KEEP IT 100 - 100 Thieves’ LCS Spring 2023 Concludes

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 05:17:00 +0000

The 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!

White Hot 100T’s Rocket Doesn’t Stop - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 8 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 03:29:00 +0000

100T 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, CLG. You notice how I didn’t mention Immortals? Turns out you never need to.

With a newfound sense of confidence and killer teamfighting prowess, 100T is positioned for a playoff run. The dads discuss how deep 100T DNA runs and project what will happen in the PapaSmithy revenge series, plus field a heaping helping of listener takes and questions.

It’s 100Talk in rare form - Thieves Nation, let’s ride!

100T Rebounds for Playoffs - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 7 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 04:07:00 +0000

With 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 much of the Nukeduck turnaround is simply a temporary shake up and how much is genuine balm of Gilead. They also whip out the handy dandy foldy sheet to go over scenarios for super week, finding that 2-1 with a win over TSM has us in excellent shape…

Plus, listener takes and questions as usual. Strap in for another #100Talk!

100T Takes the Nukelear Option - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 6 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 04:21:00 +0000

100T 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 the remainder of the season and realize (in real time) that this is a team that is dancing close to catastrophe - will the Nukeduck change be the Bible in the middle to make sure it’s not TOO close???

100T’s Strategy Struggles - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 5 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 04:34:00 +0000

A 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 preseason expectations, while others suggest the blame for the team’s lackluster performance may rest with the veterans. Are we officially on the Department of Transportation’s Bad Teamfighting Team Watchlist? Azael says yes. The dads say…LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

Oh No, Not Again - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 4 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 04:42:00 +0000

An 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!

Doublelift University and the 100T Freshmen - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 3 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 05:12:00 +0000

An 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 in the next few weeks. Are these Thieves for real? Only the dads can tell….

Feeling Strangely Fine - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2023 Week 2 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 04:13:00 +0000

A 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 satisfied answering listener questions, taking liberal sips of the Rip, and getting their esports viewing out of the way before the weekend.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 05:02:00 +0000

The 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 think happened this weekend," and whether 100T's content outsourcing is going to play out positively or negatively.

Oh yeah, and listener takes and questions galore!

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. The dads ask the burning question on all fans’ minds - what will we get content-wise in 2023? Plus, JungleJuice comments on the shift in the player market and what he expects from the stunning combination of rookies and veterans assembled for the new squad. Finally, Cole and Jordan are treated to some memories of JJ’s long tenure with the team, culminating in Ssumday’s Hall of Fame induction.

On 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.

It’s still 2022 but somehow, it’s time for the 2023 CDL season to begin. 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.

RIP to Reapered - 100 Thieves LCS Offseason Begins in Earnest

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 04:40:00 +0000

In 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 drop, and unforgettable Worlds final, and an even more unforgettable trip to Atlanta featuring the dads meeting a big group of 100Kids.

Nothing Gold Can Stay - PapaSmithy Exit Pod / 2022 Worlds Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 04:18:00 +0000

Looking 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 just that. In this episode, Cole and Jordan dedicate the pod to evaluating the PapaSmithy tenure. Checking performance against goals, the dads give their takes on the reasons for the breakup and what its implications are within 100 Thieves as an organization and for the LCS as a whole. They speculate on the future of the program and lay out the limited options in front of us, while paying tribute to both the players (who may soon be leaving) and the staff that made this wonderful 3-split run possible.

It is the most bittersweet of 100Talk episodes. Get your tissues ready.

100T and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Worlds (Worlds 2022 Week 1 Recap)

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 03:31:00 +0000

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 some of the mess that we find ourselves in. Barring a miracle run this weekend and some favors from other teams in the group, it looks like our Worlds journey will end on Sunday and what will surely be an extremely active offseason begins. With that in mind, the dads give their advice for how to best enjoy what could very well be the final three games with the greatest 100T roster ever assembled…

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 03:55:00 +0000

A 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 (but likely brief) time off mean an opportunity for redemption for the 2022 Thieves? All of that and more in this week’s 100Talk.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 03:37:00 +0000

100T’s Revenge Tour 2022 begins now. 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. The dads talk about macro and objective play, weigh in on some debatable draft choices in our favorite segment Should We Play It, and correct the public record on Abbedagge vs. Jensen in our least favorite segment 100Talk Reacts to JLXP. A full charcuterie board of listener takes follows, and so do prophetic predictions for LCS Championship Weekend. Man, woman, and child, does this episode put ‘em in the aisles.

You Idiots, You Gave Us Lee Sin - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Playoffs Round 2 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 05:38:00 +0000

100 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 they dedicate a whopping two hours to observations about draft and playstyles, players on premium picks, the astounding performance of Ssumday on Aatrox, why fans are misinterpreting the results of this weekend’s playoff games, and just how badly 100T will beat C9 next week.

100T Finishes 2nd in Summer Split - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 8 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 03:45:00 +0000

A 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 recent white-hot success of the org’s esports, discuss the winning culture that has been built at the CashApp Compound. Don’t forget - the dads always have time for their children, so listener takes and questions abound. It’s a good time to be a 100T fan, and a good time to 100Talk.

100T in First Place Yet Again - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 7 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 03:45:00 +0000

The glorious win streak continues as 100T turns in another 2-0 weekend, defeating an unpredictable Golden Guardians before avenging a first round robin loss to Cloud 9. 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. Topics of discussion include increased aggression with Riot’s latest patch, recognizing some insane games from the likes of Abbedagge, Huhi, and FBI, and Ssumday’s sudden dark horse candidacy for league MVP. There’s also a good amount of constructing wah wah baby whining about player of the week, regular season awards, and the lack of attention given to the team at a time when they’re smashing. It’s all here in a gift-wrapped episode of 100Talk, sponsored by getthatcreditscoreupbabylikerightnow.com for the love of all things holy don’t use code 100TALK.

Cruising to Another 2-0 - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 6 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 03:23:00 +0000

A 2-0 weekend is a 2-0 weekend, but not all are created equal. 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 about the ways Ssumday is both underappreciated and duly credited by the LCS community. Plus, as always, there are tons of listener takes and questions to go through of varying spice levels. It’s another fun one with Jordan and Cole.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 03:38:00 +0000

The most convincing 100T wins come when ̶n̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ the analysts don’t expect them. The Thieves smoked both the scrappy upstart NA underdog org AND Evil Geniuses this weekend, leading analysts everywhere to finally *checks notes* keep the conversation status quo…

On a serious note, this squad looks to be hitting on all cylinders as we head into the final stretch of the regular season. Jordan and Cole break down how the pieces are all starting to fall into place: high quality drafts, tight gameplay from individual players, and good meta read. The dads also dive into a short but explosive appearance from Closer on the LCS Lounge, and address point by point what the kral had to say. All of this served with the usual heaping helping of listener questions/takes, common sense from Jordan, questionable analysis from Cole, and traditional sports analogies.

100 Thieves opted to extend the LCS break an extra day and come back rested and ready for their Sunday game. 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.

Haters and doubters were out in full force last week, but 100 Thieves rallied for a very convincing 2-0 weekend that included a boring, yet calculated win against TL and a birthday bash for Ssumday against IMT. Jordan and Cole revel in the glory of victory, with their trust in Abbedagge validated (at least for now).

FAST PEEK LAST WEEK - 100T Valorant Is Back and So Are We

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 17 May 2022 02:26:00 +0000

Esports fans tend to believe that as soon as your team loses one significant match, you can blow up the roster, hire new coaches, and immediately see success. What a foolish attitude. Wait.

That’s exactly what has happened with 100 Thieves’ Valorant program. After a flurry of changes that earned the ridicule of the twitteredditsphere, somehow the squad is looking fierce within just a few short weeks of practice and play under their belts. After a very long hiatus, the dads are back to Fast Peek Last Week!

Not-So-Thrilling Conclusion for 100T - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2022 Playoffs Grand Finals Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 03:23:00 +0000

After all of the hype and buildup to the 2022 Spring LCS Finals, 100T fans were rudely awakened to the fact that it’s Danny’s world and we’re just living in it. 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 LCS’ newfound fascination with EG (or should we say their players) will last.

They also work painstakingly through a long list of listener questions and takes tackling draft issues, the loser’s bracket buff, and the familiar refrain of possible roster changes (despite great success in the past 12 months).

It’s been an up-and-down year, 100Kids, but we’ve got a lot to be proud of - and a lot to look forward to.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 03:52:00 +0000

It was a very close series, but ultimately 100T woke up and TL went to sleep as Abbedagge ulted into the enemy base and backdoored the Thieves into the LCS Grand Finals. 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 of an advantage will we have in a stadium full of fans?”

Cole and Jordan also spend extra time with you, the faithful listener, and a whole lot of your takes. It’s what any good father would do, honestly.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 03:31:00 +0000

Despite both dads predicting a #100Win over C9 in round 1 of the LCS playoffs, 100T exceeded expectations with stomps that featured the return of weakside Ssumday, aggressive bot lanes, Viktordagge, and a monstrous, rabid Closer. 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, and as always - fielding listener questions and takes along the way.

It’s another happy game 100Talk, hot and fresh out of the oven.

Smacking Down Summit and C9 - 100 Thieves LCS Spring 2022 Week 8 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 03:30:00 +0000

100 Thieves came through big time this weekend, shutting the door on TSM's playoff hopes and delivering a customary thorough defeat of a sizzling hot C9 squad (as has been done in past splits). 100Talk had its most visible moment in LCS with our poll about Ssumday vs Closer as our MVP representative hitting the broadcast twice. 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 Cole debate whether weird losses matter. They also revel in the reform the staff has worked with the players to get this 100T squad humming at the perfect time in the season and make predictions for how the upcoming playoff weekend will go for the team. As we've said in podcasts of yore: it's a good time to be rooting for the Thieves.

Highly entertaining League of Legends was played this weekend by 100T. Running wild on the rift are Ssumday, Abbedagge, and objective bounties. 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).

Having been the beneficiary of the Golden Guardians Gives 503(c)(3) public charity, 100 Thieves now enjoys sole possession of 3rd place in the LCS standings after what is recorded by the impartial historians as a 2-0 weekend. Happily for 100T fans, playoffs is looking good - and there may even be an explanation for the team’s slow spring start. Mithy revealed in an interview that the org granted its players a more relaxed schedule as they recharged after a long grind for 2021 postseason. The dads debate whether this truly explains our performance and whether it’s ultimately a good decision in the long view of winning another LCS title. They also tackle listener takes, rejoice in the bans of the weekend, and put the 6-man roster legend to bed for good.

For the first time in forever - a weekend of 100T performing in line with expectations. 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 reddit on Tenacity & The Long-Rumored 6-Man Roster and lay out what it does and does not tell us.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 04:43:00 +0000

The Spring of Perplexity abides. 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, the importance of the next couple of weekends, and even a hypothesis of behind-the-scenes issues.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 04:53:00 +0000

The Spring of Perplexity abides. 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.

What could have been an excellent 2nd week of 100 Thieves LCS unfortunately got a big ugly black eye when the squad threw a lead and dropped a game to the questionable Immortals. 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.

Rumors of 100T’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The champs entered the 2022 spring split as underdogs to TL and came out…overdogs. 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.

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 06:12:00 +0000

Defying all predictions, expectations, and logic, 100 Thieves were promptly bounced from the LCS Lock In tournament in quarterfinals by a scrappy(???) Dignitas team. The Thieves will have to watch the rest of the tourney from home like us peasants. Despite very strong showings against some teams during the group stage, it seems there is much rust to be shaken off. The dads get together to talk about whether 100T is doing justice to their 6-man roster concept, what we learned about Ssumday and Tenacity, what’s going on with Abbedagge, and why we may need a different drafting approach for the bot lane. Plus, they answer a record number of listener questions and takes. ARE WE IN SHAMBLES PEOPLE??? Maybe. We’ll have to wait a couple of weeks to really find out.

Time to 100Talk!

An Unexpected Loss and the Tendency to Overreact - 100T LCS Lock In Group Stage Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 18 Jan 2022 05:14:00 +0000

100T’s LCS Lock In started out as planned, but quickly took an unexpected turn with the subbing in of Tenacity and the subsequent destruction at the hands of an anemic FlyQuest squad. If the dads were in a tough position trying to draw any conclusions about the 2022 Thieves before, things just got a lot more complicated. They discuss the merits of Tenacity criticism and the strategy of a 6-man roster, as well as the meaning of a veteran Ssumday presence on a reigning LCS championship team. They also reluctantly play blame game with early missteps and field listener takes (including the return of caster records courtesy of Austin Beck!). 100Talk is already in full swing, so come on down.

100 Thieves 2022 LCS Kickoff Show

The dads are back from basking in the glow of an LCS title and a dominating Worlds victory over EDG. The holiday season gave Jordan and Cole plenty of time to think about the important questions about the upcoming season, like in which fashion 100T will win Worlds. In this pre-Lock-In episode of 100Talk, they break down whether Lock-in will be meaningful for the Thieves and the league as a whole, what the measuring stick for success is during the tournament, and reframing expectations of a winning organization. Plus, a segment in which Cole puzzles over how 100T could not possibly be considered favorites at this moment. Sounds like another fine podcast, so grab a glass of Rip It and take it alllllll in.

2022 LCS Roster + Interview with 100T JungleJuice

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 05:01:00 +0000

Today, the dads just happened to have JungleJuice lined up to interview. They were gifted with the announcement of 100T's 2022 LCS roster and the signing of General Sniper to 100X just before the podcast. Funny how things work sometimes.

With 100T winning the onseason AND (seemingly) the offseason, Jordan and Cole speak with 100T Head of LoL Strategy and Analytics Joseph "JungleJuice" Jang. They ask how the team felt about their Worlds performance, what magic went into a winning LCS season, and the "good problem to have" - an incredible surplus of talent at the developmental level.

100T's Season Comes to an End - 100 Thieves Worlds 2021 Day 5 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 03:58:00 +0000

100 Thieves’ remarkable LCS season has come to a close with a 3-3 finish in the group stage at Worlds, just missing an advance to semifinals. However, as one last parting gift, the squad systematically dismantled EDG to prove that the Thieves should still be seen as an international threat. Jordan and Cole talk about nerves, the growth of the squad over the split and over this tournament, and contextualize a 3-3 against some of the best League of Legends teams on Earth. The dads also weigh in on whether roster moves should be in the team’s plans for 2022, field listener questions and takes, and express their gratitude for the players, staff, and fans that made this the most memorable 100T season we’ve ever had.

It was a great year, 100 Thieves fans. We’ll remember it forever.

Weighed Down by NA's Baggage - 100 Thieves Worlds 2021 Day 3 Recap

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 05:24:00 +0000

After picking up a much-needed win against Detonation FocusMe, 100 Thieves failed to overcome T1 in a crucial group stage match. Now, the squad faces a second round robin where they likely need to go at least 2-1 to have a chance to survive. The dads have a special mid-week meeting to talk about beloved topics such as What The Heck Is Going On With These Drafts and Can We Perform On The Big Stage When It Really Matters. They also observe what appear to be some quite nervous younger players and debate what can be done to finally land a LeBlanc chain. The darkness may be coming. It’s shadow time, buddy. One more run through the group will decide all.

100 Thieves’ 2021 Worlds journey has begun with an expected loss to EDG. Despite an end of game stat sheet that looks pretty bleak, things may not be as they seem. Jordan and Cole explain why they’re not too worried about today’s performance (*cough cough DRAFT cough*) and why despite missing a LOT of MF ults, FBI looked reasonably convincing during his rookie Worlds debut. Along the way, the dads opine on 100T’s meta read, strategy, answer listener questions, and put the proper framing on what was a weird day for fans of our beloved squad.

FAST PEEK LAST WEEK - 100 Thieves' Good Showing Falls Short in Berlin

mightymarg@gmail.com (Cole Isenbarger, Jordan Whicker) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 04:48:00 +0000

100 Thieves’ first international Valorant showing earned a top 4 finish and notched a couple of extremely memorable comeback wins, including one against the world champion team. While a loss in semifinals to a white-hot Envy forces the squad into the Last Chance Qualifiers for Valorant Champions, there’s still much to be proud of for 100T fans. Yet roster and strategy questions remain for some fans whose appetites for championships are insatiable.

From a heart-stopping 12k gold comeback to Ssumday’s continued good form to an FBI search for FBI, there are some real puzzling topics in this week’s pod. The dads go long to predict what will happen during championship weekend and how deep this version of the Thieves can go.
