One part of the video was dedicated to advertising a magical blue liquid, which the video claimed would turn old and stale merchandise into vibrant new gear that was a lot more fashionable. As for the shots taken at 100 Thieves, there were two moments in the video that poked fun at the org and their superstar CEO Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag. The first was a brief snippet at the beginning of the video taken from an interview Nadeshot gave a while back about the significance of his org\u2019s name, which Liquid turned into a parody interview about the deeper meaning of the words \u201cApril Fools\u201d The second moment came when someone in the video washed a 100 Thieves jersey in the magical blue liquid, turning into one of the shirts from Liquid\u2019s new merchandise, essentially claiming that their gear was a lot more fresh than their rival\u2019s.
