'''CEO 2023''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' superregional held in Daytona Beach, [[Florida]], from June 23rd-25th, 2023. ''Smash 64'' was held as an official side event.

==Summary of events==
===''Melee''===
{{Sm|Plup}}, despite being relatively inactive in the tournament scene, claimed victory in his native state of [[Florida]], defeating {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} in winners' and grand finals; Plup won back-to-back CEO titles and became the second repeat ''Melee'' champion of CEO (after {{Sm|Hungrybox}}). Wizzrobe, another relatively inactive player, finished 2nd, upsetting #1 seed {{Sm|Jmook}} in winners' semis and defeating Hungrybox in losers' finals. {{Sm|Panda|p=Florida}} finished an impressive 4th place, upsetting Hungrybox 3-2 in winners' quarters.

===''Ultimate''===
The tournament's most notable upsets were #29 seed {{Sm|YoseFu}} over #4 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}}  (upset factor 6) and #32 seed {{Sm|TM7_ZAP}} over #1 seed {{Sm|Riddles}} (upset factor 9). Despite the upset, Riddles made a long run in the Loser's bracket, defeating 8 players to face fellow {{Team|Team Liquid}} player {{Sm|Dabuz}} in Grand Finals. Riddles took the first set 3-0, however Dabuz held Riddles off in the reset 3-1, taking his first national-level victory in ''Ultimate''. Dabuz's victory was celebrated by many, as not only was Riddles a notable bracket demon for Dabuz, but he had finished second in many national-level and major events, results which became running jokes in the community.
