In a bittersweet update for North American esports fans, 100 Thieves will conclude their journey in the League of Legends Tiered Association (LTA) after the 2025 season. Competing as a Provisional Guest Team, the organization will give it their all in one last run. This marks the end of an era for a team with a storied legacy in League of Legends.
100 Thieves’ Farewell to LTA
After selling their franchise slot back to Riot Games in late 2024, 100 Thieves accepted a one-year agreement to remain in the LTA for 2025. As a Provisional Guest Team, they’ll participate in all league activities and international events but won’t be eligible for the Promotion Tournament at the season’s end. It’s a unique chance for fans to see the team compete one last time in Split 3 of 2025.
A Legacy to Remember
Since bursting onto the scene in 2018, 100 Thieves has been a powerhouse in North American League of Legends. From reaching the LCS Finals in their debut year to clinching the championship title in 2021, their impact is undeniable. They also played a pivotal role in the transition from LCS to LTA in 2025, shaping the future of the region’s esports landscape.
What’s Next for the LTA?
Looking ahead, Riot Games and the LTA plan to onboard a long-term North American partner for the slot starting in 2026. This move aims to ensure a sustainable future for the league. While change is on the horizon, Riot expressed deep gratitude to 100 Thieves and their passionate fanbase for years of dedication.
