Saudi Arabia is often considered one of the most active Smash scenes in the Middle East and is centered in Riyadh, which is the home of the Riyadh Smashers, one of the largest tournament series in the Middle East, and Desert Knights, the most prestigious invitational tournament series in the Middle East. Outside of Riyadh, there are also notable Smash scenes in Jeddah, Dammam, and Madinah.
The region is also considered the strongest region in the Middle East, featuring many of the region's best players including Vi, Zozef, and Tooky. Most notably, Saudi Arabia is the home to eMass, who was not only the Middle East's best player during his prime, but also Europe's best Joker player when he went to school in the United Kingdom. Outside of eMass, several other Saudi Arabian players have found success at international events, such as Zozef's performance at Get On My Level 2023.
