100 Thieves won its opening match against Chaos Esports Club with a dominant 2-0 scoreline. Jks has been crucial to the team’s performance in recent weeks. With a 1.17 rating, the player has stepped up when the occasion demands. Besides Jks, Gratisfaction is also vital with the AWP. The New Zealander is one of the reasons for 100 Thieves’ dominance on maps like Inferno and Vertigo. CS:GO fans can often see him holding off the A bombsite from behind the boxes with the AWP.
100 Thieves will face a resurgent Cloud9 in the Group B Winners’ match. Cloud9 has been on a winning streak and has defeated teams like Gen.G and Yeah Gaming in its recent matches.
