100 Thieves latest apparel drop is The Jam Collection. Cole and Jordan go through the new line from 100T piece by piece, analyze the strengths and shortfalls, and express some difficult truths about the direction of the once white-hot brand’s apparel. The dads also hearken back to previous 100T drops and designs and contrast how the current apparel approach differs from what we’ve seen in the recent past. This one is a banger. Listen here.

Roster leaks have hit the interwebs and it appears 100 Thieves is grabbing 4/5 pieces from Golden Guardians. While some of that is great (poggers, for you zoomers), some of it doesn't feel that great (monkaS for you zoomers). Either way, things feel a little...different...this year. Cole and Jordan gather the 100Kids around to have a family council and decide how we feel about it. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro - we are the Golden Guardians now0:04:34 - Ssumday: still our franchise player. Will we actually play around him this time?0:08:01 - Closer: an unexpected move to lock-in an import all-star. How do you justify this move when an import mid is needed?00:14:37 - Damonte: look this segment is really long but it’s what you came to watch, so watch the whole thing.00:47:08 - FBI: making a big bet on what seems likely to be top domestic ADC talent for the foreseeable future.00:53:09 - Huhi: the redemption arc is complete and Huhi returns; what does this mean for Poome?01:02:30 - Trust The Papa: Are we still a “developmental org”? What does that mean when “win now” is clearly non-negotiable?01:09:18 - Journo rivalries (new challenger approaching??) save 100T?

100T places 2nd in the First Strike Closed Qualifier and appears to be an actual Team To Reckon With. Jordan and Cole debate the statement we made as a squad and if we have rivalries developing.

The boys are back. So are your dads.

100T turned in a solid but not earth-shattering first performance as a roster in the First Strike open qualifier and landed in 8th place. Jordan and Cole give a roadmap for the team's progress, parse the meaning of a razor thin win over Moon Racoons (under weird circumstances) and a stinker against TSM, talk about our new hired young guns in Asuna and Dicey, plus bring in everyone's favorite VALORANT caster Simo to give some perspective on how far along 100T's team chemistry is in this short time.

They join forces with amateur LoL scene experts Raafaa (@raafaacasts) and Hyper10sion (@Hyper10sion_) to hear their takes on 100T's success with the squad, the challenges of an unstructured amateur environment, and what the lasting impact of 100X will be on the development of NA talent.

Dear Diary, It’s me - NA Fan. Worlds is finally here. It’s sad that the only team worth cheering for didn’t make it, but during this competition, you know the drill - NA over everything. So yeah, I woke up early to watch some Team Liquid games. They went exactly as I hoped for. Strong victories. All of the analysts got it wrong. Maybe EU isn’t actually that good. Yadda yadda. But instead of feeling optimistic, all I can think of right now is Bug Juice... Jordan and Cole bring back a 2019 series on League of Legends Worlds and update it for the brand new year.
