The Evolution Championship Series fighting game tournament was canceled Thursday after multiple game developers, esports organizations, competitors and hosts pulled out of the event amid sexual misconduct allegations against Evo co-founder and organizer Joey "MrWizard" Cuellar.

Evo, the largest fighting game event in the world, was to be held online this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
