After extensive discussions, we\u2019ve mutually agreed to part ways with our CS:GO Head Coach, Kassad. We appreciate his work with the squad over the past few years and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. pic.twitter.com\/PlkpD8Xwtb \u2014 100 Thieves VALORANT (@100T_VAL) April 28, 2020 In a Twitlonger, kassad delved further into details surrounding his decision to leave the team. \u201cI know this came as a suprise to everyone, but the truth is that we have been drifting apart in more ways than one for a while now,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI was personally generally unhappy with our progress and stagnation on the same level ever since the start of the last year.\u201d 100 Thieves from Renegades in October 2019, they managed 2nd place at IEM Beijing, but since, the squad have endured a string of middling performances, and the stagnation in their performance was clear to see from the outside. 2020 has been filled with disappointing results finishing no higher than fifth at both offline and online events.

It\u2019s unclear who 100T has in mind to take over as coach, and they are yet to announce a replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
