100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastKEEP IT 100 - 100 Thieves’ LCS Spring 2023 ConcludesThe Thieves that burn twice as bright last half as long...or something. After a sizzling finish to the regular season, the Spring 2023 100T squad quickly flamed out in playoffs, losing both of their series in not-so-great form. After realizing he was VOD Squadding the last 100T action of the 100Talk era, Cole had an emotional breakdown and needed to get right back to talking to the 100Kids about what happened. So, here's another episode of Keep It 100, our semi-sometime call-in show featuring NOTHING BUT LISTENER TAKES!Listen here.2023-03-281h 37

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastWhite Hot 100T’s Rocket Doesn’t Stop - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 8 Recap100T has managed to climb from 8th place to 3rd place in a matter of a week, and fans are beside themselves. 7 straight wins are making the dads think that this is more than a honeymoon with Nukeduck - it just may be true love. Sitting pretty in winner’s bracket for this weekend, the Thieves look to be a dark horse contender for the LCS title, seemingly out of nowhere. Cole and Jordan recap the joy that was this weekend, including 100Talk parting gifts from Brother Solo and Brother Jojo and some sweet revenge against the 100T understudies, CL...2023-03-211h 30

100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast100T Rebounds for Playoffs - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 7 RecapWith Kaas out and Nukeduck in, somehow, the honeymoon has officially begun. A change has done the Thieves good, with the squad turning in a dominant 2-0 weekend including a substantial win against the surging Golden Guardians. The rookies are stepping up, Bjergsen is playing aggressive, Doublelift is a killer Xayah, and Closer is back on his big champs. The wins come in the nick of time, with playoffs suddenly looking much more likely for our beloved boys.Jordan and Cole analyze which specific signs of life the Thieves were showing during the weekend and debate how...2023-03-141h 33

100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast100T Takes the Nukelear Option - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 6 Recap100T made big news with their decision to fire head coach Kaas and to let Nukeduck step up as interim head LCS coach after the team turned in what is likely its worst week of League of Legends in the org’s history. Given the presence of established, outspoken veterans on the squad (who are currently underperforming expectations), a lot of fans are crying scapegoat. Jordan and Cole think through what we know and what we don’t know about the situation, and discuss the legitimacy of the changes based on the balance. They also lay out the path for...2023-03-071h 26

100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast100T’s Strategy Struggles - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 5 RecapA win is a win, and a one and one is a one and one. But things still don’t feel all the way right at the 100 Thieves [redacted] Compound. The dads discuss how beating Team Liquid doesn’t mean quite as much as it used to, and while we were more competitive against FlyQuest, we ultimately made too many mistakes (one) and so we weren’t able to win against the dominant team. Cole and Jordan spend a lot of time breaking down the stats and eyeball test for rookies Tenacity and Busio and check them against their presea...2023-03-021h 12

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastOh No, Not Again - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 4 RecapAn extremely sad and surprising 0-3 was turned in by 100 Thieves this weekend, and boy does it hit different this time around. In a matter of two weeks the squad went from looking ahead of schedule and a potential title contender, to looking anemic and lost. Jordan and Cole call the 100Kids together to compile a litany of complaints and evaluate which ones have merit and which ones will pass. The dads also break down the possible ways out from this mess and encourage, as ever, patience. Common 100Talk episode ready to be enjoyed by all!Listen...2023-02-211h 21

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastDoublelift University and the 100T Freshmen - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 3 RecapAn important weekend for 100 Thieves passed with a 1-1 result including a valuable win over Team Liquid (seriously, do we ever lose to them anymore?) and a not-so-competitive loss to FlyQuest. The microscope is on the 100T rookies as they continue their very public development in the LCS. Tenacity turns in an almost-good-enough-to-carry performance, while Busio seems to be having a bit more trouble finding his footing. Cole and Jordan dive into their takes on both, while also discussing the pressure cooker that is the Doublelift content machine. The big question now is how much progress can be made...2023-02-141h 12

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastFeeling Strangely Fine - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 2 RecapA clean and confident 2-0 weekend against some admittedly less-than-lethal opposition has left the 100Talk dads in a great mood. They clock the progress of 100T’s rookies and veterans against expectations (spoiler alert - we’re ahead of schedule), take some time to memorialize Solo after his life was taken from him by Tenacity, plus discuss the effect of Doublelift’s perspective and content on the team as a whole. Cole and Jordan are chomping at the bit to get further into this split to see what this team is really made of, but for now they are satisf...2023-02-071h 14

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastFamiliar Start for the Unfamiliar Thieves - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 1 RecapThe more things change, the more they stay the same. This new 100T roster is starting the split a lot like the old 100T roster - slowly. Cole and Jordan bring the 100Kids together to explain why we're not overwhelmed, we're not underwhelmed, we're just - whelmed. The dads also talk about the perspective discrepancy that exists between evaluating the two team rookies (Tenacity and Busio), and why the narratives are more similar than different (read: Give Tenacity a freaking chance, yall, dang.) A good discussion ensues about Doublelift's new series "I make an entertaining video explaining what I...2023-01-311h 20

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastInterview with 100T GM JungleJuice (2022 Edition)100Talk welcomes 100 Thieves LCS General Manager Joseph “JungleJuice” Jang for a discussion of his transition to GM during one of the weirdest offseasons ever.

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastLA Thieves 2023 CDL Opening Weekend RecapOn this exciting episode of The COD Job, the dads get together to do what any good CDL fan would - draw sweeping conclusions about teams and players from just one weekend of play. They talk about a thorough drubbing of Vegas Legion and coming within 2 seconds of beating FaZe 3-1, and the positive discrepancy between LAT’s stats and their game results. Cole and Jordan also weigh in on the pace and feel of the game, and discuss how the 2-year game cycle will affect the competitive scene.

The 100Talk dads are as excited as ever to see if their beloved COD boys can go back to back as champs. Ahead of qualifiers for Major I, they share their joy at the 100 Thieves Hall of Fame inductions of Kenny and Octane, talk about the (welcome) lack of staff and roster changes for the upcoming season, and have a good time making fun of Simp’s Hypocritical Twitter War II.

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastRIP to Reapered - 100 Thieves LCS Offseason Begins in EarnestIn a sad day for 100 Thieves fans, the org announced the departure of head coach Reapered. Perhaps not surprising to those trying to read the tea leaves about LCS economics, the move is still proving unpopular to fans who enjoyed three straight LCS finals, two trips to Worlds, and one domestic championship. Jordan and Cole give their takes on the move and what it may signal for the rest of the 100T offseason. They also talk about possible roster paths and some general suggestions for what they’d like to see. Other topics include the latest (and greatest) apparel dr...2022-11-081h 19

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastNothing Gold Can Stay - PapaSmithy Exit Pod / 2022 Worlds RecapLooking much better in week 2 of Worlds Groups, 100 Thieves’ invigorated performance still ultimately fell short of getting to Worlds Quarterfinals after a very close loss to RNG and Gen.G’s destruction of a corpse shortly afterwards. The boys finished their 2022 year as members of the Western 1-5 Club, but without much else to smile about. Despite the underperformance being overshadowed by NA’s general impotence on the international stage, 100T quickly reclaimed the headlines by announcing the departure of beloved GM PapaSmithy, whose Twitter statement left a few things to dissect.The 100Talk dads are here to do...2022-10-181h 46

100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast100T and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Worlds (Worlds 2022 Week 1 Recap)Worlds 2022 got off to a very rough start for 100T fans as the Thieves tripped at the starting gate. Dropping a game to CTBC Flying Oyster was NOT how we envisioned our first groups outing to go, and the loss painted reasonable efforts against Gen.G and RNG in a darker light. With all NA teams on the ropes at 0-3, there doesn’t seem to be much hope to go around for fans. Jordan and Cole work out the frustrations of watching a beloved team underperform and puzzle about a course of action that could salvage at least so...2022-10-111h 23

On the menu for this night of potshots are Very Unexpected Game Delays™, the problem with the play-in format, casters and analysts viewing Jojopyun with the rosiest of lenses, Cole's everlasting and effervescent hatred of EU, and even a surprise energy drink release from 100 Thieves scheduled for tomorrow.

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastAnother Quick Finals for 100 Thieves - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Playoffs Finals RecapA weekend with so much promise and opportunity concluded without much ado about anything. 100 Thieves scraped together a gritty win against a less-than-full-strength Evil Geniuses, only to be blown off the rift by (obvious villains how can no one else see this) Cloud9. The 100Talk dads try to piece together their fractured memories of a painful weekend and see if there are any lessons or conclusions that can be drawn from the experience. They also remind everyone that this season is not complete - Worlds looms on the horizon. Will the promise of a meta shift and some well-deserved...2022-09-131h 54

We’re grateful that tough weekends for 100T esports are increasingly rare, but we did indeed endure one as our beloved LCS boys dropped to the loser’s bracket at the hands of a hot (and PRRRROBABLY lucky) C9, and the Valorant squad suffered a similar fate against DRX in Istanbul. Still, losing can be very instructive, and this is a great time to suffer an instructive loss.Jordan and Cole are here to pick up the pieces, and the first task is to figure out what’s broken.

100Talk - 100 Thieves PodcastYou Idiots, You Gave Us Lee Sin - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Playoffs Round 2 Recap100 Thieves has locked in a second consecutive Worlds appearance, their third in five years. This year came courtesy of Team Liquid doing what they usually do against us in playoffs - dragging out the series even though its outcome is already decided. Along the way, we got some incredibly memorable teamfighting, a very sad and heartfelt postgame interview with Bwipo, and a single-game montage of Closer’s Lee Sin highlights that most pros would be happy with as a representation of their entire career. This weekend was a doozy.The dads are always here for you, and th...2022-08-301h 52

100Talk - 100 Thieves Podcast100T Finishes 2nd in Summer Split - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 8 RecapA miraculous thing happened this weekend: 100 Thieves dropped a game to FlyQuest and for once nobody gave a sermon preaching about why this means the team is a fraud. That means Jordan and Cole have less work to do on this end of regular season edition of 100Talk. The dads follow the thread of what we learned through 100T’s super week games and how the Thieves have learned to have a plan after getting punched in the mouth. They talk draft diffing quality opponents and debate which of the Thieves get All-LCS nods. And in light of the re...2022-08-161h 37

The Thieves have been so good for so long that even analysts and pundits are starting to begrudgingly admit it. Truly miraculous times for 100T fans to live through. Jordan and Cole are here to be your spiritual guide through the end of regular season and heading into playoffs where the boys will look to secure a second LCS title and make waves at Worlds.

Good thing the 100 Thieves fanbase is a gnarled and seasoned group that won’t overreact to any uncharacteristically sloppy games, right? Right. The dads lead the family discussion on what admittedly wasn’t the cleanest set of matches from 100T, taking note of the confidence level of this team and the mental benefits of winning games when you’re not at your best. They play the new game “Should We Play It” with some of the new picks the squad brought out against Dignitas and Immortals, and talk a...2022-08-021h 14

The 100Talk dads are forced, however, to acknowledge that there was apparently a game played on Saturday. Cole and Jordan explain why they are not worried about the occasional slip up from the otherwise solid Thieves and why fans should be able to brush off a silly game here and there. They also talk about the emergence of the newest in CS technology, Abbedagge and a surprising Closer Poppy pick that went extremely well. Please buckle up for some...2022-07-191h 14

Jordan and Cole revel in the glory of victory, with their trust in Abbedagge validated (at least for now).

What a foolish attitude. Wait.That’s exactly what has happened with 100 Thieves’ Valorant program.

EG made the Thieves the third victim in a blistering loser’s bracket run of 3-0 victories to claim the org’s first LCS title and to assume the mantle of NA’s new hope, much to our chagrin. The 100Talk dads put themselves together to purge the sadness, discuss ways that we just didn’t play or feel like ourselves, and make predictions about just how long the L...2022-04-261h 33

The dads discuss what this series reveals about our team and pick many bones with the way analysts and casters are discussing 100T and their opponents. Among the conversations are classic hits such as “did they throw or did we win,” “look, Ssumday is incredibly good on Ornn,” and “Abbedagge on TF is a good thing.” New releases include “100T is actually C9’s boogeyman, not LS” and “just how huge...2022-04-191h 46

LCS fans are forced to move on from Regular Season MVP Summit (who went 2/23/5 in his last 4 games against 100T) and to accept a new title favorite in town - 100 Thieves.Jordan and Cole talk about our positioning for our round 2 series against Team Liquid, how the 2 week break will impact the team, how much they care about winning the spring title...2022-04-061h 26

The timing was perfect, as it appears to have shifted the narrative since HOW CAN ANYONE CHOOSE THE TOPLANER THAT WENT 0/8 AGAINST THE OTHER??? However, plans were ultimately foiled by yet another loss to Final Boss Dignitas.As usual, Jordan and...2022-03-291h 27

A thorough defeat of Immortals was followed by yet another chapter in the vaunted series “Make Sure You Stick a Stake In EG’s Heart Or Else They Might Not Be Dead.” Your dads underscore what worked this weekend as 100 Thieves seems to be righting the LCS ship, plus debate the merits of Ssumday’s MVP candidacy (while Closer is seemingly occupying that discussion on other podcasts).

Happily for 100T fans, playoffs is looking good - and there may even be an explanation for the team’s slow spring start.

That’s something we can build on, right??? The 100Talk dads are back to cover what was a pretty decent loss against Team Liquid and an enthusiastic win against CLG. Despite the notable improvements, some questions linger: Do we need more champions in our pools? Are we seeing more of the old 100T problems crop up again? Can Ssumday carry all the time? Where on earth is our bot lane’s potency? Jordan and Cole also review the recent update from PapaSmithy on redd...2022-03-081h 12

In perhaps the most exasperating weekend for 100T fans, the Thieves secured a (relatively) meaningless win against a floundering TSM, a backbreaking loss of could-have-been for C9, and a complete mental lapse against Dignitas. After a round robin that defied all expectations - and not in a good way, fans are left with more questions than answers. The dads try to reasonably assess the issues: Ssumday 1v9, stale drafting, the shocking disintegration of our bot lane, and a Corki flying on autopilot by the name of Abbedagge. They also address calls for roster changes...2022-03-021h 36

After a systematic dismantling of Golden Guardians, 100 Thieves drops its third game of 2022 to everyman squad FlyQuest. 4-2 certainly isn’t a bad record, but it hasn’t stopped 100T fans from behaving as if the sky is falling. The finger seems to be most often pointing at Abbedagge, so the dads dive in to sort out whether blaming him is warranted. They also discuss the perils of objective bounty gold, how alternative comps are flipping games in the meta, and the REAL reason for the loss against FLY - Tricia’s Ikebana Curse....2022-02-221h 35

Fortunately, the bounce-back was real as the boys rallied to dismantle a very talented Evil Geniuses team. The dads spend a lot of time discussing what Ssumday’s excellent form means for the planned 6-man 100T roster and whether we’ll see Tenacity in the LCS this split. They also tackle the Tryndamere pick, Abbedagge’s 40,000 damage Viktor, and tackle a slew of listener takes (mostly about the 6...2022-02-161h 18

With a clean 2-0 and a slow, calculated style, the Thieves look to have shaken off their poor Lock In performance like Jay-Z brushing his shoulder off. Jordan and Cole host a fireside to talk about the team’s adapted strategy and the new Berry buff, plus defend Abbedagge against way-too-early accusations of him being a merely “okay” player.

Dignitas team. The Thieves will have to watch the rest of the tourney from home like us peasants.
