chrisJ part ways with FunPlus Phoenix - suNny as stand-in

Negotiations fell through with "chrisJ" despite recent success

Chris "chrisJ" de Jong's loan period has come to an end. Failing to reach an agreement that suits both parties, the organization of FunPlus Phoenix has announced that the 30-year-old AWP'er will no longer be competing as part of their roster. Instead, however, they have confirmed a stand-in for "chrisJ" by the name of Miikka "sunNy" Kemppi, who will be competing in the FPX roster in their campaign in ESL Pro League Season 13. FunPlus Phoenix and "sunNy" will have the chance to prove themselves when the new ESL Season starts on the 8 of March.

After agreeing to a loan deal, "chrisJ" made the move from Mousesports to FPX to be their new in-game leader. The new roster of FunPlus Phoenix showed great promise from the beginning and managed to secure a second-place in DreamHack Open January, as well as winning Snow Sweet Snow 1 ahead of Gambit. It is therefore rather surprising that "chrisJ" is returning to the bench of Mousesports. The General Manager of FunPlus Phoenix states the following in regards to the situation:

"Unfortunately, we could not make a mutual agreement with chrisJ that works for both parties on time, and that's why we decided to try out another player..."

This player goes by the name of "suNny" and is by no means a novice player. The 26-year-old has had experience at the highest levels of professional Counter-Strike, competing under ENCE's banner when they peaked. Having been released from the Finnish organization, however, he is without any doubt one of the most talented and experienced free agents currently available on the transfer market. He will be put to the test as he re-enters the Counter-Strike scene, this time under the FunPlus Phoenix banner.

With "suNny" as a stand-in, the FunPlus Phoenix roster currently looks as follows:

Jesse "zehN" Linjala

Martin "STYKO" Styk

Pavle "Maden" Bošković

Asger "Farlig" Jensen

Miikka "sunNy" Kemppi
