El Salvador is a Smash region that encompasses the country of the same name. It borders Honduras to the north and Guatemala to the south. Tournament activity primarily takes place in the country's capital city, San Salvador.
El Salvador is considered one of the strongest Central America. Its strength is the result of having many players succeed at Central America's largest events, though not to the extent of Guatemala and Costa Rica's best players. The first to do so was Luisfer, who was able to see respectable performances at Smash 4 majors in the United States. Ultimate especially greatly improved El Salvador's presence in the competitive scene thanks to the region receiving greater recognition on the PGR, whose improved international multiplier for the ill-fated Spring 2020 PGRU season allowed Salvadorian tournaments to count for the rankings for the first time in their competitive history. The post-pandemic metagame also saw improved results from both Romeo Santos and Wolfen, both of whom became the first Salvadorian players to rank on a global ranking on the LumiRank 2024.2. This metagame also saw the rise of the Legends series, which became the largest tournament series in Central America and attracts players from all across Central America and Mexico.
