After a top-eight finish at LOCK//IN, expectations were high for this 100 Thieves squad. They were not met, as 100 Thieves had to fight hard for three of their four wins in the VCT Americas.

The starting roster isn't the only set to alter in 100 Thieves, as changes to the coaching staff have been reported by BLIX.GG. According to Alejandro Gomis, former Evil Geniuses assistant coach Zikz has reached a verbal agreement with 100T and could be the team's new head coach. While Mikes' contract is only set to expire in 2025, the report also says his future with the organization is currently unknown.
