Mohammad "Jebus" Tokhi is set to join North American team Misfits, the team’s owner, Chris Badawi, tells theScore eSports. The move follows the departure of Misfits’ current AD Carry Ritchie “Intense” Ngo.

Jebus is an immense talent, to be sure. But the true appeal of him to misfits is his stellar reputation as a team player with an absolutely ridiculously kick-ass and positive attitude. He's the kind of guy you want speaking at your wedding (or funeral for that matter.). A kind, hard-working, good-natured friend who, for his part, has had trouble finding the perfect environment and support structure in eu - a misfit to the core there is really only one logical place for him to be. We are all just waiting for the visa gods (visa jebus?) to do their thing and I can't tell you how excited every one of us is to have him join our band of misfits. Go misfits! The prophet has spoken! Praise jebus! All hail the Russian mercenary!

Tokhi is highly regarded by many members of the European community and was previously in contention for the starting AD Carry spot of Gambit Gaming. Gambit has begun trialing with Pierre "Steeelback" Medjaldi after Misfits’ pick up of Tokhi.

Update 1: Gamers2 owner Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez Santiago has stated that Jebus is still under contract with Gamers2.

Jebus would indeed be a misfit in NA, 'cause he's still contracted to Gamers2. — oceloteWorld (@oceloteWorld) May 7, 2015

Misfits owner Chris Badawi denies Ocelote's statement:

I reached out to ocelote and never heard back. I know Jebus isn't and hasn't been getting paid - and a contract for services without payment is essentially slavery - it is unenforceable in every jurisdiction in the world. I'm a former lawyer and not easily intimidated by flaccid, limp and unsubstantiated contractual claims/threats. If a contract is legitimate and its terms honored in good faith by the controlling party I will respect it absolutely - this is unfortunately not the case here. Players deserve better. They deserve to be better treated, respected and valued - unfortunately many owners/management in this scene simply won't and don't. Jebus has a heart of gold and a truly good and decent soul. If any one deserves better than the scene currently has to offer, it's him.

Update 2:

Gamers2 have responded to Badawi's statement through a post on their web site. In it, they deny that Badawi had reached out to them before attempting to acquire Mohammad “Jebus” Tokhi.

In a statement to theScore esports, Misfits owner Chris Badawi denies G2 owner Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez’ claim that Jebus is currently contracted, basically saying that the legal agreement he currently has with Gamers2 is void, claiming that Gamers2 are essentially treating their players like slaves. For the record, we followed all the agreements we have in place with Jebus who received non-cash benefits and support as agreed on and signed by himself. It is the obligation of any professional team to double check for any existing agreements a player might have when an offer for said player is made. We can safely say that until today, neither our staff nor Carlos were contacted on any of the plentyful communication channels available in modern internet by any representative from Misfits regarding this matter. One would assume that a former lawyer and professional manager knows the means of how to get in touch if he sincerely tries to follow etiquette.

Gamers2 goes on to claim that Badawi only made an attempt to reach out to the team directly after they disputed Tokhi's eligibility earlier today.
