He was the one who shaped the Valorant roster which went on to win the first official Valorant tournament, Valornant First Strike.

And since then 100 Thieves Valornat roster has been considered one of the best teams from NA. And have shown impeccable performance in Masters 3 Berlin.

Next steps for Hiko

With Hiko stepping down after 14 years of competitive play, he has opened up to new possibilities. He is going to be a full-time streamer and a content creator for 100 Thieves.

He mentioned that he wants to be a member of 100T forever if possible, and continue in this organization. He has been thinking of resigning for some time now. But thought this time would be the best time to implement the change.

He currently has some stuff to take care of and visit his family but has promised that he will start off with the actual streams on the 25th of April.

Some things he said he wants to focus on are:

• Longer(6-8 hours) Streams on Twitch
• Other socials like Youtube, Ticktok, and more
• Work on more content for 100 Thieves
• Do variety streams
• and more consistent streams starting at 9:00 AM PST

He also has some other ideas and plans, which we will see in the implementation stage from the 25th.
