British e-sports team Into The Breach (ITB) will be completely ending their operation due to betrayal within the organization and serious financial problems..

On the eve of the Chinese New Year in 2025, British e-sports team Into The Breach (ITB) regrettably announced through its official X (Twitter) account that due to betrayal within the organization and serious financial problems, the team had decided that they will be completely ending their operation.

"To our amazing fans, supporters and community," ITB said in an official statement.

"The recent events at Into the Breach (ITB) highlight serious mismanagement within the organization. Upon further investigation, we have discovered that a single individual responsible for all financial and monetary decisions was misappropriating funds for personal use. This betrayal has put ITB in an unsustainable situation and we deeply regret that we must begin to end our operations."

"This is a heartbreaking moment for all of us. ITB was built on the belief that the passion and hard work of vulnerable groups can overcome any obstacle. But most importantly, it was built on you, our fans. Your support, your shoutouts and your unwavering belief in us have always been our driving force. We are sorry to have let you down."

"We are working with legal and financial advisors to handle this situation in a transparent and responsible manner. Our priority is to support our players, employees and partners during this difficult transition."

"To our fans, thank you for being ITB 's core. This is not the ending we wanted, but your support means a lot to us. While this chapter may be coming to an end, we hope to find a way to commemorate the legacy we have built together. "

Since ITB just announced last week that it had signed MinD_ContRoL, a Bulgarian ace player who won Ti7 with Liquid, and will participate in this year's Dota 2 events under the banner of ITB.Shuffle, this announcement has also made many fans worried about the prospects of ITB.Shuffle.
