100 Thieves is reportedly dropping its CS:GO team

100 Thieves will reportedly be pulling out of the Counter-Strike Global Offensive scene and dropping its roster just 12 months after signing them.

According to reports from HLTV, the organisation - which is headed by former Call of Duty pro Matthew 'Nadeshot' Haag - will be exiting the CS:GO esports scene for a second time after it dropped its first roster in 2018 due to issues with visas and player conduct. 100 Thieves' current squad was acquired from Oceania team Renegades and found early success, climbing up to fifth in HLTV's world rankings.

However, 2020 has seen the team fail to replicate its early success, and its head coach Chet 'Chet' Singh announced he was leaving earlier this month to join NRG's Valorant squad. 100 Thieves has also invested big in Valorant after picking up former CS:GO stars like Spencer 'Hiko' Martin and Nicholas 'nitr0' Cannella, and it now appears to be prioritising Riot's FPS title over Valve's.
