Moist X Shopify has been a prominent force in North American challengers. After being signed midway through 2023, they quickly ascended to a top team in the league. However, come playoffs, they would be eliminated in third place by the two eventual Ascension finalists, missing the tournament by just one game. In 2024, MXS were strong contenders for Ascension, once again proving themselves as a top team throughout the year. For a second time though, they could not maintain their success into playoffs, and once again were eliminated in third place, missing Ascension by the exact same margin two years in a row.
After elimination, the roster was scattered to the winds, leaving brawk as the sole returning member. In his third year under the Moist banner, he will be joined by a wealth of fellow tier two prospects. BcJ is the most experienced among them, having attended Champions with XSET XSET Inactive in 2022, as well as reaching Ascension finals with M80 M80 Inactive . Spaz and Paincakes were both a part of playoff caliber teams in North America's 2024 Challengers league, while Pa1nt was given a brief taste of VCT as a stand-in for MIBR MIBR Brazil Rank #20 mazin Matheus Araújo artzin Arthur Araujo Palla Davi Alcides rich Gabriel Rosa liazzi Felipe Galiazzi .
MXS will debut their new roster in Stage 3 of the North American Challengers league on November 22.
