Evo Online has been canceled. This follows not only Joey Cuellar accusation but also many companies withdrawing in response of it. Now Joey has since been removed as CEO. Tony Canon is going to be taking his place. We learn this through twitter as EVO says it will take steps to separate it self from Mr. Wizard starting today.
“EVO Statement
In the past 24 hours, in response to serious allegations recently made public on Twitter, we have made the first of a series of important decisions regarding the future of our company. Effective immediately, Joey Cuellar will no longer be involved with EVO in any capacity. We are currently working towards his complete separation from the company and have relieved him of all responsibilities.
Going forward, Tony Canon will act as CEO; in this position, he will take a leadership role in prioritizing greater accountability across EVO, both internally and at our events.
Progress doesn’t happen overnight, nor without the bravery of those who speak up against misconduct and injustice. We are shocked and saddened by these events, but we are listening and committed to making every change that will be necessary in making EVO a better model for the stronger, safer culture we all seek. As a result, we will be canceling EVO Online and will be working to issue refunds to all players who chose to purchase a badge. We will donate the equivalent of the proceeds as promised to Project HOPE.”
I expected as much would happen but the speed that this all went down in is incredible to say the least. Remember we just heard about this yesterday and the event is canceled with a new CEO announced and it was supposed to start tomorrow. If there are any changes I will let you know.
