There's no better way to send off 100Talk than to be joined by the one and only John Robinson, President and COO of 100 Thieves. John joins Jordan and Cole for a look at some of the best moments of 100Talk and 100 Thieves, the evolving business strategy of the org, and most importantly - what the incredible 100Talk community has meant to the org an…

Jordan and Cole reflect on their 5-years of experience through the ups and downs of 100T esports.

The Thieves that burn twice as bright last half as long...or something. After a sizzling finish to the regular season, the Spring 2023 100T squad quickly flamed out in playoffs, losing both of their series in not-so-great form. After realizing he was VOD Squadding the last 100T action of the 100Talk era, Cole had an emotional breakdown and needed t…

100T has managed to climb from 8th place to 3rd place in a matter of a week, and fans are beside themselves. 7 straight wins are making the dads think that this is more than a honeymoon with Nukeduck - it just may be true love. Sitting pretty in winner’s bracket for this weekend, the Thieves look to be a dark horse contender for the LCS title, seem…

With Kaas out and Nukeduck in, somehow, the honeymoon has officially begun. A change has done the Thieves good, with the squad turning in a dominant 2-0 weekend including a substantial win against the surging Golden Guardians. The rookies are stepping up, Bjergsen is playing aggressive, Doublelift is a killer Xayah, and Closer is back on his big ch…

100T made big news with their decision to fire head coach Kaas and to let Nukeduck step up as interim head LCS coach after the team turned in what is likely its worst week of League of Legends in the org’s history. Given the presence of established, outspoken veterans on the squad (who are currently underperforming expectations), a lot of fans are …

A win is a win, and a one and one is a one and one. But things still don’t feel all the way right at the 100 Thieves [redacted] Compound. The dads discuss how beating Team Liquid doesn’t mean quite as much as it used to, and while we were more competitive against FlyQuest, we ultimately made too many mistakes (one) and so we weren’t able to win aga…

An extremely sad and surprising 0-3 was turned in by 100 Thieves this weekend, and boy does it hit different this time around. In a matter of two weeks the squad went from looking ahead of schedule and a potential title contender, to looking anemic and lost. Jordan and Cole call the 100Kids together to compile a litany of complaints and evaluate wh…

An important weekend for 100 Thieves passed with a 1-1 result including a valuable win over Team Liquid (seriously, do we ever lose to them anymore?) and a not-so-competitive loss to FlyQuest. The microscope is on the 100T rookies as they continue their very public development in the LCS. Tenacity turns in an almost-good-enough-to-carry performance…

A clean and confident 2-0 weekend against some admittedly less-than-lethal opposition has left the 100Talk dads in a great mood. They clock the progress of 100T’s rookies and veterans against expectations (spoiler alert - we’re ahead of schedule), take some time to memorialize Solo after his life was taken from him by Tenacity, plus discuss the eff…

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This new 100T roster is starting the split a lot like the old 100T roster - slowly. Cole and Jordan bring the 100Kids together to explain why we're not overwhelmed, we're not underwhelmed, we're just - whelmed. The dads also talk about the perspective discrepancy that exists between evaluating th…

100Talk welcomes 100 Thieves LCS General Manager Joseph “JungleJuice” Jang for a discussion of his transition to GM during one of the weirdest offseasons ever. The dads ask the burning question on all fans’ minds - what will we get content-wise in 2023? Plus, JungleJuice comments on the shift in the player market and what he expects from the stunni…

On this exciting episode of The COD Job, the dads get together to do what any good CDL fan would - draw sweeping conclusions about teams and players from just one weekend of play. They talk about a thorough drubbing of Vegas Legion and coming within 2 seconds of beating FaZe 3-1, and the positive discrepancy between LAT’s stats and their game resul…

It’s still 2022 but somehow, it’s time for the 2023 CDL season to begin. The 100Talk dads are as excited as ever to see if their beloved COD boys can go back to back as champs. Ahead of qualifiers for Major I, they share their joy at the 100 Thieves Hall of Fame inductions of Kenny and Octane, talk about the (welcome) lack of staff and roster chang…

Another impromptu stream finds Jordan and Cole just hanging out with chat discussing the reported 100T roster on Free AgencEve, the last day before the roster window begins. Enjoy!

An impromptu episode of 100Talk finds Cole breaking down his thoughts on the current rumored roster for 100 Thieves, but is couched in a reminder that rumors are just that - rumors. He also explains why communication from 100 Thieves is limited in a time of change and offers his take on what all of the signals mean for 100T’s LoL program. Listen he…

In a sad day for 100 Thieves fans, the org announced the departure of head coach Reapered. Perhaps not surprising to those trying to read the tea leaves about LCS economics, the move is still proving unpopular to fans who enjoyed three straight LCS finals, two trips to Worlds, and one domestic championship. Jordan and Cole give their takes on the m…

Looking much better in week 2 of Worlds Groups, 100 Thieves’ invigorated performance still ultimately fell short of getting to Worlds Quarterfinals after a very close loss to RNG and Gen.G’s destruction of a corpse shortly afterwards. The boys finished their 2022 year as members of the Western 1-5 Club, but without much else to smile about. Despite…

Worlds 2022 got off to a very rough start for 100T fans as the Thieves tripped at the starting gate. Dropping a game to CTBC Flying Oyster was NOT how we envisioned our first groups outing to go, and the loss painted reasonable efforts against Gen.G and RNG in a darker light. With all NA teams on the ropes at 0-3, there doesn’t seem to be much hope…

Giving listeners control over which topics come up next for discussion, the 100Talk dads are back and ready to let the hate flow through them after watching a weird, frustrating, and ultimately a little boring play-ins stage of Worlds 2022. On the menu for this night of potshots are Very Unexpected Game Delays™, the problem with the play-in format,…

A weekend with so much promise and opportunity concluded without much ado about anything. 100 Thieves scraped together a gritty win against a less-than-full-strength Evil Geniuses, only to be blown off the rift by (obvious villains how can no one else see this) Cloud9. The 100Talk dads try to piece together their fractured memories of a painful wee…

Cole made a quick guest appearance on a special LCS Championship Week podcast hosted by David Szajnuk - a true meeting of the minds between the fan podcasts of the Worlds-qualified LCS teams.

100T’s Revenge Tour 2022 begins now. We’re grateful that tough weekends for 100T esports are increasingly rare, but we did indeed endure one as our beloved LCS boys dropped to the loser’s bracket at the hands of a hot (and PRRRROBABLY lucky) C9, and the Valorant squad suffered a similar fate against DRX in Istanbul. Still, losing can be very instru…

100 Thieves has locked in a second consecutive Worlds appearance, their third in five years. This year came courtesy of Team Liquid doing what they usually do against us in playoffs - dragging out the series even though its outcome is already decided. Along the way, we got some incredibly memorable teamfighting, a very sad and heartfelt postgame in…

A miraculous thing happened this weekend: 100 Thieves dropped a game to FlyQuest and for once nobody gave a sermon preaching about why this means the team is a fraud. That means Jordan and Cole have less work to do on this end of regular season edition of 100Talk. The dads follow the thread of what we learned through 100T’s super week games and how…

The glorious win streak continues as 100T turns in another 2-0 weekend, defeating an unpredictable Golden Guardians before avenging a first round robin loss to Cloud 9. The Thieves have been so good for so long that even analysts and pundits are starting to begrudgingly admit it. Truly miraculous times for 100T fans to live through. Jordan and Cole…

We came. We saw. We ran it up. LA Thieves are your 2022 CDL Champions, and the faithful have finally been rewarded. Cole leads a celebration stream chock-full of call-ins from LA Thieves fans both old and new. Discussions include the patient long view of team management, passionate banter from Drazah, doling out credit to all of the players, coache…

A 2-0 weekend is a 2-0 weekend, but not all are created equal. Good thing the 100 Thieves fanbase is a gnarled and seasoned group that won’t overreact to any uncharacteristically sloppy games, right? Right. The dads lead the family discussion on what admittedly wasn’t the cleanest set of matches from 100T, taking note of the confidence level of thi…

The most convincing 100T wins come when ̶n̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ the analysts don’t expect them. The Thieves smoked both the scrappy upstart NA underdog org AND Evil Geniuses this weekend, leading analysts everywhere to finally *checks notes* keep the conversation status quo… On a serious note, this squad looks to be hitting on all cylinders as we head into t…

100 Thieves opted to extend the LCS break an extra day and come back rested and ready for their Sunday game. The 100Talk dads are forced, however, to acknowledge that there was apparently a game played on Saturday. Cole and Jordan explain why they are not worried about the occasional slip up from the otherwise solid Thieves and why fans should be a…

The five fan families of LCS podcast-dom meet in the first ever LCS Fan Podpalooza. The 100Talk dads are joined by: CurlyQQ, Noxwar, and SandyToez of Flight Check Crew Havokpus of Bodied (a C9 Fancast) Prim3 of the Live Evil podcast Robert Hanes of The Game Haus, Talking TSM, and Hot Takes For an unforgettable night of listener calls, banter, and t…

Haters and doubters were out in full force last week, but 100 Thieves rallied for a very convincing 2-0 weekend that included a boring, yet calculated win against TL and a birthday bash for Ssumday against IMT. Jordan and Cole revel in the glory of victory, with their trust in Abbedagge validated (at least for now). They also analyze the playstyle …

After a vacation break, the dads are back in town and ready to guide you through the spit that fulfills your faith in PapaSmithy, 100 Thieves, and humanity. A sputtering start to the split has made some fans concerned, but are the fathers worried as well? They break down what they liked and didn’t like from the past weekend’s games and try to calm …

Esports fans tend to believe that as soon as your team loses one significant match, you can blow up the roster, hire new coaches, and immediately see success. What a foolish attitude. Wait. That’s exactly what has happened with 100 Thieves’ Valorant program. After a flurry of changes that earned the ridicule of the twitteredditsphere, somehow the s…

This was an unplanned discussion from our Monday night Rip It stream. We cover: - Rare problems with 100T's Country Club drop - Hype factor of ALGS, NiceWigg casting - Valorant squad's performance in open qualifier Have fun!

After all of the hype and buildup to the 2022 Spring LCS Finals, 100T fans were rudely awakened to the fact that it’s Danny’s world and we’re just living in it. EG made the Thieves the third victim in a blistering loser’s bracket run of 3-0 victories to claim the org’s first LCS title and to assume the mantle of NA’s new hope, much to our chagrin. …

It was a very close series, but ultimately 100T woke up and TL went to sleep as Abbedagge ulted into the enemy base and backdoored the Thieves into the LCS Grand Finals. The dads discuss what this series reveals about our team and pick many bones with the way analysts and casters are discussing 100T and their opponents. Among the conversations are …

Despite both dads predicting a #100Win over C9 in round 1 of the LCS playoffs, 100T exceeded expectations with stomps that featured the return of weakside Ssumday, aggressive bot lanes, Viktordagge, and a monstrous, rabid Closer. LCS fans are forced to move on from Regular Season MVP Summit (who went 2/23/5 in his last 4 games against 100T) and to …

100 Thieves came through big time this weekend, shutting the door on TSM's playoff hopes and delivering a customary thorough defeat of a sizzling hot C9 squad (as has been done in past splits). 100Talk had its most visible moment in LCS with our poll about Ssumday vs Closer as our MVP representative hitting the broadcast twice. The timing was perfe…

Highly entertaining League of Legends was played this weekend by 100T. Running wild on the rift are Ssumday, Abbedagge, and objective bounties. A thorough defeat of Immortals was followed by yet another chapter in the vaunted series “Make Sure You Stick a Stake In EG’s Heart Or Else They Might Not Be Dead.” Your dads underscore what worked this wee…

Having been the beneficiary of the Golden Guardians Gives 503(c)(3) public charity, 100 Thieves now enjoys sole possession of 3rd place in the LCS standings after what is recorded by the impartial historians as a 2-0 weekend. Happily for 100T fans, playoffs is looking good - and there may even be an explanation for the team’s slow spring start. Mit…

For the first time in forever - a weekend of 100T performing in line with expectations. That’s something we can build on, right??? The 100Talk dads are back to cover what was a pretty decent loss against Team Liquid and an enthusiastic win against CLG. Despite the notable improvements, some questions linger: Do we need more champions in our pools? …

The Spring of Perplexity abides. In perhaps the most exasperating weekend for 100T fans, the Thieves secured a (relatively) meaningless win against a floundering TSM, a backbreaking loss of could-have-been for C9, and a complete mental lapse against Dignitas. After a round robin that defied all expectations - and not in a good way, fans are left wi…

The Spring of Perplexity abides. After a systematic dismantling of Golden Guardians, 100 Thieves drops its third game of 2022 to everyman squad FlyQuest. 4-2 certainly isn’t a bad record, but it hasn’t stopped 100T fans from behaving as if the sky is falling. The finger seems to be most often pointing at Abbedagge, so the dads dive in to sort out w…

What could have been an excellent 2nd week of 100 Thieves LCS unfortunately got a big ugly black eye when the squad threw a lead and dropped a game to the questionable Immortals. Fortunately, the bounce-back was real as the boys rallied to dismantle a very talented Evil Geniuses team. The dads spend a lot of time discussing what Ssumday’s excellent…

Rumors of 100T’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The champs entered the 2022 spring split as underdogs to TL and came out…overdogs. With a clean 2-0 and a slow, calculated style, the Thieves look to have shaken off their poor Lock In performance like Jay-Z brushing his shoulder off. Jordan and Cole host a fireside to talk about the team’s ada…

Defying all predictions, expectations, and logic, 100 Thieves were promptly bounced from the LCS Lock In tournament in quarterfinals by a scrappy(???) Dignitas team. The Thieves will have to watch the rest of the tourney from home like us peasants. Despite very strong showings against some teams during the group stage, it seems there is much rust t…

100T’s LCS Lock In started out as planned, but quickly took an unexpected turn with the subbing in of Tenacity and the subsequent destruction at the hands of an anemic FlyQuest squad. If the dads were in a tough position trying to draw any conclusions about the 2022 Thieves before, things just got a lot more complicated. They discuss the merits of …

The dads are back from basking in the glow of an LCS title and a dominating Worlds victory over EDG. The holiday season gave Jordan and Cole plenty of time to think about the important questions about the upcoming season, like in which fashion 100T will win Worlds. In this pre-Lock-In episode of 100Talk, they break down whether Lock-in will be mean…

Today, the dads just happened to have JungleJuice lined up to interview. They were gifted with the announcement of 100T's 2022 LCS roster and the signing of General Sniper to 100X just before the podcast. Funny how things work sometimes. With 100T winning the onseason AND (seemingly) the offseason, Jordan and Cole speak with 100T Head of LoL Strate…
