Along with that, Nadeshot gave some hard facts to back his claims. The organization has one of the best CDL teams, which can contend for the championship this year. 100 Thieves also has a stacked roster for Valorant and League of Legends, and both these teams compete well in the NA region.

Other than that, he even slammed fans for calling 100 Thieves, a hoodie organization. Esports fans coined this term especially for Matthew’s squad after many of them believed that the team would rather sell merchandise than compete well in tournaments.

“I mean, look at the moves we have made in League of Legends, Valorant, and Call of Duty, in the last year. How can you argue at this point? How could you say we are a hoodie org?”
