Rumor: 100 Thieves may refuse to cooperate with steel
Ihor MatusUpcommer, citing its own sources, stated that 100 Thieves have interesting plans for their Valorant roster. According to them, ex- CS: GO player Joshua 'steel' Nissan can be relieved of his duties to 100 Thieves, and another cybersportsman will take his place in the team.
Upcommer sources claim that the 100 Thieves are set to perform with a video-modified roster for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021 Last Chance Qualifier, which will differ from the usual appearance of Aaron 'b0i' Tao instead of steel. There is no information on which roster the team will compete in if they enter the Valorant Champions Tour 2021.
It is possible that the shifts in the team were caused by not entirely satisfactory results in the last $ 750,000 championship, VCT 2021 Stage 3 Masters Berlin. There, in the match for reaching the grand final, the team was defeated in a battle against Team Envy with a score of 0-2. This was the reason why Envy made it to the Valorant Champions Tour 2021 - the US-Canadian squad had more VCT points than 100 Thieves.
Joshua 'steel' Nissan joined the 100T last September. During this time, he managed to win the First Strike and VCT 2021 North America Stage 2 Challengers 1, as well as place second in the VCT 2021 North America Stage 1 Challengers 3.
VCT 2021 NA Last Chance Qualifier starts on October 12 and ends on the 17th. The event will be held online. The number of championship participants will be 10 teams, including the following teams: Verison1, FaZe Clan, XSET, Luminosity Gaming, Cloud9 Blue, Gen.G Esports, Rise, ORDER, Chiefs Esports Club and 100 Thieves. A dozen teams will compete for one invitation to each other to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021, which will be held in Berlin from December 2 to 12 at the Riot Games studio.
