Jimi "Jimphat" Salo did not hide his disappointment: the sycrone coach sent him to the bench in the middle of the season, citing failure on the way to the Major final. “I still think it was a little stupid to be benched in the middle of the season because we didn’t make it to the final,” he was quoted as saying by HLTV. The player who replaced him ended up playing in similar positions, which the Finn considers an inconsistent decision. Even more painful is the story with the contract. In December 2024, Jimphat signed an extension after guarantees that the team's IPL would not change. Soon it was IGL who was removed from the squad. Still, Jimpphat appreciates that MOUZ agreed to a one-year contract without insisting on a longer commitment: it gave him the flexibility to make the transition. Jimpphat goes into Aurora with cautious optimism: new system, completely different environment. Finn admits that it will take time, but he is confident that the team has high potential.
