Big roster news is stirring in the Valorant scene as reports suggest that 100 Thieves are finalizing a new lineup for the upcoming 2026 season – one that reunites some familiar faces and introduces promising new talent from the recently disbanded TSM roster.
According to multiple reports and leaks from reliable community insiders, Sean “bang” Bezerra is set to return to 100 Thieves, while former TSM players Vora, Timotino, and coach NBS are expected to join the organization ahead of the new VCT season.
Bang returns to 100 Thieves
Bang’s potential return marks a full-circle moment for the American controller player, who originally joined 100 Thieves in 2022 and helped lead the team through multiple VCT playoff runs. After a stint with Sentinels, where he struggled to find consistent footing, the organization reportedly decided to part ways with him at the end of the 2025 season.
Now, it seems Bang is heading back home – rejoining a 100 Thieves roster that is undergoing a major rebuild following another disappointing year in the Americas league.
100 Thieves bringing in TSM talent
The biggest surprise, however, comes from the addition of TSM’s former core. Following TSM’s recent exit from Valorant esports, several of their players have found new homes – and for Vora, Timotino, and coach NBS, that next step appears to be with 100 Thieves.
- Vora – a consistent and aggressive duelist who showed flashes of star potential in the 2025 Ascension circuit.
- Timotino – a reliable initiator who helped TSM reach the Ascension Grand Final earlier this year.
- NBS (coach) – will reportedly lead 100 Thieves’ new project, bringing a Tier 2 coaching background that earned praise for developing young talent.
The rumored move effectively gives 100 Thieves a fresh mix of tier-one experience and rising talent, signaling the start of a long-term rebuilding phase.
Remaining core expected to stay
As for the rest of the lineup, sources suggest that Asuna and Cryocells are expected to remain with 100 Thieves heading into the new season. Despite speculation about possible departures, community insider Akamaru reported that both players are “locked in” and will continue as part of the roster’s starting five.
This would make the rumored 2026 100 Thieves roster as follows:
| Player | Role | Previous Team |
|---|---|---|
| Asuna | Flex / Initiator | 100 Thieves |
| Cryocells | Duelist / Sentinel | 100 Thieves |
| Bang | Controller | Sentinels |
| Vora | Duelist | TSM |
| Timotino | Initiator | TSM |
| NBS | Head Coach | TSM |
Can 100 Thieves finally break through?
The new roster represents a bold shift for 100 Thieves after two consecutive underwhelming seasons. While the addition of Bang and the ex-TSM trio brings potential, the team faces pressure to find synergy quickly against fierce competition from North America’s established rosters.
The decision to retain Asuna and Cryo ensures some continuity, but fans remain skeptical after multiple rebuilds failed to bring results. Still, with fresh leadership and renewed energy, this could be 100 Thieves’ best chance at returning to top-tier contention.
As always, the organization has not made an official statement yet, but with the offseason heating up, an announcement is expected soon.
