"But a single individual can stain the entire event. Hold on there, you need to login to post a comment... Did You Miss Out On The Super Mario Anniversary Pin Set? This guy has not been charged with anything, and has not be found guilty of anything but this multi million dollar event gets cancelled due to cancel culture. All I have been trying to do is become a better person. I'm sorry. Wait, so it seems like there's two totally separate issues here. It’s very sad to hear about stuff like this. Commentators have also pulled out of this year's online-only event.
EVO 2020, which was to be an online tournament in 2020, has been cancelled. @Ralizah "I find it curious how you beleive innocent until proven guilty". It hasn't even gone to court yet, just mindless blabber on a website full of cancer. Below is the full statement from the tournament's Twitter account: As noted, refunds will be issued to all players who have purchased a band, and donations (as promised) will still go towards the international health care organisation, Project HOPE.

We have decided to withdraw Themâs Fightinâ Herds from EVO Online. Shortly afterward, the man in question, Joey Cuellar, apparently acknowledged these accusations of sexual assault against a minor in a brief, frank post on social media.
All I have been trying to do is become a better person.
>sexual assault allegations are worse than the deaths of half a million people.
@nessisonett It also makes you wonder which allegations are true, and which are crying wolf. @TG16_IS_BAE As previously promised, all arena tickets and hotel room reservations will be refunded.
@BabyYoshi12 Quick test for hot takea on internet forums.
Comments are welcome and encouraged on Gematsu.
Pretty scary. Best of luck to them.
The accusations against Cuellar, and his acknowledgement of them, followed a wave of stories and allegations that came out over the past few days of sexual abuse within the world of fighting-game tournaments. In explaining its decision, Capcom pointed directly to allegations against Cuellar, the tournament's co-founder and president, while NetherRealm offered a more vague statement that was likely about the same allegations: "We stand in solidarity with those who have spoken out against abuse," NetherRealm's statement said.

In Japan it's a group effort and don't get out of line. All it takes is a few people to come forward and then if the person really is a bad apple, it might give others the strength to speak up.
Go back to twitter. You mean "whatabout" the actual reason it was cancelled?
Looking at some footage of them both, I have to believe him.
Tony Cannon does still have credability in the FGC, but the reputation of EVO is just too tarnished to be salvaged at this point I feel. So was this twenty years ago? Now that’s what you call a Fatality.
"We will work to issue refunds for all players who chose to purchase a badge," the statement says.].

Another EVO, another shit show. We will be pulling MK11 from EVO Online. I’m not supporting it, but I feel the internet is too harsh sometimes. I7 6700K : 16GB DDR4 3000 : GTX1070 : Firestudio : Naga : G27.
[Update 9pm ET: Minutes after this article's publication, Bandai Namco joined the growing chorus of departing game publishers.]. Both instances have, and very sadly, still happen and one does not negate the other.
EVO 2020, which was to be an online tournament in 2020, has been cancelled in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against now-fired president Joey …
The organizers have since fully cancelled the upcoming EVO Online ... a sponsor of the event and was likely to support multiple players participating on other tournaments as part of EVO 2020… A girl you talked to at a party comes out 12 years from now and says you abused her. I was young and reckless and did things Iâm not proud of.
The claims prompted NetherRealm Studios, Capcom, and Bandai Namco to drop their participation in EVO 2020, pulling out the games that would headline the event.

In the case of Cuellar, he chose to admit to “doing crazy things 20 years ago and trying to be a better person since,” so while that’s a start, it’s still not definitive proof. Until Joey 'MrWizard' Cuellar is removed from Evo, I can no longer participate.". Wow, heavy news. Yes, let’s all go to a place filled with drunk people and try to have discourse. Earlier, it was reported that EVO CEO Joey Cuellar was being placed on administrative leave following several accusations of sexual misconduct.
Rocket League! I think you're right. That says a lot more about you than me really. No seriously, I feel bad for everyone involved.
The girl got way too close to this kid, and the way she was staring at him was very creepy.

He has powerful friends in his circle, friends who the supporters of his accusers have connections to. @YorkshireNed You inferred just a little bit too much there buddy. Can these two very different issues get their own articles please? The digital event, the replacement for the cancelled EVO 2020 that would have normally been held from July 31 to August 2, was set to begin on July 4 and run every weekend until the end of the month. The event being cancelled due to COVID-19, but also someone in the past doing something terrible?
The announcement was made on the official EVO Twitter account. We are currently working towards his complete separation from the company and have relieved him of all his responsibilities. People like him don’t think about how their actions affect countless other lives, it’s utterly unfair on the workers, players, fans and companies who’ll be affected by this. Progress doesnât happen overnight, or without the bravery of those who speak up against misconduct and injustice. Brilliant.
It actually makes me wonder, on a broader scale, how the lockdown is affecting competitive Smash.

Oof, fighting games are the most unforgiving kind of game to play online.
EVO Online 2020 has been cancelled following sexual abuse allegations against CEO Joey Cuellar, who has been removed from the company in response to sexual abuse allegations and replaced with new CEO Tony Cannon. Oh well, it's not like Sonic Battle was going to be at EVO.
As he mentioned, he was young and reckless, and yet the internet still goes too far.

@durr if i deserve it, so does Mr. Wizard, pretty simple It makes you wonder though, with this many figures in the gaming industry being outed as predators recently, how many others have been getting away with it for years? As much as the Evo 2020 cancelled news isn't a surprise, it's still a major event in gaming. Ultimate, the other fighters included were Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r], Dragon Ball FighterZ, Samurai Shodown, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur VI, Granblue Fantasy Versus and Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Now, the event will no longer go ahead, and Cuellar will no longer be involved with EVO.
Copyright ©2020 Designtechnica Corporation. This follows on from several publishers withdrawing their support - including NetherRealm, Bandai Namco, and Capcom. EVO 2020’s organizers then released a statement that the online tournament is canceled, and that it is cutting ties with Cuellar while placing fellow co-founder Tony Cannon in an acting CEO role. I never meant to hurt anyone. Were you able to find something more specific? Let’s be honest, if you’re going to lie about something like that, you’d choose someone big enough to make it into the news. I’ve met victims of assault in real life (unfortunately) where the proof is impossible to deny, but those were very severe cases that left physical evidence, very sad to say. I'm a big "let's wait for things to play out before jumping on someone" person, but, at least in this particular case, the accused has basically admitted that the accusations are true.
All because Sonicfox got added to Skullgirls. CNMN Collection
Wow serious allegations, so shutting down an event and putting people out of work who had nothing to do with it, must be a huge accomplishment for the parties involved.
