The 16-year-old Jimi ”Jimpphat” Salo has been promoted to MOUZ’s main team after a 16-month tenure on MOUZ NXT, making him the fourth player on the current MOUZ roster to have made the jump from the academy team.
The talented Finn is the younger brother of the former ENCE star and Major Grand Finalist Jere “sergej” Salo, who doesn’t play competitive Counter-Strike at the moment.
Extreme youth
The signing of Jimpphat is MOUZ’s second transfer this off-season as they also have brought in the highly-desired and former MOUZ NXT captain Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek earlier this month.
That means MOUZ now field a roster with an unheard-of average age of 19.8 years. By far the lowest among all the top-tier organizations, and is just a clear testament to their extraordinary scouting and development of CS:GO talents.

Succesful coach to lead the pack
