East Coast Throwdown 2020 has officially been canceled in direct response to the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

ECT tournament organizers are now focused on hosting next year’s event, which is already set to take place on September 3-5, 2021.
They’re also looking into producing an East Coast Throwdown special on October 2-4, 2020, which was the same weekend the event would have been held. The ECT team wants to provide a studio-based production with a live stream experience “showcasing some of the best native East Coast talent from players, commentators, and figureheads to give fans a unique variety show of sorts.”
East Coast Throwdown 2020 was going to be the first time the event was set to feature a Capcom Pro Tour Premier.
