UKCS fans, congratulations, you get another semi-positive story!

Into the Breach is back, more powerful than ever. Last time they ran out of funding, leading them to disband after a bad RMR run. This time, armed with the power of gambling money, nothing is going to stop them. If you believe their statement, and we do, they will have a salary budget of up to 1 million USD a year.

For context, you can afford 1.6 NiKo’s a month if you believe Smooya’s estimations from 2022.

Speaking of Smooya, he’s this team's first puzzle piece. The British sharpshooter had a five-month stint on ITB a few years ago and will be hoping for a long ride this time. For a UK organisation, we’re fine with this as a starting point, but now the question is, who do you surround him with?

There’s lots of talent around the scene, but who’s available and willing to sign? There’s the ex-Guild boys, but then you have to figure out who you’re taking. JKS is still available, but god knows if he’d settle for ITB or if he wants to wait for another contender. Most importantly, who do you sign as your IGL?

The bottom line is that gambling money is cool and all, but who are you able to sign, and will they work out on the first try? Many men have tried this path, but not many have returned victorious. Some end up like TSM.
