As much as it hurts to admit, 100T is 100% Valorant's Tottenham. There is no shortage of good players, and they're always entertaining to watch individually and as a team. They always seem so close to reaching that next level every season. They'll get a convincing win or two where they look absolutely insane in every facet of the game and you'll get a tantalizing glimpse of just how high their ceiling is. Maybe they'll dominate a top team or two, making an absolute mockery of those teams and all the analysts that backed them. If you're lucky, you might even get to witness them seemingly put everything together for a while and make a deep run at a major tournament, or win a B-tier event. You become delirious with hope, no one can tell you shit. Everything's coming together, 100T's finally becoming a consistently top team. Analysts even start pegging them as one of the teams to make the next Masters or Champions, maybe even being dark horses to win the whole thing. And then the devastating loss happens and all that momentum is stopped dead. So agonizingly close to reaching that top level, but sadly no cigar. Again. "Lads, it's Tottenham 100 Thieves", the community jeers. But you saw how they performed, how razor-close they were this time. And although it wasn't enough, they at least showed that don't have too far left to go to finally get to that level. They'll put all the pieces together next game, next tournament, next season. But just like how Tottenham fans had to watch Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, and Kyle Walker become serial winners after leaving the club, eventually you have to settle with watching that current crop of 100T players go to other teams, fulfill the potential that you always saw in them, and win the big trophies. Idk anymore.
