Hiko’s past as a professional player
Everyone that has been following Counter-Strike since 2016 knows who Hiko is and what he’s capable of.

Hiko is the oldest professional Valorant player to be signed by an organization as of right now.
What he offers to the 100 Thieves Valorant roster
With the amount of experience Hiko has culminated during the past decade of competing he definitely has a lot to offer to not only his team, but also the 100 Thieves organisation, as whilst he’s been competing, he’s also gained a lot of fans through his streaming community. As mentioned by Hiko on his live stream yesterday, he said that he is the team captain and will be in charge of the rest of the signings to the 100 Thieves Valorant Team.
