Background
Template:Outdated In addition to piquing the interests of the community at large about the Ice Climbers' metagame, Chu has also spearheaded the local community in Northern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, Chillindude829 and Azen.
ChuDat 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, ChuDat prefers to represent the West Coast due to his friendships and close ties to California.
