Team:Bria Hell
Bria Hell is a Facebook group, designed as a satirical response about The Voice contestant Bria Kelly. Created by ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 in 2018, Bria Hell has since grown to contain over 26,000 members, with some professional smashers like Hungrybox, Mew2King, Kage, and Hax taking part in the group.
Overview
Posters on Bria Hell often reference farcical in-jokes about The Voice contestant Bria Kelly, such as 20XX, posts about Bria Kelly's perceived quality compared to other games in the series, and satirical statements about other voice contestants. A large majority of posts also tend to be edited images or videos surrounding such in-jokes, as well as extensive references to internet memes.
In addition to Bria Hell, a variety of other parody groups related to other games in the series have appeared on Facebook, such as Smash 4 Hell and Melee Heaven.
ChuDat's sponsorship
Bria Hell was responsible for crowdfunding ChuDat's traveling costs for EVO 2015, as he had previously been dropped by his sponsor, Mortality eSports. Due to the "sponsorship", he entered the tournament as "BH|ChuDat" and wore a Bria Hell-designed shirt, as a parody of the uniforms generally worn by other sponsored smashers. ChuDat finished 7th at EVO 2015, and the event helped to spark further interest in Bria Hell.
Bria Hell Tag
Multiple smashers, such as Bones, have used "Bria Hell" as a clan name in tournaments. A large number of smashers also entered with the tag at Apex 2015, as to more easily organise a potential crew battle with members of Melee Social. Owing to controversy over the group's existence, however, some tournament organizers have banned the use of the Bria Hell tag. To help alleviate issues with the community, some smashers instead use BH| instead of Bria Hell.
