100 Thieves have strengthened their Marvel Rivals roster with the signing of Jacob ‘Nuk’ Allen, bringing in fresh talent just before Ignite Stage 2 kicks off.

Nuk joins the North American powerhouse as a Strategist, best known for his sharp play on characters like Luna Snow, Loki and Rocket Raccoon. His arrival marks a big step forward in his career, as 100 Thieves continue to position themselves as one of the top teams in the Marvel Rivals competitive scene.

From SHROUD-X to 100 Thieves

Before landing at 100 Thieves, Nuk competed under SHROUD-X, the organisation founded by Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek. With SHROUD-X, he featured in high-profile events such as Rival Fight Night. However, the team’s contract came to an end on August 16th, leaving its roster to pursue new opportunities. Since then, several former SHROUD-X players have signed with other major organisations, and Nuk’s move to 100 Thieves is arguably the biggest of them all.

100 Thieves’ Rise in Marvel Rivals

Over the past year, 100 Thieves have built a strong reputation in Marvel Rivals esports. They claimed victory at the 2025 North America Invitational, finished second at the Season 1 Championship, were runners-up in The Shroud Gauntlet, narrowly missed out on first place at Ignite Stage 1 Americas, and placed third at the Mid-Season Finals.

This consistent run of top finishes has made them one of the most respected teams in the scene, and the addition of Nuk could be the extra push they need heading into Ignite Stage 2.

Roster Moves Across the Scene

100 Thieves aren’t the only team making headlines with roster changes. With Ignite Stage 2 looming, several organisations are reshaping their line-ups.

  • Citadel Gaming, the Ignite Stage 1 EMEA champions, stunned fans by signing Adam ‘Meliø’ Jensen, a former Mid-Season Finals champion, as their new Duellist.
  • RAD Esports re-entered the Americas region with a completely fresh roster after parting ways with its former international champion squad, which is now competing independently as Team1 while searching for a new home.
  • Gen.G Esports announced a new roster after cutting ties with four of its original members.
  • Sentinels, the Ignite Stage 1 Americas champions, also parted ways with three players following their Mid-Season Finals campaign.

The constant reshuffling highlights just how competitive and unpredictable the Marvel Rivals scene has become as the road to the Ignite Grand Finals draws closer.

With Nuk now on board, all eyes will be on 100 Thieves to see whether this latest signing can be the difference-maker in their push for the top.
