GeoGuessr has withdrawn from the Esports World Cup after players and map creators slammed the team for participating in the event that, controversially, will be hosted by Saudi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

The community let GeoGuessr know it was not pleased with its decision to attend the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

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