'''MattDotzeb''' is a [[smasher]] from Massachusetts who uses [[Falco]].
| country      = United States
MattDotZeb's name originated from a typo his friend made while creating his e-mail address.
}}
Formally his e-mail was "matt.zab@comcast.net" which was his first name and the first 3 letters of his last name.  
'''MattDotZeb''' is a [[smasher]] from Massachusetts who plays {{SSBM|Falco}} in ''Melee'', and was considered to be one of the two best Falco mains in New England, along with {{Sm|th0rn}}, before he moved to California. He is more well-known, however, for his work as a tournament organizer, having hosted series such as "Mass Madness", "The Melee Games", and {{Trn|Shine}} since he entered the community. MattDotZeb was previously ranked 3rd on the [[Colorado Power Rankings]] and 10th on the [[New England Power Rankings]]. He has taken sets over many notable players such {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|Crush}}, {{Sm|Ryan Ford}}, {{Sm|dizzkidboogie}}, {{Sm|Kels}}, {{Sm|InfiniteNumbers}}, {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}}, and {{Sm|Swiftbass}}.
His friend, while sending an e-mail to MattDotZeb typed "matt.zeb@comcast.net"
 
Directly following the incident, that friends sister yelled "matt.zeb!" and called him that the next time she saw him.
==Tournament placings==
His friend began calling him that, following his sister.

His friend's girlfriend was introduced to Matt with that name.

== Trivia ==
*MattDotZeb is notorious for his upsets against top players; he sporadically defeats professionals far above his skill level, including {{Sm|Leffen}}, in tournament. He is equally as notorious for being upset by lower-leveled or unranked players, often [[Pause#Match reset|quitting mid-match]] out of those sets. He has a positive record against {{Sm|Leffen}}, 1-0.
