The biggest news this week is that 100 Thieves are supposedly set to make their return to CS, and according to Dust2dk, they’ve apparently signed rain as the first member of their new lineup.

We’re honestly not sure what the bigger story is there, but we are excited to see rain return to the server and potentially in a new role, too. That’s because nadeshot and the lads are also apparently targeting GamerLegion’s core, which presumably means PR, REZ, and tauson could all see themselves on a new team soon.

Feels bad for GamerLegion.

That is rumours are to be believed, of course. And considering they come from OverDrive, they should probably be taken with a pinch of salt. GamerLegion’s CEO has already denied them, but how many times have esports CEOs denied things just for them to come true weeks later?

We do hope it is true, though. If rain is making the leap to IGLing, then the GamerLegion core is one of the best cores he could hope to lead his first team with. All three of those riflers are more than capable fraggers, and PR has the potential to go on and win the Major in the future.

It does leave the problem of finding a strong AWPer, which GamerLegion themselves have struggled with this year, but at least 100 Thieves should have some money to throw around in order to buy a good one.

Or they could just take a gamble on any random Russian 18 year old, which is probably a safer bet than any of the predictions we made in our Chengdu story.
