Purj, who joined the team in July 2024, had been a steady presence in the lineup through multiple roster iterations. However, after back-to-back disappointing stages, Boston is opting for a full reset in the SMG department, looking to establish a new duo as they prepare for the second half of the season.

The decision follows the surprise benching of Eric "Snoopy" Pérez, signaling a clear shift in direction for the Breach as they search for a more cohesive and aggressive identity. With two strong ARs on the roster, Boston is expected to explore multiple SMG options to complement them ahead of the Stage III qualifiers.
