The team is comprised of a set of four experienced players with a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) background, along with teenage gamer Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk. Since winning First Strike North America in 2020, the team has gone through a lot of ups and downs.

On Stage 3 of the Valorant Champions Tour, they came back stronger than before, given the tough competition of some of the top international Valorant rosters. However, after losing to Team Envy, they missed their chance to make it to the Valorant Champions 2021, through VCT circuit points. Now 100 Thieves have to fight in the Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) to make it to the Champions.

100 Thieves focus more on intel and taking aggressive fights, which makes initiator and controller an integral part of their team’s agent composition. Spencer “Hiko” Martin, who is one of the top players in the team, is known for his brilliant Sova and Viper plays.

Hiko has won some critical clutches for the team, and contributed to the success of the team in every match. He has been effective in both the initiator and controller roles.

100 Thieves’ Valorant pro Hiko speaks about the team’s agent composition

Recently, during a VCT post-match press conference, he opened up about the reasoning behind the teams’ triple initiator and double controller agent composition to Pratiti Dhang of Sportskeeda Esports.

Spencer “Hiko” Martin said:

He continued:

Hiko further explained the 100 Thieves’ understanding of Valorant meta by saying:

Hiko added:

Asuna is mostly seen playing the role of duelists like Reyna and Jett during the tournament. Whereas, the rest of the teammates focus on controlling the map and gathering information about the enemies.

However, 100 Thieves’ Hiko believes that his team focuses more on the agent and its abilities than its role assigned by the Riot Games.

Nevertheless, 100 Thieves will have their last opportunity to qualify for Valorant Champions 2021 through VCT Last Chance Qualifiers North America. It will be interesting to see the team’s performance to secure a spot in the Valorant Champions.
