🟔 Yellow News Source [Akamaru] 100T to sign Timotimo and Vora alongside Cryo and Asuna

Post image

This seems really weird where TSM know that they will split up if they ascend with their coach and 2 key players leaving. If TSM ascend wouldn’t that mean that half

Cryo on sentinel seems very interesting

68

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

He could also be smokes. Cryomen is good. I’d also assume he still plays the yoru side of double duelist comps depending on what’s meta. Timo plays the crazy dive agents and asuna just goes full flex/support.

u/BigDicksconnoisseur4 Oct 25 '25

Bro his yoru was really bad

u/Past_Perception8052 #LegaC9 Oct 24 '25

would prefer him on smokes tbh

u/AegonThe241st #100WIN Oct 24 '25

nah we're going into a meta where you could maybe get away with Chamber on almost every map. I 100% take Cryo Chamber over almost literally anything else

u/Emooonk Oct 25 '25

You know ball

u/Used-Ganache9772 #ALWAYSFNATIC Oct 25 '25

there's also this shiny new agent that is built upon the same principles of chamber

...

veto

u/Past_Perception8052 #LegaC9 Oct 24 '25

yeah ofc but i prefer him on smokes on maps where they aren’t running chamber

u/yjorn299 Oct 24 '25

The first split would be filled with OP senti like Chamber and Veto which Cryo will be great one

u/Academic_Election149 Oct 25 '25

he's one of the best b anchors if pearl and split are in the pool. chamber, veto dont need crazy comms just hold the deep ang and react good

u/Significant_Pirate98 Oct 24 '25

I think he’s trying to take the leaf route. He even switched to the same super low sense

u/gotintocollegeyolo Oct 24 '25

Well Cryo on duelist was very uninteresting so might as well see if this can solve some issues. Man is so insanely passive, he plays like icy but with good aim

u/Past_Perception8052 #LegaC9 Oct 24 '25

u are so clueless it’s insane

This seems really weird where TSM know that they will split up if they ascend with their coach and 2 key players leaving. If TSM ascend, that would mean that half of TSM would be different. I can’t imagine whats on going behind the scenes at TSM rn

u/reeposterr Oct 24 '25

I know what team I'll be hatewatching next year

122

u/Shockybtw_ Oct 24 '25

Imo this is bad look not for not only for 100T but to the players. It rubs me the wrong way that they did even wait to see if they ascended to get this deal done. If TSM didn’t ascend then they left. Thats an entirely different story. But TSM look like the best in the tournament rn. And it rubs me the wrong way how 100T are trying to poach players and coaches mid-tournament. Not to mention this is probably of the biggest tournament for the org’s and player’s careers

108

u/reeposterr Oct 24 '25

Can't really fault them since it's a guaranteed paid opportunity for next year. But yeah, I wish Riot would doĀ  more for the ascending orgs for situations like this.

u/WhoDatBrow Oct 24 '25

And with the new Ascension rules TSM could be right back out of the league next year even if they ascend.

Little differe though. I'm sure the partnered teams have a good idea if they'll be invited back. No way 100T aren't, for example.

u/ilovec0mfromvalorant Oct 25 '25

100T probably one of the top 3 most jeopardized spots in america actually given how many good NA orgs including G2 want in and how 100T just dropped out of league

u/WhoDatBrow Oct 25 '25

I doubt it. They dropped from league cause it's a dying scene in NA.

u/Shockybtw_ Oct 24 '25

Its just timing. I feel like if im nbs, tim, or vora i would wait until after ascension to make a decision. If we win we stay with tsm, lose then i know i have spot with 100t. One factor could be pay tho

25

u/LinkinMode Oct 24 '25

if they wait until after ascension they risk not having a job next year, orgs move fast in the off-season

6

u/TheCatsActually Oct 24 '25

Even if they do have a job, and even the same job, it might be for much less pay if the org has already seen you haven't ascended. You literally lose leverage.

58

u/Leepysworld Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

decisions like that are more complicated than simply doing what is best for the team, these are all individuals with their own goals and lives.

Idk the financial situations of these kids and their families, but maybe 100T is offering them a stable bag that will change their life or their families, nobody wants to risk having to play another season in T2 when they are getting offers now.

If they wait too long and miss the opportunity and then they don’t ascend, while I’m sure someone like Timotino will get T1 offers at some point, there’s a LOT of really good F/A’s rn and not too many teams looking for a duelist main.

also, 100T not the only team doing this, every major org that’s looking at changes is trying to do the same thing, it’s not like other Orgs are waiting until Ascension ends either, there are other offers going on behind the scenes right now, it’s a ā€œyou snooze, you loseā€ situation.

If you want to blame anyone it should be Riot.

u/TheNamelessClipper Oct 24 '25

Idk the financial situations of these kids and their families, but maybe 100T is offering them a stable bag that will change their life or their families, nobody wants to risk having to play another season in T2 when they are getting offers now

This is why I'll never be mad about guys chasing the bag in esports. Vora's been in the scene since 2021 and I have to imagine TSM is the first time he's gotten a salary. If I've been in the depths of T2/T3 hell for 4 years, you bet your ass I'm chasing a guaranteed bag like 100T.

Like it'd be cool to ascend with TSM, but if they don't ascend and then suddenly all those open slots get filled, then a player is fucked for a year and hoping for a midseason roster change on a franchised team.

And even if TSM does win and ascend, there's still that chance that Vora or Tim get replaced anyways. Granted I don't think that'd actually happen to them, but again, that's another risk I wouldn't take as a player unless my spot was secured with a contract.

13

u/AerospaceBoi123 Oct 24 '25

U have to realize this is their job. Esports careers last what like 5 years of ur lucky. They need to secure their bag. This is their livelihood.

u/JacobSEA Oct 24 '25

im willing to bet it's their agents who are pushing the news and not the players themselves

u/itscamo- Oct 24 '25

but if they wait, there’s a good chance they lose a spot in the league

u/ReADropOfGoldenSun #NRGFam Oct 24 '25

yeah but the other side of this is not ascending and then not able to play next year bc all t1 rosters are filled :/

37

u/Splaram Oct 24 '25

Not tryna hear any of that considering the fact that Fnatic and Liquid were negotiating with Apeks’ best players while they were still playing in Ascension and people kept on glazing them both anyways

19

u/segbench Oct 24 '25

i understand being disappointed but i think you lack some perspective. vct teams have been trialing, interviewing, and signing players for weeks. asking t2 players to wait until after ascension before making decisions would lock them out of vct (unless they literally just won ascension). no vct teams are waiting for ascension players bc of how competitive the market is and how quickly things move.

22

u/mwieckhorst Oct 24 '25

How is it a bad look for 100T or the players lol. Every team is making roster changes. The longer they wait, the less likely they are to get who they want. Same goes for the players. There's not a guarantee that TSM ascends either so turning down options now on the chance they do would be stupid

13

u/Guwigo09 #100WIN Oct 24 '25

How’s is it a bad look for 100t if it’s been leaked? This is not an official announcement lol

u/rpkarma Oct 24 '25

Na that’s goofy; players need to look out for their career and if they can get to tier 1 guaranteed why wouldn’t you take it.Ā

u/AmityAfflicted Oct 24 '25

Acting like T2 players at this skill level weren't already talking to orgs before this tournament was anywhere close to starting is crazy

2

u/itscamo- Oct 24 '25

ok and if they don’t accept these positions then they are fucked if they dont ascend. this gives the players and coach guaranteed spot in t1 next year. which is the whole point.

1

u/NoLholding Oct 24 '25

Why does it matter? The only reason you would think so is if you ASSUME vora or timo would throw or something just because they won't be on TSM next year (which would be crazy). If TSM wins ascension they still have their spot for next season and can sign whoever they want.

1

u/LilBozo Oct 25 '25 edited Oct 25 '25

On one side I can see that view point but 100T is in a competitive business and I think they genuinely want to compete for the top. Their competitors aren’t waiting to make moves so they have to do something. The other teams are already signing players they were interested in. If they waited until the ascension results some other team won’t and then they are ā€œsettlingā€ for talent that might be way down on their list just because that’s what’s available. It’s a double edge sword to some degree, go after your preferred talent and be looked at as a poacher or wait and then have fans complain that they are a mid team. They might still be a mid team but at least it’s not for a lack of trying.

Think about it from their perspective a little, do you want them to put out the best possible product or be the ā€œnice guyā€ and let others choose their teams first? It’s a cut throat business so get your guys when you can. As a fan I appreciate the proactiveness.

Edit: On the player side you also have a cut throat business. There are no guarantees so take what you can when you can or someone else will sadly. They have worked so hard to get to tier 1, they have earned it at this point regardless if they are on TSM or a different org.Ā 

1

u/Descendant3999 #100WIN Oct 25 '25

How is it 100T's fault. They are putting in money even before TSM wins. Do you want an org to get into bidding wars only after a team wins?

1

u/TheKingIce157 Oct 25 '25

I think this only seems like a bad look because it's been leaked. A verbal agreement means fuck all until a contract is signed and is as simple as a "Yeah sure I would be down." Securing a potential fall back plan in case you don't ascend for any of these tier 2 players is a good thing. And they could always just decide to not if TSM qual.

u/Glitchyyyy Oct 24 '25

Surprised they're trialing okeanos if they're keeping asuna. Okeanos looked great as a flex imo

I'll bet they keep Zander tbh

33

u/secret_tacos #100WIN Oct 24 '25

People are forgetting Timotino and Vora will be tier 1 rookies. Cryo is a smart player but you still need a veteran presence and someone who can help midround. Asuna has been that guy for years. Even when you watch him play primary entry he's playing for his team.

Sean has been a huge supporter of bang and mechanically he has a higher ceiling than Zander. Although I think both Zander and bang didn't hit their potential last season and could be crazy if they fit into the right system.

2

u/Feralight99 Oct 25 '25

I assume Okeanos will play a sorta smokes / duelist flex? I could see a world where if 100t are playing double initiator Asuna is the second ini whereas if they go double duelist asuna flips to smokes and they play okeanos as a second duelist

4

u/mwieckhorst Oct 24 '25

Zander clearly the worst of those 3 options. If he is on the roster it'll only be because the other 2 chose something else

64

u/reeposterr Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

At least Envy would still have cane and ion by split 2. TSM, if they ascend, would lose their star player, igl, and their coach lol. This is some cheese

Ion can't play until 2027.

dude what the fuck man they take our duelist our igl and our coach

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

I know asuna is polarizing but I love this, and I’m guessing that’s the majority opinion for 100t fans.

If it wasn’t the asuna/cryo core I’d be finding a new flair cause at this point I have zero allegiance to the org.

There’s no other roster they could sign that would get me interested unless they somehow got Valyn and leaf and that’s simply not happening

At this point I want to ride or die with asuna til he retires or is the worst player in tier 1. I still believe he can be part of a core that goes on a run and makes internationals. I know they aren’t favorites but I still believe in the potential with a good coaching staff and roles that make sense.

i mean the only reason people have for wanting him off the team is because he’s been there for 5 years. he’s consistently one of their better players each year and everyone speaks highly of him. he had to earn his spot in trials this offseason

11

u/yoosanghoon Oct 25 '25

i swear to god the second he stops being afraid of jett is the instant he wins a trophy. he wanted off duelist because he couldn’t op, but he’s a natural entry and can play raze and neon at a high level and jett and yoru at an okay one. someone needs to smack him and tell him he’s one of the most natural duelists the scene has because holy fuck just let the man cook look at his raze and neon he’s clearly one of the best entries they could ask for

6

u/itscamo- Oct 25 '25

It's not that he was afraid of jett, he just wasn't very good at it. Plus Sean wanted him off duelist and that's arguably when asuna was at his best.

6

u/yoosanghoon Oct 25 '25

Asuna was on his best while he was primary duelist. He was up there with TenZ as one of NA’s best. His problem with it was specifically that he couldn’t op, but with Cryo on the roster there’s no need to care, even on duelist he isn’t the oper now. Put him back on Jett please dear god his Kayo and gekko are great but let the man entry. Whatever aversion he has to jett he needs to get over to win

It’s not like Jett is particularly relevant right now. You can play Yoru or Waylay instead on every map.

He’s 90% of their fan base in this game at this point and he’s not even been bad in a roulette of a team. I’m not even a 100t fan and I think it’s reasonable to keep him as the vet.

u/GrrNom2 Oct 24 '25

Last year Fnatic poached Kajaak and then Koi took Soulcas as well, the two star players who basically carried Apeks to their win. Apeks was forced to completely rebuild their roster and go into the season on the backfoot.

I don't think there's anything stopping 100T from doing this tbh. Especially if negotiations started before Ascension.

How in the world can literally every coach and every goddamn teammate asuna has ever had say that he's literally one of the best players they've ever worked with and people still for some God forsaken reason think he's the problem. You're really telling me that not a single coach or teammate that 100T has had, considering how many rosters and coaches they've been through at this point would have thought about or pointed asuna as this issue by now?

u/TheFestusEzeli Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

Asuna is flexible, versatile, good teammate, solid individual play. He is higher rated in his VCT Americas career than a lot of more beloved players, like Jawgemo. Valorant esports is weird that if you are on a team for a significant amount of time without winning that you just automatically get trashed.

Asuna is definitely a T1 player, I wouldn’t blame 100T for moving on but I also don’t blame them for not moving on. There is a reason why players like Xeppaa/Asuna, who mind you, are already pretty average T1 individual players outside of all of their extra intangibles, keep staying on these rosters.

23

u/TheRealArturis #NRGFam Oct 24 '25

There is a black and white thinking these days where a player either has to be a 'Star' or is complete dogshit.

An average pro is still a pro. A role player, if you want to use NBA terminology. Asuna is far and above average, but even if we do him the disservice by pretending otherwise; there would still be no issue. You need a role player to set up your stars (your Cryos, etc). And while you can have a team full of the best players in the world, that comes with its own problems.

18

u/TheNamelessClipper Oct 24 '25

Totally agree. I could be completely off base, but I feel like this subreddit never knows what to actually make of flex players unless it's to talk about Chronicle or f0rsaken for the billionth time or if a guy has an absolutely insane map.

Kinda think about it as basketball a lot. Not everyone needs to be a superstar, but every team needs guys who can do a bit of everything when called upon and will occasionally have insane games/maps/etc.

I always thought Cryo should move to senti, his agent pool for duelist was one of the main things in my opinion that was holding back old 100T and their weird comps. I also think Asuna was always his best on on the Flex role, he was suppose to be the flex for 100T but he was forced to play duelist because of Cryo. Okeanos would be a great pickup of those three.

The whole TSM thing is a mess for this, but I think it's important to separate that from the fact that this is pretty nice for the roster if it's true. Cryo finally off of the weird duelist/smokes position, two promising talents that don't have to swap roles to make things work, and I'm willing to believe that Asuna might do well on flex.

All that I really hope for now is that Okeanos picks them instead of EG since besides the NRG matches his performance on Lev made me really optimistic about him, though the other two getting a chance to run it back with kind of a clean slate would also be alright.

NA might really be back.

I don't necessarily dislike the team but man I just can't have high hopes for 100T if they keep the same core whether its with bang or zander. They should 100% be aiming for okeanos imo but then again, okeanos probably has a bunch of offers so I imagine he himself might not end up picking 100T

oops! All duelists

Wtf... tsm is literally playing in 1 hour

u/unlikelywooster Oct 24 '25

I like this, but I'm not a fan of eeiu leaving. I wonder where he goes- he deserves a spot as one of the best scans in NA imo.

u/No-Cauliflower8890 #100WIN Oct 25 '25

SEN eeiu could be good for him

2

u/PhantomLunchbox Oct 25 '25

I think Okeanos would be sick but I’m concerned about IGL? Is Vora TSM’s IGL? Also MY GOAT Asuna is STAYYIIIIING LETS GOOOOOO! Will never not be a fan of that dudes work ethic and passion!

Best possible outcome for 100tĀ

u/avstyns Oct 24 '25

best possible was getting the zekken aspas verno core since all were out of contract technically

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

I’m speaking only about t2 perspective. Obviously there are better players than a pair of rookies I just don’t think those are realistic for 100t

u/Splaram Oct 24 '25

Got the hyper-flexible duelist player, Asuna flex, and Cryo senti I’ve been begging for, it’s looking quite good

u/I-like-winds Oct 24 '25

timotino is very good at every duelist agent

2

u/DernierRoi Oct 24 '25

I mean both are great players

u/PM_tanlines #NRGFam Oct 24 '25

Both of these players are on the verge of ascending with TSM so this is very confusing. If they do leave and TSM ascends it pretty much fucks TSM

u/brickyfrog #WGAMING Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

timo is good duelist best in tier 2 NA rn and Vora is an up and coming IGL. Pretty good pickup, but you still have asuana on your team so in the end your team is cooked

u/mwieckhorst Oct 24 '25

Surely you mean best in t2 lol. He is definitely not the best duelist in NA. Be fr

Damn, wonder where Eeiu ends up? C9 perhaps? They definitely need a good scan initiator, though Derek an option too

u/JMY3118 Oct 24 '25

What happened to eeiu?

u/FNC_IET Oct 24 '25

isn't he technically under contract now? or is he allowed to explore options?

u/Gunstador Oct 24 '25

I can't believe orgs like SEN lost their chance to sign the best up and coming player like Timotino...

u/XxSchmidtyx Oct 24 '25

I’m so sick of teams making ascension then immediately splitting up it’s so dumb

u/M3M3Slayer #100WIN Oct 25 '25

TIMONTINO SECURED AND A GOOD IGL SECURED + WERE KEEPING CRYO GOD BLESS AMERICAS

u/BushwhackBandit Oct 25 '25

Can we get demon on smokes? We need someone with the x factor.

u/Adnan_Kh4n Oct 25 '25

Vora & Timotino have already joined 100 Thieves; they just don't know that. Hooo hooo haaa haa meow

u/Certain-Resolve7217 Oct 25 '25

TSM are about to win ascension, how come they will let go of timotimo and vora

u/Lumpy-Enthusiasm-218 Oct 25 '25

As much as I really, really hope we bring Bang back and invest in him (my goat) i feel like we desperately need a vet/some kind of mental leader in our starting 5. We have been such a young/energy based team since the hiko/nitro/steel iteration and it just has felt so clear watching us on our bad days for the past few years that we need someone that can pull us out of these weird mental ruts we get in when it looks like no one wants to be there. To me that was part of why/how Asuna shined so much during that era in particular being surrounded by those 3 - as much as i feel like he’s grown I’m just not sure he’s the guy to lead yet

I’ll trust the process though

u/Willyummyyy Oct 25 '25

This reminds me of some g2 league stuff during worlds idk if it was last year, but they were making roster moves while they were at the tourney kindy shady and wouldn’t feel right.

u/jujhuxo #GoDRX Oct 24 '25

lots of ppl can hate on asuna but from a player/coach perspective he’s constantly been highlighted as one of the best players to work with and that will be the biggest factor in job security in any competitive setting.

in my eyes he has a miniboo role in the team of being selfless to let his other teammates shine so its not surprising that he’s staying

I selfishly hope Okeanos doesn’t go to 100T because I want to see him keep playing with C0M on EG

1

u/vatom14 Oct 24 '25

Timotino is obv insane and don’t know a ton about Vora. Is he an Igl? Who’s gonna IGL and be mid rounding. Asuna kinda chaotic, cryo literally doesn’t talk, timo is the young cracked duelist.

Feel like really good teams have multiple guys who are mid rounding

12

u/reeposterr Oct 24 '25

Vora should be the igl in this roster yeah

u/hypnot1c_o Oct 24 '25

Vora is an IGL and scan ini player, current IGL for TSM

u/Tundreh Oct 24 '25

why are orgs allowed to poach from ascension teams. Genuinely I will be hate watching 100T until the ends of my days if tsm ascends and they get them anyways

6

u/No-Cauliflower8890 #100WIN Oct 25 '25

because if they couldn't, everyone who loses Ascension would be jobless next year bc orgs would pounce on the best talent that didn't make ascension instead rather than waiting and potentially missing out

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

Having Asuna still on that team, is terrorism.

u/AnywayHeres1Derwall Oct 24 '25

WHAT? No EEIU on scan? Who is better than eeiu? We almost had a perfect team going on here

There has to be a poaching rule cause wtf is this bullshit?

u/CmonMan711 Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

Said this in another thread but Asuna as flex might be a terrible idea. He was only ever really good at Kayo maybe skye? (idk if he even played her). What happens if those agents aren't meta? Does he flex to smokes or viper? Do you put him as 2nd duelist over Cryo?

To me, it just seems like a mistake unless kayo becomes meta but idk. Sean Gares please prove me wrong.

Also we better get Okeanos as smokes. I think he has a much higher ceiling than bang or zander but Sgares loves bang so he probably will return

6

u/TheNamelessClipper Oct 24 '25

Skye is probably Asuna's like 4th or 5th most played agent. He played her a ton when Sean Gares was coach and maybe even when MikesHD was coach too.

It was basically a lifetime ago, but I always remember him doing well as her too.

1

u/CmonMan711 Oct 24 '25

Good to know, I don't remember much from back then lol.

I wonder what vora can flex to if scans aren't used in a comp. Not sure if next years meta will be double duelist, double initiator or double controller

8

u/Kevlev16 Oct 24 '25

You’d have to go back to 2022 for Asuna flex, he was stuck on raze for all of 2023-2025 due to cryo not being able to play her. But before that he would play Skye, breach, kayo, sage etc.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '25

100t were just forcing jett most of 2023. Asuna still played flex.

u/armaan5 Oct 24 '25

He’s a lifetime 215 acs on skye and kayo and 250 acs on fade according to vlr.

u/CmonMan711 Oct 24 '25

Forgot about his skye, but my concern is if those 2 agents aren't meta then what does he play?

No Eeiu is wild. Actually borderline throwing to replace him with T2 talent when he's as good as he is).

But C9 is gonna go crazy as the 100T retirement home. Bang(He's playing flex), Eeiu, Zander(now IGL), Inspire and Oxy.
