Ahgren made the announcement during Tarik “tarik” Celik’s VCT LOCK//IN Twitch stream. Ahgren also revealed the organization’s move on Twitter, disclosing that the buy cost US$500,000.

“The rumors are true! I spent $500k of charlie’s money on a valorant team,” the Moist Esports co-founder wrote.

He went on to introduce the entire Moist Moguls lineup, including the new coach. The squad includes ex-Ghost Gaming players Brock “brawk” Somerhalder and Alex “aproto” Protopapas as well as former TSM Academy player Tyler “sym” Porter, ex-Pioneers gamer Brady “thief” Dever, and former FaZe player Xavier “flyuh” Carlson.

Tanizhq “Tanizhq” Sabharwal was confirmed as the team’s head coach. Flyuh recently revealed that he had split ways with FaZe Clan and would need no buyout.

BreakThru performed impressively at the open qualifiers of the North American VALORANT Challengers League (NA VCL). The team qualified without losing a series and only dropped two maps in the process.

The newly renamed Moist Moguls are close to the bottom of their group in the NA Challengers. They hold a 1-1 record, having played only two games.

Since joining Moist Esports as a co-owner last month, Ahgren has hinted at the organization entering the Valorant scene. After Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang signed his Valorant squad, the North American Valorant community kept inquiring about Ahgren’s plans for the esports. The fellow content creator’s team also qualified for the NA Challengers.

During the off-season, Ahgren and tarik hosted a Valorant tournament. The event was held in Los Angeles and dubbed the Ludwig x Tarik Valorant Invitational. It featured four squads, two of which are VCT partners – T1 and Sentinels.

The new Valorant squad is Moist Esports’ fifth professional roster. They also have teams competing in Rocket League, Guilty Gear Strive, Apex Legends, and Super Smash Bros.

The Moguls will make their debut under the Moist Esports banner on February 27, when they will face off against Turtle Troop in the NA VCL Split 1.

Despite facing a formidable opponent in The Nation, who boasts a roster of notable competitive FPS players like Jacky ��Stewie2K�� Yip, Matthew ��Wardell�� Yu, and Braxton ��brax�� Pierce, BreakThru emerged victorious and secured the first open qualifier spot in the NA Valorant Challengers League. The team perceived to be the underdogs by esports betting sites has the unique distinction of being the first team to advance from the open qualifiers.

The BreakThru roster features a number of players who have participated in the VCT over the past couple of years for teams such as Ghose, FaZe, Luminosity, and TSM Academy. The roster includes Brady ��thief�� Dever, Alex ��aproto�� Protopapas, Brock ��brawk�� Somerhalder, Xavier ��flyuh�� Carlson, and Tyler ��sym�� Porter.

Throughout the 256-team qualifier, BreakThru didn’t lose a single series, and in the double-elimination portion of the bracket, they didn’t lose a single map until facing The Nation. However, on the first map of Fracture, they were defeated 13-1.

But this defeat did not break the team, and it was brawk who rallied the team with two straight top-of-the-scoreboard performances with Sova on both Haven (13-9) and Ascent (13-10). With this win, BreakThru’s spot in the NA Valorant Challengers League is guaranteed as the team looks to continue its momentum in the upcoming tournament which is scheduled to commence on February 1st.

On the other hand, The Nation’s loss means that the team will now move down to the lower bracket, and will have to win its next game to continue competing in the qualifier. Failure to do so will result in elimination from the qualifier and the team will have to regroup for the final last-chance qualifier next week. This defeat serves as a reminder that, despite its impressive roster, The Nation still has room for improvement and will need to work harder to secure a spot in the league.

Critics have said that BreakThru’s triumph is a reflection of the squad’s commitment and diligence and that the team is now poised to establish itself in the competition. Comprising of a blend of seasoned players and fresh faces, the franchise possesses the capability to make a powerful impression in the league. It will be intriguing to observe the team’s performance against the other teams in the league, and if BreakThru can maintain its ability to surprise and defy expectations as the underdogs.
