Nadeshot addresses rumors of 100 Thieves\u2019 potential return to Counter-Strike YouTube: 100 Thieves Cast100 Thieves founder and CEO Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag has addressed rumors of a potential return to Counter-Strike for the organization, as anticipation for Counter-Strike 2 ramps up. 100 Thieves do not have a storied history in CS:GO, but they have had teams in the past and many within the organization are clearly fans of the esport, including Nadeshot himself. 100T first entered CS by acquiring the former Immortals lineup in December 2017, a team featuring the likes of Henrique \u2018HEN1\u2019 Teles and Lincoln \u2018fnx\u2019 Lau, before pulling out of the esport entirely just a month later. Then, in October 2019, they picked up the Aussies of Renegades, but once again exited the space a year later, and have not been involved since. With those experiences in mind, Nadeshot has explained that while he loves Counter-Strike, getting back in might not be a feasible possibility any time soon. \u201cI would love to be in Counter-Strike,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now, the state of esports, everything\u2019s so expensive. There\u2019s been rightsizing when it comes to player salaries and the expectation that agents and managers have of what we\u2019re actually willing to pay. So, unless something changes drastically around the economics of what the expectation is from the organizations, I can\u2019t make any guarantees. \u201cCounter-Strike is logistically the hardest game to field a roster in because they travel so much. There are tournaments in Europe and they\u2019ve got to go bootcamp out there, and they\u2019ve got to live out there, and one of the biggest hurdles that we had is that North American CS, a couple of years ago when we got out for the second time, was just in shambles.\u201d Timestamp 25:55 He went on to say that it\u2019s not impossible to see 100T in CS again, if there\u2019s \u201cmore flexibility in the future,\u201d and went on to compare CS:GO to some of the other games in which the organization competes, saying that they made more money from sticker sales than they did in years over a few different leagues that they play in. While Nadeshot was quick to explain that he would never write off the possibility of getting back into the esport, the timing and financials would have to be right to make a move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
