While the 2021 MSI<\/a> is getting all the attention around the League of Legends<\/a> competitive scene, the roster changes and movements keep happening behind the scenes as the road to the Summer Split gets underway.<\/p>\n

The first of many announcements came with the full reveal of the 100 Thieves’ amateur team for Challengers Uprising, a tournament made to promote new talent aiming for a spot in the LCS or any Academy league.<\/p>\n

\"E1detzKVgAENL_f.jpg:large\" <\/a> 100 Thieves Esports on Twitter<\/span> We’re excited to announce the starting roster for our 100 Thieves Next LoL program moving into Summer 2021.Top: @GamsuLoLJungle: @ChadJungleLoLMid: @youngmidlolADC: @InstincttLoLSupport: @busioclolLook out for them as they take on Challengers Uprising next week! #100T pic.twitter.com\/binx5l1OPd— 100 Thieves Esports (@100T_Esports) May 15, 2021<\/span> 100 Thieves Esports<\/span> Twitter<\/span> <\/a><\/div>\n

The North American team has announced their entire roster, making changes to their top lane and jungle roles and bringing back Noh “Gamsu” Yeong-jin from retirement, the veteran from the NA and EU LCS who will be back to the Summoner’s Rift since his departure in 2016.<\/p>\n

“The amount of hard work Gamsu has had to put in to reach his current level after 5 years away from pro League”, Chris “PapaSmithy” Smith, General Manager for 100T, commented<\/a> on the move.<\/p>\n

Before his initial farewell from LoL Esports, Gamsu was a part of some of the most iconic teams in the international competitive scene, with his time in the LCK in 2013-2014, his move to Dignitas in 2015 and his final performances with Fnatic in 2016.<\/p>\n

Then, he decided to step away from the MOBAs to move onto the Overwatch League playing with Boston Uprising, Dallas Fuel and the Shanghai Dragons, where he came to win its Stage 3 Playoffs in 2019. By the end of 2020, Gamsu made his intentions<\/a> to move back to League of Legends public.<\/p>\n

While many question his reasons to come back to an amateur team instead of a protagonistic LCS squad, the move makes sense as his experience through all those years will do him right when trying to be a mentor to the future of the North American esports, helping to forge the next big players in competitive LoL.<\/p>\n

“It’s insane what he can teach our four young stars about becoming a professional esports player”, PapaSmithy concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
