After originally getting leaked by their own building, 100 Thieves have officially announced the signing of Twitch streamer to the gaming and esports organization.
Just a couple days after 100T accidentally leaked TinaKitten’s signing by… painting their entire CashApp Compound pink with a welcome message, the news has been made official.
The streamer, who boasts millions of followers across her various platforms, has had longstanding ties to the org through friends like Valkyrae and BrookeAB. Now, the pink building and premature “welcome” design has come to fruition — as 100Tina becomes a reality.
Welcome @TinaKitten to 100 Thieves!
A longtime friend of the family, Tina's ability to light up a room with smiles is unmatched. Her growth as a creator over this past year has been incredible and we are so excited to support her on this journey! #100T pic.twitter.com/IjSWUP0Eko

Original story of the leaked announcement below:
As far as unofficial, official announcement goes — the 100 Thieves and TinaKitten saga has to be one of the most interesting of all time. The ties between Tina and 100T have been popping up for months now and fans seem to be getting their wish, if painted walls are to be trusted.
After a ton of speculation, an eagle-eyed (or just casually observant) fan walked past the Cash App Compound in Los Angeles and noticed that the entire building had been painted. With pink walls, kitten and carrot design, as well as “100 Thieves welcomes TinaKitten” in the center, people have begun connecting the (colorful) dots.
So, that’s where we’re at, officially able to make “the cat is out of the bag” jokes. TinaKitten has been linked to 100T in the past and their building appears to be announcing her signing before the org is able to. What a world.

A lot of fans had already been hoping for this announcement to come (although few probably thought this is how it would come about). Tina is known for interactions with 100T stalwarts like BrookeAB and Valkyrae and has an enormous presence just on her own.
With over 800,000 followers on Twitch, over 500,000 on Instagram, and over 600,000 on Twitter — there is no doubting the digital pawprint that TinaKitten has amassed. And, unless there’s a massive typo or a devious graffiti artist responsible, that presence should only grow with a 100T partnership.

An unannounced Tina has already baked frog cakes with Brooke and Symfuhny, much to the delight of Valkyrae, so one can only imagine what’s next once she officially signs.
At the moment, Dexerto can confirm that there is no Photoshop involved and the Cash App Compound is literally painted pink with a TinaKitten announcement.
Our Compound is currently pink and covered in carrots.
We are opening an investigation into the matter and will update when we have more information. pic.twitter.com/hbVzGTqSYw

For what it’s worth, 100T have also seemingly taken notice of their Compound’s new design. They’re looking into the situation for now.
No word yet on if they’re considering changing the name to Cat App Compound.
