The organization has decided to withdraw from the 2018 CS:GO season, but looks forward to bounce back and enter the scene after their learning experience.

Lucas "LUCAS1" Teles, Henrique "HEN1" Teles, Lincoln "Fnx" Lau, and Bruno "Bit" Lima have all been released from their contracts, and are now free agents available for pick up.

Lucas, Hen, Bit and FNX were all GREAT to work with but there have been too many issues that have popped up over the last few months and our small, but still growing, staff doesn’t have the resources to give them the support they need right now. I wish them the best of luck! https://t.co/pKWKuMeADU

The time 100 Thieves has spent in the CS:GO scene has truly been a sequence of unfortunate events for both the organization and players. Visa issues are a common plague in esports, and it's saddening to see those issues be a major part in a brand-new team's downfall, and eventual departure from the CS:GO scene.
