Tournament organizer, Beast of the East, has announced the cancellation of the Taipei Major for 2020.
The Taipei Major was set to take place in Taiwan and was part of the Capcom Pro Tour 2020. But due to health concerns with the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, tournament organizers have been forced to cancel the event entirely. The Taipei Major will make its return next year instead.
