Nadeshot reveals plans for 100 Thieves CS:GO return L: Nadeshot100 Thieves CEO Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag has confirmed that the organization is looking to make a return to CS:GO. Fans of the organization had speculated that a return to CS:GO could be on the cards after Nadeshot announced their intentions to expand into new titles after raising $35 million in Series B funding. With 100 Thieves already having a strong presence in League of Legends\u2019 LCS and Call of Duty\u2019s CWL, as well as housing numerous players in popular battle royale titles Fortnite and Apex Legends, CS:GO would seem the most obvious game for the organization to expand into. In a vlog released on July 18, Nadeshot has now confirmed that 100 Thieves will in fact be looking to move into Valve\u2019s legendary FPS. After walking into a meeting on the organization\u2019s esports expansions, Nadeshot announced: \u201cThis is why I can\u2019t vlog, because nothing we do in here I can ever talk about\u201d, before almost immediately turning to the camera and stating \u201cwe\u2019re getting a CS:GO team.\u201d During a series of clips from the meeting, Rocket League was also mentioned, although it\u2019s less clear whether this is a game the organization has plans to move into or is simply keeping an eye on. (clip starts at 3:55 for mobile viewers) No further details of 100 Thieves\u2019 expansion were revealed, but fans of the organization will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that they intend to move into one of the world\u2019s biggest esports titles. 100 Thieves\u2019 first ill-fated foray into CS:GO came in December 2017, when they signed the Brazillian squad that previously represented Immortals. The project was short-lived, however, as 100 Thieves were ultimately unable to secure visas in time for the ELeague Boston Major that they were due to appear at, and the team departed the organization without ever having played an offline match for them. While it\u2019s unclear at this time how close 100 Thieves might be to actually signing and announcing a CS:GO team or who they might be targeting, one potential candidate could be the current OpTic Gaming line-up that Immortals Gaming Club, who recently acquired OpTic parent company Infinite Esports & Entertainment, are looking to sell. With Immortals needing to part ways with the team due to the conflict with the Immortals-owned MIBR, the timing would seemingly make sense, especially with star player Kristian \u2018k0nfig\u2019 Wienecke recently hinting on Twitter that he at least, and perhaps the rest of the team, have signed new contracts. 100 Thieves recently hired Jacob \u2018Maelk\u2019 Toft-Andersen as VP of Esports, who played a part in building the Danish OpTic line-up in his time as SVP of Operations at Infinite Esports & Entertainment. When asked in an AMA about the possibility of bringing the OpTic CS team over to 100 Thieves, Maelk stated: \u201cIt\u2019s not impossible.\u201d Given Nadeshot\u2019s relationship with OpTic Gaming and the fact that 100 Thieves have worked with Immortals on a CS:GO team transfer in the past, it certainly seems plausible that this could be 100 Thieves\u2019 avenue back into the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
