100 Thieves announced VALORANT Game Changers 2026 roster

100 Thieves has announced its roster for the 2026 VALORANT Game Changers season, featuring a balanced mix of experience and rising talent.

Led by former NRG assistant coach Tanishq ‘Tanizhq’ Sabharwal, the line-up consists of four new players, with Lydia ‘lidyuh’ Wilson and ‘misu’ being the only members retained.

Check out the revamped 100 Thieves GC roster below:

lidyuh joined the North American organisation as a content creator in 2024 before returning to competitive VALORANT last year with Frog Womp. The team was later acquired by 100 Thieves in August 2025; however, it failed to qualify for last year’s Game Changers Championship. 

scaryshark32, on the other hand, is the most experienced player on the 100 Thieves GC roster and has previously competed with leading Game Changers organisations such as YFP and Evil Geniuses GC. While she never qualified for a Game Changers Championship, the American player has dominated the regional leagues, finishing second at GC North America Stage 2 in 2025.

The line-up’s head coach, Tanishq, has entered the Game Changers scene after spending eight months with NRG in 2024. Prior to that, he also worked with Team Vitality and Team Heretics as a head coach. 

The new 100 Thieves GC team has already begun its 2026 campaign in the VCT Game Changers North America Kickoff, winning both Open Qualifier series to advance to the Closed Qualifiers.

The next goal for the organisation would be to finish top eight in the Closer Qualifiers in order to earn a spot at the Main Event taking place from February 20th to March 1st.

While Kickoff is the opening tournament of the 2026 VALORANT Game Changers North America circuit, it will not grant any Championship Circuit Points.

Hence, the participating organisations will mainly focus on the Stage 1 and Stage 2 events, which will contribute towards the Game Changers Championship 2026 qualification.
