He lost to ChuDat and {{Sm|Azen}} at [[MLG Chicago 2006]], placing 5th. PC Chris also won [[MELEE-FC6]], defeating {{Sm|Mew2King}} in two consecutive sets during grand finals. | PC Chris started his [[MLG]] career by winning [[MLG New York Opener 2006]], the first tournament in the [[MLG 2006 Pro Circuit]], defeating {{Sm|Ken}} twice.

PC Chris spent years in a semi-retired state; while he still participated in several national tournaments and usually made it into the bracket, his results were not nearly as notable as they once were. PC Chris returned to the ''Melee'' scene in May 2014 at the event Justice 3, with this being confirmed towards the end of said event's trailer. He placed 17th in ''Melee'' singles at the event. However, he has not made any notable appearances at tournaments since. | |||
PC Chris | On January 9th 2015, PC Chris posted a tweet reading "This amazing year of Smash has opened my eyes. Needless to say, this old dog is eager to learn some new tricks. I've missed you, Brothers." Shortly after, he announced his interest in returning to ''Melee'' in hopes to compete consistently at high level play once again. He also appeared on {{sm|Chillin}}'s Twitch stream series Nostalgia Nights detailing his return to Smash and his history in Smash over the past decade. PC Chris shortly after attended the tourney Neo Nebulous Beta 2, where he played 13th, though he wouldn't make an impact until Super Nebulous 2 on January 24th, 2015, where he made it into pro bracket in 2nd seed of his pool. He lost to {{Sm|Ice}} first round, but was able to take Game 1, much to the shock of many. He then defeated {{Sm|Eikelmann}} in loser's before being defeated by {{Sm|Lord HDL}} 2-0 to get 17th. | ||
PC Chris attended [[Apex 2015]], where he nearly made bracket, placing 49th of 1,037 competitors. In it, he placed 2nd in his 1st round pool, losing only to {{Sm|Fuzzyness}}, a top level European smasher. In 2nd round pools, he defeated {{Sm|Velocity}} and {{Sm|ROFL}}, and had a close set with {{Sm|Kalamazhu}}, zero to death-ing him in the opening of Game 1 and bringing the set to last stock on Game 3. He was eventually defeated, but received a huge cheer from the crowd on his exit. He later fought Ken in the Salty Suite, where he lost the first game as Fox, but switched to Falco starting with game 2. The match went to Game 5 last stock, but PC Chris won it out 3-2 with a JV2 last game. He then proceeded to surf the crowd as celebration. | |||
PC Chris | After Apex 2015, PC Chris made a few more appearances at tournaments, placing 13th at [[MVG Sandstorm]]. Around this time, he expressed interest in streaming on [[Twitch]]. He received significant support from the community, particularly from {{Sm|Chillin}}, who led a donation drive that aimed to raise around $1,000 so that PC Chris could obtain a better setup for streaming. However, due to unknown circumstances, PC Chris could not follow up on his promises to stream and fell out of the community once again. | ||
