100 Thieves Lift Parken Challenger Championship S6 in CS2 Comeback Title

100 Thieves' rebuilt CS2 roster — featuring device and rain — captured the Parken Challenger Championship S6, the first major trophy of the org's return.

100 Thieves Lift Parken Challenger Championship S6 in CS2 Comeback Title

100 Thieves are back on a CS trophy. The North American organisation’s rebuilt CS2 roster — built around veteran legends Nicolai ‘device’ Reedtz and Håvard ‘rain’ Nygaard alongside Alex ‘Sundgren’ Sundgren and emerging names — captured the Parken Challenger Championship Season 6, the first significant title since the org returned to Counter-Strike in late 2025.

The playoff run

100 Thieves opened the bracket with a confident 2-0 over A Great Chaos (13-7 Mirage, 13-6 Ancient), then survived a 2-1 upper-bracket final against Acend in one of the most competitive series of the event. The grand final delivered the underdog story of the week: BASEMENT BOYS came out of the lower bracket after eliminating MTX, A Great Chaos and Acend — but couldn’t quite finish the run against 100 Thieves’ veteran composure.

device, again

device’s playoff numbers were elite — series-leading impact across multiple maps, particularly in the A Great Chaos sweep where his mid-round AWP stability stabilised the team in key moments. rain provided the senior experience expected of him, while Sundgren’s aggressive entry style produced the opening kills that made the tactical structure work.

What it means for the project

100 Thieves’ 2025 CS return was viewed as ambitious — a brand rebuilding around veterans plus prospects after five years away. The Parken title isn’t an IEM, but it’s a Tier-2 LAN trophy with strong ranking implications, particularly for upcoming invitations and tournament seeding. Community reaction was overwhelmingly positive: device and rain still operating at this level, with the rest of the lineup visibly improving in coordination, is the trajectory the org needed.
