Alex ‘scuwry’ Scala, Brendan ‘Onmuu’ Pode and Nicholas ‘Vein’ Hobbs are the trifecta of Apex pros the Thieves have signed for their new-look squad.
100 Thieves previously fielded a professional Apex team when the game first came out, but the orgreleased the entire squad back in August of 2019, and temporarily stepped away from the scene.
At the time, they blamed “uncertainty” over the future of Apex as an esport, but it seems those fears now seem to have been done away with.
“Apex Legends has now solidified itself, in my mind, as an IP that will be around for the next decade — if handled properly,” 100T founder and CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag said in the announcement video. “This is a team we know can perform at the highest level consistently, and we’re hoping we can give them the support they need to win even more in the future.”

We still don’t know when the newly minted 100 Thieves Apex Legends team will start competing, but most likely they’ll be joining the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) along with other top-tier NA esports teams.
