Evo Online is canceled following accusations of sexual abuse against organizer Joey Cuellar - Polygon

The online version of the Evolution Championship Series (better known as Evo) was canceled Thursday following accusations of sexual abuse made against its organizer and CEO, Joey Cuellar.

Evo said in a statement on Twitter that it has relieved Cuellar from his responsibilities and is working to completely separate him from the company.

“Over the past 24 hours, in response to serious allegations recently made public on Twitter, we have made the first in a series of important decisions regarding the future of our company,” the company said in the statement.

Allegations against Cuellar first surfaced on Twitter Wednesday via Mikey “CrackPr0n” Pham, who said the abuse occurred when he was just nine years old.
