Four years ago, I joined
@100Thieves
as the LCS Head Coach. Losing my passion for League of Legends, but wanting to continue coaching - I decided to transition to Valorant.
Two years of grinding and one World Championship later, I now return as the Head Coach of 100T Valorant!โฆ
Does EG know they are in franchising?
EG is rated at the bottom of all franchised teams.
EG wonโt make playoffs.
EG wonโt make Masters.
EG wonโt do well at Champions.
We defied all of these expectations and are now your
#VALORANTChampions

For those interested in the impact of Arcane on League
Play rate stats from last patch to now:
Jayce (3.8% -> 13.7%)
Vi (4.2% -> 10.8%)
Jinx (11.2% -> 16.2%)
%'s are based on how many matches contain the champ
Regardless of the result, I am so proud of my guys for putting in so much work this split and improving so quickly. This is just the beginning for our team, next split will be ours.
#TSM
This was an easy decision for me to make. From my first conversation with
@PapaSmithy
, I felt that we were on the same page and we knew what had to be done to build something great. I'm happy this announcement is finally out, let's run it up!
#100T
Welcome
@Zikzlol
, our new League of Legends Head Coach!
Zikz is one of the most well-respected coaches in the scene, earning 2x LCS Championship titles & a 2nd place at MSI. We're so excited to bring his experience to 100 Thieves & look forward to building 2020 with him!
#100T
Insane growth and adaptation throughout the series from us. I'm so happy to be part of this team and am excited for finals! This split will be ours.
#TSM
Thankful for the opportunity with
@100Thieves
. I will miss everyone I worked with during my time there dearly and am sad things ended this way. As for the future, I'm not sure what it holds yet and if it's time for me to take a break or not, but I will be fielding offers. LFT
Definitely not the move that any of us, even myself, expected, but it's the move that makes the most sense for me in my future. Excited to go on this new journey with
@TSM
. I hope you continue to support me in this transition. Thanks to all of the CLG fans for a great 5 years. <3
Honestly I'm really grateful for the opportunity I was given on
@TSM
. I learned so much from being given the chance to start fresh - which was a first for my career. These guys made it the easiest I could ever imagine it to be. I'll miss you guys.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about
@aphromoo
. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
We have shown promise, but the whole team is not happy with the result. We will come back and improve from this spot, Iโm not worried. This team has the potential to be the best and we will do anything in our power to get to that level.
Thanks for the support, we will be back.
Officially announcing that after 8 years of nonstop coaching in the LCS, that I'll be taking a break for a split. I have loved every second of the grind, but with everything going on, a break is what makes the most sense for me right now to be able to get back on top.
It's so hard for teams to maintain form after a big tourney win - expectations for the team raise internally and externally and it's not easy to overcome.
This loss for
@Sentinels
is going to be rough on them mentally, esp in this format where they may miss out on playoffs.

I can't wait to work hard and defy expectations with my new brothers in arms. Next month we will be flying to Europe to prepare for next season. Everyone at 100T is committed to making sure this team will go far. 2020 will be ours.
#100T
Weโre saying farewell to
@Zikzlol
, one of the absolute Geniuses behind our World Champs run. Thank you for all the hard work you devoted to coaching Champions.
With another trophy under your belt, we know youโre onto great thingsโwishing you the best of luck!
Announcing that I'll be looking for a team for 2022! I'm primarily looking for a Head Coach position, but I am open to other opportunities.
Achievements:
๐ฅ2nd Place MSI 2016
๐2x NALCS Champion
๐ 10x Top 4 regular season
Super excited to work with
@MeteosLoL
, one of the old guard that I haven't yet had the pleasure of working with. I have so much respect for what he's achieved so far in his career and truly believe he's going to be an amazing player for us in 2020.
#100T
LMAO shoutout
@777eeiu
for calling a perfect midround while boosty is talking to the ref &
@Boostio
having the selflessness to run it down for the boys
So fucking ecstatic to finally bring
@Boostio
to 100T to round out our roster. No other person in the world I'd want other than him to help lead this group.
2024 is about to be a movie
These guys are actually the GOATs.
GOAT of IGL:
@Boostio
Insane calling and reads all tournament long, lead our team to by far the highest attack win rate in all of playoffs.
GOAT of AIM:
@Demon1___
His stats speak for themselves, man is fucking insane mechanically. By farโฆ
Farewell
@aphromoo
, it's been a great three years working with one of my best friends I'll ever have in life. I've learned a lot from you in my time here and I'll always remember the experiences we've gone through together. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
Lillia as a champ release is too funny man. I feel like half of the community doesn't even know she exists because as soon as she was released, it was all about hyping up Yone HAHA
I am now multi-game coaching talent!
I've been working with the team for about a week now and have big aspirations for my Valorant transition. Stoked for this team to be the first group of guys I work with going into the future. We're going to achieve big things!
#NRGFam
Before remake, 1k gold lead, first blood and top dove on stacked wave. Bot stacking wave with dive opportunity after. According to the rulebook, a full remade draft is correct, with an exception made if the teams both agree to keep same draft. We asked to retain, IMT said remake.
We finished our two week boot camp yesterday and I'm already wishing there was more practice... I'm really excited to spend the next year working hard with everyone on
@TSM
. We will go far in 2019, I promise.
Proud of us for evolving to be more confident and aggressive throughout the series. More stage experience with this style and we will be insane.
We play Sentinels on the 19th, see you then.
With EG having one map loss in their series, we've locked playoffs. Two more regular season matches on our horizon over the next two weeks and I'm stoked to get more reps on stage to prepare.
Match tomorrow vs KRU, see you then!
#VCTAmericas
All good, this is just the beginning.
Good experience for this five to see how it feels playing on stage.
Trust the process, we will be insane for VCT.
Everyone's flying in today for practice in person, we'll have about a week left of prep before we fly out to Japan for Red Bull Home Grounds.
Excited to show everyone this new version of
@100Thieves
Valorant!
Now that the tournament is over, some of us will be taking a small trip to Kyoto. The view is amazing.
I love Japan ๐ฏ๐ต

Despite the sad news, we have to always be looking to move forward and work harder than before. I'm thrilled to have the pleasure to work with
@CLGReignover
and
@Biofrostlol
! CLG has won two championships with two different rosters, and it's time for a third.

With my announcement finally out, I'm so happy to be returning to Japan for our first tournament as a team! ๐ฅฒ

@100Thieves
will be joining us in Tokyo for Red Bull Home Ground. Will they be able to reclaim their throne?
Tokyo, November 3 - 5, 2023.
Took a risk playing a harder to execute comp and don't regret it at all. We will execute better next time. Good progress from the team this week in stepping up the aggression.
#TSM
I enjoyed our first tourney a ton and was happy to accomplish our goals getting the boys to be comfortable being loose and pushing our limits together. Obviously, that will come with mistakes and thatโs okay. We showed crazy progress throughout the little time we had to prep,โฆ
Gg to
@NRGgg

Glad to close out the split on a confident win with only a week and a half remaining. Our team is in an insane form coming into playoffs.
Love my guys
@Demon1___
and
@ethanarnold
0-2 to
@Sentinels
, a lot for us to look back on going into next week. Those guys are solid and in insane form, definitely the team to beat.
See you guys next week, we play vs G2.
The only positive right now is that we still have time before playing gauntlet. Our play and prep were not good enough today, but we have multiple weeks to right this wrong.
#TSM
First win on the board vs G2!
Couldnโt be more proud of the guys to all individually show up so confident today and play lights out.
Our team took no off day this week to make sure we took the right steps to improve after our SEN match and it showed.
Everyone on this team is so insane, crazy to think we were 1-4 in the regular season and are now in Grand Finals of Masters Tokyo.
Also insane props to
@CigaretteS_Kla
for playing with so much confidence. Crazy good substitute and had so much impact throughout the series.
As my contract is ending with NRG, they've allowed me to explore other opportunities as an unrestricted F/A.
These last 6 months have reaffirmed that I can and will become one of the best coaches in Valorant.

@Cloud9
, crazy performance from us.
So many insane rounds from us, even winning a round where our player jump entried with no mouse.
We are getting better every day, keep trusting the process.
My birthday is on the day that CLG plays vs TSM this weekend, going to be there to support the team. Going to be a big change of pace watching from the crowd...
WORLD CHAMPION
@gsmVoiD
Guy has too good of a mindset and is always top percent of every game he plays. His skillset is too OP for this tourney
MY GOAT
Super proud of the run we had, this team made up of 4 people with almost no stage experience made it to the Grand Finals of an international LAN and had fun while doing it.
We exit as the second best team in the world.
#VALORANTMasters
I previously worked with Dan on NRG in 2022 and I can say with confidence he is one of the most criminally underrated players of all time. This year is finally his time to shine. Stoked to have him ๐ช
GG 1-2 to
@KRUesports
.
These guys had an insanely solid defense compared to our attack. Much to learn from this series to improve our defaulting and team play.
It goes without saying that we've taken a nose dive and are not playing to our standard. We're doing everything we can to improve it and become the strongest we can be in the coming weeks.
