Closer is a second claim is at stake
100 thieves are cimped at the LCS
100 Thieves dominated Team Liquid in a series of 3-0, largely thanks to the performance of Can Closer Çelik in La Jungle, to take home its first League of Legends Championship Series title.
For 100 Thieves, winning the Summer Split of 2021 not only means bringing home a championship to your organization, but also means to redeem your inaugural season as a team in the LCS. After finishing second during the regular season in 2018, Team Liquid devastated 100 Thieves in one of the great fastest finals in history. Now, three years later, 100 Thieves have accepted the challenge and knocked down the Team Liquid in a series that ended almost as fast as the previous one.
While Team Liquid and 100 Thieves are very different from when they were originally fought in the spring of 2018, a constant still remains: Kim Ssumday chan-Ho. SSUMDAY joined 100 Thieves together with the Mid-Lane Yoo Ryu Sang-Wook as the two basic players of the team. Some of the best American talents supported them, including William Meteos Hartman, ZaqueRi Aphromoo Black and Cody Cody Sun Sun. These four other players have passed to different opportunities in the LCS, but Ssumday remains in the upper lane for 100 Thieves as the player's franchise player.
I am very happy to be able to finally get the trophy, Ssumday said in the back of the game. Thank you all, all my colleagues and all the coaches. I'm really happy. I know there are fans and Haters, but the Haters are simply HATERS. The fans have always been behind me and I am really grateful for all who have been behind me.
Ssumday added that the final of three years ago against Team Liquid was not closed, but this time, he played the best he could and showed what he was capable of.
Closer is at stake A second claim
Apart from that SSUMDAY finally brought an LCS title to 100 Thieves, Closer has achieved its own type of success. After winning today, Closer became the first Turkish player to win a title in several regions. Before arriving at NA, Closer won the Major of the 2019 Summer Turkey Championship League in Royal Youth, who classified them for the World Cup that same year.
From the first day I came, to be honest, I was arriving at a pretty bad team, Closer said during a press conference after winning a title of the LCS. But, I just needed some pieces with which to work and then I saw the FBI (Victor Huang) and I thought 'this guy is incredibly good'. Then, fortunately, Jay (Choi Huhi Jae-hyun) was on the same team. We end up creating the pieces and I think we knew we were going to win the LCS.
Others have earned this award before, as players who originated in the League of Legends Champions Korea or League of Legends European Championship, but this is the first time that a smaller region like Turkey can claim such a feat and support a Player like Closer. . And to take that point home, in the three games and two champions, Closer obtained 19 murders, 21 assists and only two deaths in the second game against Team Liquid. He led his team to the first title of the LCS and showed him the entire community of the LCS that he should have won the MVP title of the summer split of 2021.
First a king, now a champion. ????

100 thieves are found in the LCS
Since 2018, when 100 Thieves came to the Grand Final against Team Liquid, the team has gone from being one of the best and worst teams of the League. After finishing 12 ° in the 2018 World Cup, 100 Thieves brought former World Champion Bot LANER BAE BANG Jun-Sik, but could not save the team from a tenth place next spring. The next summer, the thieves continued fighting and only ninth ended.
Although 2020 was better for 100 Thieves, they still were short in both spring and summer during the playoffs and ended up among the last six. It was not until they incorporated the former Golden Guardians list that things began to change for 100 Thieves.
In the spring of 2021, they finished rooms, which was close, but not enough. They needed larger weapons if they wanted to take home an LCS title for their organization. That missing piece turned out to be Felix Abbedagge Braun, who could join from Lec after Ssumday obtained the residence and opened another import space.
This does not feel real. A moment I will never forget. People do not understand how difficult it is to win in electronic sports, so for us to win in such a dominant way, I feel incredibly grateful.
Thanks to our players, coaches, staff and amateurs. This one is for you. https://t.co/7mihaitbxt.

While the players expressed their joy on stage, the CEO of 100 Thieves, Matthew Nadeshot Haag, shared the feelings of him in .. after victory.
This does not feel real, he said. A moment I will never forget. People do not understand how difficult it is to win in electronic sports, so that we win in such a dominant way, I feel incredibly grateful. Thanks to our players, coaches, staff and amateurs. This one is for you.
In the history of the League of Legends of North America, only four teams had raised the trophy before today: Cloud9, CLG, TSM and Team Liquid. But with the victory of 100 Thieves about Team Liquid, they broke the cycle and added another equipment to the short list of national victors.
Now that they have won, 100 Thieves will take their domain to Worlds for the second time in the history of the organization. They will join Cloud9 and Team Liquid, two teams accustomed to attending the world championship, but often in a higher position.
