“I decided to bench myself between our bootcamp and IEM Cologne. It was a hard decision, but necessary for myself. It’s been a long road and sometimes you have to focus on you,” the Portuguese said in his official statement. “I’ll hopefully be back on the big stage soon.”

Acting as the head coach at a young age, Juve dedicated himself to the British organization for most of the past two years. Their latest achievement was the impressive run to the quarter-finals at the BLAST.tv Paris Major this year.
After the Major, the team faced significant changes with the departure of its British core. Sebastian “volt” Maloș made a move to another Paris surprise team, GamerLegion, while Cai “CYPHER” Watson is reportedly considering a switch to TSM.
Adam “NEOFRAG” Zouhar and Aurimas “Bymas” Pipiras filled the vacancies at Into the Breach. They marked their LAN debut at the IEM Cologne Play-in, but their journey ended with a last-place finish following losses to both Ninjas in Pyjamas and TheMongolz in Juve’s concluding matches.
