ALGS Shake-Up: iiTzTimmy Switches from DSG to Moist Esports
Following the first round robin, two of the ALGS’s largest North American companies made significant adjustments, with iiTzTimmy leaving DSG and joining with Moist Esports for the remainder of the Split Two Pro League.
New Beginnings for iiTzTimmy at Moist Esports
IiTzTimmy will now play alongside Apex Legends veterans Ben “Wxltzy” Walton and Zachary “Gild” Dennis, while Matthew “Emtee” Trengrove has stepped down from the active playing roster, ending one of the longest dynamic duos in the ALGS—Wxltzy and Emtee have played together since 2022 on Team Burger in APAC-S. Emtee now joins Kyle “Draugr” Gillard as part of Moist Esports’ coaching staff.
iiTz Timmy in the ALGS
IiTzTimmy entered the professional ALGS scene in 2023, founding his own team, The Dojo, and dominating the NA Last Chance Qualifiers, where they finished fourth in LAN. DSG signed the whole lineup for the 2024 season on January 18, as the club maintained its domination during Split One, with a repeat Match Point Finals appearance and an eighth-place finish in the Split One Playoffs.
However, the new season 21 modifications and swings in the evolving Apex metagame have caused DSG and Moist to struggle since the two organizations’ return to the NA Pro League, with both failing to place in the top ten across all series in the first round robin of Split 2. This included Moist’s poorest performance in ALGS history, finishing last on June 9 and scoring zero points for the day. Currently, both teams are out of playoff contention; the top 12 in NA qualify for LAN, while Moist is 25th. DSG is presently at 28th position.
The Future of DSG
Following iiTzTimmy’s resignation, DSG has stated that coach Deston “Bronzey” Nguyen will fill in as the team’s new third member. Additionally, Tyler “Dezignful” Gardner has announced DSG is trialing for a new permanent player, but with the imminent roster lock for the week as per the official ALGS rulebook, fans may have to wait a bit longer before they see who represents the NA org for the future.
The new Moist Esports Apex roster will make its ALGS debut on June 15 at 5pm CT for the first set of matches in the second round robin of the NA Pro League against Group A, with DSG playing afterwards on June 16.
