ġ00 Thieves began the 2020 season with the announcement that PapaSmithy would be joining the team as the new general manager. The team finished the summer split in eighth place and did not qualify for the post–season. A month into the split, the team replaced Soligo with Ryu from the academy roster, and also swapped Ssumday with FakeGod, as LCS rules required at least 3 North American residents on the starting roster. Huhi left the team, and Amazing joined to replace AnDa, who was moved to the academy roster along with Ryu. Partway through the spring split, Huhi was benched in favor or Soligo, but despite attempts at change, the team finished the spring split in dead last, with a 4–14 record, and elected to make additional roster changes for summer. Cody Sun and Rikara opted to leave the team, and they were replaced by Huhi and Bang. In 2019, the team extended top laner Ssumday's contract, while Ryu moved to an assistant position. 100 Thieves finished third in their group with a 2–4 record, and 12th overall, not qualifying for the knockout stage. Shortly after qualifying for the world championship, they replaced Cody Sun with substitute player Rikara. The team was drawn to Group D with Europe's Fnatic, China's Invictus Gaming, and Hong Kong's G-Rex. The team's performance across both splits allowed them to qualify for the 2018 League of Legends World Championship in South Korea as North America's second seed. The team won their first match 3–0 over FlyQuest, before losing 1–3 to Team Liquid in the semi-finals, then losing 2–3 in the third place match to Team SoloMid.
Following this roster move, the team placed third in the regular season with a 10–8 record. īefore the summer split, 100 Thieves traded Meteos to Flyquest, in exchange for their jungler, AnDa. In the best-of-five "relay race" finals, the team lost their game against Fnatic, contributing to North America's combined 1–3 loss to Europe. Team Liquid, 100 Thieves, and Echo Fox competed against Europe's Fnatic, G2 Esports, and Splyce, going a combined 4–5 in the double round-robin group stage with 100 Thieves with a 1–2 record after a single win against Splyce. The team elected to use substitute player Levi in place of Meteos for the tournament. ġ00 Thieves' second-place finish qualified them for Rift Rivals 2018, an international tournament between the top three spring teams from Europe and North America. The first team they faced in the playoffs was Clutch Gaming, and 100 Thieves won 3–2, moving on to the finals, where they were swept 0–3 by Team Liquid in the finals. Additionally, Aphromoo was voted as MVP of the spring split. The team placed first in the spring split regular season with a 12–6 record, securing a bye into the semifinals.
