Biography
Jimi “Jimpphat” Joonas Salo (born September 9, 2006, in Finland) is a Finnish professional Counter‑Strike 2 rifler currently representing mousesports (MOUZ). At just 18 years old, Jimpphat has rapidly risen to prominence as one of Finland’s brightest esports talents, earning recognition for his aggressive firepower, solid clutch stats, and consistent impact in Tier‑1 competition.
