Offseason Recap: Building off EWC Success
Signings:
+ Cameron "Cammy" McKilligan
+ Joseph "Owakening" Conley
+ Evan "Purj" Perez
Releases:
- Denholm "Denz" Taylor
- Mohsen "Mxhsen" Ahmed
- Zach "Zed" Denyer
The Boston Breach had a chaotic offseason, but all of that concern was on the franchise and ownership side. Once the new coaching staff of Seany & Magxck took the reins, the team decided to run with the success they achieved at the Esports World Cup. In that tournament, the Breach won their first series on LAN in the entire season and ended up with a Top 6 finish. After finding that slight success, the team decided to resign those players to see if they could build upon that success in Black Ops 6.
With the starting roster and coaching staff set, the questions will be surrounding the firepower on the frontline. If the duo of Snoopy & Purj can stand up against the good team within the CDL, then the Breach could be a sleeper team to improve heavily this season.
The Boston Breach roster heading into Black Ops 6:
○ Eric "Snoopy" Pérez
○ Cameron "Cammy" McKilligan
○ Joseph "Owakening" Conley
○ Evan "Purj" Perez
○ Sean "Seany" O'Connor [Coach]
○ Mike "Magxck" Libeccio [Coach]
Offseason Reactions
Ronnie: "The roster took a lot of flak from the public heading into EWC but ended up having a pretty good event, placing in the top 8 considering the expectations going into it. Boston kept this roster for BO6 but made big changes in the coaching department. I personally don't think it was the worst decision to stick with this team and give them a shot. Having a chemistry boost over the majority of the new rosters could really give them a nice advantage early doors in BO6."
Easy Mac: “Heading into the offseason, the franchise had a lot of drama behind the scenes that was going to undoubtedly ruin their chances of signing high-tier players. Their best bet was to either sign the best prospects on the market or keep the only roster that had any semblance of success last season. In the end, they opted to keep the EWC roster and coaching staff, which is a smart decision. Create stability & see if the EWC success was solid or just a flash in the pan. They will be a team to keep your eye on to see if they'll make roster moves early if needed to improve the roster or ride it out."
Season Expectations
Ronnie: “I would say many have them marked for the 11th-10th placed team, so if they can define expectations and hover around the top 8-4 while also making sure they qualify for COD Champs and see improvement all year long, I'm sure many around the organization will be pleased."
Black Ops 6 Season Predictions
Best Placement: Top 6
Team MVP: Cammy
Final Regular Season Seed: 10th
Will they qualify for Champs: No
Easy Mac: “Unfortunately, I don't foresee a great season for the Breach. The Top 3 franchises are set. The next tier of New York, Gentlemates, Vancouver, and Toronto are well ahead in my personal ranking. Minnesota & Carolina have rosters I like. Miami always seems to come out of nowhere to surprise everyone & I love the RenKoR signing. That leaves the Breach to compete with Vegas and to try to upset the teams above them. It'll be tough, but there are always teams that are over and undervalued in the preseason that end up shocking everyone. Boston does have good pieces and could find success if the team clicks early. I'll never write off any team because of that, but the road will be hard."
Black Ops 6 Season Predictions

Players to Watch in Black Ops 6
Ronnie: “Cameron "Cammy" McKilligan is my player to watch.
Is it finally time for Cold War Cammy? Well, the breach will be hopping; it sure is if Cammy can get to even half the heights we have seen him hit before, Boston could be in store for a very fun season."
Easy Mac: “After five seasons, I know what to expect out of the AR duo Cammy & Owakening. They'll have good and bad moments but have a sneaky consistency that no one really acknowledges. The major question I have for this team will always be surrounding their SMG duo. I have doubts that they can compete against the other good SMG duos in the League & that it'll hamper them greatly in respawns. BUT in Search & Destroy, I know this team will have great moments, many of which will come from Snoopy. If this team finds success this year, it'll be behind the play of Snoopy propelling them. If not, I don't think the team's MVP is on the roster just yet."
