With the eyes of the CS2 community glued to them, 100 Theives have taken another major step to make two additions, Alex “poiii” Nyholm Sundgren and William “sirah” Kjærsgaard, to their line-up ahead of the 2026 CS2 season, having announced their comeback to CS2 Esports in late 2025 and making headlines by signing Havard “rain” Nygaard.
With significant experience in CS esports, 100 Thieves failed to achieve the results desired with the Aussie roster. However, they have declared their intention this time around by signing a top name like Havard “rain” Nygaard and Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander as head coach. Goes without saying that they would be looking to build a championship-winning side and not another mid-table team.
Poiii and Sirah have made a name for themselves playing for lesser-known teams and academy rosters, which has enabled them to come out as top talents. Their performances in the 2nd tier attracted the attention of the big teams before 100 Theives signed them for their new roster.
100 Thieves have had the opportunity to build a roster from scratch, and with a cerebral coach like gla1ve taking charge, along with a highly experienced rain, 100 Thieves have positioned themselves as a tricky side to tackle, even for the top sides coming into the new season.
100 Thieves’ current lineup
- Håvard “rain” Nygaard
- Alex “poiii” Nyholm Sundgren
- William “sirah” Kjærsgaard
- Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander (coach)
Reports have already linked 100 Theives with former Astralis sniper Nicolai “device” Reedtz, and with gla1ve already asserting his confidence in his former teammate, it is only a matter of time before the 4-time Major winner reunites with his former IGL under an exciting new project.
The community has reacted well to 100 Thieves finding a perfect blend of experience and talent with a tactically adept coach. Time will tell if this roster can hit the ground running, but fans should remain patient for this roster to reach the heights we all know they are capable of.
