Heavy one to swallow for 100 Thieves fans! As they just got eliminated from VCT Americas Stage 1 Playoffs, it also means you are right: Masters Toronto is gone. Ouch.
The tweet about their elimination from the VCTAmericas Stage 1 Playoffs, followed by Masters Toronto, hurt like a gut punch. That really stings. There were some hype vibes about the team; sometimes, however, the script just doesn’t go your way.
So what actually went wrong? The honest truth is that it’s tough to say without going back and analyzing their matches in depth, but to say the least, the competition going on in the VCT Americas is brutal. They share the same energy with Sentinels, LOUD, and NRG, who step up to show that they have something to gain. Maybe it’s metas; maybe it’s just about pressure. In any case, early flight departure has been fully booked.
They should have gone because this Toronto Masters promises to be the event of the summer. The best teams from all five regions, crazy crowds, and that gorgeous feel of international rivalry? Missing that? Quite sad.
Look, on the upside, 100 Thieves have bounced back before, and they will do that again. Just maybe, it’s a call for action. Regroup, get new stats, obliterate Stage 2.
For now, though, the focus will be on the squads still in the fight. Who’s going to represent the Americas in Toronto? Strong Sentinels and monster LOUD—this is going to be an absolute wild ride.
As for 100T? Back to the lab. The grind never stops, and neither do the fans. Let’s just hope they turn this L into a lesson.
Oh, and by the way—VCT format? Am I the only one who thinks it needs a change? Sweet, see you at the next match.
