'''Moist Esports''' is an esports organization run by YouTuber {{Sm|Cr1TiKaL}}. The team was created on August 11th, 2021, with {{Sm|Kola}} being their first player. The team currently consists of five members, four of which being smash players.
'''Moist Esports''' ('''Moist''') was an esports organization ran by popular [[Twitch]] streamer and YouTuber {{Sm|Cr1TiKaL}} and co-owned by fellow streamer and YouTuber {{Sm|Ludwig}}.

When {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 3}} was announced, Cr1TiKaL made sure Kola would get into the event by campaigning and buying votes in Smash Ultimate Summit 3.

Moist Esports (Moist) was an esports organization ran by popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber Cr1TiKaL and co-owned by fellow streamer and YouTuber Ludwig. The team was created on August 11th, 2021 and was originally intended to fund Kola's campaign for Smash Ultimate Summit 3.[1] However, due to the popularity of Cr1TiKaL and the recruitment of other popular top players such as moky and Light, Moist Esports quickly became one of the most recognizable teams in the Smash scene.

On January 25th, 2023, Ludwig joined as a co-owner and later established his branch of the team, Moist Moguls (MxM), with the team signing Zain on April 6th, 2023 and moky joining the branch afterwards. This branch was dissolved on September 30th of the same year after Ludwig merged the team with Valorant team Shopify Rebellion, while the team's signed players were absorbed into the main team. Moist Esports eventually merged with Shopify Rebellion on January 17th, 2025, with the majority of Moist's Smash roster joining the new team. Cr1TiKaL cited the expensive cost of running an esports team and complications with their Apex Legends team's visas (which Cr1TiKaL and his lawyers surmised the organization's name featuring "moist" was one of the major reasons) as the reasons for the merger.[2]
