In a heartbreaking turn of events, Moist Esports has been compelled to bid farewell to its Apex Legends roster following a tumultuous battle with US immigration. The announcement, made by their owner Charlie, widely known as “Moist Cr1TiKaL,” sent shockwaves through the esports community, leaving fans stunned.

Moist fam. It's not been a great week.

We are going to have to be forces to drop our Apex team due to VISAs. This is the opposite of cash money 😔

In a YouTube video titled “You’ve Never Seen Me This Mad,” Charlie elucidated the arduous journey the organization underwent in attempting to secure visas for their talented roster. Despite multiple attempts and the involvement of top legal representatives, their efforts were not met with good news, culminating in a denial.

The ordeal, as Charlie explained, saw the team repeatedly denied visas, with the window for resubmission closing rapidly. Even with the intervention of seasoned lawyers, the hurdles proved insurmountable, leaving Moist Esports with no recourse but to part ways with their Apex Legends lineup.

The repercussions of this decision reverberate not only within the organization but also across the competitive Apex Legends scene. Charlie expresses the players were under the “Moist Esports blanket” as part of the immigration process, but due to the denials, the next option was being forced to cut them from the team, for the sake of the players. It was expressed “we can’t do this again because we don’t have time. The major is right around the corner, so we are officially releasing the Moist Apex Squad.”

Despite the setback, the indomitable spirit of the former Moist Esports roster remains undimmed. Determined to showcase their skills, they have resolved to participate in the ALGS Split 1 Playoff, albeit under a different banner. Wxltzy, Emtee, & Gild are 3 highly determined players in the scene with the highest of expectations.

Wxltzy recently took to Twitter to confirm these claims

For everyone messaging me yes we have been released. No it was not moists fault nor any of ours this is just the only way we will be able to get into the US. Appreciate all the kind messages and @MoistEsports is still the greatest org on earth.💙🥲
