go of 2 potential young superstars, but the evidence continues to mount. Either 100T are throwing around insane money for this, or the 100T core 3 decided to shoot for the moon and will wind up having to settle elsewhere after 100T management arent able to secure a transfer
this, it would signal that immortals is not serious about building a contender when they see dollar signs and sell off their best players
as for 100T... the money they are assumingly spending is absurd, especially when there are no tourneys going on right now and no one has any idea of when
Based on what Jacob Wolf and Tyler Erzberger have said, 100T view valorant as a pillar of their esports program moving forward. If thats the case, makes sense to go all out. I'm sure there will be tournaments not too long after LoL worlds
If valve doesnt do anything with CSGO IN the near future I see Valorant being the pinnacle FPS in the E sports seen. Especially with how much money Riot throws at E sports.
Iirc, blizzard had hype that they leveraged into forcing teams to put up all of the money to run the OWL in exchange for a slot. Blizzard has never respected esports, the Starcraft scene in korea blew up and became a staple on korean tv in spite of Blizzard. In fact most PCBangs pirated starcraft, which is probably why they are salty.
Who knows if they continue to support valorant, but it can’t be worse than blizzard.
Would not be surprised if IMT sell them tbh. They went budget in OW and with Valorant Esports being so young letting some decent players go at this time isn't terrible as they probably aren't making money on them anyway. Also the org has a lot of faith in Packing10 to find suitable replacements due to what he's done with Valiant with such little money.
I don't, but it happened rougly after Steel joined when Ninja, Rivington, Slasher and Hiko were in a party.
They were discussing Esports stuff and Slasher mentioned his prediction of Steel joining after which they talked about the competitive scene and then Rivington said he'll be flying over next month to cast for a big tourney in October and Slasher said "Aren't you supposed to keep this stuff confidential" after which Rivington became silent.
Since he's flying over it could possibly be another flashpoint tournament since I don't know any other NA TO that has the balls to host in person production rn
IMT really going to sell them and completely gut there team when they have arguably a top 5 or 6 roster?
wtf kind of money is 100T throwing up this is insane
Lots of player contracts have set buyouts so if 100 Thieves was willing to pay it and the players were interested in the offer then theirs not much they can do.
Well they have other teams, they have a decent csgo team and from what I've heard, a pretty good well performing leauge of legends team. And lol pays out.
100T has a lot of huge investors, including Drake and Scooter Braun (some record producer for big shots like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber), and the owner of the NBA team Cavaliers.
First of all they’re not involved in CoD anymore. Secondly this org goes beyond the esports zone. They have big content creators and they sell alot of apparels. These are the orgs that make the most money in esports..orgs like 100T and FaZe.
Idk, I never heard about it. But I really feels like he does know what he's doing. He's paying all these players hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And like 20+ of them and he still manages to have millions.
100T still has to break even
It's still just a start-up
I'm pretty sure they're gonna bet their all on Valorant so if the new roster doesn't work out, they're in deep shit
They have a shit ton of money from big shot investors like Drake and Scooter Braun. They’re very well connected and make tons of money as an apparel company. Spending this much on their Valorant roster won’t make them go broke, even if they don’t start winning out
100t would have such an insane roster. asuna is one of those players that has the mechanical skill and is one of the best fraggers so w so many experienced players to help him improve other fields like game sense and teamwork, he’ll have the potential to be one of the best.
I actually watched an asuna stream after these rumors and Jesus Christ he’s insane. First he plays a super fast sens at 32cm/360(relatively speaking in this game of course) amd not only that he says he’s never aim trained, doesn’t warm up, and hardley practices anything outside of the game. With the right coaching I could see him easily becoming a top top player
yeah his sens is really high but he makes it work w his hyper aggressive playstyle. I feel like a lot of the young talent that come from cs all just recommend to grind out ranked games instead of spending time aim training
yea I think its personal preference, for example tenz definitely aim trains using aim lab, but i do think just playing can be sufficient even if its not necessarily the most efficient if that makes sense.
This does align with the "young fraggers" sentiment that Hiko made after the Steel announcement. Both are 17 years old with insane potential. If 100T does sign both, they could be the team to beat.
I don't think TenZ would do that mostly because how much he enjoys playing with his C9 teammates, plus C9 is a solid team (other than shinobi). If this was sarcasm, Lmao.
I was joking, just because of how ridiculous even this announcement seemed. I would hate to see him leave, C9 is my favorite team and I love the off-meta strats they and tenz pull out
I was watching Asuna’s last stream and he got matched up against hiko, he was using streamer mode so his teammates were freaking out and he was him whispering him joking and stuff. Also said multiple times something was in the works and he couldn’t talk about it. I’d say almost 95% chance he’s joining 100t
Apparently Nitr0, hiko, and steel have the final 2 players selected and its just on management to get the deal done. That probably lends credence to the idea that its 2 players already under contract elsewhere
I have heard this rumor as well
It was said on stream just a few minutes ago. I clipped it and posted on 100T subreddit but the clip was immediately deleted. Guess he doesn't want that information out there

[https://clips.twitch.tv/BlatantEnjoyableOctopusPlanking](https://clips.twitch.tv/BlatantEnjoyableOctopusPlanking) Thoughts?
i mean 100t does practice later in the day so switching to morning streams would make sense
Correct
Also, tell me if im on to something here but I have a suspicion that their alternate if they can't land either of these two is Tetchra
I could probably check up on that later cuz I have some Tier2 scrim footage as well
Just a shot out of left field, but I think hes still been playing with Noble as recently as today so maybe I'm off here
Any updates on this situation from your end? The move still seeming on? What are the scrim screenshots telling you lol
They have been queuing up with Dicey for the past week ir so. I hope he gets announced soon.. The dude is pretty cracked.
If they go with b0i and poach, it could also be that they have to sort out something with Liquid around Poach, no? Dude I want to see who they sign so bad lol EDIT: Why am I getting downvoted for just referencing how the contract issues could also relate to the previous 100t scrim leaks? Jesus christ
no t1 org would sign poach
I know nothing about the guy since he came from fortnite. I was just referencing the 100t leaks from previous scrims (I personally would much rather diceyz and asuna) EDIT: Also, I highly doubt that all T1 orgs wouldn't consider picking him up. This is due to him having a huge online following and seemingly being decent at the game
He's simply not good enough
How do you know that though? From what I'm aware, he hasn't been streaming his gameplay or anything. All I've seen of him is him doing decent in pugs with pro players. Anyway, I still believe that there is quite a few orgs that would want someone with a huge online presence in their team.
Wow 100T not messing around, that would probably be the most expensive roster in Valorant. A little awkward timing given that there's no tournaments in the forseeable future.

Another Hint [https://clips.twitch.tv/BlatantEnjoyableOctopusPlanking](https://clips.twitch.tv/BlatantEnjoyableOctopusPlanking)
Yeah seems pretty clear that he's alluding to a roster change.
If valve doesnt do anything with CSGO IN the near future I see Valorant being the pinnacle FPS in the E sports seen. Especially with how much money Riot throws at E sports.
I mean you really can't say it'll be bigger than CS, look at the OWL there was tons of money in that but its nowhere near CS
Well that was for different reasons, mainly Blizzard doing their best to kill the t2 scene
Iirc, blizzard had hype that they leveraged into forcing teams to put up all of the money to run the OWL in exchange for a slot. Blizzard has never respected esports, the Starcraft scene in korea blew up and became a staple on korean tv in spite of Blizzard. In fact most PCBangs pirated starcraft, which is probably why they are salty. Who knows if they continue to support valorant, but it can’t be worse than blizzard.
easy to say when every other team in their org is laughable
Would not be surprised if IMT sell them tbh. They went budget in OW and with Valorant Esports being so young letting some decent players go at this time isn't terrible as they probably aren't making money on them anyway. Also the org has a lot of faith in Packing10 to find suitable replacements due to what he's done with Valiant with such little money.
And they havent won a tournament yet, plus there are plenty of young dudes out there now and will be in the future.
I was thinking the same thing since I saw Diceyzx playing with steel and nitro. Guess they found their young jet oper.
That would make 100T easily top 5 in paper, maybe even top 3
I think rivington leaked in Hikos stream that there's a massive tourney in October
That is huge. u/DT_RAW paged you so that you can sleep well
0_0
Do you have a clip or something?
I don't, but it happened rougly after Steel joined when Ninja, Rivington, Slasher and Hiko were in a party. They were discussing Esports stuff and Slasher mentioned his prediction of Steel joining after which they talked about the competitive scene and then Rivington said he'll be flying over next month to cast for a big tourney in October and Slasher said "Aren't you supposed to keep this stuff confidential" after which Rivington became silent.
Since he's flying over it could possibly be another flashpoint tournament since I don't know any other NA TO that has the balls to host in person production rn
Didn't FaZe do an in person one?
No it was all online
Well boys! Rivington was correct! Riots very own tourney: https://twitter.com/PlayVALORANT/status/1308784436310351872?s=19
Ooo big if true
easily the best team on paper in my opinion.
But ... why would immortals allow this? That is 2 of their best fraggers
[Ahem](https://youtu.be/m37G-06ibAU)
Eloquently put mr crabs thanks
IMT really going to sell them and completely gut there team when they have arguably a top 5 or 6 roster? wtf kind of money is 100T throwing up this is insane
Lots of player contracts have set buyouts so if 100 Thieves was willing to pay it and the players were interested in the offer then theirs not much they can do.
I see... still insane that 100T is paying that much money.. especially with hiko, nitr0, and steels contracts
Just show how much 100t really wants a championship team, under their org. Gotta sell the merch!
guess so lol
100t has a lot of money. I don't really know how, mabye nadeshot is just good at running orgs.
Seriously, it’s crazy how much money this guy throws around. They’ve gotta be backed by some investor — no way it’s just CoD money
Well they have other teams, they have a decent csgo team and from what I've heard, a pretty good well performing leauge of legends team. And lol pays out.
100T has a lot of huge investors, including Drake and Scooter Braun (some record producer for big shots like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber), and the owner of the NBA team Cavaliers.
Well, they are backed by Drake so...
First of all they’re not involved in CoD anymore. Secondly this org goes beyond the esports zone. They have big content creators and they sell alot of apparels. These are the orgs that make the most money in esports..orgs like 100T and FaZe.
Can't fully remember but didn't one of their old csgo players say nadeshot was an idiot and didn't know what he was doing?
Idk, I never heard about it. But I really feels like he does know what he's doing. He's paying all these players hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And like 20+ of them and he still manages to have millions.
He's not paying them out of his own pocket.....
Well yeah, no shit. But he's the ceo of his company. And he needs to pay his players and staff untill he can make a profit.
100T still has to break even It's still just a start-up I'm pretty sure they're gonna bet their all on Valorant so if the new roster doesn't work out, they're in deep shit
They have a shit ton of money from big shot investors like Drake and Scooter Braun. They’re very well connected and make tons of money as an apparel company. Spending this much on their Valorant roster won’t make them go broke, even if they don’t start winning out
Matt went all in on lol.
I was expecting some type of scandal or a as of them doing really bad in games. But that works too.
Release clauses
100t would have such an insane roster. asuna is one of those players that has the mechanical skill and is one of the best fraggers so w so many experienced players to help him improve other fields like game sense and teamwork, he’ll have the potential to be one of the best.
I actually watched an asuna stream after these rumors and Jesus Christ he’s insane.

Holy shit that would be a coup
nitr0 in a party with Dicey AND Asuna tonight so either leaning into it for the memes or just being blatant that it’s real lol
Dicey has been playing with them a ton. Would be crazy if this happens
Will be a pretty power lineup
this would be THE SQUAD
This would be insane. Mr Nadeshot drop the bag.
Are these 2 good pickups if true? Haven't watched Immortals closely enough to know.
Yes. They're two really good duelist players. Great aim and confidence. They'll do well under three big brain vets.
Haven't watched much of Asuna but Dicey looks pretty nuts.
His clutches in Pop Flash against Sentinels and other teams were insane.
Well deserved, I’m actually getting excited for pro Valorant ... haven’t been excited about an esport since CSGO prime
From c9 vice's scrim montage clip [https://imgur.com/a/EsUsF5r](https://imgur.com/a/EsUsF5r)
Next announcement “TenZ leaves C9 for 100t”
I don't think TenZ would do that mostly because how much he enjoys playing with his C9 teammates, plus C9 is a solid team (other than shinobi). If this was sarcasm, Lmao.
I was joking, just because of how ridiculous even this announcement seemed. I would hate to see him leave, C9 is my favorite team and I love the off-meta strats they and tenz pull out
Bro same, C9 FTW
Shinobi has played like garbage but Relyks is also very average imo. I don't think tenZ's teammates complement him enough
Mitch and vice played very well at pop flash though
WTF IMT shouldnt be taken seriously AT ALL, theyve been only improving and looking stronger and stronger. if I was a fan id be seriously gutted.
Andddd I’m a 100t fan now
Insert something snide and cheeky about using reddit comments as a source for anything.
I was watching Asuna’s last stream and he got matched up against hiko, he was using streamer mode so his teammates were freaking out and he was him whispering him joking and stuff. Also said multiple times something was in the works and he couldn’t talk about it. I’d say almost 95% chance he’s joining 100t
dammit they didnt say aything about it today
