Jimpphat: “It amazes me that people always try to find someone to blame after just one bad match.”
Aurora Gaming rifler Yimi “Jimpphat” Salo posted on his personal X page, commenting on his team’s loss to 9z Team at the Thunderpick World Championship 2026 and sharing his thoughts on the community’s reaction to the team’s setbacks.
Bad days happen. We lost to 9z Team 0–2. Thanks for the game!
They just wiped the floor with us. We need to pull ourselves together and focus on the next matches.
It amazes me that people always try to find someone to blame after just one loss. Get a grip! We win and lose together. Sooner or later, we’ll come back stronger.
Aurora Gaming lost to 9z Team in the group stage of the 2026 Thunderpick World Championship, but then went on to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas. Tomorrow, the team will face the South American squad again—the winner of the match will advance to the tournament’s playoffs.
