In 2019, Chicago Melee saw a fresh face make his debut in the city. Eking onto the Fall PR in last place was Florida transplant Christopher “Ober” Rodbourne. Five years later, after countless hours of dedicated practice and relentless improvement, Ober has achieved what only six others have in CLM history: rank #1. His Act III resume featured dominant records over fellow competitors and an unmatched level of consistency; impressive feats for an era full of upsets and rising stars. He also championed his city at larger tournaments across the Midwest, scoring wins on regional talents like Just, Acid, and Negat!ve.
Despite this success, as the season drew to a close, he had yet to face off against Michael, a perennial titan of CLM and rival #1 contender for the ranking period. Their climactic showdown at RPM #24 saw Ober emerge victorious, securing the title and supremacy that he had chased for so long. In truth, the accomplishment was inevitable—simply the result of robust gameplans, steady breaths, and skilled execution, synthesized into the greatest Falco Chicago has ever seen.
