The sudden removal of any affiliation with 100 Thieves from Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag’s social pages, and his listing as ‘Former CEO’ on Google, has sparked questions amongst fans. Although Haag has not addressed the topic, it is no secret that he has been focusing heavily on streaming in recent weeks, as he prepares for the arrival of his first child.

Meanwhile, Valkyrae, who is a co-owner of 100 Thieves, has also removed any mention of the organisation from her Twitter bio. Fans were left confused by this move, as Valkyrae later explained on stream that she wanted to promote some upcoming merch in that space instead. With Haag’s last social media post dating back to December 8, fans are eager to know what is happening with the organisation.

Is Nadeshot Stepping Down?

There has been speculation regarding the future of 100 Thieves’ CEO, Nadeshot. Some social media users have noticed that Nadeshot has removed any affiliation with the brand from his social pages, and he has been listed as ‘Former CEO’ on Google. However, it should be noted that there has been no official statement from Nadeshot or 100 Thieves regarding his potential departure.

It is important to mention that the recent performance of 100 Thieves in esports titles may not be the reason why Nadeshot could be stepping down as CEO. While the organization has experienced some struggles in recent years, including layoffs to prevent financial struggles, the Call of Duty team, LA Thieves, won a $200,000 Major during the 2023 CDL season. Additionally, the team won the LCS Summer circuit in 2021, bringing home $100,000, and there was a relatively sizeable VALORANT win late in 2022.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Nadeshot and 100 Thieves, but it is clear that there is much speculation surrounding the situation.

What’s With The Social Media Blackout?

Nadeshot, the CEO and founder of 100 Thieves, has recently removed his affiliation from his social media profiles. While the reasons behind this move are unclear, it’s unlikely that he is preparing to leave the company entirely and would strip the branding from his social pages before letting his followers know about the move.

The LCS and the CDL are currently facing challenges, and this doesn’t help sell the notion that all is well at 100 Thieves. However, Nadeshot has been celebrating his achievements and streaming VALORANT for hours every day, which may suggest that he is working through a notice period before he drops the role and heads off to kick off family life in earnest.

It’s important to note that this is all speculation, and there could be a variety of reasons why Nadeshot has removed his affiliation from his social media profiles. Until more information is released, it’s impossible to say for certain what’s with the social media blackout.
