100 Thieves sign ImAPet

26/5/2020 - 19:05

100 Thieves have announced the signing of former Evil Geniuses coach Chet "⁠Chet⁠" Singh.

The 23-year-old coach joins the Los Angeles-based organization less than two months after he parted ways with Evil Geniuses, where he had been relieved of his role in early April following fundamental disagreements with Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik.

At the end of the month, 100 Thieves went on to announce the departure of their long-serving coach, Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović, after he and the team drifted apart and their progress stagnated throughout 2020.

ImAPet finds a new home in 100 Thieves

Chet's addition will serve as an injection of some fresh blood into the Australian squad for the first time in over a year and a half, since kassad returned in late 2018 and the current lineup was formed with the arrival of Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai and Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas when the squad still represented Renegades.

"Today starts a new chapter in my life. I was teamless in a pretty scary time, where Corona has pretty much limited a lot of CSGO opportunities and opportunities given weren’t exactly what I would call living up to my expectations," Chet said in a Twitlonger.

"Thankfully, I gave it enough time and didn’t sign my life away to Valorant and I was able to find a squad that I have a lot of faith in and they seem to have the same for me, so thank you 100 Thieves for the opportunity to let me jump back into competitive CS."

100 Thieves' roster is now:

Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward
Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage
Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas
Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai

Chet "⁠Chet⁠" Singh (coach)

The new combination will attempt to turn things around after some shaky online results that have seen them place fifth and sixth in the North American divisions of ESL Pro League Season 11 and ESL One: Road to Rio, respectively. They will have a chance to do so in the ongoing DreamHack Masters Spring, whose Group B featuring 100 Thieves, Gen.G, Evil Geniuses, and Cloud9 kicks off on Monday.

The Australians' official debut with Chet will take place on Tuesday at 21:10 in a matchup against Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele's team, followed by a meeting with Cloud9 on Thursday and the new coach's former organization on Friday at the same times.

He won’t, here’s why: Brehze, Cerq, and Ethan are the best players but too beta to be vocal This has caused the power shift to be in the hands of Tarik who has gotten daps cut and now Chet replaced. The team chemistry is now way too toxic. There’s only 1 fix really, and it’s for the main stars (namely brehze) to have to balls to find someone to replace Tarik and Stan. This would be my team in a perfect world - Stan + Alex/Dexter - Tarik + Floppy (prob would never happen tho, I’m willing to bet someone has approached him but either he or C9 declined) -Zews (stupid no brain) +Kassad

No its stan that made imApet leave because they did not have a good relationship he said himself its no secret that he and stan don't get along. Tarik did technically get daps out because he wanted stan in.

2020-05-28 12:56

I think they'll be more consistent and place deep often but they might be like the old Astralis and just choke semifinals, except at every event not just Majors. If jkaem and JKS can get back to their old forms and Liazz shows up a bit more they might snag a trophy or two

2020-05-26 22:02

You said good update so I asked the patch no. Coz I didnt receive any updates for csgo

2020-05-27 06:01

woops

Expected

Nice!

What a downgrade from GOAT Kassad :(

2020-05-26 19:09

haahhahahhaha

Why

good news happy for imapet !

kassad>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Finally

One of the best if not the best NA coach available. Good choice. GL

he was ussles in EG and he wont do anything in 100T. Him and Adren are wannabe coaches

2020-05-26 19:17

6 replies

Yes, EG are playing so much better without him!

they started to suck months before he left

2020-05-26 19:22

I have no idea what you mean. They managed to win ESL One New York with him as a coach, beating Astralis in the final. Also a LOT of other good results.

2020-05-26 19:28

yes because you can do so much as a coach when shitty tarik and snakeislaw still do whatever the fuck they want in game

lol he was great until they do that and lose

2020-05-27 00:40

ye exactly

2020-05-27 01:21

well that came out of nowhere

expected this deal already done in April

2020-05-26 19:07

Lets go Chet!

Wish him luck

2020-05-26 19:08

Makes sense. Although I'd think Kassad was the better coach on the face of things. But you do need to shake things up sometimes and I guess they don't want to make roster changes.

expected, but gl Chet

almost forgot they exist!

good fucking luck, Chet!

Excellent for 100T

Literally expected.

GL CHET AND THE BOYZ!

imapet and andren seems like the sleepiest guys but id assume they bring something to the table.

gratz

liquid should have signed him...

2020-05-26 19:11

They will get Kassad most probably.

should have gotten both imapet as a more analytical coach and kassad for the hype and confidence

he is analytical. Then why doesnt he go there. He was ussles in EG

2020-05-26 19:19

Are you stupid or what. EG was doing fine with him. But that sanekislaw and botarik are not easy to control. Now see their run after he left. Not a single win. You should check your CS knowledge.

2020-05-26 21:44

adren can be our analytical coach

2020-05-27 00:24

Expected. And good signing.

Hope 100t destroys snakesquad EG

2020-05-26 19:12

+1 Ez against Zews who ran MIBadR into the ground and hasnt won with EG

2020-05-27 02:43

Congrats Chet! Expected move, but still a good one!

WHO ?

He will make 100 thieves stronger.

One of the best coach i've ever known :) Cant wait for 100 thieves vs EG :)

Good move

2020-05-26 19:16

shocker

No more 100kriegs . Good luck ..!

-Liazz +Chet EZ Major

Kassad Liquid Kassad Liquid Kassad Liquid

I like it !

imean insane

lol new evil geniuses counter-strat meta

2020-05-26 19:18

Very smart, good for imapet to find a proper team without snakes

Another deadwood player from Daps, this wont end well for 100 Thieves Hope this helps

100T are going downwards anyways, worth a shot to try out a new approach.

Biggest question right now: Where is kassad going? Options: -Liquid

2020-05-26 19:21

POGG

imagine signing a pet

Like going from iphone 11 pro max to oppo 3

HesAPet?

2020-05-26 19:25

"ImAPet" worst nickname in the history of esports

This is like playing the witcher 1 after playing the witcher 3

2020-05-26 19:27

Useless fake coach, looks like a thug about to steal your money Always standing there like a statue lost for words while his team loses, I can see why EG kicked him

Yeah he is the definition of a paycheck stealer

2020-05-26 20:11

+1 just like kuben in VP haha

2020-05-26 21:05

LOL he brought EG all its success they won tournies by counterstrating they started losing cause botislaw and noobik got lazy and made him stop analyzing.

2020-05-27 02:45

no they overused daps stratbook

2020-05-27 03:03

Bad coach Kassad >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ImAPet

2020-05-26 19:29

100t > snake team in few months

wtf all this talks about valorant? it's a shitty game why every NA player so excited about overhyped kids game?

2020-05-26 19:33

game is as shit/good as csgo. overhyped kids game? Valorant isn't fortnite. csgo is also such a shit game

Why u on Csgo forum shit head

imagine thinking csgo as a good game lul

2020-05-27 13:11

2020-05-26 19:35

100Pets sign ImAThief

2020-05-26 19:38

Faze -YnK +Kassad Will probably not happen because of NiKo, but we're allowed to dream.

2020-05-26 19:42

Im a who?

2020-05-26 19:47

Very good choice. I think he is even better than kassad.

2020-05-26 19:48

2020-05-26 19:49

He will make 100t good again Look at EG, turned to shit immediately after they snaked him

2020-05-26 19:55

2020-05-27 02:46

2020-05-26 19:59

2020-05-26 20:18

100T are 2 players away from being a top 10 team

2020-05-26 20:25

100T beats EG everytime now

2020-05-26 20:27

2020-05-26 20:32

2020-05-26 20:34

kassad >> imapet

Not wrong

2020-05-26 21:29

100T could win more if they stay in Aussie.

2020-05-26 20:38

Good pick

2020-05-26 20:39

100t halleluja you saved a good man

2020-05-26 21:04

good coach

2020-05-26 21:07

You're not a washed up loser, so you don't have to try your luck in Valorant. Wish you success in 100T

2020-05-26 21:27

Thank God, the Boys have been running around looking like chickens with their heads cut off with no coach. Hopefully this'll point the squad in the right direction. Welcome, imapet!

2020-05-26 21:47

Unexpected wtf

2020-05-26 21:51

Good news

2020-05-26 22:14

A new perspective. It'll take a bit of time for everyone to get used to eachother but I'm optimistic about the future. Hopefully it yields some positive results!

2020-05-26 23:51

2020-05-26 23:56

2020-05-27 00:15

GL Chet hope you and the boys do great things.

2020-05-27 01:18

Kassad did 3 VOD reviews a year in 100T WTF hahahaha no wonder they stagnated with him. Hope Chet brings some good changes to the team!

2020-05-27 01:38

one of the best news in 2020
