Breaking News: 100 Thieves is eyeing up talent from SAW, according to a report, potentially shaking up the competitive scene!
Iúri Martins of the Portuguese publication RTP Arena has revealed that 100 Thieves is showing interest in acquiring players from the Portuguese organization SAW. This news comes amidst a flurry of interest in SAW's roster, with organizations like FlyQuest also in the mix, potentially looking to snatch up individual players or even the entire team.
SAW's players have certainly earned the attention. They've had a stellar year, consistently achieving top-eight finishes. But here's where it gets controversial: This success follows a challenging five-month period where they experimented with an international roster, including Jan "cej0t" Dyl and Oscar "AZUWU" Bell.
FlyQuest is reportedly keen on AWPer João "story" Vieira to fill a gap left by Iulian "regali" Harjău. While the specific targets for 100 Thieves remain unconfirmed, the report suggests they might be eyeing António "aragornN" Barbosa, Adones "krazy" Nobre, or André "Ag1l" Gil. Considering 100 Thieves already have an In-Game Leader (IGL) in Håvard "rain" Nygaard and are expected to welcome Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz, it makes sense they'd be looking to bolster their lineup in other key positions.
Adding to the intrigue, 100 Thieves are also reportedly interested in Alex "poiii" Nyholm. However, it seems unlikely they'll acquire enough players to completely rebuild SAW's core. Multiple sources have indicated that SAW is looking to build a new core themselves.
What do you think about this potential roster shuffle? Will 100 Thieves' acquisitions pay off? Do you think SAW will be able to build a new core and maintain their competitive edge? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
