Moist Esports had the opportunity to vie for the top spot and bag the $2 million prize pool. However, the organization has decided that they won’t be competing in the event.
Moist Esports will not be attending the GWB Lan in Saudi Arabia. To simply put it i will not be associating with a country that does not recognise LGBTQ+ people as human beings.
I think it’s important to put my morals and beliefs over money
