Moist esports teams

Shopify Rebellion and Moist Esports, the esports organization owned by content creator stars Charles “Cr1TiKaL” White Jr. and Ludwig “Ludwig” Ahgren, have fully merged under the Shopify banner. Both Cr1TiKaL and Ludwig are now co-owners of Shopify Rebellion.The two organizations have partnered together in recent years, but now move forward together as one.Shopify Rebellion and Moist Esports Fully Join ForcesIn addition to Cr1TiKaL and Ludwig joining Rebellion as co-owners, the organization will use some of Moist Esports’ branding (including the droplet mascots) and absorb the esports divisions competing under the Moist banner. All the Moist divisions will compete as Shopify Rebellion moving forward.Moist Esports was founded by Cr1TiKaL in 2021, with the YouTube star jumping into the expansive fighting game community (FGC) first before entering Rocket League and Apex Legends a year later. Ludwig joined Moist as a co-owner in 2023, spear-heading the organization’s entry into VALORANT. Later that year, Ludwig announced that Moist and Shopify would partner together to run a VALORANT NA Challengers roster, which competed under the name MxS.Both Cr1TiKaL and Ludwig have been very forthcoming and public about the costs of running an esports organization. Back in 2021, Cr1TiKaL told his audience plainly that he was running Moist Esports at a loss. When the organization entered VALORANT, Ludwig said that entering the scene cost roughly “$500,000 of Charlie’s money.”With Moist and Shopify Rebellion now merged, the Rebels now field several different esports rosters. “Coming together allows us to field more and stronger teams, invest deeper for fans, and provide more to our players,” wrote Shopify Rebellion founder, Jeremy Steeves. Shopify Rebellion fields the following esports rosters:Two VALORANT teams (including the two-time defending Game Changers champions)A League of Legends roster in the newly rebranded LoL Americas conference (formerly in the LCS)An Apex Legends rosterA Halo roster in

During the announcement of MoistCr1TiKaL and Ludwig merging Moist Esports with Shopify Rebellion, the YouTuber spilled the beans on just how much money he’s lost in esports over the past few years.Much like Disguised Toast, most creators who get into esports don’t expect to make an actual profit off of the team itself. While creators can leverage esports teams as a way to make new content and earn money through other avenues, the teams themselves are often a money sink.Moist Esports was no different, and Charlie disclosed just how much money he’s lost in running Moist over the years now that he’s officially a part of Shopify Rebellion.Despite the team having genuine success in several esports and becoming world-renowned in games like Rocket League and Apex Legends, they never made any money. In fact, they were operating at a loss. A big one.The Moist Esports financial situation is crazyConsidering that Moist Esports and Shopify Rebellion had worked together in the past, this merger isn’t a huge surprise. The groundwork was already laid for a partnership, though Charlie and Ludwig now having part ownership in one of the biggest esports orgs in the world is huge news nonetheless.MoistCr1TiKaL even revealed that Shopify Rebellion “saved our bacon” in relation to helping them out in both Valorant and Apex, giving them a lifeline when they didn’t have the money or resources to overcome certain obstacles keeping them from competing.So, how much money did this org actually lose?“Over the last 4 years, I have lost, in total, right around $4.2 million dollars across all the games we’ve competed in across all of these years. And you know what? I’d do it all over again. In fact, I’d continue to do it.”RelatedMoistCr1TiKaL didn’t say anything about how he or Ludwig plan to profit from this venture. He’s in it for the love of the game by his account, driven purely by passion to keep the esports scene alive and be an active participant.With this merger, these two creators now partially own teams in Valorant, League of Legends, DOTA 2, Street Fighter, Rainbow 6, Rocket League, and other esports. The team’s reach is massive, with Charlie claiming that some of these esports would have been a “pipe dream” at best for him to be able to participate in.Many of 2025’s biggest esports have yet to kick off, so it remains to be seen if Shopify Rebellion

Charlie ‘MoistCr1TiKal’ White, stream content creator and esports organization owner, has revealed he has been forced to drop the Moist Esports Apex Legends roster due to repeated U.S. visa denials so the mostly Australian lineup can compete at the 2024 ALGS Split 1 LAN.Moist Esports first encountered trouble with their visa status at the start of the season as the Australian players were denied entry into the United States to compete in the North American ALGS. Moist was the only team impacted by the country’s immigration office and was forced to play the online league from Canada.At the time, MoistCri1TiKal slammed the government and said that their immigration agent working on their claim was out of touch with gaming and didn’t understand esports.The team’s problems didn’t end there, however. The team owner revealed in a YouTube video that despite repeated attempts to get the players their papers to be in the country, and bringing in expert lawyers and executives from EA to work on their case, their paperwork has not been approved.“Even with the goddamn Avengers on our side, U.S. immigration slams the door in our face… They’re Australian gamers, we are not trying to sneak in Viltromite aliens. What is the issue,” MoistCri1TiKal said in the video.Timestamp: 1:32The team had so much support from EA because Moist is one of the best pro Apex Legends teams in the world, and earned one of the top seeds from North America at the ALGS Split 1 Major. However, to be able to compete at the Los Angeles tournament the players will need to be unaffiliated with Moist Esports and compete in the country on different visas.RelatedMoistCri1TiKal said his organization worked with multiple other esports orgs to help move the visa process along and said that their agent gave little feedback on why their attempts kept getting declined or how to fix their applications.The owner proposed a theory that the team was denied due to the organization’s name, and how it could have made those working at the government uncomfortable.“It might be the only reason we were rejected. At U.S. immigration it falls onto your particular agent. It is entirely their discretion whether or not you are allowed into the country with whatever you are submitting or doing… It is highly possible, and according to some lawyers, not unusual for them to decline things on very trivial reasoning,” he said.The creator also said that the agent never outright said the team name was an issue because it would be “embarrassing” to have that in writing.“The ice cream machines at McDonalds work better than the U.S. immigration process,” MoistCri1TiKal blasted.The now-former Moist players said they will be at the Los Angeles tournament in time to compete and that the organization is one of the “greatest” they have worked with.
