YouTuber And Game Tournament Host Ludwig Ahgren Becomes Co-Owner In Fast-Rising Esports Organization Moist Esports

The former Twitch star turned YouTube Gaming juggernaut Ludwig Ahgren has made a big move many saw coming, but was still somewhat unexpected. Earlier today, it was announced that Ludwig was entering into a partnership with Cr1tikal to become a co-owner in his pro-gaming organization, Moist Esports.

For Ludwig, who previously announced his intent in November to focus more on esports and tournament hosting, this seems like a natural step in his continued involvement to plant himself deeper into the growing esports scene.

Despite the knowledge of how esports teams are known for being massive money pits, in his announcement video for the partnership, Charlie made it well aware that he'll continue putting money into the organization even if it doesn't prove possible, causing many others to believe that as long as the Moist and Mogul Moves brands remain strong, the organization is guaranteed to endure when others face troubles.

Bro LudWig and Charlie owning Moist Esports?? @MoistEsports Is going to take over

To your first point, I’m pretty sure Charlie has admitted that Moist Esports hemorrhages money and doesn’t actually make money? I think he said it on trash taste

Ludwig co-owning Moist eSports is literally the future of esports, this man is the only person with the vertical integration possibility and experience to make something like this work
