100 Thieves has built up its content efforts in the past couple of years. It’s currently on the third season of The Heist, a docuseries that follows its League of Legends roster, it used to produce a series around its Call of Duty team titled [02100], and has the What’s Not Given series for its LCS Academy side.
Esports Insider says: Azevedo is clearly experienced in what he does, especially in the online entertainment sector, so this seems like a solid hire for 100 Thieves. Over its short lifespan, the organisation has done an impressive job of bringing impressive people over into esports and it’s kept that streak alive here.
