Fans of Midwest Melee have long been confounded by the Chicago region's love of Donkey Kong, a lower-mid tier with low representation in most tournaments. Two DK secondaries were featured in the region's power rankings in 2019, and another continues to make a mark on the big stage.
Seeking answers, I reached out to some of CLM's most visible DK's. What I found shocked and stunned me.
