The 100 Thieves lineup now consists of Davis “Ceice” McClellan, Hayden “Elevate” Krueger, Gabriel “Kyzui” Harlos, Brandon “Klass” Weaver, Diego “Arkhram” Lima, Brett “Grandma” Squires, and Brendan “Falconer” Falconer, along with MrSavage and Rehx. Many of these players will be based at the newly established 100 Thieves Cash App Compound, where they will practice year-round under the same roof.
The lineup will compete together at DreamHack Anaheim between Feb. 21 – 23, which boasts a $250,000 prize pool up for grabs. The event will start with 400 total players trying to advance to the qualifiers through two initial heats. This will then shrink to 100 players for the grand finals, with eight games that determine who walks away with the trophy.
