Moist Esports, the US esports organisation with two UK Rocket League players, have won the most recent Europe Regional Event.
They beat Team BDS 4-2 in the final of the RLCS 2021-22 Spring Europe Regional Event 3 on the weekend, also known as the Super 16 tournament.
Moist beat Solary, Team Liquid and UK esports organisation Endpoint to reach the final. And by reaching the upper bracket final, Endpoint qualified for the Rocket League RLCS London Major and the World Championship.
Moist have also qualified for both tournaments. They have UK Rocket League players Joyo and Rise, as well as French player Vatira on the roster, and UK coach Noah. This roster was previously with Team Queso, who finished runners-up at the RLCS Winter Major recently, with UK player Rise breaking a goals record.
UK player Joyo said after the win: “Finally had a decent series myself, my teammates are so good, Regional champs – let’s go! I love my team.”
Rise said the Endpoint game was ‘way too close’, and added after the grand final win: “Champions of Europe, let’s go!”
Vatira added:
It’s the first Regional event win for Moist Esports, who will be looking for even bigger and better things with their talented roster in the future.
Moist Esports were founded last year by popular US YouTuber Cr1TiKaL, and they also field players in the fighting game community (FGC) in titles like Smash Bros.
Last month, tickets for the 2022 Rocket League London Major went on sale. The event – also known as ‘LANdon’ – will take place at the Copper Box Arena from June 29th to July 3rd, with fans able to attend on the final two days.
Then, looking ahead to the RLCS World Championship, this will take place at the Dickies Arena in Texas from August 4th to 14th.
