100 Thieves has just revealed their new VALORANT roster for the upcoming season, signaling a fresh era with both familiar faces and ambitious new signings.

The organization's announcement today has for sure turned heads in the esports community, as vora takes on in-game leader duties and the rising talent timotino gets the duelist spot.

bang, who previously played for 100 Thieves from 2022 to 2024, is confirmed to return to the team, taking up the Controller role. The new players, alongside with their new headcoach Nbs, will be joining Cryo and Asuna who have been re-signed.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 100 Thieves new VALORANT lineup and what it means for their future.

Major Changes at 100 Thieves

After a difficult 2025 campaign marked by underwhelming results and the expiration of several key contracts, 100 Thieves found themselves facing a full rebuild. With long-term players like Asuna and Cryo initially hitting free agency, many fans were bracing for major changes to the roster. Instead, the org managed to lock down their homegrown stars again and surround them with new leadership and hungry newcomers.

Let’s break down their new roster so far:

Laurynas "Nbs" Kisielius will be joining as their head coach

Why Re-Signing Cryo and Asuna Matters

Bringing back Cryo and Asuna was far from guaranteed after such a turbulent offseason. For 100 Thieves, these two remain the pillars of their franchise and key to maintaining team identity. Cryo’s flexibility between Duelist and Sentinel roles gives tactical options that can adapt to different opponents and strategies, while Asuna, the face of 100T since 2020, will provide stability and a legacy presence even as the roster changes around him.

Their experience and leadership in high-pressure situations will also be crucial as the team navigates a rebuild. By keeping Cryo and Asuna in the mix, 100 Thieves gets to maintain a strong foundation, giving the team both experience and firepower as they head into a new chapter filled with promise and potential.

100T’s Next Chapter

Fans are eager to see how these moves will pay off, especially with fresh voices driving the strategic side of things and new blood in high-impact roles. If Nbs’ coaching vibes with the team and vora can lead a talented core through the chaos of top-tier competitive VALORANT, 100 Thieves could be in for a strong rebound season.

This isn’t just a simple reset for 100 Thieves, it’s a smart move to mix their seasoned talent with fresh faces. The org is going for a roster that brings both experience and new energy, and in VALORANT, that combo can make all the difference when you’re chasing trophies.
