100 Thieves job listing hints at new comedy show in the works
A new job listing on the 100 Thieves website hints at the possibility of upcoming comedy and reality shows coming to the organization.
100 Thieves has become one of the biggest esports organizations in the world since it was created by former Call of Duty pro player Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, with insanely popular apparel and content to go alongside their championship trophies.
Content has been at the forefront of Haag and 100 Thieves’ vision since its inception, creating viral hits and some of the most revered gaming content on YouTube. Now, though, it seems they’re looking to level up.
100 Thieves has become one of the biggest organizations in the world thanks to the support from people such as Scooter Braun (above) and Drake.In a job listing posted in December 2019, 100 Thieves appear to be on the lookout for an experienced comedy writer to join and assist with their content creation.
