On the homepage, 100 Thievves has just announced the new Valorant squad with players including Derrek “Derrek” Ha, Brenden “Stellar” McGrath, William “Will” Cheng, Sean “Bang” Bezerra and Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk. Earlier, this team said goodbye to Ethan “Ethan” Arnold, Noah “JCstani” Smith, Hunter “Babyj” Schline and Adam “EC1S” Eccles.
Meanwhile, captain Spencer “Hiko” Martin also officially said goodbye to his professional Valorant career. Replacing the position of Hiko will be Stellar. At the end of the stage 1 stage of the 2022 season, 100 Thieves created a series of disturbances when it was impossible to participate in Masters 1 Reykjavik. Finally, Asuna was the only player who was kept by the leadership of 100 Thievves.
Besides, CEO Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag recruited 3 more members to reform the training staff of 100 Thieves. Specifically, Sean “Sgares” Gares is holding the role of chief coach. Support for Sgares will be Michael “Mikes” Hockom. In the 2021 season, Mikes led Team Envy (now Optic Gaming) and helped the team to the Masters 3 final.
In addition, Daniel “DDK” Kapadia was also appointed to the senior management position of the Valorant team of 100 Thieves. This shows that the organization is determined to regain its position when experiencing a series of disappointing results at the end of the 2021 season and early 2022 season. In the domestic arena, 100 Thieves proved to fall behind compared to Optic Gaming, Cloud9 or The Guard.
At VCT 2022 North America Stage 1 Challengers, The Guard was impressive after the 3-2 victory over Optic Gaming, thereby becoming the No. 1 seed of North America to compete at Masters 1 in Iceland.
