Ag1l Joins 100 Thieves: Full Roster Breakdown, Roles, and What It Means for the CS2 Project

100 Thieves have officially announced the signing of André “Ag1l” Gil, continuing the organization’s gradual rebuild of its Counter-Strike 2 roster. The former SAW anchor becomes another key structural piece in a long-term project led by Håvard “rain” Nygaard, with Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander taking charge as head coach.

This move further confirms that 100 Thieves are not rushing for short-term results, instead assembling a roster designed to scale through Valve Regional Standings (VRS) and open competitions.

Who Is Ag1l and Why 100 Thieves Signed Him

Ag1l made his name as one of the most reliable anchor and lurker specialists in the Portuguese scene. After joining SAW at the end of 2024, he steadily grew into a high-impact role player, particularly during the second half of 2025, where his defensive consistency stood out against higher-ranked opposition.

From an analytical standpoint, Ag1l fits exactly what 100 Thieves need at this stage:

Strong site-holding fundamentals

Low-resource efficiency

Experience in structured systems rather than star-centric play

These qualities complement rain’s aggressive rifling style and align with gla1ve’s historically system-heavy approach.

Player Reactions and Official Statements

Ag1l confirmed the transfer via social media, stating that he was excited to begin work with his new teammates and start a new chapter under the 100 Thieves banner.

Earlier, rain described his move to the organization as “finding a new home,” acknowledging that the project would require patience and significant rebuilding before reaching elite-tier competition again.

Meanwhile, gla1ve has openly framed his coaching role as a fresh challenge, emphasizing that his goal is to transfer years of in-game leadership experience into long-term team development rather than instant success.

What This Means for 100 Thieves in CS2

From an SEO and competitive perspective, this signing reinforces several clear themes:

Long-term rebuild rather than a marketing-driven superteam

Focus on role clarity over raw firepower

Acceptance that the team will initially compete in lower-tier LANs and online events

Gradual accumulation of VRS points to unlock better tournament access

Ag1l’s addition is not a headline-grabbing superstar move, but it is exactly the type of signing that historically underpins successful rebuilds.
