100 Thieves Announces 2026 VALORANT Roster Featuring Return of Bang and New Additions Timotino, Vora, D00mbros, and Head Coach NBS
100 Thieves is proud to announce its official roster for the 2026 VALORANT season, featuring the return of Sean “bang” Bezerra, Matthew “Cryocells” Panganiban, and Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk. Joining them are two of North America’s most promising young players, Timothee “Timotino” Dupont and Jordan "vora" Pulwer, alongside newly appointed Head Coach Laurynas “NBS” Kisielius and Assistant Coach Erik "D00mbr0s" Sandgren.
“After our results this year, we took a very long time to reflect on how we’ve delivered as an organization for our VALORANT program,” said Joseph Jang, SVP of Esports, 100 Thieves. “This roster represents the culmination of that effort. This type of roster blend, a mix of proven leadership and untapped potential, is the archetype that we’ve seen time and time again succeed in all esports disciplines and one that we believe will drive long-term success.”
In September, 100 Thieves committed to a comprehensive evaluation and meaningful change across all levels of its VALORANT operations. Today, the organization delivers on that promise with a roster that blends proven championship chemistry with rising talent poised for long-term success.
New Coaching Leadership
Head Coach Laurynas “NBS” Kisielius has joined 100 Thieves as the new head coach. He brings extensive championship-winning pedigree, including a victory with Acend in 2021 at the VALORANT Championship. Nbs has demonstrated his ability to cultivate and develop young talent successfully and alongside him will be Erik "D00mbr0s" Sandgren, a veteran with consistent international success from his tenures at FPX and Fnatic.
Under their guidance, the team will focus on returning 100 Thieves to the forefront of global competition.
A New Chapter
Bang’s return marks a homecoming for one of the most successful players in 100 Thieves VALORANT history. The reunion of Bang, Cryocells, and Asuna restores the core that resulted in our Stage 1 VCT Americas Championship and Top 4 finish at Masters Shanghai in 2024. This trio provides the foundational leadership and experience essential for championship contention in 2026.
Timotino enters the roster following a standout year in the Tier 2 circuit, where he helped lead TSM to a VCT Challengers North America Stage 3 victory and an Ascension Americas Grand Finals appearance. At just 18 years old, his flexible agent pool and raw mechanical skill bring explosive potential to the 100 Thieves lineup.
Joining him is his former teammate, Vora, who will take on in-game leadership duties. Under the mentorship of NBS during his time at TSM, Vora quickly developed into one of the standout fragging IGL’s in the tier 2 scene, attributes that we look forward to in this new era of 100 Thieves VALORANT.
Building championship-caliber teams requires time, patience, and unwavering commitment. The 2026 season represents our commitment to competing for international qualification throughout the year while establishing the foundation necessary for sustained championship contention.
We’re excited to embark on this new journey that will return 100 Thieves to the forefront of VALORANT esports. For future updates and to track the 2026 season, follow 100 Thieves VALORANT on social media.
