Alex Ruiz was playing as General Shao in the Mortal Kombat 1 tournament at CEO 2024.
Juan "Hungrybox" DeBiedma, a professional Super Smash Bros. player, has a history with chair throwing. He has been known for throwing chairs during some of his matches, with some people considering it an expression of his personality and the drama of the competitive scene, while others view it as dangerous and silly. However, it's important to note that DeBiedma's chair-throwing incidents did not result in any significant damages like the recent incident at CEO 2024 involving Alex "Dyloch" Ruiz, where a chair was thrown into the audience, causing damage to a light fixture worth almost $3,000.
The CEO 2024 Twitter account seemed to play up the chair-throwing incident for laughs and online clout, sharing the video of the moment and retweeting reactions from others. It is unclear if they were genuinely upset about the damage or using the situation to promote their event.
