With his new role as a partial owner of Liquid, DeBiedma now gets to attend events like a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony for a partnership between the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles and Team Liquid to use eSports as an avenue for elevating STEM education in underserved communities. As Liquid’s now longest-tenured athlete, this opportunity of leadership is one I’ve sought after since 2015. I am beyond happy to announce that I am now a Co-Owner of isn’t just a game – it’s a pathway.
He is now a regular streamer on Twitch, posts videos on his YouTube channel, and became a partial owner of his eSports sponsor, Team Liquid. However, with less of an emphasis on tournaments, DeBiedma used this opportunity to focus on other aspects of his career. As a result, some players have felt that it just isn’t the same. This created less of an emphasis on tournaments because Melee was never meant to be an online game, but an in-person head-to-head experience. In-person tournaments became more difficult to attend during the pandemic and a lot of players like DeBiedma were forced to move to online tournaments. Throughout that period, DeBiedma and his use of the character Jigglypuff rocketed him up the rankings to eventually become the most dominant player in the game.
Before the 2020 pandemic, tournaments with hundreds of spectators cheering were common and the game managed to be a regular part of the rotation at the EVO fighting game tournament in the mid-2010s. The GameCube multiplayer fighting game has an active and vibrant eSports community that has managed to keep the game alive 20 years after its initial release. Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma is the number one Super Smash Bros.
