Moist Esports is Suing US Immigration

Moist Esports has announced it is filing a lawsuit against the United States Department of Immigration over recent issues regarding visas for the organization's Apex Legends team. The aptly-named Moist Esports was first founded in 2021 by popular YouTuber MoistCr1tikal, boasting players from a variety of different esports. While Cr1tikal was the sole owner of the team initially, fellow streamer Ludwig would later join Moist Esports, even helping the organization to sign a Valorant team. Now, however, a recent issue with the Apex Legends team is seeing the organization going to bat against the U.S. government.
While Moist Esports isn't one of the largest organizations in esports, the team has seen success across several of its represented games. Moist Esports' Rocket League team has often established itself as a top contender within the sports game, even winning a Rocket League Championship Series Major tournament in 2022.

Within the video, Cr1tikal cited the poor faith arguments from the immigration agent, suggesting that the team «wasn't as highly ranked» as it claims. Cr1tikal cites that Moist Esports was forced to release the team before the event due to the visa issues, in order for the team to be able to play in the event. The Australian players' were also denied ESTA visas by the Department of Immigration, one that Cr1tikal cited as notoriously easy to acquire.
While Cr1tikal largely focused on the plight of the team, he also took aim at the Department of Immigration's handling of the issue. Cr1tikal cited that Moist Esports' lawyers were equally confused by the process, suggesting that the agent handling the case may have made major errors. He also suggested that «corruption is built into» the United States Constitution, with Moist Esports unable to receive any payments from their lawsuit. Cr1tikal stated that the main purpose of Moist Esports' lawsuit is to get the visa rejections for its Apex Legends team overturned.
Moist Esports' bold lawsuit regarding its Apex Legends team comes as the game gears up for the launch of its newest competitive season. Apex Legends has officially revealed Alter as its newest character, featuring a unique moveset based around manipulating terrain and the battlefield. Season 21 will also see major changes made to the game's
