100t changes

• Change 1: New head coach, put mikes back in as an assistant again. He has good game plans and strats but he’s terrible at keeping mental up. Especially during most impactful rounds. He calls good timeouts but i assume he says the wrong things. Thats what was good about sgares as coach. He was really good at keeping 100t mental up.

• Change 2: New IGL, in the ideal world this would be the easiest change but the lack of igl sentinels in na is so bad. Maybe just do what the league roster did and import a player. But stellar just has bad mental. After seeing that interview during map 3 it looks like he gave up way before the game started. The team is too young. They need an oldhead igl to keep the mental up even when the games get tough. Stellars as an igl having a weak mental like that ends up translating on the other young players causing them to have bad mental. Even when the situation is hopeless you still cant give up. But I think majority of it comes from the head coach in pivotal points. I agree though stellar is a very talented player so it would be hard to replace him. He just needs a better head coach to guide him.

• If they cant get rid of stellar i still feel like they need some sort of roster change. Derrek is great and has good potential but i think he is a star player. It looks like he plays in a role where he has to be the crutch for asuna, cryo and bang. Especially when they overheat. That puts derrek in bad spots and he cant clutch up like he did in LCQ last year. Rise was really good at letting derrek shine especially since he only played sova majority of the time. Derrek is a franchise player just not on a good one on 100t.

-Overall thoughts: Its fine if they don’t make roster changes. But they need a new coach. A coach that can help increase mental. All the players on 100t are young and superstars. The wrong type of guidance can lead them the wrong gameplay and make 100 thieves even worse. Get sliggy or someone who has experience working with world class players. 100t need a system change.
If no roster change happens then 100t need a role change. Put stellar on initator or controller. I think bang is a great controller but he is talented enough to pick up a new role. I know bang has tried igling for 100t before so maybe that. Then maybe stellar can strictly focus on mastering his character. If derrek stays turn him to a sentinel player. He is big brain when it comes to killjoy. And then he can just flex to sova on sova heavy maps.
Finally Asuna on duelist. He is just a natural on that. Definitely one of the best flex but i think bang can be a better flex.

Asuna - Second Duelist/Flex(if one duelist comp)
Derrek - Sentinel/Sova(on sova maps)
Stellar - Controller
Bang - Flex/Omen(on omen maps)
Cryo - Duelist/Chamber

TLDR
New system change which means starting with:

• New head coach for mental, move Mikes to assistant for game plans.

• drop stellar. Hard replacement tho. So a rare chance this even happens but would help 100t since you get an older igl with good mental(losing talent ofc).

• If they cant drop stellar tho, drop Derrek. He is good as a player but he isnt good for 100 thieves. They need a player who is focused strictly on support. A non igl sentinel. (BabyJ😂)

-if all players stay. Get a new coach to change up roles and increase mental.

-100t need to be more flexible.

Ain't gonna read dat

People disrespecting derrek as a player when its not exactly his fault that there are 2 sova maps in this map pool and 100T ban ascent so its literally just haven that he isn't flexing on. Look at fnatic who play exclusively sova/fade maps in order to get the best out of leo. Derreks sova is defo franchise worthy, just a shame that 100T coaching staff aren't putting as much value on player comfortability, and instead on weak game plans with suboptimal comps.

You wasted your time writing this (decent writing though good job). I have seen the same "100T changes" for the past 50 threads.

drop stellar for johnqt

Bro wrote a novel about 100T 💀

I don’t rlly understand you’re thinking behind mixing up the roles of the team, I think 9/10 mixing up roles for people is an awful idea, they’ve gotten used to playing one type of agent, and now you want them to play another type of agent? They clearly are comfortable on the role they have now and taking them off their comfort role usually spells disaster for a team, and if mixing up roles was going to fix the issue don’t you think they would have done it already?

I read your article, I think coaching is a huge issue, but dropping Derrek and Stellar make wayyyy too much sense.

C9 dropped yay because of role issues, he just wasn't flexible enough to fit in with what the team was trying to do. Same applies here.

I think picking up jq and Eeiu makes a ton of sense, and then IF the head coach wants to go and grab someone like Nismo/zander and drop either asuna/bang, then all good but i leave that to the coach to make that decision. Either that or you go and grab Flyuhh, another solid option but I personally think johnnqt.

IMO asuna is an insane player when you let him reck havoc on a entry like role like raze/kayo etc. Nismo is insane as well but i think asuna's ability to thrive in chaos is amazing. It just needs structure which is with the OG Sean Gares provided. Bang? I think when you specify a gameplan and you say post plant your role is this, or on the entry your job is to hold this and anchor hard, he just plays so skillfully(remember those bind brimmy or omen ascent days with the old roster?)

Im kind of salty they never went and got trent, the fact that guy never got picked up is still baffling. All in all sucks but it is what it is. On a personal selfish note, i would love nitro back for no other reason that him/hiko was the reason i became a 100t fan, I'm an OG cs player and those guys are my guys man. But whatever helps the team win I'm all for.

-botsunaa
-paycheck steaLLer
-not anymore LCQ demon derrek overwatch
+johnqt
+eeiu dan the goat
+nismo

your welcome, just saved your entire roster.

100T johnqt makes so much sense

welcome back nitrO to 100T as new IGL

I feel like 100T needs at least one real veteran within the five players, all of them are very young. So imo replacing stellar with steel would make sense, he is flexible enough to fit in.
