100 Thieves has signed Japanese-Canadian streamer and Valorant content creator, Kyedae. Based in Canada and fully fluent in English and Japanese, Kyedae is 100 Thieves’ first international content creator, and at 19 years old, she is also the team’s youngest creator to date.
This news comes on the heels of Valkyrae joining the 100 Thieves ownership group, furthering the organization’s mission of elevating women in gaming. Kyedae is the first female content creator to be signed 100 Thieves this year, and the organization is already in talks with more female talent that will be announced later this year.
Kyedae got her start in content creation in November 2020 and has rapidly grown on both YouTube and Twitch in a matter of months. She currently has over 400K followers across both platforms where she regularly streams Valorant as well as a variety of other games. In addition to gaming, she also regularly creates IRL streams, showing off what a day in the life of a college sophomore biology major/content creator is like.
“We’re always on the lookout for breakout creators to help them boost their gaming careers,” said Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag, Founder & CEO of 100 Thieves. “I have so much respect for Kyedae and her work ethic. She’s built such a strong community over just a few months despite being a full-time biology major with a full course load. I can’t wait to work with her more and help her reach her full potential as a content creator.”
Now as part of the 100 Thieves content creator team – which includes gaming talents such CouRageJD, Valkyrae, BrookeAB, Neekolul, AustinShow, NoahJ456, Yassuo, and 2HYPE – Kyedae will be able to tap into 100 Thieves’ network, as well as its marketing and content production teams, to expand her growing reach.
“It doesn’t quite feel real yet that I am now part of 100 Thieves,” said Kyedae Shymko. “Everyone in this organization is so admirable and I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this team. I started my streaming career less than half a year ago and knowing that I have such a talented group of creators and staff behind me makes me feel very supported and it inspires me to work even harder. I just want to give a huge thank you to the 100 Thieves team. There is so much more that goes into every photo shoot, video, content piece, etc., than what meets the eye. I’m so excited for the future and all the content we’ll be able to create together!”
The signing of Kyedae comes on the heels of Valkyrae joining the 100 Thieves ownership group, alongside CouRageJD, furthering the organization’s mission of elevating women in gaming. Kyedae is the first female content creator to be signed 100 Thieves this year, and the organization is already in talks with more female talent that will be announced later this year.
