The 100 Thieves organization benefited in several ways from running an amateur team in 2020, but were those benefits big enough to justify the investment and effort? And have they actually seen those benefits materialize in any real way so far, or are the benefits mostly theoretical and future-based?
NOTE: I didn’t discuss Poome in this video, and I should have given the 100T Next program credit for “discovering” him in the Spring split and advancing him into Academy and the LCS team in the Summer.
Rekkles has left Fnatic to join arch-rivals G2 Esports, and he’s clearly motivated by one thing: winning the World Championships. But did he make the right choice? Why not try to build a Worlds-winning team at Fnatic? And does G2 + Rekkles actually have a better shot at Worlds than the 2020 G2 roster?
