100 Thieves has won its first ever League Championship Series title as an organization after sweeping Team Liquid in the finals of the 2021 LCS Championship. 100 Thieves will attend the 2021 World Championship representing North America as its #1 seed.

Despite being unable to win a game in the series, Team Liquid came in as the favorite to win the LCS Championship due to its 3-1 victories over Cloud9 and TSM in the first two rounds of the upper bracket before it beat 100 Thieves 3-2 to qualify for the finals undefeated. 100 Thieves, on the other hand, enjoyed a first round bye after finishing 2nd in the LCS Summer Split, and after beating Evil Geniuses 3-2, 100 found itself in the lower bracket after losing to TL 3-2.

100 Thieves then faced off against Cloud9, who had secured the final Worlds 2021 spot alongside 100 and TL after defeating TSM in the previous lower bracket series. 100 Thieves dispatched of Cloud9 3-1 and then rode that momentum to a final sweep in its rematch against Team Liquid.
