Jimpphat to stand in for MOUZ NXT

22-3-2022 12:48

After their team went down to four members, MOUZ NXT have added the hotly-rated Finn to their roster as a stand-in.

MOUZ NXT have announced that Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo, the 15-year-old prodigy from Finland, will be standing in for their academy project in the wake of Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro's addition to the MOUZ main team in place of Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt.

The Finnish rifler, who is the brother of ex-ENCE player Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo, will have a chance to prove his worth to what is currently known as the most successful academy team, with the lineup winning all three of the WePlay Academy seasons so far. The youth program is also very successful with promoting members to the main team, with JDC and Ádám "⁠torzsi⁠" Torzsás making the step up in the last few months.

Jimpphat will be taking the place of JDC on the MOUZ NXT roster

Jimpphat has so far played only in Finnish rosters, with the most notable being SJ and his current team Conquer, predominantly competing in local tournaments such as Elisa Finland Open 1. He has been Conquer’s highest rated player with a 1.23 rating in the time the team has been together, with the team failing to reach wider international recognition.

Hold on right there. He's not there yet. Let the kid go to tier 1 and we'll see if he will be superstar of that team. Because does what Sergej does when he got to Ence, he is the star of the team. The next year he got into top 13 csgo htlv top 20 player of the year

Oh no, not because he’s fat. But his face looks really old, and he overall looks really old. I would have never guessed that Sergej is older, never. Sergej has this child face, looks super young. His brother looks much much older than he actually is.

It depends on the tournament, for Majors the VAC has to be 5 years old but for Blast for example it only has to be 2 years old (but he couldn't play blast anyways because he is not 16 yet). For weplay (even though I don't think they're doing events right now) it's 2 years as well

Unluko for MOUZ NKT, but ENCE will most likely has some kind of a arrangement with Jimpphat. He might already have pre-contract or something like that with ENCE. I'm not sure of course, but I would assume, because he is easily most talented player from Finland at the moment.
