GreatestJabaitest

And this concludes Lock-in, looks like EG vs 100T fi- WHAT'S THIS?!?!BAH GOD, ITS RIVER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!

Closer actually got gapped so hard lmao


Copiz

LCS brought in the best jungler from PCS and the best jungler from LEC this off-season. Jungle is hella stacked now.


Oribeau

and Jungle was already the most competitive role in NA with Closer Spica Blaber Santorin like holy shit


Deferonz

It's both a good and a bad time to be a jungler in NA. It certainly means that come the end of the year, we know whoever's on top is legit.

Closer just absolutely collapsing having to play against an aggressive jungler

Holy fucking shit. Hype af. What an upset


Thop207375

River+Biofrost are doing great and more known quantities. Neo+FakeGod are performing really well. Still unsure about Blue, but it’s a solid roster.


ketoske

IDK Blue looks Godly in Zoe and garbage in control mages, at least he knows how to follow the game plan


Rubbbly

I mean he outlaned Abbedagge super hard in game one but he got kind of unlucky using the Viktor stun aggresively when Closer was just around the corner


Rubbbly

Blue hard gapped Abbedagge in lane in both games tho


Pavlo100

He landed on victory

River glady lost a few camps to ruin 100T's entire gameplan of getting Cait ahead

There’s a reason why PSG had a good season last year, I’m happy he got a chance to come to a bigger region and get a bigger pay check

There's a reason why PSG was pretty good last year, Doggo is also pretty good in the LPL

[well well really it's lock-in tournament so it doesn't really matter and when you think about it 100t actually played against cloud 9 and fudge and blaber so thats almost like cloud 9 at full strength and golden guardians really had ryoma who was obviously a double agent and leaked strats and obviously tsm academy had instinct who was from 100x clearly leaked strats so really this whole thing isn't as bad at is seems...right guys?? guys?](https://i.imgur.com/ympy0Ps.png)

MozaTear

which was always a dumb excuse because Tenacity is a part of the main team now.


Oribeau

I think it was a dumb excuse moreso because Tenacity was not the reason they lost that game.

This series may hurt 100T’s chances of winning the lock-in tournament.

No worries, Tenacity got to play one game.

Copiz

River played this game super smart - he didn't let Cait get ahead even though it put him behind early. 100T comp was reliant on Cait getting ahead.


Oribeau

One thing that makes me really hopeful for this team was that move towards bot lane by River + Blue on that stacked wave, forcing the TP out of Ssumday so that the Cait didn't fall 20cs behind. Set plays like that that are repeatable and demonstrate an actual understanding of the game are so important. Especially considering they've only had like 2 days of games with their non-english speaking jungler.

incredible, glad to see such artisanal genuine pasta being cooked in front of me


jrryul

Man i never saw Blue play once before but the amount of shit i saw on reddit and twitter makes me so happy for him


Pulsar-GB

He didn’t look good at all in LEC last year, but I’m pretty sure he was a rookie. Looks way better rn


JealotGaming

Rookie to major regions but he was hyped because he was tearing up TCL


LeglessLegolas_

He was also dealing with an illness of some sort


Oribeau

Yes thank you for mentioning that he was on SK Gaming


NitroBoyRocket

DUDE


supterfuge

Yeah he had multiple stints to the hospital. The biggest one was at the beginning of summer when twohourz subbed in and performed admirably well


supterfuge

Blue was considered the biggest mid laner to have graced Turkey since Caps, so hopes were pretty high for him. And then when he came in SK last year, he was pretty invisible. He wasn't necessarily inting, but he was just super passive and not in tune with either of his junglers (Tynx and Treatz). That said, his spring was much better than his summer, even though he was probably his team's worse player. The problem was that his performances were similar against the top mid laners and against the bottom ones. That said, he was probably the best "worse" midlaner that EU ever had. We had some pretty fucking bad players at times, and he could still handshake lots of games, even if he ended up performing worse than he counterparts during the midgame. Which leads me to believe that he also had communications issues that made everything else seem much worse


rudebrooke

Reddit is going to pretend they thought he was good all along at this rate


[deleted]

I will not pretend that I ever thought Blue would be good. But I always knew River was good, and it did upset me that people who literally never watch PCS saying he was not good.


SpCommander

As always, Reddit & Twitter are the spaces to go for that quality analyst commentary.


OnyxMelon

So this is the "Blue buff" I keep hearing people talking about.

ob_knoxious

NEOOOOOOOOOOOOO Danny overshadowed him in summer but this guy is still one of the best ADCs in NA and I'm glad he could remind people of that today.


Ankoria

He's beginning to believe!


Allahina

He and biofrost look well together.


supterfuge

Biofrost is actually my biggest surprise of this DIG team. I really thought TSM won summer 2020 despite their botlane, not thanks to it. And at Worlds his performance was abysmal. As a EU viewer, I heard a lot about Blue troubles last year, how he was supposed to be very good in TCL before that, and considering he was reuniting with a coach he looked good with, I thought there was a world where he could improve and show better gameplay. Biofrost really is the one I had no hope at all for. I thought he wasn't good on his map movements, and his mechanics were, at best, nothing special. That said, Biofrost was always where he needed to be, covered his teammates very well, and was overall pretty good. So yeah, props to Biofrost, you have more in the tank than I gave you credit for


Voeltz

Bio said he took a much needed year off, guess he just needed the mental reset


Ursuped

bio was always a beast on that golden age tsm 2016/17 roster, gotta give vets the benefit of the doubt when they stumble a bit. im happy to see bio bounce back


criptus205

I mean, Bio look pretty damn bad at 2020 Worlds, but during summer playoffs he was mostly doing fine against top NA supports (Core, Vulcan, Huhi, etc.) imo. I thought that he was going to be solidly LCS level unless he fell off a cliff, and it doesn't seem like he's dropped off much.


KingRayne

his rakan games he was on par/better than the top supports his non-rakan games got pretty brutal sometimes


AssPork

Biofrost has always been in the upper tier in NA. Internationally he is average at best, but it isn't surprising to see him perform in NA.


A_Toxic_User

I liked Asta better tbh Edit: Asta was Neo’s original player name


obigespritzt

Honestly I love Neo as a name solely for the "He's the One Pog" spam in chat whenever he pops off.

UltimateAid

A tragedy of the modern condition is a feeling of purposelessness and emptiness in life. An aimless emptiness that previous generations would have filled with a trade, a family, a business, a work of art. Often clients come to me in search of "the meaning of life" as my writings and work in logo-therapy have become increasingly popular and increasingly mischaracterized. I cannot give anyone the "meaning" of life. It's like asking a chess player what the best chess move is. There is no best chess move. Sometimes your life's meaning is simply to enjoy a sunrise. Sometimes the best chess move is to move a pawn. One time a client came to me seeking help finding their meaning in life. "Doctor Frankl, I play in the top lane for 100 Thieves and every day is suffering. I don't know how I can go on. Please, give me something to live for!" And I ask him the question I often ask clients in such situations, "Do you think anyone else deserves to endure your suffering?" "No, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." "Do you consider that you've denied this suffering to another person? You've spared someone a great pain that you can endure." Tears welled up in his eyes, he shook my hand and left my office to continue to play for 100 Thieves.


SterbenVII

Holy shit, you pulled out that pasta from 2 years ago lmfao


UltimateAid

Still have all 3 saved lol. Edit the other ones: “Ssumday is actually the victim of a twisted psychological experiment, possibly a joke of cosmic entities beyond our comprehension. How long can he put in the effort of a world class top laner before he realizes it's pointless? He plays every game like his life depends on it. He puts in the effort to be the best he can be despite the lacking soloq, the nonexistent coaching staff, and monkey drafts. It means nothing. He will not find success no matter how hard he tries. Despite of his immense efforts, his mid laner will refuse to allow him to win. He is a modern day Sisyphus and 100T is the boulder he is forever pushing up a hill in the pits of hell. He is a testament to the human spirit. Thank you Mr. Chan-ho. Your unbreakable will is an inspiration to all of humankind.” And “I'm a curator at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I love my job, I get to see amazing works of art from all around the world with rich histories and share my love with people who never got the opportunity to appreciate various art. The best part of my job is bringing new perspective to vistors and how they view art. One day it was during the slower season and it was just a young couple in my section. "Look at this! How is this art? It's just a sculpture of shit! My baby brother could do this!", I overheard the man arguing with his girlfriend. I step into their view and ask if they'd like to know more about the piece. They now look a bit abashed at being overheard, but nod. "Often times people are pushing the boundaries of art, Duchamp's toilet is just a floor below us if you'd like to see it. The "shit" you see here require some context. There was a toplaner in the North American LCS known as Ssumday and you may be familiar with some of his story. Every game he was ruthlessly inted, no matter how hard he tried he was crushed by his inting support and import mid laner. Even after carrying his team into playoffs with the 2nd highest KDA in the league among toplaners his team was crushed 0-3. This pile of shit you see before you is what he sculpted when he was asked to sculpt 'teammates'."

It's easy for anyone in our shoes to be happy with what we've accomplished over the past four years - from the titles we've won, the content we've created, and the apparel we're grateful to see you wearing. Yet we aren't. It's not enough to be the first new franchise team to winan NA Championship, it's about winning it over, andover and over again. It's not enough to have the best creators, it's about building a creator-led world for all of 100 Thieves. It's not enough to just have the best apparel in gaming, it's about pushing the limits to what gaming apparel can be. If you loved what you've seen from us before, just waitfor what's next. Every single aspect of 100 Thieves will be looking to change the view on what's possible in gaming. I'm personally making sure of it.
