The statement of the events cancellation came less than 24 hours after fighting video game gamer Mikey “Crackpr0n” Pham declared that Cuellar had actually behaved inappropriately towards him and a variety of other teenage boys in the 90s and early 00s. Following the claims, several companies took out of the occasion, consisting of Capcom, NetherRealm, and Bandai Namco, along with commentators and gamers, according to PCGamer.
Joey Cuellar “will no longer be involved with Evo in any capability,” the company said. Tony Cannon, another of the companys co-founders, will serve as CEO going forward. Cuellar apologized in a tweet, and said he was “not happy of” his previous actions.
Battling game competition organizer Evo has actually canceled Evo Online and eliminated its co-founder and president from the company after major allegations appeared about his past habits. The long-running esports event had previously been set up to happen in a brand-new online-only format starting July 4th due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Evo said it will be issuing refunds to anybody who acquired a badge for Evo Online, and that it will be making a donation to Project Hope equivalent to the profits from the occasion.
