100T = man united

Yes but because you're a child and don't know how organizations are run because you probably haven't even had a summer job, you believe the fault is the players. The actual fault lies with a man name Nadeshot, for hiring a man name JungleJuice, who signed a contract with Zikz until 2027, who hired the group of players you see playing for 100 Thieves.

Nadeshot and a bunch of influencers own 100 Thieves, so they can't be fired.

JungleJuice can.

Zikz can.

Responsibility lies with those in charge. Responsibility does not lie with those they employ. They made the decisions to hire them and every day they do not fire them is a decision Nadeshot, Junglejuice and Zikz makes. The players did not hire themselves and are not in control of their employment. Whether they compete or not means nothing.

If they are not worthy of competing they can be fired on the spot. California is an "at-will" employment state which means you can be fired without cause. Their contracts might say different but once again, the players did not draft their contracts, they simply signed them. If the 100 Thieves organization did not write a good contract to help them in these situations, it is on 100Thieves. The business of 100 Thieves holds the larger purse strings can hire lawyers to get them out of contracts. Players usually do not have a similar income stream to do such things.

So "put enough effort", your qualifying statement, starts at the top and works its way down. Nadeshot did not put enough effort into hiring the right person for JungleJuice's job. Zikz did not hire the right players to produce wins and ultimately is not a good enough coach to coach them to wins.

Players are not in control. People in control are the only ones who deserve blame.
