In a major shakeup for North American League of Legends esport scene, 100 Thieves has decided to step back from its franchise slot in the newly-formed League of Legends Championship of The Americas, while rising team Disguised will enter the league as a guest team.

The decision by 100 Thieves to sell its LTA franchise slot back to Riot Games has left many fans disappointed, as it marks an unexpected shift for a team that, since its founding, has been a major force in North American esports scene and beyond. While they will still compete under a provisional status in the LTA’s first season in 2025, the organization won’t be eligible for postseason promotion and therefore will terminate its journey in League‘s highest competitive scene at the end of next year.
