100 Thieves Asuna addresses speculation about potential addition of former Sentinels player to Valorant teamThe Valorant esports offseason is currently underway and there is already speculation about teams making changes. However, a report regarding 100 Thieves and their roster has been swiftly dismissed by Peter ‘Asuna’ Mazuryk.The current roster of 100 Thieves in Valorant is in an intriguing position as all members are approaching the end of their contracts this year. It is anticipated that the team will retain its roster for the upcoming 2025 season, given their successful performance at Masters Shanghai and narrowly missing out on qualifying for Valorant Champions 2024.According to a recent report from VLR insider James, on August 29, it was revealed that 100 Thieves is currently testing out former Sentinels player Eric ‘Kanpeki’ Xu for a potential spot on their 2025 roster. Kanpeki has a strong track record in the North American scene, having previously played for notable teams such as Akrew and EZ5 before joining Sentinels and TSM.Still, within an hour of its posting, 100 Thieves player Asuna disproved the report through a tweet.”While I do have a great admiration for Kanpeki, I highly doubt that 100 Thieves would consider giving my friend a trial,” he stated while streaming and reading the report.Asuna has immediately denied that 100 Thieves are trialing Kanpeki // #VALORANT https://t.co/gDMTQC76aY pic.twitter.com/6Gw4zU8P1D— Valorant News (@ValorINTEL) August 29, 2024Despite rumors and reports about trials and rosters, players have consistently denied them in order to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of confirming such information. This is especially important for teams as they make decisions on which players to sign and negotiate salaries for.Despite Asuna dismissing the rumor, it should be noted that he is not a part of 100 Thieves management and may not have access to information regarding potential players being trialed or considered for the 2025 roster.In 2024, Kanpeki participated in the North American Challengers League as a member of Together We Are Terrific in Stage 1. However, he has since played for several amateur teams and on August 7, announced his search for a team to compete in VCT Americas or the Challengers League for the 2025 season.The Valorant offseason is in full swing, and this rumor is just one of several that will likely surface in the coming weeks as players become free agents and teams strive to construct championship-worthy lineups.
