The VALORANT 100 Thieves roster continues to lose in VCT NA Challengers One, a week after their 13-0 loss to The Guard and following roster changes. With the overtime loss to Luminosity, 100T's chances of making the playoffs dwindle.
After a grand finale in the Knights Arena Monthly Gauntlet in February, where they picked up a 13-0 victory before finally falling to TSM, 100T's new team entered today's matchup with excitement. P> 
That momentum, however, stopped on the first map, 100T's personal favorite Split. Their attacking prowess only showed towards the end of the half as they fell early before recovering a few rounds at the end to trail 8-4 at the break. Luminosity split the division 13-9 thanks to TiGG and Mada, who each had over 20 kills and a +10 K/D disparity on the map.
On Fracture, 100T got off to a slow start but recovered quickly with a strong defensive performance to lead 7-5 at halftime. With 27 eliminations on Breach, Bang had his biggest single card performance since joining 100T. Timely eliminations from Ethan and jcStani helped 100T earn a third map with a 13-9 Fracture win.
In the first five rounds of 100T's defensive half, Hiko switched to Viper on Breeze, setting up some fantastic clutches and a total of ten takedowns. He had 15 at halftime but LG produced chances in attack and capitalized on them with quick site catches and effective post-planting settings, tied the game at 6-6 before swapping sides .
The two teams traded rounds until an 11-11 tie was reached, before LG took the lead thanks to a fantastic 2v2 replay by moose and TiGG. Bang delivered two kill entries and a third on LG's replay to send the card to overtime, and 100T returned to A.
Bdog responded to LG's attack soloing a 2v3 post-plant by moving to several holding locations around the map.
100T isn't out of playoff contention, but they'll need some help getting there. They should beat XSET and Evil Geniuses in their last two games, as well as hope that XSET loses to Luminosity. LG now has a 2-1 lead.
