'''ChiboSempai''', also known as '''Chibo''', is an American [[smasher]] from New Jersey who previously lived in Philadelphia for 5 years while attending Drexel University, where he started his Smash career.


==Etymology==
'''Chia'''<!--Please do not include any mention of this player's deadname/dead-tag--> is an American [[smasher]] from Pennsylvania who mains {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} in ''[[Brawl]]''. Chia started her Smash career while attending Drexel University in Philadelphia, though also spent about half of her time in the New Jersey smash scene while living there after college. Chia is known as one of the best R.O.B. mains in ''Brawl''. She is, however, mostly known for being the owner and founder of {{Team|CLASH Tournaments}}, both formerly one of the largest tournament organizations and streaming companies in Smash. She is currently ranked 8th on the [[2023 SSBBRank]] and 4th on the [[Philadelphia Power Rankings|Philadelphia ''Project M'' Power Rankings]].


Formerly known as "ElChibo", Chibo was tired of everyone online thinking he was Mexican, so he decided to add "Sempai" to his nickname in August of 2007. This decision was also puzzling, because the suffix of "sempai" is Japanese, while Chibo is not, thus furthering confusion. He now commonly goes by just CT Chibo or ChiboSempai in full. Crowds at tournaments will often chant his name during hype moments, or times when he's not even involved or at the event!
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Chia was a {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}} main. She was formerly ranked 15th on the [[Tristate Power Rankings]] for ''Smash 4''.


==Background==
In ''[[Ultimate]]'', Chia is a {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} main. She was formerly ranked 14th on the [[Philadelphia Power Rankings]].


Chibo went to Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA where he spent his time playing Smash and training with others such as [[GOTM]], [[Scar]], [[Cactuar]], and more. Chibo mains [[Samus]] in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In the past, Chibo has mained [[Young Link]] and [[Mario]].  
==Biography==
{{out of date}}
===Early Smash career and sponsorships===
Chia has been a fan of the Smash series for a long time, dating back to ''[[Smash 64]]'', however she did not get into the tournament scene until November of 2006. She spent her time playing Smash playing against players such as GOTM, {{Sm|Scar}}, {{Sm|Cactuar}} while in Philadelphia, where she attended Drexel University. Chia began as a {{SSBM|Young Link}} and {{SSBM|Mario}} main in ''[[Melee]]'', though soon switched to {{SSBM|Samus}} as she advanced in competitive play.  


Chibo was in the crew Titans of Smash with other players such as [[GOTM]], [[MexiMadnez]], and more. Since the creation of the crew, he has recruited plenty of good players such as AlexanderTriad, {{Sm|Vex Kasrani}}, and TenNoTensai. The crew lived on for many years, stretching from Melee back in 2007, up through multiple years after the release of Brawl. The crew eventually grew quite large, with many members split between the Philadelphia and South Jersey areas. His affiliation is now with [[CLASH Tournaments]].
Chia was in the crew Titans of Smash with other players such as GOTM and MexiMadnez. Since the creation of the crew, she recruited plenty of good players and friends such as AlexanderTriad, {{Sm|Vex Kasrani}}, and TenNoTensai. The crew lived on for many years, stretching from ''Melee'' back in 2007, up through multiple years after the release of ''Brawl''. The crew eventually grew quite large, with many members split between the Philadelphia and South Jersey areas. She has also been sponsored by two different teams previously - FYC eSports, and {{Team|vVv Gaming}}. While she was an active professional player at the time (both sponsorships started in 2010), Chia also joined these organizations for her skills in tournament organization and media production, as a means of getting exposure for these companies. She is known to say that skill isn't the only factor in becoming sponsored, and feels she is proof of this, and often says this when people ask her for advice on becoming sponsored. Before the departure of Smash from vVv Gaming, Chia was their ''Brawl'' Division Manager.


Chibo has been a fan of the Smash series for a long time, dating back to Smash 64, however he did not get into the tournament scene until November of 2006. Besides Smash, he is quite skilled at many other games, and once held the speed run world record for the 16 Star category in Super Mario 64. He previously owned a website called Following Revolution on gaming news that also hosted a podcast, and is now the owner and founder of [[CLASH Tournaments]].
===''CLASH Tournaments'' and recent years===
In 2011, Chia decided to bring all of her efforts in the community with tournament organizing and live streaming under the common name "{{Team|CLASH Tournaments}}". As time went on, CT became more focused specifically on live streaming and media production, and the sponsoring of players, though Chia had still worked as tournament organization staff for many events, such as the Apex Series. The first players sponsored by CLASH Tournaments were {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, as a way for Chia to take her profits from CT and give back to the community, and enhance the image of both professional players. CT is now a leading media provider for the Smash community, as Chia actively travels the United States on a near-weekly basis to stream events.


==''CLASH Tournaments''==
Chia also worked with [[Major League Gaming]] to help run {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} in a beneficial manner to the community. She later became the Director of ''Smash Bros.'' with ProGuides, a website focused on creating video and learning guides to help people improve at a variety of esports.

Besides being the owner of [[CLASH Tournaments]] now, Chibo has been sponsored by two different teams previously - FYC eSports, and [[vVv Gaming]]. While he was an active professional player at the time (both sponsorships started in 2010) and commonly referred to as one of the best ROB mains in Brawl, Chibo also joined these organizations for his skills in tournament organization and media production, as a means of getting exposure for these companies. Chibo is known to say that skill isn't the only factor in becoming sponsored, and feels he is proof of this, and often says this when people ask him for advice on becoming sponsored. Before the departure of Smash from vVv Gaming, Chibo became their Brawl Division Manager.

Early Smash career and sponsorships[edit]

Chia has been a fan of the Smash series for a long time, dating back to Smash 64, however she did not get into the tournament scene until November of 2006. She spent her time playing Smash playing against players such as GOTM, Scar, Cactuar while in Philadelphia, where she attended Drexel University. Chia began as a Young Link and Mario main in Melee, though soon switched to Samus as she advanced in competitive play.

Chia was in the crew Titans of Smash with other players such as GOTM and MexiMadnez. Since the creation of the crew, she recruited plenty of good players and friends such as AlexanderTriad, Vex Kasrani, and TenNoTensai. The crew lived on for many years, stretching from Melee back in 2007, up through multiple years after the release of Brawl. The crew eventually grew quite large, with many members split between the Philadelphia and South Jersey areas. She has also been sponsored by two different teams previously - FYC eSports, and vVv Gaming. While she was an active professional player at the time (both sponsorships started in 2010), Chia also joined these organizations for her skills in tournament organization and media production, as a means of getting exposure for these companies. She is known to say that skill isn't the only factor in becoming sponsored, and feels she is proof of this, and often says this when people ask her for advice on becoming sponsored. Before the departure of Smash from vVv Gaming, Chia was their Brawl Division Manager.

CLASH Tournaments and recent years[edit]

In 2011, Chia decided to bring all of her efforts in the community with tournament organizing and live streaming under the common name "CLASH Tournaments". As time went on, CT became more focused specifically on live streaming and media production, and the sponsoring of players, though Chia had still worked as tournament organization staff for many events, such as the Apex Series. The first players sponsored by CLASH Tournaments were Mew2King and ZeRo, as a way for Chia to take her profits from CT and give back to the community, and enhance the image of both professional players. CT is now a leading media provider for the Smash community, as Chia actively travels the United States on a near-weekly basis to stream events.

Chia also worked with Major League Gaming to help run MLG World Finals 2015 in a beneficial manner to the community. She later became the Director of Smash Bros. with ProGuides, a website focused on creating video and learning guides to help people improve at a variety of esports.
