BOROS buys himself out of JiJieHao to join free agency

The Jordanian player is on the lookout for a new team.

BOROS is no longer tied to JiJieHao after paying his own buyout

Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas has announced that he has paid his buyout from JiJieHao and has become a free agent, splitting with the team he signed for in February.

JiJieHao made it to the ESL Pro League and PGL Astana closed qualifiers during BOROS' time on the team, but failed to reach the tournaments, and had LAN outings at MESA Asian Masters, MESA Nomadic Masters, and Hero Esports Asian Champions League with two fourth-place finishes as the best results.

s1mple joins Falcons on loan; BOROS benched

After leaving Falcons in July 2024, where BOROS was benched in a team that misfired its way to an overhaul, he had a stint with Into the Breach until October before joining JiJieHao for half a year. Now, the Jordanian is back on the market.

"I am looking to join another team to grind with and achieve good things I am so motivated," BOROS posted on X, while also thanking his JiJieHao teammates for their time together.

JiJieHao is now:

Jordan Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad
Lebanon Hussein "⁠m1N1⁠" Hijazi
Iraq Bebu "⁠Bibu⁠" Aadil
Palestine Osama "⁠0SAMAS⁠" Orabi

Poland Mariusz "⁠Loord⁠" Cybulski (coach)

Ax1Le was a top5 player for 2 years in a row, I wouldn't say Ax1Le fell THAT fast. BOROS has never been as talented as Ax1Le and nowhere near his prime.

BOROS went up because of his raw talent. He always had a lazy attitude and wasn't serious in teams. It was first shown in a Monte interview, then he went to Falcons, but man was coming late to practice, complaining about his mouse during the game (lovely VLOG by the way). And other things probably. If he had a good mindset he would still be in Falcons alongside NiKo and m0nesY in my opnion, he had the raw talent for it, but he isn't the profile for it. He can only go so high with his mindset, his peak was Monte / Falcons, either he works on himself or he can only stay in MENA teams or lower end T3 teams who'll kick him when there is a better team player out there.

If you had a lot of money, would you throw away 50k for no reason? He could've just announced in twitter that "hey I'm looking for options and buy the buyout after he found a team, and get paid while on the bench". Now he just paid it for shits and giggles. Not sure what kind of money you're used to, but 50k is a lot of money

I bet he doesn't care. That's been the trademark of his career. But if he is a millionaire that definitely came as a result outside of his CS career (his time in Monte and summer gig at falcons) All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he had 51k on his bank account and he used 50k for a stupid buyout

chad move? Braindead move. Look at him not getting a team and not getting paid for a while after spending his own money. This would be understandable if he had another team already, but just to say "I'm free, contact me"? and why now that the season has started? Look at Stanislaw. He announced he'll be exploring options before getting benched, and now he still earning some money while trying to find a new job.

ok and you're his accountant? maybe he doesn't care about money as much as you do

4 replies
I don't need to be his accountant to understand that being orgless by paying your buyout means: - No salary - minus the amount of money you paid to go free. By default, he lost money with that decision Even if you are in a position where you don't care about money, if you want to maintain it, you have to make smart decisions. Rich people stay rich because of their financial decisions. This is another proof of boros being a loose canon. P.S: From a game point, how are you going to prove to other teams you deserve better if you're not playing?

Sounds like something you read in a get rich quick book. ruining your career by staying too long in a dead team and fading into irrelevancy is worse than taking your chances with new opportunities.

Doesn't matter even if BOROS was a millionaire. What the other guy is trying to say is that you can sit on a bench and get paid, while looking for a team. And if he gets one, THEN buy the buyout. What he did was dumb no matter how you look at it, if he doesn't have a new team ready.
