• 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.

and 100t buffed DRX

Every team that beat 100Thieves or played them internationally win it all. Sentinels, Gambit, Acend, OpTic(NV) and now DRX about to win champions. XSET next by eliminating flukePX

Even when we are eliminated we are still winning.

DRX beat 100 thieves so its only fair they win all of champions.

XSET and Optic are gonna roll everyone. Rip ShitMEA not even going to make top 4.

1. 100T
2. DRX
3. TSM
4. FNC
5. SR/LG

Derrek vs trent will be so fun to watch

If they get Sayaplayer next, t1 is my second favorite team.

Ofc the braindead twitter comments are defending Speed and the kid.

NA = FaZe/100t (most likely faze)
EMEA = G2
APAC = TS
SA = NIP
EA = DAMWON

I dont like OpTic but I want them to win just so I can see emea fans mald

Its gonna be another boring eu vs na series

The roster that made me fall in love with 100t and Valorant.

I tried to keep this as realistic as possible

.

This is gonna be the closest series in this group. I feel like they are both so evenly matched that you cant predict who will win.

Edit:
NRG got rolled.

lets fucking goooooo !!!!!

XSET 2-0 100T even though I want them to win. Its just more realistic that XSET takes it.

Asuna on his revenge tour. 100t 2-0 TSM.

The Guard 2-0 but both matches will be very close

edit: I was mistaken. 100t look really good.

As much as I want Optic to win, I need to see Zeta in grand finals. It just has to happen for the culture.

As a 100t fan Ive been saying this since last year. Hiko gotta retire and Asuna gotta leave 100t. Build the team around Ethan. And BabyJ was the perfect pickup. They should have picked up bang earlier though. I hate how they dropped him. Im so sad this team is going to become low tier 2 now.
