With this new acquisition, Moist Esports is no more. It was founded in 2021 by MoistCr1TiKal. The team had rosters for Apex Legends, VALORANT, and Rocket League. 

With the merger, Shopify Rebellion has launched a new fan pack that allows fans to purchase merchandise featuring the organization's mascots, Mogi and Rebel. 

Moist Esports and Shopify Rebellion had a joint roster in VALORANT Challengers North America in 2023. They co-created the MxS team, which placed third in the VALORANT Challengers North America Playoffs in 2023. 

In addition to VALORANT, Shopify Rebellion is also involved with League of Legends. They have a partner spot with LTA North.
