Recent form

100 Thieves: 1-0 in Stage 1 - swept EG 2-0 with Cryocells posting a 2.07 Breeze rating.

100 Thieves arrive as Group Omega's strongest form team alongside FURIA and KRÜ - their Cryocells, bang, and Asuna 3-player above 1.25 rating collective output the most dominant Week 1 performance of any Group Omega team. Timotino carries a 1.39 rating entering Week 2 - the highest individual baseline of any 100 Thieves player and reflecting a player whose Week 1 output gave 100 Thieves their fourth individual scoring threat alongside their established 3-player carry system.

Sentinels: 0-1 in Stage 1 - lost to KRÜ Esports 0-2 in Week 1.

Sentinels arrive at 0-1 after the opening week's most surprising result - KRÜ's Less and mwzera combination sweeping them on both Lotus and Breeze. johnqt carries a 274 ACS entering Week 2 - the highest individual ACS baseline of any Sentinels player and reflecting an IGL whose individual output goes significantly beyond the tactical contribution role that most IGL ACS stats reflect. johnqt, JonahP, cortezia, Reduxx, and Kyu enter Week 2 with the KRÜ loss film study as their primary preparation focus.

Head-to-head

100 Thieves lead Sentinels 1-0 in 2026 meetings - having won their most recent encounter. The all-time record sits 3-2 in 100 Thieves' favour across their last 5 meetings - a consistent pattern that reflects their historical competitive advantage over Sentinels in recent VCT Americas competition.

What to watch

Johnqt's 274 ACS IGL output vs 100T's 4-player carry system - johnqt's 274 ACS entering Week 2 reflects an IGL whose individual scoring is competitive at the primary carry level - similar to valyn's 307 ACS for G2 in Stage 1 Week 1. 100 Thieves' system - Cryocells at 1.47, bang at 1.38, Asuna at 1.29, and Timotino at 1.39 - gives them the deepest 4-player individual carry system of any Group Omega team. Whether johnqt's IGL individual output combined with Reduxx's 1.28 ceiling can generate enough combined ACS to compete with 100 Thieves' 4-player depth across a full Bo3 is the individual system question this series answers.

Sentinels' KRÜ upset response - Sentinels lost to the opening week's biggest upset - KRÜ Esports sweeping them 2-0 on Lotus and Breeze. Their Week 2 response to that result - against a 100 Thieves team with a 1-0 head-to-head advantage in 2026 and a 3-2 historical record over them - is the mental resilience test that determines whether Sentinels' roster can recover from unexpected losses or whether the KRÜ upset reflects a structural vulnerability that Week 2's stronger opponents will compound.
