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 {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Chillin}} and {{Sm|Azen}}. His biggest original tournament placing in early smash was [[OC2]] where he made an incredible loser's run. | 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.

He had been known to frequently visit Southern California to spend time with the Hoang family, which includes {{Sm|Ken}} and {{Sm|Manacloud}}. For several years ChuDat preferred to represent the West Coast due to his friendships and close ties to California but this put stress on his relationship with the other members of H2YL. | He had been known to frequently visit Southern California to spend time with the Hoang family, which includes {{Sm|Ken}} and {{Sm|Manacloud}}.

After a few years on the West Coast, (around when Brawl came out,) he moved back to MD/VA where he once again became one of the top smashers in the area and reestablished ties with the rest of the MD/VA scene. Chu Dat won a large number of the weekly [[S@X]] tournaments in Brawl, Project M, and Melee. In Brawl and Project M specifically, he became the top Kirby main. Due to his frequent results, he was sponsored by [[Mortality eSports]] along with Axe. However, Mortality dropped both sponsorships shortly before [[CEO 2015]] which left Chu with little cash. For EVO specifically, a [https://www.gofundme.com/chudatevo crowd fund] was sponsored by [[Melee Hell]] (or MH) which sponsored enough cash for Chu Dat to be able to attend EVO 2015. He lost eventually in winners to {{sm|Ice}}'s Fox in round 2 pools. He then made an impressive loser's run, beating players including {{sm|Silent Wolf}} and {{sm|Westballz}} and winning a nail-biting set vs {{sm|HugS}} to get top 8 before finally losing to {{sm|Mango}} in losers, netting 7th at then the largest tournament in history. | After a few years on the West Coast, (around when Brawl came out,) he moved back to MD/VA where he once again became one of the top smashers in the area and reestablished ties with the rest of the MD/VA scene.
