Despite being backed by Cr1tikal and later joined by streamer Ludwig, Moist Esports encountered hurdles when obtaining visas for their Australian players. Cr1tikal highlighted the team's forced release before an event due to visa complications, citing a lack of recognition from immigration officials regarding the team's achievements.

Additionally, according to reports, Australian players faced denials for ESTA visas, typically considered straightforward to obtain. Moist Esports' lawsuit underscores frustrations with the Department of Immigration's handling of esports-related visa matters, prompting a legal battle to address these challenges.
