After 100 Thieves officially announced their acquisition of former Team Kaliber duo Kenny \u201cKenny\u201d Williams and Maurice \u201cFero\u201d Henriquez, fans are desperately trying to work out who is set to join them on the roster. Hitch, who works with OpTic Gaming as a content creator and has close ties to both current and former OpTic CoD players, discussed briefly on stream where he thinks players could end up. When asked if who he believes 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot is targeting, Hitch\u2019s first guess was three time world champion Damon \u201cKarma\u201d Barlow\u201d, and one of the current OpTic members. \u201cI would be very surprised if Damon doesn\u2019t end up on that squad. I\u2019d be very surprised if someone from the current OpTic team doesn\u2019t end up on that squad either.\u201d But Hitch wasn\u2019t entirely certain that 100 Thieves is entirely set on their final two options. He later explained that CompLexity player Brandon \u201cDashy\u201d Otell and Rise Nation\u2019s Thomas \u201cTJHaLy\u201d Haly may also be on his radar. \u201cI think that [Nadeshot] is 100% going to go after Damon, he\u2019s openly talked about going after the OpTic guys, so we\u2019ll see what happens with that. I think he\u2019s going to go after Dashy, he\u2019s going to see what happens with [TJHaLy].\u201d Interestingly, Hitch appears to rule out Rise Nation\u2019s Peirce \u201cGunless\u201d Hillman and Matt \u201cFormaL\u201d Piper as potential 100 Thieves players, saying: \u201cThe rumor I heard is that Gunless and FormaL have signed some pretty intense contracts \u2013 just literally, straight rumors \u2013 I\u2019ve heard those are two people you can\u2019t really go after.\u201d Finally, Hitch makes sure that no one gets too ahead of themselves, reminding us that he has \u201cno inside scoop or anything\u201d, even predicting this very article. Nadeshot did say when they announced both Kenny and Fero that they wanted to get ahead of the all the rumors and speculation, so it could be that the next two players will be announced sooner rather than later. In the case of both Dashy and TJHaLy, whom Hitch highlighted, there is already speculation that TJHaLy is a free agent, while Dashy is under contract with compLexity. However, with two young and relatively inexperienced players on the roster already, 100 Thieves will be keen to have someone with more years under the belt at the professional level, and that means all signs point to Karma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic Gaming\u2019s Hitch Speculates on Potential Roster Moves for OpTic, 100 Thieves and More OpTic Gaming member Davis \u201cHitch\u201d Edwards has given his thoughts on the rumors and speculation surrounding the ongoing Call of Duty roster mania, with hints at OpTic and 100 Thieves rosters.
