[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=2) Well, I had a choice, so let me explain, I had a choice, I had a choice…

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=5) Go ahead and explain, because that was actually a normal question!

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=8) But I don't know if it's the most… Anyway, worst case, I don't care.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=12) Oh yeah, we don't care. I had the choice between Judd, LeMate…

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=14) Yeah. 100 Thieves. Okay.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=21) So I talked with… We had talked with Gotha, Brooks, what's-his-name…

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=27) And actually, the only reason I went to 100T…

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=32) Yeah. is because my teammates wanted to go to 100T.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=36) Okay. Personally, I tried to insist, you know.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=38) I tried to insist, I told them, yeah, France has a lot of fans, a lot of people, you're going to love it.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=46) And well, that's it. I showed them Squeezie's YouTube channels, bro.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=52) Propaganda! I tried to show them... I told them, "Come on, guys!"

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=57) And actually, they chose 100 Thieves. First of all, because it's American.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=61) Yes. And second, because they didn't know Gentle Mates in the league.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=66) And a real Thieves is Nadeshot, it's... They knew!

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=68) What is Gentle Mates? They knew. We know Gentle Mates, we know Gotaga, whatever.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=72) But they didn't know how it would turn out in the league, actually.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=77) And so, I gave them—I prefer, you know, giving them the choice.

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=80) Yeah. Because I don't want to push, like, "Yeah, come on, let's join...

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=86) Gentle Mates, join this, join that," you know, when they're not interested.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=89) It's not that they weren't interested. But in any case, they liked a Dream Team more.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=92) It's just that they liked it more, and especially that we were a package deal, let's say, with Scrap, Envoy, and me, we were the trio, let's say, at that time.

[1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=102) And Envoy, he had already been with 100 Thieves, it was, that was two years before.

[1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=109) Two years before, you know, so he knew 100 Thieves, he knew Nadeshot.

[1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=113) So, it was easier for him to say, "Come on, let's go to 100T," you know.

[1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=116) So, honestly, I just followed along. OK.

[1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=119) I just followed along, I told them, "Well, let's go to 100T."

[2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xLbFuWYIxcHR/en/why-join-la-thieves-instead-of-gentle-mates?t=123) And that was it.
