100 Thieves swept SadFamous in a clean 2-0 series on August 7, 2026, kicking off their Esports World Cup 2026 CS2 open qualifier campaign.
The match was the opening fixture in Group 11 (also known as Group K) of the EWC26 Last Chance Qualifier, a 16-group double-elimination structure designed to filter the field down to a handful of squads worthy of the main event.
A lopsided affair in a loaded group
The series got underway around 9:00 AM PST. SadFamous, one of the lower-seeded teams in the group, never managed to generate the kind of sustained pressure needed to steal a map.
100 Thieves came into the qualifier with a somewhat uneven recent record. In July 2026, they took down Falcons 2-1 but dropped a series to Spirit 1-2.
