Esports Insider says: It’s not surprising to see an organisation like 100 Thieves teaming up with an agency like CCA. Sure, every consumer-facing company is becoming a media company, but few are able to execute that as well as 100 Thieves. If anything, we’d expect this alliance to generate more high-grade content from the organisation.
