CDL strugglers Boston Breach set to be taken over by OMiT

After four years anchored to the footings of the Call of Duty League, Boston Breach is reportedly being taken over by Challengers outfit OMiT, who will assume responsibility of the team operations under the Breach banner.

Kraft Sports and Entertainment came to the saviour of the CDL when Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez regained the naming rights to OpTic and merged the Chicago Huntsmen and Dallas Empire, buying into the then-franchised league. Breach enabled the Envy-OpTic amalgamation, and the league reaped its rewards.

But currently sitting second-bottom of the CDL standings with just six wins across their opening 19 matches, and only two surprise top-three finishes across four seasons in the league. Boston Breach has been struggling for a long time. Now, successful Challengers organisation OMiT is set to come to the rescue.

OMiT reportedly set to take control of Boston Breach CDL operations

According to reports from Breaking Point, OMiT has reached an agreement to take over day-to-day operations within the Boston Breach camp, with a long-term vision of taking over the CDL spot in the 2027 season.

The report suggests that owner Rafi Huezo will oversee the team.

Boston Breach is one of very few esports assets retained by Kraft Sports and Entertainment – the company founded by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft – after Oxygen Esports began unwinding from its heavy investments throughout titles like VALORANT and Rocket League.

This merger, the report claims, will see OMiT finally take the CDL spot that Kraft has maintained.

OMiT will face an uphill climb in the CDL, though. Despite having been a pipeline for a large influx of rookie stars making their way into the top tier of Call of Duty esports, Breach needs results sooner rather than later, if they want to have any chance of qualifying for the World Championships this year.

A relationship years in the making

The takeover isn’t just a partnership that has been made overnight. OMiT and Boston Breach have a strong history of trading talent, serving as a ‘second team’ on many occasions. 

Back in 2024, the trio of Purj, Joseph “Owakening” Conley, and Cameron “Cammy” McKilligan were all recruited from OMiT to form Boston’s roster, with Cammy dropping back down in February this year to rejoin the Challengers side.

The team has seen players and even analysts pass between their doors for two years, and there might be a few familiar faces when OMiT’s staff come to work for Stage 3.

If any Challengers teams can make the step up and lead a CDL organisation, though, you’d put favour in the stock of OMiT.

Let’s not forget, this org has provided tier one Call of Duty with Mason “Mercules” Ramsey, Travis “Neptune” McCloud, Noah “Lunarz” Whillock, and countless other breakout stars.
