The latest edition of Valorant Champions just ended with a bang. Multiple big names like Elon Musk and Ben Affleck came to witness the final, with the latter coming forward as an avid gamer. After an all-out battle in the final, Evil Geniuses managed to bring the title to the Americas League.
Another Americas League team, however, did not have the desired run they wanted. The second seed of the Americas league, NRG, had a disappointing end to their Champions 2023 run after they went out on the group stage. Following this loss, their star player s0m has started to tease about switching teams.

In his latest Twitch stream after dropping from Valorant Champions 2023, NRG s0m made some shocking comments. The pro player claimed he, along with his IGL FNS, is not part of NRG’s starting Valorant roster. Furthermore, he claimed they both will be streaming full-time until any other team is willing to pick them.

But he did not have to wait long for a new team as he quickly got a call from the co-owner of 100 Thieves, Nadeshot. In a very cryptic call, s0m can be heard stating, “Nadeshot! I haven’t signed it yet. I’ll get it done tonight.” This remark from s0m led many fans to believe he is switching from NRG to 100 Thieves.

However, the pro player has yet to confirm the significance of the reveals he made on stream. He has been a member of the NRG team since joining Valorant in 2020. Furthermore, he has become the star player on the roster, which makes it highly unlikely that NRG will drop him.
While the switch to 100 Thieves seems like a long shot, fans are still loving the possibility s0m can switch over. And they have flocked to Twitter to share their speculations.
Fans speculate on whether s0m is switching teams
Multiple fans have shared their opinions on the possibility of s0m switching to 100 Thieves. While some believe he might switch over, the majority of the audience thinks he won’t be leaving his team.

Wait if this is no cap this is a major upgrade. If it is cap, then he’s a W stripper and honestly would be a good fit at 100T

This remark from NRG s0m, however, has made many 100 Thieves players worried about their spot in the team.
