Watch the full interview in the video below.
Mindset versus a dangerous underdog
While MOUZ’ results this season has not been what they wanted, they still went into the match against M80 as heavy favorites and jimpphat knew it.
“We knew that we are a better team… they are kind of like the dark horse.”
MOUZ arrived confident without underestimating M80’s recent form. The plan was to play their own game, reset after setbacks, and let structure show on the decider, which it did on Inferno with cleaner team play and tempo control.
Fixing Mirage and finding the next level
“On the T side we gave so many entries… we played really poor.”
He puts Mirage down to early picks conceded and too many 4v5s, plus a lapse in personal focus. The team understands what they need to do different: review why openings were lost, stop giving free entries, and tighten fundamentals. On his form, he is direct about the standard.
“I just need to step it up a little bit.”
Even so, he points to MOUZ’s consistency as proof of their ceiling. A small personal uptick and tidier starts can turn tight series into trophies.
