100 Thieves, also known as Hundred Thieves, is a professional American eSports team, founded by Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag on April 18, 2016.Upon establishment, 100 Thieves signed the Call of Duty team KingPapey in the middle of the Call of Duty World League Relegation Season 1, after they eliminated Call of Duty veterans; Team Kaliber. The team captain is Patrick "ACHES" Price. On May 18, 2016 Nelson left 100 Thieves, calling out the team's lackluster performance. However, he rejoined the team on May 23, 2016 after the team released Johnny and Examples, bringing on Remy to the roster. The entire roster was released on July 7, 2016 after a last place finish in the Call of Duty World League Season 2.
After securing a multi-million dollar investment from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, Nadeshot and 100T were able to obtain a coveted spot within the 2018 League of Legends Championship Series alongside teams such as Team SoloMid, Cloud9, and others, including his former squad – OpTic Gaming.
100 Thieves will field a League of Legends roster starting in 2018 with support from the Cleveland Cavaliers organization, signing Meteos, Ryu, Ssumday and Aphromoo.
On december 12, 2017 100 Thieves sign brasilian Counter Strike: Global Offensive roster with ex-Immortals lineup. However, 100T would expand once again on December 12th with the announcement of the team signing former Immortals players Henrique ‘HEN1’ Teles, Lucas ‘LUCAS1’ Teles, Vito ‘kNgV-‘ Giuseppe, and Lincoln ‘fnx’ Lau, along with Bruno ‘bit’ Lima, previously with Team One.
Ex-Immortals Lineup
This means that KNg, HEN1, LUCAS1, and fnx's contracts with Immortals have been bought out by the 100 Thieves organization. The former also holds true for BIT, who had been benched by TeamOne on the same day as LUCAS1's Facebook announcement in October. His benching was the result of LUCAS1's update regarding the status of their team.
Nadeshot would address the situation in a new YouTube video announcing the team, stating that although the recent circumstances with some of the players were very serious, he believes they deserve another chance within the competitive CS:GO community.
“And so although the events that took place in the last couple months with some of these guys were very, very serious, I just don’t think it should ruin their careers.
I don’t think that they should be ostracized from the CS:GO community, and I think they should be given another opportunity to play at the highest level on the world stage, playing the majors and spots that they earned […] That’s what was important for me in the decision to sign these guys and team up with them permanently.”
Nadeshot's video can be seen above further information but seriously seeing him making all these new moves it surely seems like future looks bright for team.

This Definitely Means That Despite a rocky year for the Brazilian players, they managed to keep their Valve Major Legend status, since they retained three players from the original Immortals lineup that placed second at the PGL Major in July. 100 Thieves will also have its own in-game cosmetic sticker that can be purchased when Valve releases the Boston Major capsules.
The newly formed 100Thieves roster can be seen for the first time in offline competition on Jan. 19 at the ELEAGUE Major: Boston.
