The move comes one day after multiple GeoGuessr mapmakers rendered their work unplayable in protest of the game's participation in the EWC.

Custom map creators claimed the Esports World Cup is 'a sportswashing tool used by the government of Saudi Arabia to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record.'

GeoGuessr has withdrawn from the Esports World Cup after players and map creators slammed the team for participating in the event that, controversially, will be hosted by Saudi Arabia later this summer.
