Super Smash Bros. Melee Champion Hungrybox to Quit Engineering Job to Play Full-Time

Ranked #2 in the Super Smash Bros. Melee power rankings and the reigning Evolution champion, Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma has long been a shining star in the community. In order to keep his star bright, Hungrybox has decided–and announced on stream–that he will be quitting his full time job as an engineer at paper supply manufacturer WestRock to focus on gaming full-time.

With the company, he was previously traveling between Florida and Georgia, which allowed him time for quality practice. The company however recently shifted his position to rural Alabama–thus making his travel time to get quality practice–and even get to tournaments–unbearable. It was announced at The Big House 6 that if he placed lower than 3rd, that he would be looking for a new career, and his fifth place finish forced his hand.

While he will be focusing on his Melee game and becoming the top player in the world, Hungrybox is hedging his bets and his future by also studying computer programming at home–which may pave the way for him to work on app development at home, or even get a job within the video game industry.
