100 Thieves 100 Thieves North America Rank #6 zander Alexander Dituri Cryocells Matthew Panganiban eeiu Daniel Vucenovic Boostio Kelden Pupello Asuna Peter Mazuryk has released four players from its roster, leaving just Hiko remaining among its original roster members. The organization has added nitr0 , who recently moved to Valorant from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

100 Thieves

@100Thieves

America’s captain has a new look.

Welcome @nitr0 to 100 Thieves VALORANT. #100T

Prior to moving to Valorant, nitr0 had been the in-game leader of Team Liquid's Counter-Strike roster since 2015. He and his Liquid teammates won numerous titles in 2019, including the championship in the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals. Their efforts earned them the $1,000,000 USD Intel Grand Slam Season 2 prize and they finished second in the HLTV.org end of year rankings after peaking at number one earlier in the year.

The organization is splitting with a roster that has failed to secure results since its signing. The team peaked in their first event with a top six finish in the 16-team T1 x Nerd Street Gamers VALORANT Showdown but failed to make it out of the group stage of the next two Ignition Series events they competed in. They were on a five-match losing streak in Ignition events.

The four released players— Venerated , Valliate , YaBoiDre , and Pride —previously played together on the unsigned Highground Highground Inactive sharky Mike Gariti Venerated Zachary Roach Valliate Keane Alonso YaBoiDre Diondre Bond Vegas Jaden James Pride Alfred Choi squad before joining 100 Thieves. They are currently free agents and have not announced their future plans.

100 Thieves will now have to add three more players to rebuild their roster around Hiko and nitr0. The two were teammates once on Team Liquid's CS team before Hiko left the organization in 2017.

The organization has yet to announce when it will compete in its next tournament.

The 100 Thieves 100 Thieves North America Rank #6 zander Alexander Dituri Cryocells Matthew Panganiban eeiu Daniel Vucenovic Boostio Kelden Pupello Asuna Peter Mazuryk roster is currently:

Spencer "Hiko" Martin
Nicholas "nitr0" Cannella

The only person I think that could have stayed from the previous team was ~~Valliate~~ Venerated, but I respect 100T for being willing to make big moves in such a short amount of time

I don't understand dropping Venerated but ig they wanted a fresh start with HiKo and nitr0. Wish the best of luck to Venerated, Pride, yaboidre and Valliate.

Still seems mad to me that such a top tier CSGO player is already in VALORANT, wonder if any more will come/how many more will come. GL

Damn... Knew it...100t would be doing something big. But Nitro..! Couldn't have imagined a Top tier csgo at near his peak leaving and joining a new esport.

This is amazing but sad to see them let Venerated go he is such a good player. I'm so excited to see this new roster come together. Based on the 2 players they have, this team should be a powerhouse with the right signings.

I thought he'd join T1 or something

T1 Also sux and needs to rebuild.
And he was takling to Brax on Twitter a few times. So i just drew an obvious conclusion.

imo switching out a player on T1 with someone like nitr0 would significantly improve the team, but i think an internal change in attitude and better planning/coordination could achieve a similar effect without the burden of signing a new player

T1 doesn't suck, they just need to play more tournaments.
Who would you replace? All 5 players are very talented.
Idk why you think losing to TSM, Gen.G and Homeless once makes you suck but you do you.

Like I said losing to TSM and Gen.G doesn't mean you suck but the Homeless loss is head scratching. Also do you really think they should already change their roster? 100T makes sense because they were only beating Ninja in tournaments and getting out every group stage.

They have performed worse and worse in Ignition series tournaments while other teams such as Sentinels, TSM, Gen.G, Immortals, Cloud9, and Envy (basically every other tier 1 org team) have improved.

I Mean they have to improve some how. Either work on comunication or gamble it All on a superteam,
and I Mean they could do both.

It's way too early to gamble on a superteam.

They're the only tier1 org backed team that sucks so much.
Until they prove it in tournaments you can't just keep selling their potential i.e. "but they have brax! crashies top cypher!" blablabla..

he does a better job with streamming, he would loose a lot of influence too

Feels bad for Venerated, he would reliably top score when Hiko wasn't. He might have left on his own accord, seeing that his long time teammates were getting dropped.

I'm glad they blew up the roster. I hope now Hiko is getting more of a say in the team building alongside nitr0.

out of all the former CSGO players to enter Valo, I think nitr0 is the one in better shape, let's see how he does in Riot's shooter. GL Nicholas!
