Desert Knights is a Super Smash Bros. invitational tournament series that is held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The tournaments are often limited to those that reside in the GCC — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates — though international guests have been invited on occasion. 32 players are invited to the tournament either through qualifiers or based on their performances for that season. The series is often considered one of the most prestigious events in the Middle East, due to the presence of many of the region's best players at each event.
