chrisJ leaves FunPlus Phoenix, suNny joins as stand-in

1/3/2021 - 16:10

The team has decided to go another way after negotiations with Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong fell through.

chrisJ's loan period with FunPlus Phoenix has come to an end, the organization has announced. The team has added Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi as a stand-in ahead of their campaign in ESL Pro League Season 13, which will take place on March 8-April 11.

"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," FunPlus Phoenix's General Manager, Petar Marković, said in a statement. "We would like to wish Chris best of luck in his future endeavors."

chrisJ returns to mousesports' bench

chrisJ had only been a part of FPX for a little over a month, after he joined the team as the new in-game leader in a loan deal from mousesports while negotiations over his permanent transfer and individual contract took place. Albeit short, the Dutchman's stay with the European roster was successful, as FunPlus Phoenix placed second to Spirit in DreamHack Open January and won Snow Sweet Snow 1 over Gambit in a span of two weeks.

suNny joins FPX on a stand-in basis after he last made headlines in mid-February, when he was released from his contract with ENCE following the Finnish organization's decision to overhaul the team and shift to an international project.

The 26-year-old had been linked with a move to the FPX roster once before when they were still part of GODSENT late last year, before the Finn tried to build a new team alongside Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist and Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta. Those plans ended up falling through earlier this year as a result of a lack of interest from established organizations, with the American player switching to VALORANT shortly after, but suNny has since stated that he remained open to linking up with flusha.

FunPlus Phoenix will field the following lineup in ESL Pro League Season 13:

Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala
Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković
Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk
Asger "⁠Farlig⁠" Jensen
Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi (stand-in)

Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg (coach)

Best of luck in the future godJ! hltv.org/forums/threads/2424441/og-fpx 2/2 today VAMOS!

From this I got the idea that it was actually ChrisJ who didnt want to go to FPX? Mouse were happy to let Chris go on loan so I cant see why they wouldnt extend the loan period to FPX. Also FPX have a decent financial backing so doubt that was the issue. Not to mention Mouse terminated Karrigans contract rather than running it out. I really dont think this is mouse being greedy

2021-03-01 16:38

Maybe chris asked too much (salary)

no rent was only on 1 month, fpx want to sign , but mouz asked for ChrisJ 1.5 m $ wich fpx wont agrement, and mouz planned to take chris back to the roaster

2021-03-01 18:33

Broken english for the win. Also source?

2021-03-01 18:35

source - stykos stream but you will not probably understand and also karrigan told that mouz asked too much for chris ... its known that chris is expensive player to buy and hold ...

2021-03-08 13:55

do you have clip? Styko or karrigan?

2021-03-08 13:59

well it depends on how much chrisJ buyout is, but why wouldnt he wanna join fpx, they got the finals at dh january and won the next event

2021-03-01 16:42

"Unfortunately, we could not make a mutual agreement with chrisJ that works for both parties on time" They didnt kick him, its either that after the 2 finals chrisJ overrated himself or that FPX wanted to nickel and dime him and get him for dirt cheap.

#42

2021-03-01 16:15

Prolly wanted too much money or a long contract. It says they couldnt come to a mutual agreement . He is getting older and prolly wont be that good long term.

Yeah I didn't read at first and commented but still wtf

prob asking same amount of money what he got in mouse. sadly he wont ever get new home anymore.

2021-03-01 16:23

LMAO change your flair already

I will

he was stand in so expected

nooo :((( sad moment

-chrisj + Chrisj is happening again

rip

NUCLEAR POWER!!!

he was a stand in so expected

Expected

No ChrisJ no ESL pro league win

his individual performance was very bad, but still they played well

time for sunny to ruin another team POG

flag checks out suNny is one of the best swedish riflers and with zehn dynamic duo activated they will be top 2 EU in months

lol i'm just memeing, ence were a dead team from the beginning after they kicked aleksib but wasn't sunny's fault, and his form was insane in 2018 i believe.

im meming too they will prolly be like top 15-20 max

not expecting much from them too considreing CIS csgo is cheater

2021-03-04 15:35

isn’t sunny finnish

So Sunny is gonna igl?

yes he is best finnish igl

for time being he might be igl. He was second caller when chris was IGL in mouz.

so... whos gonna IGL? I hope not SuNny.

you mean SuNny the best Finnish IGL?

He never meant to be IGL in ence but was forced to do it because allu couldnt do it. He still did "decent" job as IGL but i wouldnt want him IGL anymore, hes not made for it.

He is decent "second" caller we saw that in mouz but him being main IGL is not ideal

styko? or maybe zehn

ZehN is pretty smart individual so i feel like he should be IGL. He has also said in interview that in future he could be good coach with all his knowledge and experience.

I think Devilwalk will call for 1 event, idk

I think it's going to be a joint effort of styko, zehn, sunny with help of devilwalk

2021-03-01 16:40

Wtf lmao. They keep downgrading. Emi>ChrisJ>sunny

Thanks! Now i didnt have to type it! Emi was great for them in every way. Why do they add players based on their history/name instead of who’s what they need

FPX probably dont want emi. My guess is they dont want emi for the same reason they didnt want krystal, he isnt "household" name because so far FPX targeted known names as fifth. You know players that people know.

2021-03-01 16:46

Exactly as i wrote? Lol? :b

2021-03-01 16:55

I know but i kinda disagree with the "what they need" part. FPX knows they need IGL they just have signed more known "IGLs" even tho they are best thing for the team. Something like faze were doing after karrigan kick.

2021-03-01 16:57

So u don’t think that they should go by ”what they need”? U think they’re right about adding bigger names which provides 0 to the actual game play?

2021-03-01 18:36

I dont think you are getting my point. It doesnt provide 0 to the actual gameplay. Its like they have the correct idea they just arent making the best decision avilable. They arent making the worst decision but they arent doing the best decision. Also sunny is standin

2021-03-01 18:41

I can agree to that part, but seriosuly, they looked sooo goood while haveing emi as their leader. I still feel like he was the perfect piece to the team.

2021-03-01 18:44

Firepower at it again)))

Wtf?

expected from chrisj ego, dutch bot retire

2021-03-01 16:19

Rip the wolf of wallstreet

Ooooof

Retirement incoming

-IGL +firepower works every time

LMAO

2021-03-01 16:31

They clearly said its temporary. Also sunny may not even be IGLing. Both zehn and styko do have XP to call and sunny is capable second caller.

2021-03-01 16:48

No need for igl if enemy is dead

2021-03-01 17:04

mouz +chrisj 6th player letsgooo!

wtf why chrisJ destroy his career

Wow, they should of paid him. Only reason they made it anyway. Crazy

2021-03-01 16:51

Its a good deal for mouz, if dexter flops on EPL, they might want to rethink doing the +Chrisj on the roster. At best he will bring some results, at worst he'll be the same as Dexter.

2021-03-01 16:54

ChrisJ to Valolrant

2021-03-01 18:02

wtf just get Xizt

Good that chrisJ is gone, he is medicore. suNny isn't better either, he is not going to stay there for to long I would assume. But GL to him and the team.

2021-03-01 18:03

so what flair do i use now

2021-03-01 18:04

faze

2021-03-01 18:49

Well, it is reasonable not to spend money on him. He might have been a decent addition if being a free agent.

2021-03-01 18:17

2021-03-02 08:36

ChrisJ was perfect for them. Stupid from both parties... But yeah maybe Mouz was the bottleneck???
