Matt and his 100 Thieves League of Legends team have taken a longer-term approach, focusing on talent development and building a project that will last.īoth approaches have their strengths and weaknesses with different timelines and end goals in mind, and I think it is good to have both in esports. Reed is looking for North America to win a crown now.
In the tradition of Real Madrid’s Galacticos and the New York Yankees, Reed is convinced it is a challenge that deep pockets and aggressive spending can solve.
They argued from opposite sides of an age-old argument in traditional sports that has made its way into the esports conversation. Near the end of the conversation, Reed and Matt got into a debate about what it would take for a North American League of Legends team to win the World Championship. They provide insight into the world of gaming and content creators and they recently interviewed 100 Thieves owner, Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag. The other day I was watching one of my favourite industry podcasts right now: Creator Economics, hosted by Reed Duchscher and Blake Robbins. In this piece, ESI Guest Columnist Caleb Cousens, CEO of Adamas Esports, compares two team-building strategies we have seen in traditional sports for decades: win-now talent acquisition versus infrastructural, ground-up nurturing of talent.
