Moist Esports sues US Immigration over Apex Legends roster Visa troubles YouTube: Penguinz0Charlie, AKA MoistCr1TiKaL, has announced that he and Moist Esports are suing US Immigration over the way Visas for his Apex Legends roster were handled. MoistCr1TiKaL has been vocal in his disdain for the US Immigration office and his difficulties with getting his Moist Apex Legends roster into LA. With the ALGS Year 4 Split 1 Playoffs happening in-person, getting his team into the US was essential. He was able to skirt difficulties with US Immigration during qualifiers by bringing his players into Canada to play online, but he was eventually unable to avoid their Visa into the US being denied. In order for the team to apply for another Visa, he had to drop the roster, which comes with a whole host of issues. As a result, MoistCr1TiKaL and Moist Esports as a whole are suing the US Immigration office. \u201cWe, Moist Esports, are suing US Immigration. We talked with our lawyers, and they agreed that this is very mysterious how it ever even got to this point. It seems that there are quite a few no-nos that were committed here, and some protocol that wasn\u2019t followed, a lot of big red flags, big problems,\u201d Charlie claimed in his video on the topic. Additionally, though he\u2019s used a thinly veiled \u201cNot Moist Esports\u201d moniker for the team, they still aren\u2019t technically represented by him. Moist Esports lose any cut of the winnings and aren\u2019t allowed to work with the team as they\u2019d like, resulting in financial losses. Despite this, the team still has a ton of affection for him and Moist Esports and how they\u2019ve helped the team despite taking financial losses to do so, as explained by Wxltzy in a post-game interview. \u201cJust big love, man. Cannot stress enough how accommodating he has been for us. Genuinely, everyone at Moist has been a rock for us. This was a very stressful situation, and they\u2019ve done the absolute most for us. I can\u2019t say thank you enough.\u201d Despite the team itself doing well at the ALGS LAN, Moist Esports isn\u2019t likely to see direct money from that success. This whole debacle has cost the organisation a lot, according to Charlie\u2019s claims. Though, as he\u2019d go on to explain, it isn\u2019t possible to claim damages within the lawsuit against US Immigration. \u201cYou know what I\u2019ve learned through this lawsuit process? It turns out that there is corruption built into the US Constitution itself where, even if we\u2019re successful in beating US Immigration in this lawsuit, they cannot pay us out any damages. In which there has been a lot,\u201d MoistCr1TiKaL asserted. \u201cThis has been a super expensive process, and there\u2019s also so much lost income here because there\u2019s so much money on the line for the tournament, as well as so many potential eyes on our organization, as well as all of the legal fees. There\u2019s so much money that went into this, all of which was just burned thanks to US Immigration f***ing us.\u201d He went on to call out the way the entire office works, outright blaming the agent responsible for his players\u2019 case for \u201cmishandling\u201d it and claiming he was, \u201cstunned by how deep and rotten the system is. It is so f***ing broken. It is a joke.\u201d Despite all this and his players having to make multiple lengthy flights through this process \u2013 leaving them \u201cunable to practice for weeks\u201d according to Charlie\u2019s account \u2013 the Moist Esports squad is cleaning up house at the ALGS LAN. Though he doesn\u2019t expect the lawsuit to do anything but overturn the initial ruling against his players, he\u2019s going through it anyways, and has confirmed that the proceedings for this suit are already well underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
