EVO Online 2020 Cancelled

EVO Online 2020 cancelled after sexual misconduct allegations were placed against Joey Cuellar, otherwise known as Mr Wiz – the CEO of EVO.

After the accusations, many of the participating companies pulled out of EVO Online 2020, which had been created as an online replacement for the usual tournament, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament would have been left without 6 of its scheduled games, and a hefty chunk of its commentators and players, who also distanced themselves.

EVO have now replaced Joey Cuellar as CEO, bringing in Tonny Cannon – and with this, have cancelled EVO Online 2020.

Refunds will be issued, and the equivalent of the proceeds will be sent to charity.
