VALORANT - 100 Thieves sign vora and Timotino Ahead of the VCT Americas 2026 Season

100 Thieves are close to finalizing their roster for the 2026 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Americas season. The team had already locked in four of its core players and its coaching staff for the upcoming year. On November 5, the American organization announced the re-signing of its long-time members Matthew "Cryocells" Panganiban and Peter "Asuna" Mazuryk, who will enter their fourth and sixth seasons with the Thieves, respectively.

To round out its lineup, 100 Thieves have decided to go for young blood from the VALORANT Challengers League (VCL) Americas. On Thursday, November 6, the organization officially announced the signing of the TSM duo Jordan "vora" Pulwer and Timothée "Timotino" Lavigne. With these additions, the team has now secured its Duelist duo, Initiator and In-Game Leader, as well as its Flex player for the upcoming campaign.

To guide this new lineup, 100 Thieves have also completed their coaching staff, bringing in Laurynas "Nbs" Kisielius and Erik "d00mbr0s" Sandgren. Much like vora and Timotino, Nbs joins the Thieves from TSM, becoming the third member to make the move together.

Both vora and Timotino spent the 2025 season competing in the VCL, where they experienced a remarkable rise. vora, who joined TSM at the start of the year, initially faced some mixed results, finishing 5–6th during both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Ahead of Stage 3, the roster welcomed Timotino, whose arrival helped push the team to its final form.

In Stage 3, the American organization went on a historic playoff run. After barely qualifying for playoffs and immediately falling into the lower bracket, TSM clawed their way back through the entire bracket to take down Envy 3–1 in the grand final, claiming the Stage 3 title.

That victory earned vora, Timotino, and their teammates a ticket to Ascension, the promotion/relegation tournament between VCT and VCL. After a strong showing, TSM once again met Envy in the grand final — but this time fell short, losing 3–1 and narrowly missing promotion. 100 Thieves, however, have decided to give that story a new ending by signing both players — and their coach — to their 2026 roster. The duo will now have the chance to experience VALORANT Tier 1 for the first time, under the red banner.

With these signings, 100 Thieves hope to return to their 2024 form and move past the struggles of their 2025 season, where the team finished 9–12th at Kickoff, 5–6th in both Stage 1 and Stage 2, and failed to qualify for most of the international events.
