Return of 100 Thieves to CS

In November 2025, 100 Thieves announced their return to Counter-Strike after a five-year break. The team is being built around Håvard «rain» Nygaard, who has moved into the captain role, coach Lukas «gla1ve» Rossander and his former Astralis teammate, AWPer Nicolai «device» Reedtz, as well as young players William «sirah» Kjærsgaard, Alex «poiii» Nyholm Sundgren and André «Ag1l» Gil.

This is gla1ve's first time working as a coach, and he is helping rain develop his in-game leadership. The new roster will have to play local LAN tournaments and qualifiers to raise their VRS rating and receive invites.

The entire FPS division of 100 Thieves is overseen by former Cloud9 captain Sean «seang@res» Gares. In the Come Here podcast with Harry «NER0» Richards and Danish «Nohte» Allana he talked about how the team was assembled and what to expect from their debut at Roman Imperium Cup V on February 19–22. The episode is available on YouTube and Spotify.
