dmbrandon or Diem was a Meta Knight main from New Jersey. He generally teamed with Shadow, another top level Meta Knight from the same region. He was a moderately high level tournament player, though he never got very notable placings, mostly because the Tri-State region is one of the strongest original Brawl regions. Diem was also moderately strong at other fighting games, such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Dmbrandon is a member of Juice, along with Shadow, KSizzle, Doom, and a few other Smashers. They were mostly known for hosting Concentrate, a series of high level, semi-professionally run tournaments in North/Central New Jersey.
Smite and Post-Brawl
After leaving the Brawl community and SmashBoards, Diem became an official/professional commentator for Smite. He was also considered for commentary for top 8 for Melee at Apex 2015 but after community backlash due to previous statements on Smash, Diem stepped off himself and instead Toph was chosen.
