100 Thieves have once again proven why they remain one of North America’s most formidable esports organizations. The team captured the Marvel Rivals Ignite Stage 2 Americas championship after defeating ENVY in a tense five-game grand final, solidifying their position among the top global contenders heading into the Ignite Grand Finals later this year.
100 Thieves’ Road to Victory
After finishing second in Ignite Stage 1 and third at the Mid-Season Finals, 100 Thieves entered Stage 2 determined to reclaim their dominance. They opened the tournament with a flawless 4-0 record in the group stage, outperforming heavyweights such as DarkZero and Sentinels.
Their playoff run showcased top-tier coordination and composure under pressure. 100 Thieves advanced through the bracket with back-to-back 3-1 victories over Dreamland and ENVY before taking down FlyQuest in the upper bracket finals to secure a spot in the championship match.
In the grand finals, ENVY battled their way up from the lower bracket for a rematch against 100 Thieves, setting the stage for a best-of-five showdown. Across five intense maps, 100 Thieves demonstrated clinical precision and tactical brilliance to seal the victory with a 4-1 series score.
Dominant Finals Performance
The championship series highlighted 100 Thieves’ adaptability and resilience, with standout moments across all maps. They opened with a narrow win on Hell’s Heaven before ENVY struck back in the second game. However, 100 Thieves quickly regained control, closing out the next three matches decisively on Symbiotic Surface, Krakoa, and Hall of Djalia to capture the title.
With this win, 100 Thieves not only claimed the lion’s share of the $250,000 prize pool but also secured a coveted qualification spot for the upcoming Ignite Grand Finals, set to be held at DreamHack Atlanta later this year.
Heading to Atlanta
Joining 100 Thieves at the global finals will be ENVY, FlyQuest, and DarkZero — the top four teams from the Americas region. They will face off against regional champions from EMEA, Asia, China, and Oceania, including Virtus.pro, Natus Vincere, Crazy Raccoon, OUG, and ChopperMag, for the $1 million grand prize.
For 100 Thieves, this victory marks more than just a championship — it’s redemption and momentum ahead of their biggest test yet. As the team prepares for Atlanta, fans are eager to see if they can carry their incredible form into the world stage and claim the ultimate Marvel Rivals crown.
