'''2GGaming''' ('''2GG'''), originally known as '''2GoodGaming''', was a for-profit organization based in Southern California that hosts events for the ''Smash'' community. Since the beginning of 2016, they have grown rapidly with large amounts of support. 2GG has had an increase in stream viewers and more tournament entrants due to consistently organizing and hosting events of high quality for {{forwiiu}}. They also sponsored top professional players, either for the duration of a tournament or for a longer period of time, like {{Sm|VoiD}} or {{Sm|komorikiri}}. 

2GGaming announced its hiatus on October 4th, 2021,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srrba1|title=End of 2GGaming}}</ref> and has since disbanded.

==Tournament series==
2GG hosted several tournament series, most of which saw at least 2 entries. Some of their most prominent series include:
*Sagas: 2GG's main tournament series. Sagas are often national-level tournaments that either stars a certain player or revolves around a prominent Smash franchise. 
**[[2GGT]]: A tournament series held from 2015-2016 that flew out starring players to compete against SoCal's best players. The tournament series helped bring 2GGaming into the spotlight and established the team as a household name.
**[[2GG Championship Series]]: The spiritual successor to 2GGT. A circuit spanning 2017 leading up to a 20-player [[Tournament:2GG Championship|championship]], with a $100,000 pot split between eleven tournaments. The circuit featured some of the largest ''Smash 4'' tournaments of all time, including {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}, a tournament that featured almost all players that were globally ranked at the time.
**Outside of 2GGT and 2GGC, there were three other saga tournaments that were hosted under the "2GG" title: {{Trn|2GG: Hyrule Saga}} for ''Smash 4'' and {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}} and {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}} for ''Ultimate''. A third ''Ultimate'' saga, 2GG: Final Saga, was planned to take place in 2020 but was postponed due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and was ultimately cancelled following 2GG's disbandment.
