NA ADC legend Doublelift had made his rumored return official. The 29-year-old will be joining Bjergsen, Busio, Tenacity and Closer for 2023 LCS season.
100 Thieves official announcement:
Doublelift and Bjergsen join forces once again
Undisputedly top 2 all-time NA greats, ex-TSM teammates Doublelift and Bjergsen have reunited for one last ride as bot and midlaner for 100T. Tenacity and Busio join from their Academy squad as top and support respectively, while Closer holds the jungler position from previous 2022 squad.
100 Thieves 2023 LCS lineup:
- Tenacity (Top)
- Closer (Jungle)
- Bjergsen (Mid)
- Doublelift (Bot)
- Busio (Support)
At first glance this iteration is a perfect blend between veterans and new blood and should be an upgrade from 100T’s previous roster. However, with Doublelift fresh out of retirement and Bjergsen not having a good showing on Team Liquid in 2022, this team might have a bumpy start in 2023.
100 Thieves had a decent year last season. They managed to get 2nd place in both Summer and Spring splits, culminating in a 11-14th finish at Worlds 2022 after failing to get past the group stage. We’ll have to see if this team will measure up to that and how they fare against the new Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid.
