Community Effort Orlando (CEO) 2022 Preview

Community Effort Orlando

If you consider yourself a member of the FGC (Fighting Game Community) or just an esports tournament onlooker, then you most likely have a clue about what CEO (Community Effort Orlando) is all about. In 2021, the wrestling-themed fighting game tourney made its return to an in-person event after being canceled the year prior. Instead of taking place in December like the 2021 installment, CEO 2022 is set to take place in the summer like it traditionally has in years past. CEO Gaming's President and founder Alex Jebailey, the entirety of the staff put in place to make things run smoothly, and the professional players who make the trek there to emerge victorious are set to return for this year's live-streamed festivities. Before it kicks off, allow us to offer you the most important details about CEO 2022.
