100 THIEVES unveil full League of Legends roster for LCS 2024
North American organization 100 Thieves’ full LCS roster for the 2024 season has been revealed. The basis for the roster, according to their announcement, was fueled by ‘youth and hunger.’ This is reflected in the team which appears constructed of mostly rookies and young players.
Time for New Blood
This ethos also falls in line with what “Palafox” had referenced during NRG’s Worlds run this year - that NA had been sending older players internationally who never seemed to improve, but younger players have shown the drive and commitment necessary to make deeper runs internationally for their region.
100 Thieves 2024 LCS Starting Lineup:
- Top Lane: Rayan “Sniper” Shoura
- Jungle: Kim “River” Dong-woo
- Mid Lane: Lim “Quid” Hyeon-seung
- AD Carry: Brandon “Meech” Choi
- Support: Bill “Eyla” Nguyen
High in Potential
The core of the roster for 2024 has been formed around “Sniper” and “Quid”, who are the only two to remain from the 2023 roster. Newcomer “Meech” will see his LCS debut in 2024 , finally emerging into the spotlight after showcasing his talent in the Challenger League.
“Meech” is most well-known in 2023 for his time on Disguised, where he was crowned the NACL Summer Champion. Disguised entered the league mid-way through and ended up as one of the strongest rosters heading into next year. Moreover, “Meech” was a massive part of that.
Long-anticipated rookie “Sniper” will also debut next year in the LCS. Since 2021 he has been slowly grinding through the 100 Thieves ranks. In mid 2023, he made the substitute position on the main roster. At only 17-years-old, NA fans are understandably excited to see potentially a new generation of talent come to the fore.
“River”, current Jungler for Golden Guardians, will also see a move to 100 Thieves for the next season. He was seen as one of the bright spots for the roster in 2023 and one of the best performing players during the regular domestic season.
Lastly, “Eyla”, current Support for Evil Geniuses, has had his talents sought out for 100 Thieves next year. His departure from EG comes off the heels of news that the historic North American organization was undergoing financial turmoil. They have already released their Counter-Strike and Dota 2 rosters, and are reportedly looking for buyers for their LCS slot. Moreover, their Valorant roster has reportedly been left in ‘contract jail’ since their victory at Champions 2023.
Mix of Rookies and Experienced Talent
“Sniper” and “Quid” will be the youngest members of this new roster at only 17 and 19 years of age. “Meech” at 22 is the next youngest. Both “River” and “Eyla” round off the roster at 24.
Since 100 Thieves announced that their 2024 roster would be more ‘budget’ conscious, fans were understandably concerned. However, this new roster appears more promising than initially anticipated.
