Background
In addition to piquing the interests of the community at large about the Ice Climbers metagame, Chu has also spearheaded the local community in Northern Virginia by hosting "NoVa Bi-weekliez !" at his parents' home. The tournaments have attracted a wide variety of top level competition including Mew2King, Chillin and Azen.
Chu Dat has been known to frequently visit Southern California to spend time with the Hoang family, which includes Ken and Manacloud. Although he is situated primarily in the East, Chu Dat prefers to represent the West Coast due to his friendships and close ties to California.
Chu is very open about his recreational use of the drug Adderall.
