EVO Online 2023 canceled due to pedophile scandal, sponsors announce boycott

Earlier we reported that the organizers of the e-sports tournament Evolution championship series (EVO) were at the center of a high-profile pedophile scandal. One of the founders of EVO fell under suspicion Joey Cuellar (Mr. Wizard)

As the gamer said Mikey Fam (Crackpr0n), Cuellar paid money to underage boys to jump naked into the pool. In addition, Cuellar argued with Fam himself for $ 20 that the length of the male dignity of an e-sportsman is less than that of the “average Asian.”

Today, there was a reaction from the rest of the organizers of EVO. They announced a complete breakdown of cooperation with Joey Cuellar. Now the parties are at the final stage of the “divorce” process.

Appointed New Executive Director Tony cannon. At the same time, a difficult decision was made: to completely cancel the EVO Online 2023 tournament.

This step should not surprise anyone, because the organizers simply can not hold matches. They refused to cooperate with EVO NetherRealm Studios, Capcom, Bandai namco and Mane6who have banned the use of their games in competitions.

This casts doubt on the likelihood of the survival of the Evolution Championship Series as an organization, as other studios may join the boycott. It will be difficult to restore the reputation now, because the second wave has swept the gaming industry #MeToo.
