[May 18-19] East Coast Throwdown 5 - $500 to KoF From Atlus!

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli (AKA Long Island Joe) and John
"SweetJohnnyCage" Gallagher are proud to present:

East Coast Throwdown V

===================================

East Coast Throwdown 4 was easily the most fun we've ever had at a tournament. The energy in that room was simply electrifying throughout the entire weekend. From the intense exhibitions between OMG itz Andre vs Unk0wn and RayRay vs Fanatiq to the nail-biting finals between Justin Wong and RayRay. And that was just Marvel!

ECT4 also marked the first tournament with international presence from Asia. AverMedia's GamerBee was in attendance last year and proved to be quite the threat in every game he entered. It was truly an honor to be able to host a legendary player such as Bruce and we'd be happy to welcome anyone from around the world to our event.

Joe and I were really pleased with the way ECT4 was run. We finally have systems in place to make sure everything runs as efficiently as possible with minimal delay. Our pre-registration system worked flawlessly and about 90% of you guys saved yourselves some dough and registered early. This allowed us to start on time and finish early. We received awesome feedback from the community and we're more than pleased to be bringing ECTV to you guys. We hope everyone who came last year will come back again for more spine-tingling excitement. The stuff we currently have in the planning stages has, and I quote from Joe himself, "the energy to bring back Jesus". So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we're ecstatic to present East Coast Throwdown V!

=====MASS TRANSIT INFORMATION!!!=====

To get to the hotel using mass transit, please take the Morristown Train Line from Penn Station in New York to the Morristown station.

===================================

HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS CAN BE MADE @ http://ecthrowdown.com/hotel/

===================================

ONLINE PRE-REGISTRATION IS NOW LIVE!
http://www.ecthrowdown.com/registration

===================================

We will be using the same ultra-efficient pool system we used at ECT4. By ensuring that around 16 or 32 (depending on the game) people are in each bracket, pools can run very fast and very efficiently. I will be doing brackets by hand again this year in order to better guarantee that people don't have to play 2 games at once. Since we're using smaller brackets, there will be more pools available to place players in, making sure you guys don't have to be in 2 places at once. Just report to your pool, stick around for 2-3 hours depending on how you play, and you're done! If you do have to play more than one game at a time, it is YOUR responsibility to tell your pool handler that you're in another game. If you go missing for 20 minutes because you were playing in another tournament, you might get DQ'd because the handler doesn't know where you are.

===================================

The games that will be held as main tournaments are as follows:

  • Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition v2012 (Xbox 360) - $10
  • Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Xbox 360) - $10
  • Street Fighter X Tekken (Xbox 360)
  • Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Mortal Kombat 9 (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (MAME on PC, sticks will be provided) - $5
  • King of Fighters XIII (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Soulcalibur V (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (PlayStation 2/Or Console of Community's Choice) - $10
  • Darkstalkers: Resurrection (Vampire Savior) - $10
  • Persona 4 Arena (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Skullgirls (PlayStation 3) - $10
  • Dead or Alive 5 (Xbox 360) - $10


This list is subject to change, but we don't think we'll be deleting any games from it unless there is barely any community support. As always, if you want to see a game run, LET US KNOW!

If you haven't already gotten your room for ECT5, here's the availability in the hotel that's left. I highly advise you book now seeing as how we exceeded ECT4's numbers a few weeks ago. Again, there is no charge to your credit card until you check-in, or cancel too close to your reservation.

King Bed:
5/17: 9 rooms remaining
5/18: 12 rooms remaining
5/19: 2 rooms remaining

Double/Double Beds:
5/17: 2 rooms remaining
5/18: 3 rooms remaining
5/19: 11 rooms remaining

Suites:
5/17: 4 remaining
5/18: 3 remaining
5/19: 4 remaining

Also, pre-registration ends in 18 days!

PRE-REGISTRATION ENDS IN 10 DAYS 9 HOURS 46 MINUTES!!!!!!!!

More hotel rooms have been added, but there is a condition attached! Since there are so few rooms left on Saturday, you can only book rooms for two days or more. So that would be Friday & Saturday (check out Sunday), Saturday & Sunday (check out Monday) or Friday-Sunday (check out Monday). I'm tyring to get Saturday-only rooms, but they won't be able to be discounted, I can almost guarantee that. If you need a room for Saturday only, I have listed other hotels in the area. You can reach the venue hotel from there via cab (shouldn't be more than $5, $10 at the absolute max). I'll let you guys know as soon as Saturday rooms are made available, but for those needing two or three day stays, go nuts!

Few things:

4 AND A HALF HOURS LEFT TO REGISTER! www.ecthrowdown.com

There was some confusion about the bonus prize from One Frame Link. Here's a more clear explanation:

$2000 SF4
$2000 Marvel
$1000 Injustice

$1000 to the game that has the most entries, EXCLUDING SF4, Marvel, and Injustice. So that means MK9 could get it, KoF13, SCV, Persona, any other game except the 3 already getting the bonus prize from OFL.

Also, Injustice will be on Xbox 360 as mentioned last night on our social media accounts.
