    After allegations of pedophilia and sexual misconduct were investigated against Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar”, he was fired by the company. It was said that he did these sexual harassments on members of the gaming community. The company is now working towards his complete separation from it and has relieved him of all his responsibilities.

    The one who will now act as CEO is Tony Cannon. He will be the one taking the leadership role in prioritizing greater accountability across EVO.

    The organizers have told the players who purchased a badge to not worry because they will be issuing refunds soon. The equivalent of the proceeds will still be donated to Project HOPE.
