Editing Team:El Chocolate Diablo

{{results}}

'''El Chocolate Diablo''' was the name of a {{sm|Ken}} and {{sm|Isai}}'s successful doubles team in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The team was comprised of Ken Hoang, a {{SSBM|Marth}} main who was considered to be the best ''Melee'' player in the world from 2003 to 2006, and Isai Alvarado, a {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} main who was once considered the best Falcon player as well as one of the best ''Melee'' players in the United States. Ken usually played Marth, while Isai would play either Captain Falcon or {{SSBM|Sheik}}.

Starting with [[Tournament Go 5]] in August 2003, the team won an incredibly large amount of doubles tournaments, including a large variety of [[MLG]] events from 2005 to 2006, earning a lot of money in the process as well. The team had a very low amount of losses, suffering their first one in 2006 to the team of {{Sm|Taj}} and {{Sm|Forward}} at a [[Champ Combo]] tournament in the first set of grand finals, although they still ended up taking the second set. The team also lost to the team of {{Sm|PC Chris}} and {{Sm|Wes}} in winners' finals at [[MLG New York Opener 2006]], though they still won both sets of grand finals to win the tournament. [[Zero Challenge 2]] was one of the few majors in which Ken and Isai did not team with each other. Isai partnered with {{sm|Captain Jack}} and got 1st, while Ken played with {{sm|Rob$}} and finished 7th.

As time passed however, El Chocolate Diablo's dominance was lost. The team failed to win a tournament for the first time at [[MLG Chicago 2006]], losing to {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|KoreanDJ}} in winners' semis and {{Sm|Azen}} and {{Sm|Chillin}} in grand finals. They also lost to {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|Lucky}} as well as {{Sm|SilentSpectre}} and {{Sm|Tang}} at [[Super Champ Combo]] in 2007. The team became inactive soon after, with both Ken and Isai choosing to retire from competitive ''Melee'' in late 2007. Ken became active in ''Melee'' again around 2014 and Isai still plays ''Smash 64''.
