100 Thieves has revealed plans for its Counter-Strike 2 roster as it prepares for the 2026 competitive season.
Since finalising its roster in January, the North American organisation has yet to compete in any tournaments to start climbing the Valve Regional Standings (VRS).
In a video posted on social media, Graham ‘Messioso‘ Pitt, Head of Operations for 100 Thieves’ CS2 division, shared insight into the team’s pre-season preparations. He revealed that the practice began a week later than anticipated due to a content week, during which the team filmed several videos for the the organisation’s YouTube channel.
The revamped 100 Thieves roster will make its debut in the open qualifiers for IEM Atlanta, taking place on February 7th. From there, the top four teams will earn a place in the closed qualifier on February 10th, with the top two teams advancing to the main event in May.
“I see these events as a good opportunity to gauge where we’re at as a team,” said Messioso. “We will need to focus more on the LAN events that will follow.” The team makes its first LAN appearance on February 19th at Roman Imperium Cup V, a 16-team Tier 2 event taking place in Portugal.
Following Roman Imperium Cup V, 100 Thieves will head to Bucharest, Romania, to compete in DraculaN Season 5, another Tier 2 LAN running from February 24th to 28th.
Alongside revealing the organisation’s February plans, Messioso also announced that 100T is in the process of finalising its March and April schedule with the aim to establish itself within a highly competitive Counter-Strike ecosystem.
100 Thieves in 2026
The return of 100 Thieves to Counter-Strike kicked off the organisation’s 2026 season on the front foot, recruiting four-time Major winner Lukas ‘gla1ve‘ Rossander as coach following the end of his playing career.
Outside of Counter-Strike, the organisation has entered a collaboration with Japanese organisation Crazy Raccoon. During the ALGS Year 5 Championship, the two organisations joined forces to compete under the Crazy Thieves banner.
