gla1ve to Become the Coach of 100 Thieves

HLTV.org, citing its own sources, 30-year-old Danish player Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander is close to taking over as the head coach for the newly forming 100 Thieves Counter-Strike 2 roster. The organization reportedly wants to sign the legendary in-game leader to reinforce the new project that will be built with a new lineup.

As a reminder, less than a month ago, gla1ve announced that his in-game career was over, meaning more than a decade of professional competition came to an end. Rossander underlined many times that he doesn't want to leave the CS scene and his new goal is to become a coach, so this proposal from 100 Thieves seems to be his first serious step toward this goal.

Interest in gla1ve has increased since the return of the organization itself in recent times. In early November, 100 Thieves confirmed its comeback to Counter-Strike after over five years of absence from the scene. The first player of the new roster became the former FaZe Clan member Håvard “rain” Nygaard, one of the most experienced riflers in the game.

Beyond the competitive roster, the club has also begun building a broader structural foundation: it was previously announced that Graham “messioso” Pitt and Sean “seang@res” Gares will lead the development program and oversee the creation of the 100 Thieves CS2 lineup. The addition of gla1ve as head coach could become a crucial element of this project, providing the team with strategic depth and the experience of a four-time Major champion.
