Christopher Szygiel (born August 23, 1987), better known by his handle PC Chris, is an American professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player. PC Chris gained national attention after defeating "The King of Smash" Ken at MLG New York 2006. PC Chris received television coverage on the MTV reality television episode True Life: "I'm A Professional Gamer" and was documented in an episode of the 2013 documentary series The Smash Brothers. The handle PC Chris comes from his hometown of Port Chester, New York.
PC Chris formerly held a title for having the largest prize check in a Melee tournament winning $10K at MLG Las Vegas 2006. PC Chris held the title for about 9 years until Adam "Armada" Lindgren won EVO 2015, earning $11,214.
PC Chris started his MLG career by winning MLG New York Opener 2006, the first tournament in the MLG 2006 Pro Circuit, defeating Ken twice. However, at MLG Dallas 2006, he lost to Ken in winners' finals and then to "ChuDat" in losers' finals, placing 3rd. At MLG Anaheim 2006, he lost to ChuDat again in winners' semis, then defeated "KoreanDJ", "Isai", and ChuDat in losers' bracket, and won the first set of grand finals against Ken, but still lost the second set, placing 2nd. He lost to ChuDat and "Azen" at MLG Chicago 2006, placing 5th. PC Chris also won MELEE-FC6, defeating Mew2King in two consecutive sets during grand finals.
MLG Orlando 2006 proved to be his worst tournament in the season, as he lost to Azen and then to "HugS" early in losers' bracket, finishing at a disappointing 13th place. Despite this, his placement of 2nd at MLG New York Playoffs 2006, where he defeated ChuDat twice but lost to Azen twice, allowed him to qualify for the MLG 2006 championship. PC Chris eventually managed to win MLG Las Vegas 2006 and take the MLG 2006 championship, defeating Azen, Isai, and KoreanDJ twice. In 2007, PC Chris placed 4th at Cataclysm 3, losing to Mew2King and KoreanDJ, 3rd at MLG Long Island 2007, losing to Mew2King twice, 5th at Pound 2, losing to ChuDat and Mew2King, and 2nd at MELEE-FC Diamond, losing to Mew2King in two sets of grand finals. He did, however, win Zero Challenge 3, sweeping through losers' bracket and defeating Mew2King in two sets of grand finals after losing to Mew2King in winners' quarters.
