100 Thieves Wins FiRe Last Chance and Secures a Spot at Singapore Major

100 Thieves won the FiRe Last Chance tournament held in Buenos Aires. In the final, the team beat Wildcard 2-0, completing five matches without losing a single map throughout the event. With the win, the team climbed to 18th place in the European VRS rankings and took the region's last slot, earning the right to compete in Stage 1 of the Singapore Major. This spot was secured after HOTU finished second at the GLuck Moscow Cyber Games.

This means the North American organization will play in a Counter-Strike Major tournament for the first time. The team had qualified for the ELEAGUE Boston Major in 2018 with the ex-Immortals roster, but was removed from the event due to visa issues.

The score on Cache was closer than the final result suggested. On the CT side, 100 Thieves took a 9-3 lead, but after a 5-2 advantage in the pistol round, they gave up the edge and let Wildcard back into the match. The team saved the map point twice and closed out the map in overtime with a tense 1v1 duel, winning with three seconds left on the bomb. On Dust2, they played a more comfortable game. With 17 wins and only 1 loss over the last three months, the team built up a 4-8 advantage on the T side and finished the map with a 5-0 run.
