100 Thieves is working on deals to secure to top laner Kim "ssumday" Chan-ho and jungler William "Meteos" Hartman, sources close to the players and team told ESPN.

If completed, ssumday and Meteos will join Yoo "Ryu" Sang-wook as the second and third members of the 100 Thieves League of Legends lineup. The team completed a deal for Ryu on Tuesday, sources said. 100 Thieves did not respond to a request for comment.

Ssumday will also occupy the second import slot on the team's lineup, as regulated by the Riot Games interregional movement policy. That means the team will have to recruit a North American bottom laner to complete its roster.

Heading the lineup will be team founder and CEO Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag and head coach Neil "Pr0lly" Hammad, as well as several other businessmen from Dan Gilbert's venture capital firms.

100 Thieves gained entry into the North American League of Legends Championship Series in October. The team was majority acquired by Cleveland Cavaliers owner Gilbert and his firms over the summer.
