100 Thieves is back. device and rain reunited. JW just knocked FaZe out of BLAST Bounty. Spirit benched chopper and brought back magixx as IGL. And somehow, that's not even half of it. Welcome to 2026.

Pedro, Sam, and Elliott break down every major roster move of the offseason—from 100 Thieves assembling a veteran-rookie hybrid with device, rain, and gla1ve coaching, to Spirit's gamble on magixx as IGL. Then we dig into BLAST Bounty, where some of these new rosters got stress-tested immediately (spoiler: FaZe lost to a Rank 31 team).

We debate whether Astralis going international kills the Danish dynasty, put FaZe's core on the Hot Seat after getting bounced by EYEBALLERS, and ask the real questions: Can rain actually IGL? Will device stay healthy long enough to matter? And what does zweih's revenge tour mean for Spirit?
