CEO 2023 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate superregional held in Daytona Beach, Florida, from June 23rd-25th, 2023. Smash 64 was held as an official side event.
Summary of events[edit]
Melee[edit]
Plup, despite being relatively inactive in the tournament scene, claimed victory in his native state of Florida, defeating Wizzrobe in winners' and grand finals; Plup won back-to-back CEO titles and became the second repeat Melee champion of CEO (after Hungrybox). Wizzrobe, another relatively inactive player, finished 2nd, upsetting #1 seed Jmook in winners' semis and defeating Hungrybox in losers' finals. Panda finished an impressive 4th place, upsetting Hungrybox 3-2 in winners' quarters.
Ultimate[edit]
The tournament's most notable upsets were #29 seed YoseFu over #4 seed MuteAce (upset factor 6) and #32 seed TM7_ZAP over #1 seed Riddles (upset factor 9). Despite the upset, Riddles made a long run in the Loser's bracket, defeating 8 players to face fellow Team Liquid player Dabuz in Grand Finals. Riddles took the first set 3-0, however Dabuz held Riddles off in the reset 3-1, taking his first national-level victory in Ultimate. Dabuz's victory was celebrated by many, as not only was Riddles a notable bracket demon for Dabuz, but he had finished second in many national-level and major events, results which became running jokes in the community.
