On June 24th, the highly anticipated VCT 2024 Americas Stage 2 match took place. 100 Thieves, the champions of the previous stage, were unable to withstand the onslaught of FURIA and suffered a crushing 0-2 defeat. This unexpected result left many Valorant fans surprised and eager to hear the team’s perspective on the loss. In a post-match interview, 100 Thieves’ player Boostio expressed his view that the league could benefit from more trash talk and banter between the teams. “I think we need a lot more trash talk in the league,” Boostio stated. “It would make the matches even more exciting and really bring out the competitive spirit in the players.”
Boostio’s comments sparked discussion within the Valorant community, with some agreeing that increased trash talk could elevate the entertainment value of the esports league, while others felt it could lead to an overly aggressive and unsportsmanlike atmosphere. Nonetheless, Boostio’s remarks highlighted the desire among some players to see a more intense and confrontational dynamic unfold on the competitive stage. The 100 Thieves loss to FURIA marked a significant turning point in the VCT 2024 season, as the previously dominant team faced unexpected adversity. Fans will be eager to see how the organization and its players respond in the upcoming matches, and whether Boostio’s call for more trash talk will come to fruition in the league.
Boostio Reflects on 100 Thieves’ Struggles and Shares Confidence in Team’s Ability to Bounce Back
After the match, Boostio, a player from 100 Thieves, sat down with RavishingRavish to reflect on the reasons behind their unexpected defeat and discuss the team’s plans moving forward. Boostio openly acknowledged that 100 Thieves had been struggling to maintain their dominant form since their victory at Masters Shanghai, but expressed confidence in the team’s ability to bounce back and reclaim their position. “We need a lot more trash talk in the league,” Boostio asserted. “I don’t regret the posts I made from Brazil at all – it brings more attention to the game, which I think is a good thing.” He went on to explain, “I think it’s just the way my mom raised me. She taught me not to worry about what others think and to do what makes me happy. That’s the approach I try to bring to my play and my interactions with the community.” Boostio’s comments sparked a lively discussion within the Valorant esports scene, with some fans agreeing that a more confrontational and banter-filled atmosphere could heighten the excitement and entertainment value of the league, while others expressed concerns that it could foster an unhealthy, toxic environment. “I understand that not everyone is going to agree with me on this,” Boostio said. “But I truly believe that a little more trash talk would add an extra layer of intensity and drama to the matches. It’s all in good fun, you know?”
The 100 Thieves player went on to analyze the team’s performance against FURIA, acknowledging that they were simply outmatched on the day. “FURIA played out of their minds. We knew they were going to be a tough opponent, but they really brought their A-game and we just couldn’t keep up. We have to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to shore up our weaknesses.” When asked about the team’s mindset heading into the remainder of the VCT 2024 season, Boostio expressed a mix of determination and cautious optimism.
“We’ve been the team to beat for a while now, so this loss is definitely a wake-up call. But I know the guys, and I know we have what it takes to bounce back stronger than ever. We’re not going to let this setback define our season.” With their next match against MIBR scheduled for July 3rd, 100 Thieves is laser-focused on regaining their footing and continuing their fight for the title of VCT 2024 Americas champions in the second stage of the competition. Boostio and his teammates are eager to bounce back from this disappointment and demonstrate their true potential on the big stage once again. “We’ve been through tough times before, and we’ve always come out on top,” Boostio said. “This is just another challenge for us to overcome. We’re going to put in the work, fine-tune our strategies, and come out swinging. The other teams better be ready, because 100 Thieves is coming for that trophy.”
The young player also addressed the team’s recent roster changes, which saw the departure of a key member. “It was a difficult decision, but we believe it was the right move for the team in the long run. We have full confidence in our new addition, and we’re excited to see what they can bring to the table. Change is never easy, but sometimes it’s necessary to take the next step.” As the interview drew to a close, Boostio reiterated his call for more trash talk in the Valorant league, arguing that it would heighten the stakes and create a more engaging viewing experience for fans. “At the end of the day, we’re all competitors, and we want to win. A little bit of friendly banter and playful jabs just add to the drama and excitement. It’s all part of the show, you know?” With the VCT 2024 season heating up, 100 Thieves will undoubtedly have their work cut out for them as they seek to reclaim their position at the top of the Americas region. But with Boostio’s infectious enthusiasm and the team’s proven track record of success, the 100 Thieves faithful remain hopeful that their champions will rise to the occasion and make a triumphant return to the upper echelons of Valorant esports.
