Moist Apex team denied US visas and forced to play pro league from Canada Joe Brady\/ ALGSTwo Apex Legends pros on Moist Esports\u2019 team have been denied entry into the United States and will have to start pro league playing from Canada, according to organization owner Charles \u2018MoistCr1TiKaL\u2019 White Jr. Moist Esports announced it was changing regions and keeping mostly the same roster in October 2023. The change puts the team in an incredibly competitive region and also brings the squad closer to the North American-based organization. Moist placed top 10 at the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs and top 20 at the ALGS Championship in 2023. However, the org has hit a road bump on the path toward playing in the United States, as MoistCr1TiKaL said on stream that both Matthew \u2018Emtee\u2019 Trengove and Ben \u2018Wxltzy\u2019 Walton have been denied entry into the country. Moist Esports Apex squad denied entry into US The esports organization owner, MoistCr1TiKaL, said on a YouTube live stream that the players were assigned an \u201cout of touch\u201d visa agent. \u201cOur guy didn\u2019t understand the space,\u201d MoistCr1TiKaL said. He claimed their agent didn\u2019t understand how people could play video games professionally, and also said he didn\u2019t believe the players were on a top 20 team in the world. MoistCr1TiKaL said they submitted their placement, along with an explanation that Apex is an esports game and has a circuit. The agent still denied the claim. \u201cYou can literally Google it. It takes two seconds to look at Moist Esports\u2019 like global Apex rankings and our finishes in the Majors and the World Championship,\u201d he said. The owner said that his players will now be playing in the online league from Canada and that he will have to figure out accommodations for the squad. The organization will be re-applying for visas, however, the process will take longer than two weeks, which is about when the league kicks off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
