March 2022 marked a turning point for Jimpphat as he transitioned from the Finnish scene to the global stage, becoming a member of MOUZ NXT. Displaying remarkable consistency, he achieved an impressive 1.18 rating across nearly 300 maps and emerged as the key player in MOUZ NXT's victory in the CCT 5 North Europe 5 event.

Jimpphat departs from NXT with a notable WePlay Academy League championship under his belt, solidifying his place among the ranks of numerous NXT graduates who have successfully transitioned to the first team.

Jimpphat continues the tradition established by his teammates Ádám “⁠torzsi⁠” Torzsás, Dorian “⁠xertioN⁠” Berman, and Kamil “⁠siuhy⁠” Szkaradek, all whom made the transition from MOUZ NXT to the senior team. The latter, however, had joined GamerLegion before coming back to the German side. Jon “⁠JDC⁠” de Castro, whom Jimphat is replacing, is also a MOUZ NXT graduate.
