In 2015, KT Rolster advanced to the finals once more in summer, and despite losing to SK Telecom T1, they qualified for the 2015 World Championship.

The team struggled in 2019 and 2020, staying near the bottom of the standing in the LCS, before making a comeback in summer of 2021, after Ssumday acquired his green card, granting him residency in the United States. 100 Thieves finished second in the regular season, and went on to defeat Team Liquid in the finals for Ssumday's first domestic title, which Ssumday cited as a very important and emotional achievement.
