bang had become a staple of the 100 Thieves roster, having played the controller role under the organization for nearly three years. Throughout their time together, they have found various levels of success. Their first accomplishment was winning the North American LCQ in 2022 to qualify to Champions. More recently, in 2024, they won Stage 1 of the Americas league and reached top four at Masters Shanghai. However, after Shanghai, the team slipped in form and failed to qualify to Champions. 100 Thieves recently announced his departure from the organization, with bang stating that it was the “hardest decision of [his] career.”

N4RRATE and bang have big shoes to fill, replacing two of Valorant's most prolific players, especially coming off of Sentinel's 2024 season. With a tournament victory at Masters Madrid and a top-four placement at Champions, they were arguably the most successful team from Americas throughout the year.
