Guam
Guam is a Smash region that encompasses the unincorporated United States territory of the same name. While Guam is geographically part of Micronesia, a sub-region of Polynesia, and administratively part of the United States, for competitive Smash purposes, it is typically grouped with the Southeast Asia region, as there is more cross-play between Guam and the other nations in this region. The island is divided up into 19 villages, with the majority of the tournaments being held in Hagåtña, the capital of the island, as well as Dededo and Tamuning. Latte eSports is the principal tournament organization on the island, and manages the Guamanian Power Rankings.
The scene was founded around 2005 by ggpeteq . While Guam continues to have a small Super Smash Bros. Melee scene, the region is primarily known for their accomplishments in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. While a number of players have been ranked first in Guam, including Gotou, Weste and Zoro, the region's most well known player is Allidar. Allidar was able to win the Filipino event, REV MAJOR 2022, which made him the only Guamanian player to win an event ranked above D-tier on OrionRank or any other global ranking.
