Why do 100T have fans.

#1

Denjisideals

I have not been into valorant eSports since the start and hence pardon me if I have missed any major tournament results or happenings but why do 100T have so many fans? This is in no way a shade to them but a genuine question. I can understand why Sen or Loud have fans because they won tournaments or they have a whole country's support behind them. But from what I can recall 100T have never won a major tournament ( or I am tripping in which case, I apologise) so what are the source of all these fans and them being called a "clout" team. Where is this clout coming from?

100T had the initial valorant superstars. Asuna even though overrated, but he was still one of the first big names of valorant because of his playstyle back then. Hiko was also really influential because he WAS good at the game and also because of his CS career.
Other players like steel, nitr0, and ethan also have been good CS players so a lot of their fans were those who came from CS.
100T also had one of the first BIG comebacks (not scorewise, but elimination was on the line) against Acend (who were the strongest team back then because of cNed), so that was pretty huge for them.
this is the match if u are wondering

And they were one of the first teams to win big in NA

he is asking a valid question, 100T has too many fans for a dead team.

as a 100t enjoyer, the players have always had lots of flashy clips which has made me a fan

your acting like 100t did better though when they didnt they didnt qualify the 2 masters in 2022 and also they did shit in champs 22 as well , had shit 2023 worse than sen. i will only agree 100ts 2022 season was better than sen but any team seasons was better than sen cus they were fucking shit

their run to champs was good imo. also berlin was actually a lot better than i remembered. they had that comeback against acend, but they also came back against gambit and they came 4th. at the end of the day neither team has been good, but to say they did NOTHING is a bit too harsh. sen literally did nothing compared to 100t

A lot of people like the org in North America. Kinda similar to KC last year with France

The org itself is also more respectable, especially compared to other NA orgs. Nadeshot comes from a pro gaming background in COD and has generally had less negative media/interactions with players and the business side of esports ie: G2, Optic, C9, EG...........

People aren't fans of teams just based on wins or not. Given that logic Sen shouldn't have had any fans in 22-23
