The Los Angeles-based 100 Thieves have announced the signing of Chet “ImAPet” Singh, who takes over as head coach of the organisation’s CS:GO esports roster.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old coach picks up the reins from Serbian strategist Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunovi\u0107, who parted ways with 100T last month<\/a> after close to 21 months with the Australian roster.<\/p>\n Confirming the news in a Twitlonger post, ImAPet revealed he was contemplating leaving CS:GO and transitioning to VALORANT, as many other professional players and coaches have already done<\/a>, when the offer from 100 Thieves relit his love for the game.<\/p>\n “Today starts a new chapter in my life. I was teamless in a pretty scary time, where Corona has pretty much limited a lot of CSGO opportunities and opportunities given weren\u2019t exactly what I would call living up to my expectations,” said ImAPet.<\/p>\n “Thankfully, I gave it enough time and didn\u2019t sign my life away to Valorant where I was able to find a squad that I have a lot of faith in and they seem to have the same for me, so thank you, 100 Thieves, for the opportunity to let me jump back into competitive CS.”<\/p>\n ImAPet’s arrival will mark the first addition to the former Renegades squad since October 2018, when they re-signed kassad as coach after he spent four months at Valiance (now CR4ZY). The current playing roster was formed in September 2018, when Renegades signed Sean “Gratisfaction” Kaiwai and Jay “Liazz” Tregillgas. That was more than a year before 100 Thieves bought out the squad in December 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
