The '''Carolinas''' is a ''Smash'' region that encompasses the U.S. states of {{iw|wikipedia|North Carolina}} and {{iw|wikipedia|South Carolina}}, combined together into a single region due to | The '''Carolinas''' is a ''Smash'' region that encompasses the U.S. states of {{iw|wikipedia|North Carolina}} and {{iw|wikipedia|South Carolina}}, combined together into a single region due to their close proximity to each other and constant crossovers between their individual ''Smash'' scenes. The region borders [[Maryland/Virginia]] to the north, [[Tennessee]] to the west, and [[Georgia]] to the south. Tournament activity primarily takes place in North Carolina, especially in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and the three cities' corresponding metropolitan areas, though South Carolina also has notable tournament activity in their portion of the Charlotte metropolitan area, Charleston, and Charleston's corresponding metropolitan area. | ||
Due to being sandwiched between the larger MD/VA and Georgia/[[Florida]] regions, the Carolinas had a smaller scene compared to other American regions in early competitive play. Despite their smaller activity, the early 2010s saw the rise of several Smashers in the region, most notably {{Sm|PPMD}}, who became one of [[the Five Gods]] of ''Melee'', and {{Sm|ESAM}}, a Florida native whose tournament career began while he went to university in South Carolina. The scene eventually became one of the fastest-growing scenes in the 2010s, with notable tournaments and tournament series such as {{Trn|Bad Moon Rising}} and {{Trn|Bad Moon Rising 2}}, {{Trn|Clash of the Carolinas|series}}, and {{Trn|Just Roll With It!|series}} attracting sizeable entrant numbers, including some from outside their region, and the tournament debuts of players such as {{Sm|Raz}} and {{Sm|Peabnut}}. The release of ''Ultimate'' especially saw the scene flourish like never before, thanks to greater success from the Just Roll With It! series and its spiritual successor, {{Trn|Patchwork|series}}. As such, though the Carolinas remain smaller than the United States' historically largest scenes, their growth throughout the 2010s has made them formidable in competitive play. | Due to being sandwiched between the larger MD/VA and Georgia/[[Florida]] regions, the Carolinas had a smaller scene compared to other American regions in early competitive play.
