'''dmbrandon''' or '''Diem''' was a {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} main from New Jersey. He generally teamed with Shadow another top level Metaknight from the same region. He was a moderately high level tournament player, though he never got very notable placings, mostly due to being from the Tri-State region, one of the, if not the strongest original Brawl regions. Along with Brawl, 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.
'''DMBrandon''', also known as '''Diem''', was a ''[[Brawl]]'' {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} main from [[New Jersey]]. He generally teamed with {{Sm|Shadow}}, a top level Meta Knight from the same region.

===Smite and Post Brawl===
After leaving competitive ''Smash'' near the end of ''Brawl'', DMBrandon became a professional [[commentator]] for ''{{iw|wikipedia|Smite|video game}}''. He would briefly attempt to return to competitive ''Smash'' when he was initially slotted for a commentary slot for top 8 of ''[[Melee]]'' at [[Apex 2015]]. This, however, was met with severe community backlash, due to previous negative statements he made about ''Smash'', as well as his lack of any prior significant involvement with ''Melee'', making the community feel he was unsuited for such a high profile commentary spot. In response to the backlash, DMBradon willingly stepped down from his commentary slot, while {{sm|Toph}} was chosen to take his place. He would not make any further serious attempts to get reinvolved in competitive ''Smash'' in any high profile capacity, and would only compete at the occasional tournament after this point.
After leaving the brawl community/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 {{sm|Toph}} was chosen.

DMBrandon, also known as Diem, was a Brawl Meta Knight main from New Jersey. He generally teamed with Shadow, a top level Meta Knight from the same region. He was a high level tournament player with some impressive tournament placings in the first half of Brawl's competitive life, but was overshadowed within the Tristate Area, which hosted an extremely high concentration of top and near top level players. DMBrandon was 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 tournaments in North/Central New Jersey.

After leaving competitive Smash near the end of Brawl, DMBrandon became a professional commentator for Smite. He would briefly attempt to return to competitive Smash when he was initially slotted for a commentary slot for top 8 of Melee at Apex 2015. This, however, was met with severe community backlash, due to previous negative statements he made about Smash, as well as his lack of any prior significant involvement with Melee, making the community feel he was unsuited for such a high profile commentary spot. In response to the backlash, DMBradon willingly stepped down from his commentary slot, while Toph was chosen to take his place. He would not make any further serious attempts to get reinvolved in competitive Smash in any high profile capacity, and would only compete at the occasional tournament after this point.
