100 Thieves has entered Valorant Game Changers, announcing its new roster starring the organisation’s Twitch streamer, Lydia ‘lidyuh’ Wilson.
The organisation picked up Frog Womp’s roster to compete in Game Changers North America Stage 2, which began last week.
100 Thieves will aim to qualify for the Game Changers Championship 2025 in November and face the world’s best all-women teams.
Riot Games formed Valorant Game Changers back in 2021 as a competitive tournament scene for women and other marginalised genders.
As well as North America, the circuit features regional leagues in the rest of the Americas, EMEA, China, and the Pacific, all competing to qualify for the aforementioned championship.
There’s plenty of big names and competition. Petra returned to G2’s VCT Game Changers starting line-up from the bench in EMEA earlier this year.
Lidyuh has been a part of 100 Thieves as a content creator for over a year.
She has previously competed in North America’s Game Changers for other esports organisations in Immortals and Disguised, back in 2022 and 2023.
She returned to competing earlier this year at NA Stage 1 on the team Aussie and Friends, which featured most of her Frog Womp teammates.
The rest of the former Frog Womp roster 100 Thieves has signed is:
- Jasmine ‘Jazzyk1ns’ Manankil
- Jina ‘marceline’ Kim
- Emily ‘melya’ Khan
- Presley ‘Slandy’ Anderson
Abdo ‘c4Lypso’ Agha and Anthony ‘thattree’ Duran have also joined as Head Coach and Assistant Coach, respectively.
The experienced Jazzyk1ns is a standout member of the roster, having competed in Valorant since 2020 for the likes of Cloud9 White and FlyQuest RED.
100 Thieves GC is one of 16 North American teams competing for a $65k (£49k) prize pool and a single place at the Game Changers Championship.
Frog Womp defeated Equinox last week in its first match and, after rebranding to 100 Thieves GC, swept Hakikimori GC 2-0.
After an impressive start, they’ll be up there with Shopify Rebellion Gold as favourites on Valorant betting sites.
Though the team still has a long way to go to qualify for the eight-team Double-Elimination bracket Main Event, which starts September 30th.
“Being a part of 100 Thieves as a creator for the past year and a half has been nothing short of amazing,” said lidyuh in a press release.
“The team and I are so excited to represent such an amazing org and are all so thankful for their dedication to support Game Changers as a whole.
“We can’t wait to show y’all what we’re capable of. I’ve always wanted to prove myself as a competitor, and doing it with this org—where I’ve built so much already—makes it even more meaningful.”
In my seven years of esports writing, I’ve introuduced esports coverage to newspapers, interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry, and driven viewers mad with the puns in my YouTube scripts. I’m most proud of the latter.
