100 Thieves enter the VALORANT Game Changers circuit

100 Thieves GC have officially announced their enter into the VALORANT Game Changers circuit in what seems to be a step in the right direction for the GC scene. As one of the most reputable organizations in esports, investing in a competitive roster looking to do damage in VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Game Changers North America Stage 2 will direct even more attention to the GC circuit.

Meet the thieves

Familiar faces in the GC scene team up with rising stars to form 100T GC. Perhaps the most well known name on this roster is Jasmine "Jazzyk1ns" Manankil, notable for her time on Cloud9 White with Shopify Rebellion Gold's Melanie "meL" Capone and Alexis "alexis" Guarrasi, the most successful North American GC roster at the time. After taking some time off in 2024, Jazzyk1ns's veteran presence will become a cornerstone of this newly built roster.

Another familiar name from this roster is AF lidyuh, formerly known as "tupperware". A GC pro at the circuit's inception, she was more notably on Disguised GC which mainly featured hugely popular streamers like Quarterjade and TTV kyedae.

Presley "slandy" Anderson, Jina "marceline" Kim, and Emily "melya" Khan were all also present near the beginning of the GC circuit, but never had a proper chance to prove themselves at the highest level. In particular, Melya has been in peak form earlier this year on YFP X , destroying the competition on the Duelist and Sentinel role. Keeping this level of performance up would propel 100T GC into serious contenders in the NA scene which has been dominated by SR Gold for the past two years.

Big moves for 100T and the GC scene as a whole

100T, recently departing from the League of Legends Championship of the Americas League, would demonstrate to Riot that they remain firmly committed to the VALORANT ecosystem in its entirety with this move into GC. Meanwhile, one of the biggest esports organizations in the world entering the GC circuit evidences its continued growth and appeal, which would likely draw even more well-established organizations into the scene to help it flourish.

To draw more eyes to 100T GC, they would have to fight through the rest of the split and come at least top 2 in the region to make it to the Game Changers Championship, the pinnacle of GC every year.
