Adam “Adam9130” Ahmad has announced a new orgless team featuring Lukasz “MWLKY” Pachuki, Arkadiusz “Vegi” Nawojski, and a return to action for James “bevve” Slinn after his exit from Viperio in February. Along with his team-mate of three years William “dobbo” Dobson, Adam9130 has announced a change of name – the more optimistic “Into the Win” – and that the team will compete in ESL Challenger League Season 45 and are open to invitations for other tournaments.
New season, new lineup for ECL + more ✅
Into the Win: @mwlkycs@Vegi1337@Adam9130@dobbocs@bevvexyz

The news comes just days after bevve was announced as the new in-game leader for Danish side Sashi Esport, with whom he had been bootcamping as reported by UKCSGO and Dust2.dk last month. bevve did not elaborate on the matter on Twitter, but he did say he had “nothing bad to say about the org and players”. bevve left Viperio by mutual agreement in February after they qualified for the BLAST Paris RMR with stand-in Rory “cryths” Ursell.
He is joined by MWLKY & Vegi, Poles joining from the short-lived GENTLEFOLK project. MWLKY is an AWPer by trade and is part of FACEIT’s Gucci Gaming Academy, while despite being only 22 rifler Vegi has worn the jerseys of Virtus.Pro, PACT, Izako Boars and Illuminar Gaming among others. MWLKY and Vegi joined GENTLEFOLK after Anonymo Esports released their roster earlier this year following a series of disappointing results, and have primarily competed in Polish teams. The two were the highest-rated players on Anonymo before the roster was released, sporting a 1.10 and 1.08 average HLTV rating in 2023 respectively.
Into the Bin formed following Adam9130 and dobbo’s exit from Into the Breach, with Max “PANIX” Hangebruch, Andrew “Wolfie” Allan and Robin “robiin” Sjogren filling out the team. They made a strong start in ESL Challenger League defeating Permitta and Bluejays in a 2-0 fashion, but lost to K23 in the quarter-finals and were avenged by the Poles in a close lower bracket rematch, meaning they finished in 9th-12th place. They also managed to qualify for the RES Western Europe Masters through the Open Qualifier, where they beat FTW but lost twice to Endpoint resulting in a group stage exit.
Their biggest success was winning the UKIC CeX Spring Invitational, defeating fellow orgless side Royals 2-0 to win the first event of the season. Despite this, they lost PANIX and Wolfie in consecutive days after the event, with the latter saying his work schedule had become incompatible with the team. Lurker robiin has not yet announced his exit, but is not listed in the new lineup. Adam9130 has also invited any coaches interested in working with the team to contact him. They have already successfully qualified for ESL Premiership Relegation through the first Open Qualifier, though a 2-1 defeat by HEET means they will need to fight through the lower bracket of ESL Challenger League.
Into the Win are:
Adam “Adam9130” Ahmad
William “dobbo” Dobson
James “bevve” Slinn”
Lukasz “MWLKY” Pachuki
Arkadiusz “Vegi” Nawojski
