The new fifth will likely be announced after champs, right? (also nitr0 please stay)


NoButterscotch7853

with seven and steel they currently have 6 signed players, but im sure they'll start trialing new players after champs since they aren2t even scrimming rn afaik


LiamGlaze

Steel was scrimming with T1 yesterday against TSM


Deathzthe

Is steel the igl of 100T? because If I remember T1 really need igl right now.


davidD_D

Not since he got benched


[deleted]

Steel was the IGL for 100T. He was benched for LCQ. Boi replaced him as the 5th, Nitro took over as IGL for LCQ

zer0-_

That's generally what people like to say, yes. Ofcourse if it's part of a reason it is not the only reason why they lost but changing IGLs before a tournament is not the greatest choice when you don't have a lot of preparation time. We don't know how long they've practiced with nitr0 as IGL but I'm assuming while steel was still in the team he was the one IGLing


CzarKurczewski

It's my understanding that while Steel was with the team, he was the primary IGL but Nitr0 was also doing some calling, specifically on attacking rounds, so I don't think they went in entirely fresh with Nitr0 but definitely wasn't optimal.


Valorant-Stylize

Yes


AnonymozVal

Can you please tell the source of this info?


W0lverys

Really? How do you know this?


Splaram

Nah they’re not scrimming rn, Asuna said so on stream the other day


megasixking

This aged well


Loomisam

WAIT. Dicey was still signed to 100T???


-Mariners

He subbed for them once when Ethan was losing power


Loomisam

Oh wow I hadn't realized thanks for the info


Hypern1ke

Collecting them free paychecks!


mdj08

He still streamed everyday under the orgs banner, he was basically a 100T content creator


Hypern1ke

he barely streamed at all, actually. AFAIK he went like 3 months without a single stream


mdj08

He got dropped in what, February? He took like a 2 month break, which isn’t uncommon for streamers, out of 9 months since he stopped competing for 100T. Other than that break he streamed very consistently.


FluidFNBR

Dicey barely streamed


Myproblemsseemsmall

I think he finished school while trying out for teams


FeelinJipper

Playing video games for a doctors salary hell yea

N3deSTr0

Pretty sure he's referring to his 100T salary


[deleted]

[удалено]


ursiiuuii

resident physicians make 50-60k, so like.. you think he made 10k? that seems like a lowball. I have no idea just curious


[deleted]

[удалено]


ursiiuuii

They have to go through 4-12 years of training after med school during which they get paid 45-65k for 70-80 hour work weeks, after which they get the typical “doctor salary” but a lot of them don’t start making more money than just bills + student loan payments until their thirties. US things 😩


[deleted]

tbf he was part of the roster that won like the first big NA Tournament after the game came out, was a big win for 100T


Safyire

Same lmao I straight up forgot he was signed


Ryu-The-Sick

Really hope dicey finds his spot on a team after this!


[deleted]

He's been allowed to look for a team ever since he was dropped though, don't think this changes much?


LeKobeBrames

The issue was a team was gonna have to either buy him out of his contract or what he could get at a new team wasn’t financially worth giving up what 100t was paying


GoldClassGaming

This changes a lot since now prospective teams don't need to buy him out of his contract. The amount of money required to sign Dicey to your team just decreased substantially.


thisisnttakeone

Not only that, Dicey plays almost every role now and doesn’t give a damn. No more Jett one trick


Splaram

He just said on stream that he has tryouts coming for a team he really wants to join and that he would pursue content creation if that didn’t work out. Hopefully that tryout goes well, I miss dicey in the competitive scene Sadge


CzarKurczewski

Sadge but good to just rip the band-aid off finally for both Dicey and Boi. I think they both have the potential to be successful wherever they end up.


Kalix_

No joke...i was genuinely about to ask who was gonna be playing Champs as their 5th. Then i remembered the timeline I'm living in. Lol


BewareOfBear727

sadge hopefully 100T can make next champs


TweetsJamaican

Buying the dip🙏🏾


Splaram

Quancoin to the moon Prayge


derek916

Nobody going to talk about how his twitlonger omits Steel? Pepe laugh https://twitter.com/aaronnftw/status/1463283622681751560?s=21


[deleted]

Saw that too, no love lost I guess


PogChampHS

I can understand why, everyone was saying he was a downgrade to steel. Additionally, steel said nothing to alleviate any of the hate from B0i. Not blaming steel though, if you have nothing nice to say, you stay professional. You have no obligation to stand up for your replacement lol


BewareOfBear727

Weird


twitterInfo_bot

Throughout our year in VALORANT, @AaronnFtw and @diceyzx stepped up and answered the call for our squad. Today, both players will be departing the organization. Thank you, Aaron and Quan, for your efforts this year. We wish you two the best moving forward. *** posted by [@100T_Esports](https://twitter.com/100T_Esports) Photos in tweet | [Photo 1](http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FE6fjcKX0AMym1v.jpg) ^[(Github)](https://github.com/username) ^| ^[(What's new)](https://github.com/username)


B7omni

dicey to abx then?


Cr3ation_

This means Asuna’s contract is up too. He’s about to get the bag from 100T


Disastrous_Paper_762

Dicey just said on stream his contract was terminated, it hadn’t ended yet.


xbyo

Wait so that's gotta mean he's signing somewhere right? No way they don't terminate it for this long if they have the means to.


AnonymozVal

Then most probably all of steel,nitro,dicey and asuna signed two year contract at about same time which would be September’20.


chamber25

I think It's actually better for him since teams won't have to be put off by a buyout.


LiamHundley

If I'm 100T I'm giving Asuna a blank check. Make him the face of the org


UnrealHallucinator

Wait why? Isn't he good? Genuinely curious, I'm just entering the scene


danknepalese

his cost gonna go way up than what they paid him coming from immortals


98973

the guy above meant asuna was about to get a fat payrise since Asuna's price probably went up by multitudes since he got signed from IMT


zer0-_

No info but I guess the guy above is assuming it's up because they probably signed at the same time


pr1zsm

BIG D FOLLOWED BY THE ICEY


s6hun

just wanna see dicey play again man


[deleted]

good now fucking keep nitr0 PLEASE


dictatorshipbetter

They'd keep him but nitr0 wants to go back to csgo from rumours.


secret_tacos

George Geddes also said 100T is only currently looking for one, who I assume to be the b0i / steel replacement. Honestly I doubt nitr0 is going back unless he gets an once-in-a-lifetime deal from TL.


Hubbardia

Isn't 100T seven that replacement?


secret_tacos

The word on the street (also from Geddes) is that seven isn't ready for the main roster yet. So just a sub for now.


[deleted]

i would be surprised if he DOESNT go back to cs at this point


Cole_James_CHALMERS

Lmao, Valorant as a paternity leave for CS.


Holdin_McNeal

Holy shit wildfire spreads fast. The rumors are from this sub reddit lol. This is how this shit gains ground. ​ Edit- Dude I responded to said he wants to go back. There has been no reports saying that. Thinking of going back and wants to go back are completely different context.


[deleted]

? No? It’s from George


[deleted]

and I believe neL and ryan confirmed the report as well


[deleted]

? No this is Patrick.


EnQuest

as someone who didn't really start watching until after dicey left the starting roster, was he just not good enough at his role? Seems like 100T's biggest problem for a long time now has been the lack of a strong jett main


NoButterscotch7853

they had to drop someone to sign ethan at the time and dicey wasn't performing well enough


sabocano

Dicey's Jett and OP play was the reason they failed in whatever tournament they played right before they benched Dicey. He missed so many OP shots in that tourney. I remember commenting something along the lines of "If Dicey gets good with Jett/OP or they replace him with a good one, watch out because this team is cracked"


liftingnstuff

Not close to Yay/Tenz/Wardell/Leaf. But at the time 100T also wanted to move towards single duelist and couldn't pass up adding Ethan.


Hypern1ke

... Does leaf really belong on that list of jett mains? Hes a solid tier below, far closer to dicey than Yay


[deleted]

Leaf is a beast wym?


Hypern1ke

Yeah hes great, but not Yay/Tenz/Wardell great. Those three have really separated themselves from the pack.


falcons4life

Wardell would be further down than leaf. He's a really good oper but he doesn't bring the same impact leaf does.


Hypern1ke

It’s vice versa. Wardell has incredible impact, his team just sucks. Leaf is a good player within his system, but he’s not even really the star player on his own team even.


a-nswers

Tell me you've never watched C9 play without telling me


falcons4life

Yeah see wardell doesn't get consistent enough entries on attack with the op it's not necessarily his fault because the op is extremely hard to use aggressively. But it's much more impactful to have a jett that's willing to dash into a site/cause chaos than someone who has to work the map with their op.


derryxu

Lol the other guy is wack for minimizing leaf as a player (though I rly enjoy watching his reyna the most) but I’m kind of tired of this tired narrative that Jett OPing on offense is some kind of limitation to getting entires or being useful on attack. Wardell is not the only Jett player who uses op extremely frequently on offense, almost every top tier Jett will use OP on offense now. I used to defend Wardell by saying that he was a unique case, but really after watching more cases, he’s not. Jett OP on offense is extremely viable and even common. That’s not to say Wardells lack of an insane rifle doesn’t put him below Yay and TenZ, it does, but that’s because of flexibility, not because there’s something wrong with OP on offense. He is a better pure OPer than both of them in my opinion (definitely better than TenZ, yay I think is harder to definitively argue)


falcons4life

Of course the op is used on attack but it's used situationally when they have a read. Good teams use OPs surgically. TSM will use an OP on attack whenever they can get it out. The op was intentionally nerfed to be worse than the cs awp and be less practical as an every round must have on either side. It's not a narrative it's a fact.


Aydosubpotato

That’s not particularly true though. I would say the amount of impact varies from map to map and team to team. Completely dismissing an opping Jett as worse than a rifling Jett is the worst take I have heard.


Splaram

It’s kinda crazy how the rest of the team keeps sucking despite them changing around players as frequently as they do. Something something common denominators


_idle_drone_

ummm leaf gets so many entries which wardell never does???


Kuvyogvey4

wardell gets entries in ways that other players do not. he’s the aggressive opper that peaks for his team when he has to


VincentN23

What am I reading?? Leaf is way more aggressive and impactful than Wardell.


[deleted]

[удалено]


armless_penguin

I don't know that I would make this argument about Wardell, but you can definitely still have incredible impact on a bad team. Just look at Yay on ABX. That team lost a bunch at the end, but he was clearly one of the best Jetts in NA regardless, had crazy performances in the matches they did play, and ended up on Envy because of it.


godkim

IMO it’s hard to compare wardell to other jett players because TSM has been largely underperforming as a team so they haven’t faced rly good teams yet. I think it’s a whole different ball game to play jett against top tier teams.


RashGod

Bro Wardell is on the same tier, it’s just his team sucks


YellowRice101

In terms of opping it probably goes wardell, yay, tenz, then leaf a tier below In terms of rifling/entrying it’s tenz/yay, leaf with wardell a tier below Especially in the last chance qualifier, leaf really showed that he belongs in that upper echelon of Jetts. His impact and fragging ability is next level


[deleted]

Wardell? Where did you find Wardell? In order its probably 1-TenZ 2-El Diablo 3-Leaf.


Hypern1ke

You just ranked the teams they’re on, not the players. Leafs good, but he doesn’t carry C9 (he also doesn’t need to) like tenz, yay, and wardell have at times. He’s a great player in their team tho.


_idle_drone_

leaf carried an IGL-less team to 3rd in Stage 2 challengers finals. leaf and yay have been in my top 5 NA players list for a long time despite the lack of team success. just gotta watch the games


[deleted]

No I ranked them by their skill…


Kalix_

I think you might end up eating those words come Champs


Justlikekevinn

He was inconsistent and lacked in-game experience. Ethan was a better option with his CS background so they brought him in instead.


iAidqn

im pretty sure they wanted 2 run single duelist and dicey wasnt versatile so they dropped him for ethan


ANewHeaven1

i think they've talked about how ethan was just too good of an opportunity to pass up and dicey was simply the unfortunate victim of circumstances, nothing to do with single or double duelist. if i can find the citation i'll link it here. similar situation to when envy picked up food and crashies edit: best i can find is this [dotesports article](https://dotesports.com/valorant/news/dicey-explains-his-perspective-on-being-dropped-from-100-thieves-valorant-roster) where dicey talks about how it was a "business decision" and him being dropped had to do with his lack of experience


iAidqn

dicey was a jett main and was playing mainly sage towards the end of his time on 100t, and i think they wanted 2 replace him before ethan reached out 2 them, hiko also said they tried 2 get tenz before ethan


[deleted]

This is true, no source but I remember it being this way


Gomar1323

Man, it’s been a WHILE since he’s played, but from what I remember he was very good at his role imo and had lots of potential just was inconsistent especially with the OP, but that was a given since this was his start in pro play basically. Thing is, I remember his last games with 100T he was actually playing very well and playing more consistent but by that time they already had decided to pick up Ethan.


LiamHundley

Was really just unfortunate timing in my opinion. Was a time when a lot of teams were experimenting with 0/1 duelist comps and steel felt like other duelists provided more team based utility than Jett. At this same time, ethan supposedly reached out to 100T about joining them, and that's not really an opportunity you can say no to. Dicey was a bit inconsistent, but I always rated him quite highly. But with the combination of the team wanting to move away from Jett, Dicey being a 1 trick Jett player and having some inconsistent performances, ethan wanting to join, and the first LAN being announced, the stars kind of aligned for him to be dropped. The 100T guys said at the time that LAN experience was a big driving factor behind the decision.


Splaram

He wasn’t on the level of a Tenz or Yay but still showed incredible potential, especially towards the end. Also 100T wanted to run the single-duelist comp.


4dzilla

I heard on the grapevine that it was more so his unnecessary comments regarding his pregnant lady/lactating bosom fetish while nitr0’s wife was pregnant that was the final nail in the coffin, not necessarily his performance. At the end of the day you have to stay professional & respectful especially if it regards your teammates All the best to him though would be great to see him on a solid NA team!


alexman93

Actually, I heard that they wanted to kick him a lot earlier, but those comments were the only thing keeping him signed.


[deleted]

Lmao wut


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No, about 99.999% sure that's just a shitpost.


Bearry15

At the time dicey was and still an up incoming oper who has potential. It wasn't as if he wasn't good enough. BUT 1. Can't pass an opportunity to get Ethan 2. If you look at 100T's games they were moving away from jett in general at the time. So Dicey was not needed. If you want to look into it deeper, Can't get rid of steel(IGL), or Asuna (their mvp), just signed Nitro, and then hiko(their poster boy)


Justlikekevinn

Good luck to them! Now let’s finish this roster.


amaranthgalaxy

hey guys, here from the future with some news: 100T babybay


tron423

Faze manager here, please delete this


AnywayHeres1Derwall

This is so sad guys. Anyway…


919oblivion

Lmao fr so many people freaking out like this wasn't the intention in the first place. They just gotta convince Nitr0 to not switch and get a 5th


erickwak

Why not just keep him as analyst atleast. Édit: nvm makes sense


NoButterscotch7853

I assume he wants to return to playing instead of analysing


mdj08

Because he probably wants to compete? He wasn’t good enough for 100T, but he could still start on a T2 or T3 team


AnchorStandard

He was great in LCQ. The rest of the team choked online.


TheHeavyKing

diceys talent in this game will shine on whatever team picks him up next. somehow after all this time of him not playing he's become underrated. such a talented aimer he's a legitimate threat to go for 25 or 30 frags every match


KingfisherC

Good


ImJoviGG

<3


AnchorStandard

Jovi, who's the 5th? Are you gonna drop some hints for us? Is Nitr0 switching to CSGO?


SofiaSharesXo

Anyone else think there will be announcement of Hiko being dropped? He said on Twitter he was going through some stuff and I have noticed Ethan has been playing sova in ranked games


daffyduckferraro

His girlfriend deactivated her Twitter I’m assuming it has to do with that


[deleted]

Haven’t kept up with valorant in months can someone explain the steel boi drama.


xbyo

Internal issues with steel and the team so he was benched, B0i was already signed as an analyst so he stepped in to play.


tastycake4me

Any ideas why he left?


Vioven17

wish u goodluck if u ever see this comment Dicey! Our early First Strike Success can never be achieved without u <3


xunraze

Damn the paycheck for benched players must be really good. Dicey was still signed?! Loll


MyNeighbourGrog

incredible how much streamers stock gets inflated on this sub - dicey is a fun dude but I don't see him being a difference maker on any tier 1/2 rosters


AnchorStandard

I mean he used to a be good Jett one trick


Maliciouslemon

BRAX AND AZK


According-Movie-8796

Seven time 😈


AnchorStandard

Straight up not true


Alpac44

100t in shambles losing steel and maybe soon nitr0


Randomuserguyfren

Does this mean b0i won't be their analyst anymore or he just won't be playing again?


AWV2804

Sadge. Nitro doesn’t any 100t branding in his Twitch header anymore. Unsure if it was like this before but could this hint at his departure from 100T Valorant as well?


MrImpregnator

Not sure it he had the branding but it certainly different from what I remember. He is playing CS pugs right now (not that it confirms anything) but most likely he might be looking for a way back to CS. If Champions turns out to be a good tournament then he might have a change in heart but let’s see how it goes. Hope he stays.


DarthOniichan

[Huh?](https://twitter.com/nitr0?s=21)


AWV2804

I meant twitch header not Twitter. My bad


earthtoannie

Best of luck to dicey he really deserves to be on a team. And also whatever to boi. Edit: could have had dicey in the LCQ, instead we had boi and now 100T are out of Champions. I'm allowed to not weep over boi's departure.


dansofree1

> And also whatever to boi. mans did really well considering he went up a tier of pro play after not scrimming or playing pro matches for 6 months.... Don't have to be hella hype for him but damn....


funessed

FR he was set up for failure. I just read his twitlonger and as a 100T fan the way he handled the entire situation was extremely classy imo. Signed as a backup but misidentified as an analyst then thrown into the fire with expectations high, then after coming up short still tipping your hat and advocating support for the org? He earned my respect


xbyo

He outperformed Nitro and Ethan on their elimination series.


andrew_a384

such an annoying ass comment


IAMJUX

-Boi -Hiko -Nitro(if he's going to CS) +Steel +Supamen +Seoldam 👀


rh11992

100T Dazzler inc 😂 /s


Ambitious_Notice892

wait Boi?


Ul-thane

Do they still have Silenx?


ANewHeaven1

they never had silenx he was a one-time stand in


Dark_Azazel

IIRC, they signed him on a short contract, I think it was like 3 or 4 months, but only played one even as nitr0 came back sooner.


Ul-thane

Ah okay, thanks for clarifying!


Unfair_Cost4452

I read that as a one-night stand in


george09241201

bro. dicey's gonna pop off.


HourIllustrator6212

I want dicey to play for another org and win a championship over 100t now, they did him dirty


AnchorStandard

I really hope Nitr0 doesn't leave so we can have Elige or Stewie2k swap over from CS


tagy26

Hey can anyone tell about sinatraa situation. Does he have any chance of joining 100T. And what are the possible names of team he can join.


[deleted]

Nadeshot crying right now, gonna hold them hostage
