100 Thieves have officially revealed their VALORANT lineup for the 2026 season, marking one of the most significant rebuilds in the organization’s recent history. Returning stalwarts Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk and Matthew “Cryocells” Panganiban will be joined by Sean “Bang” Bezerra, formerly of Sentinels, alongside a promising duo from the disbanded TSM roster: Jordan “vora” Pulwer and Timothée “Timotino” Lavigne Dupont.
To guide this new-look lineup, 100 Thieves also announced the arrival of a new coaching tandem: Laurynas “Nbs” Kisielius and Carl “d00mbr0s” Erik Sandgren, both veterans of championship-level teams in Europe. With NRG just coming off a win with their own European coach in Bonkar, this coaching staff is a new direction for 100 Thieves.

Despite a turbulent 2025 campaign, 100 Thieves chose not to tear the roster down completely. Instead, the organization reaffirmed its belief in the leadership and consistency of Asuna and Cryocells. Asuna—one of the longest-tenured players in North American VALORANT—enters his sixth year with the team, bringing both flexibility and emotional stability to the roster. Cryocells, who joined in the partnership era after his tenure with XSET, remains a vital part of the team’s mechanical backbone and is expected to take on broader responsibilities in flex and support roles.
Keeping this duo provides continuity amid sweeping change. Both players endured multiple roster iterations over the years, and their experience is expected to anchor the new group as it adapts to a fresh structure and coaching philosophy.
One of the headline signings of the offseason is Bang, who joins 100 Thieves after his tenure with Sentinels. Known for his calm decision-making, versatile agent pool, and mid-round leadership, Bang adds much-needed depth to 100T’s tactical execution. During his time with Sentinels, Bang often served as a stabilizing presence across several roles, shifting between Controller and Initiator depending on team needs. For 100 Thieves, he represents both a new voice and a proven performer capable of bridging experience with adaptability.
With Bang’s addition, the team gains not just another playmaker, but also a player who understands the pressures of Tier 1 competition. His ability to slot into hybrid positions gives the coaches flexibility to redefine Asuna and Cryocells’ responsibilities without sacrificing overall cohesion.
The signings of vora, Timotino, and Nbs effectively transplant part of TSM’s 2025 core into a new environment.
Vora, who handled in-game leading duties for TSM, will take on similar responsibilities for 100 Thieves. His analytical mindset and calm leadership complement Bang’s mid-round instincts, giving the team a more structured approach than in previous seasons.
Timotino, meanwhile, enters as a rising duelist talent with strong aim and an aggressive mentality, qualities that should mesh well with Asuna’s experience in fast-paced executes. He has also played in Tier Two North America for teams like QOR in the past ahead of joining TSM during the mid year, and had some of the highest stats during Stage 3 Challengers.

Behind them, Laurynas “Nbs” Kisielius brings a proven record of building cohesive tactical systems, having previously coached Acend to a world championship during VALORANT’s inaugural global season way back in 2021. He continued coaching Acend when they were still in Tier Two during EMEA Challengers but after the organization announced their departure from VALORANT, he jumped across the pond to work with TSM and managed a top two finish, losing 1-3 to ENVY at Ascensions Americas this year.
His assistant coach, Carl “d00mbr0s” Erik Sandgren, reunites with him after years spent refining one of EMEA’s most successful team infrastructures, including a trophy at Masters Copenhagen while coaching FPX when they had a European roster before the era of franchising. He also has coached NAVI and most recently FNATIC before taking a break due to health issues.
Together, the duo are tasked with recalibrating 100 Thieves’ identity, introducing a European-style strategic rigor while allowing North America’s trademark aggression to flourish optimally.
The full 100 Thieves roster for 2026 is now:
The 2025 season was defined by near-misses for 100 Thieves: strong regular-season performances followed by early playoff exits and missed international berths. This new chapter represents both a reset and a statement of intent.
100 Thieves enter 2026 as one of North America’s most intriguing teams: an ambitious blend of Tier Two talent, experienced and imported coaching expertise from EMEA. The organization’s challenge will be to integrate its diverse personalities into a cohesive unit capable of competing with the region’s elite.
