In a groundbreaking move, 100 Thieves has bolstered its ranks with the addition of Timothée ‘Timotino’ Lavigne Dupont and Jordan ‘vora’ Pulwer, marking a significant shift as the 2026 VCT season approaches. Known for their prowess in competitive gaming, these athletes are set to bring fresh energy to the team. Alongside them, Laurynas ‘Nbs’ Kisielius and Erik ‘d00mbr0s’ Sandgren join the coaching staff, promising to reshape 100 Thieves’ strategic landscape.
New Signings and Management Shifts
Reports suggest that both Timotino and vora have transitioned from competing with several tier-two teams in North America to joining the ranks of TSM. Their tenure at TSM was marked by a tough Challengers season, yet they managed to secure a commendable second place at VCT Ascension Americas. However, following these events, TSM announced its departure from the VALORANT esports scene.
For their inaugural tier-one season, Timotino will continue to excel in the duelist role, while vora steps into the responsibility of scan in-game leader (IGL). “The voice. Scan IGL. Welcome to 100 Thieves, vora,” 100T shared in a recent announcement.
Notably, 100 Thieves’ new Head Coach, Nbs, also brings experience from the former TSM roster. Nbs gained significant recognition at Acend, the first organization to clinch the VALORANT Champions trophy in 2021. Meanwhile, Assistant Coach d00mbr0s has an extensive history with tier-one teams, including FunPlus Phoenix and top VCT EMEA teams like NAVI and Fnatic.
100 Thieves Rostermania Continues
Following a challenging year without qualifying for any global VCT events, 100 Thieves is keen on redefining its strategy. The organization has introduced several roster changes during the off-season. Veteran players such as Drew ‘Kess’ Lee and former Head Coach Anthony ‘Zikz’ Gray were released, followed by the departure of players Alexander ‘Zander’ Dituri and Daniel ‘eeiu’ Vucenovic.
Only Peter ‘Asuna’ Mazuryk and Matthew Dylan ‘Cryo’ Panganiban have re-signed with 100 Thieves for next year’s VCT season. Speculation surrounds the final spot on the roster, rumored to be filled by former 100T member and ex-Sentinels player, Sean ‘bang’ Bezerra. However, the official announcement of the fifth player remains pending.
