At the beginning of our season, our first match ever, inaugural season, 100 Thieves, Spring Split 2018, I told every individual on our roster that \u2018if you beat OpTic Gaming in our first match ever, I\u2019m going to buy you a pair of Yeezy 350 Boosts.\u2019 So has history unfolded, as you guys know, we finished the Split in first place. That first match ever, we defeated OpTic Gaming. I was going to buy the Yeezys with my own money! I was going to buy them, I had no problem doing that! [\u2026] With that being said, I am excited to announce that 100 Thieves has officially partnered with StockX. [\u2026] They were offering to help me deliver the sneakers to the players. [\u2026] We actually finally got the players the sneakers. I\u2019ve never seen the players have that much emotion, I swear to God. When they walked through that door and finally saw the sneakers sitting on the table thanks to StockX, they were so happy and excited.\u201d The partnership between 100 Thieves and StockX certainly makes; the org and Nadeshot are known for their focus on high end merchandising and lifestyle, something which the sneaker distributor can supplement well. \u201cAt the end of the day, what seals the deal, is the sneakers that I\u2019m wearing. Because that\u2019s what\u2019s going to make me look fresh, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to make me feel special, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to make me feel different.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
