ok i know SEN/EG is going on rn but that game is hella sleeper i mean eg jus isn't shooting back so take a read at my weekly mangotan take!
A bit about me: Hello everyone, my name is 100T mangotan - unofficial analyst for 100 Thieves and fan of the team since Asuna first joined during their First Strike win. For years, I've watched and analyzed this team, and this year, I’m going to be releasing weekly analysis on my boys in red.
Quick preface: I’m half brazilian half chinese so i’m actually super hyped for lukxo’s debut. He played hella good on Galorys at ascension last year, so hopefully he’s one of the new gen of brazilian talent that will stamp their legacy into the next couple of years of franchising (Sato, all of LEV acad, etc).
Still tho, Zander will enact his revenge and 100T will win. No more choking Map 5 in Ascension Finals, this is VCT Americas baby!
RECAP: Why did 100T win last week
EG looked Awful - like they forgot how to play. Cryo was just Beaming, racking up kills while EG’s defense was full of Holes. Teamplay was Crisp too - 100T’s synergy was on Point, Boostio making calls like a God while EG looked like a bunch of Randoms. Way better vibes than SEN’s Chaos too i mean they looked awful against KRU.
Why will 100T win this game?
Ok hear me out - LOUD’s got some Juice, and i think they’ll put up a fight, Especially with luk_xo in the mix. Mans got aim that Slaps, and his Ascension showing was Nuts, but he’s new to LOUD and he’s gonna Choke under the VCT pressure - it’s just how it Be. LOUD’s teamplay isn’t Tight enough to handle 100T’s aggression hitting at the Perfect moment. Boostio’s been Cooking strats, and 100T’s gonna Roll LOUD with executes that leave them Clueless. Asuna and Cryo boutta Feast - think 30-bombs while LOUD’s backline is Malding. LOUD might have that Brazilian Energy, but their setups are Shaky, and 100T’s gonna punish every Mistake. Past record? Doesn’t Matter - 100T’s form rn is Cracked, and LOUD’s getting Bodied.
What am I expecting from 100T?
I want 100T coming out Swinging like LOUD personally insulted their Moms. Asuna’s gonna go so Hard that LOUD fans will be Crying for a nerf - dude’s the King of NA and he’s here to Prove it. Cryo’s aim is gonna be so Clean LOUD’s duelists will be Alt-f4ing mid-game, and Boostio’s Calls are gonna make LOUD’s IGL look like a Bot. Expecting 100T to play Fast, Fearless, and Unhinged - full Sends, nasty Flicks, zero Chill. They’ve had time to Anti-strat LOUD’s predictable plays, and it’s gonna Show. This isn’t just a W, it’s a Statement to flex NA > Brazil this time. Gimme some Chaos that’ll have LOUD’s comms sounding like a total Clownshow - i’m Living for it.
Final Result: 100 Thieves 2-1 LOUD
Map 1 - Icebox: 13-9, 100T. Cryo holding B like a Chad, droppin 25 Kills while LOUD’s util just Flops. Asuna Lurking catches LOUD sleeping, and they Tilt into orbit.
Map 2 - Ascent: 13-7, LOUD. Luk_xo Pops off with some Disgusting aim, and LOUD steals one with raw Fragging - respect to my Brazilian Roots, but it’s not Enough.
Map 3 - Haven: 13-5, 100T. Boostio’s mid-round Calls shred LOUD’s Defense, and Cryo Clutches a 1v2 to seal it while LOUD fans spam Copium in chat.
See you all after the game. #100TWIN
