100 Thieves and YFP Join Forces on Co-Branded VALORANT Challengers Team for STAGE 3
LOS ANGELES, CA — June 1, 2026 — 100 Thieves today announced a co-branded partnership with YFP (Your Favorite Player) to support a VALORANT Challengers team competing under the "Your Favorite Thieves" banner (YFT). The collaboration brings together one of esports' most recognizable brands with one of North America's rising Esports organization in VALORANT, expanding 100 Thieves' commitment to the VALORANT Challengers scene. The YFT roster for stage 3 consist of:
Jaiden “devy” Mantz - Initiator
Bradley “Muddy” Saephan - Duelist
Ali “stallion” Kadhim - Smokes
David “atlas” Griffiths - Flex/IGL
Damion “XXiF” Cook - Sentinel
Under the partnership, 100 Thieves will lend its brand, creative direction, and fans to amplify the roster throughout Stage 3, while YFP continues to lead the team's day-to-day competition and player development. The two organizations will collaborate on co-branded creative, social amplification, and content built around the players, giving the roster a larger stage and connecting 100 Thieves' community to the next generation of NA VALORANT talent.
The collaboration reflects 100 Thieves' belief in the importance of the Challengers ecosystem as the proving ground for the region's future stars. By backing an established Challengers program rather than building from scratch, 100 Thieves aims to give emerging players greater visibility, support a part of the competitive pipeline that often goes underserved, and strengthen its presence across the broader VALORANT landscape.
"YFP has been one of the brightest lights in NA VALORANT Challengers for years now. Neema has quietly built one of the strongest player-development pipelines in the region, and joining forces with that work is a real win for both sides. Having them in our ecosystem also gives our main roster a dedicated, high-level practice partner, and that kind of consistent competition is invaluable for staying prepared in VCT. Hyped to see this roster compete under the Your Favorite Thieves banner in Stage 3" said Sean Gares, Head of FPS at 100 Thieves.
The Your Favorite Thieves roster will compete throughout NA VALORANT Challengers Stage 3, with co-branded content and social moments rolling out across both organizations' channels. Stay tuned for future updates on YFT and the partnership on 100 Thieves’ and Your Favorite Player’s official social channels.
