MOUZ Part Ways With Jimpphat After Four Years Together

MOUZ have announced the departure of Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo. The Finnish player is no longer under contract with the organization he represented for more than four years — first in the MOUZ NXT academy and later on the main roster.

Jimpphat joined the club’s youth system in May 2022. In July 2023, he was promoted to the first team. During that time, the Finn developed from a promising newcomer into one of the most consistent players on the European roster.

Jimpphat had been on the bench since April 2026. At the time, MOUZ began a major rebuild following a disappointing start to the season, during which the team regularly reached the late stages of tournaments but was unable to compete for championship titles. Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin was also removed from the starting lineup at the same time.

During his years with MOUZ, Jimpphat won a WePlay Academy League trophy with MOUZ NXT. After moving to the main team, he became a two-time ESL Pro League champion and also won BetBoom Dacha and PGL Cluj-Napoca.

One of the Finn’s biggest individual achievements was being named among HLTV’s top 20 players of 2024. Jimpphat finished 17th in the final ranking. His average rating during his time on MOUZ’s main roster was 1.10.
