Drake congratulates 100 Thieves’ victory at CWL London in a special way

With 100 Thieves winning their first major tournament at CWL London on May 5, popular music star Drake decided to congratulate them in a very special way.

There have been a lot of reactions pouring in about 100 Thieves’ victory at the CWL London pro Call of Duty tournament, but Drake’s may have been the most special for the players and organization so far.

The global music icon, who is one of the investors that’s poured a lot of funding into 100T, took to his Instagram story just hours after the tournament concluded to post a congratulatory message to the team. 

“Congrats to the guys. 100 Thieves CWL London champs,” he wrote over an image of the players hoisting their first ever major trophy as a squad.

Considering that Drake’s Instagram currently has over 56.8 million followers, this is obviously a huge PR break for 100 Thieves.

Assuming that a large majority of Drake’s followers don’t really know much about CoD esports, it’s likely that at least some will start paying more attention to 100T after the post on his story. 

Drake’s involvement with Nadeshot and 100 Thieves is well documented, as he’s one of the investors that’s poured money into the org.

As mentioned earlier, Drake has a reason to be interested in 100 Thieves and their progress in esports, as he and SB Projects founder Scooter Braun were two of the heavy-hitters to contribute to 100T’s Series A funding round back in October 2018.
