100 Thieves maintained their impressive form at the Esports World Cup 2026 Open Qualifier, defeating NADE convincingly to secure their place in the playoffs. This victory follows their comfortable win against SadFamous in the previous round.
Unlike their previous match where Jack "Gizmy" von Spreckelsen stole the spotlight, this contest showcased a complete team effort from the 100 Thieves roster.
The action kicked off on Mirage, NADE's map selection. 100 Thieves dominated from the opening bell, stringing together ten consecutive round wins that essentially sealed NADE's fate. The momentum never shifted, and 100T cruised to a 13-2 triumph, putting their opponents on the ropes.
On Dust2, 100 Thieves' chosen battleground, they jumped out to a quick 5-0 advantage. NADE showed some resistance, managing to limit the deficit to 8-4 by halftime. The Macedonian squad even clawed back to 8-6, but that marked their closest approach. 100 Thieves regained composure and closed out the map 13-6, clinching the series sweep.
Gizmy topped the scoreboard with 31 eliminations but surprisingly posted the team's lowest rating at 1.22. Nicolai "device" Reedtz matched his in-game leader's firepower with 30 kills while earning the match's highest rating of 1.53.
100 Thieves will return to action tomorrow in the round of 32 at the Esports World Cup 2026 Open Qualifier.
