'''2GGC: Civil War''' was an [[List of national tournaments|international]] {{forwiiu}} tournament held in Santa Ana, California, from March 24th to 26th, 2017 and organized by [[2GGaming]]. Most top-level players attended, including {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|Kameme}}. 47 out of the 50 players listed on the [[Panda Global Rankings#Rankings|Panda Global Rankings v2]] entered the tournament. It is widely considered to be one of the most important and hardest ''Smash 4'' events of all time. Outdoor block parties followed brackets each night with musical performances.

Following ZeRo's unprecedented tournament losses to Ally at [[Get On My Level 2016]] and [[Smash 'N' Splash 2]], a strong rivalry arose between the two players, leading to many instances of trash talk and the creation of the Twitter hashtags #TeamZeRo and #TeamAlly, which were used at large by the Smash community to represent which of the two players they supported. To capitalize on said rivalry, Larry Lurr proposed the idea of a [[2GGT]] tournament centered around that theme, and it was greenlit by the 2GG staff as Larry's tweet was met with very strong support. <ref name="Larry Lurr tweet">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LarryLurr/status/743234163092795392 |title=Larry Lurr's 2GGT: Civil War idea proposal |accessdate=2016-09-14}}</ref>

==Tournament summary==
This tournament was the 2nd S-tier event of the [[Panda Global Rankings v3]] season. With 47 out of 50 players on the [[Panda Global Rankings v2]] in attendance (the only absentees being #19 {{Sm|KEN}}, #22 {{Sm|Hyuga}}, and #49 {{Sm|Taiheita}}), Civil War is widely considered to be one of the most important and hardest ''Smash 4'' events of all time.
In a similar vein to {{Trn|CEO 2016}}, the tournament was infamous for having a massive number of upsets. Day 1 of ''Smash 4'' singles notably saw two {{SSB4|Shulk}} players, #79 seed {{Sm|Nicko}} and #75 seed {{Sm|Kome}}, make Top 96 on winner’s side, getting wins over #15 seed {{Sm|ANTi}} (upset factor 5) and #11 seed {{Sm|Tweek}} (upset factor 6) respectively. The first day also saw the unexpected double-elimination of the top 2 seeds, {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|MkLeo}}. #1 seed ZeRo lost to #65 seed {{Sm|Xzax}} (upset factor 12) and #101 seed {{Sm|Luhtie}} (upset factor 13), placing 49th, marking the worst placement of his ''Smash 4'' career, along with his first loss to {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} since losing to {{Sm|Nairo}} at {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} nearly two years prior; #2 seed MkLeo, whose underperformance may have been attributed to potential sickness,<ref>https://twitter.com/Mkleosb/status/845788669843816448</ref> lost to #639 seed {{Sm|Meteor}} (upset factor 17) and #55 seed {{Sm|AC}} (upset factor 10), also getting his worst placement in ''Smash 4'' at 65th. Before the end of the day, #4 seed {{Sm|Ally}} was sent into loser’s side by #36 seed {{Sm|Locus}} (upset factor 7), while #7 seed {{Sm|VoiD}} was also eliminated, losing to {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} main and #39 seed {{Sm|HIKARU}} (upset factor 5) in winner’s after attempting to [[counterpick]] with {{SSB4|Fox}}, and ANTi in loser’s, ending his run at 33rd.
Day 2 continued to see several more upsets, with the remaining top 8 seeds, aside from #5 seed {{Sm|Dabuz}}, all getting eliminated before Top 8. #3 seed Nairo was eliminated by #22 seed {{Sm|Fatality}} (upset factor 6) and Locus (upset factor 8), placing 9th; #4 seed Ally placed 25th, getting eliminated in loser’s by #20 seed {{Sm|ESAM}} (upset factor 5), who lost the first game of the set counterpicking as {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, but won the next three with {{SSB4|Samus}}; #6 seed {{Sm|komorikiri}} was also eliminated by Fatality (upset factor 4) and #9 seed {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, placing 17th; #8 seed {{Sm|Mr. R}} was eliminated by #17 seed {{Sm|CaptainZack}} and HIKARU (upset factor 5), also placing 9th.
{{SSB4|Link}} main and #66 seed {{Sm|T}} continued his unprecedented run on winner’s side, making it all the way to Winner’s Finals after defeating #18 seed {{Sm|Tsu}} 3-1 (upset factor 4), #10 seed {{Sm|Abadango}} 3-2 (upset factor 6), and Fatality 3-1 (upset factor 4), closing out the set after pulling off an unconventional recovery using Link’s {{b|Bomb|Link}}. T’s winning streak would ultimately come to end after a swift 0-3 from Dabuz.
Fatality made his way to Grand Finals through loser’s side, beating {{Sm|Kirihara}} 3-2, CaptainZack 3-0, and T with a 3-0 runback in Loser’s Finals. In Grand Finals, Fatality took the first game off Dabuz’s {{SSB4|Olimar}}, but Dabuz won the next three games, and the tournament, after switching back to {{SSB4|Rosalina}}. This win gave Dabuz his first supermajor/major victory of not just ''Smash 4'', but his overall career, ending a long winless streak.
The tournament also marked Fatality’s and T’s highest placements at a ''Smash 4'' supermajor or major, along with the highest placements of their respective mains {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} and Link. In addition, T's performance at the event, as well as subsequent ranking on the [[PGR v3]], contributed to Link's huge rise on the [[Tier list#Super Smash Bros. 4 tier list|fourth tier list]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Outdoor block parties followed brackets each night with musical performances.
*Civil War stands as {{Sm|ZeRo}}'s worst placing in a {{forwiiu}} tournament at 49th. This record was previously held by [[Super Smash Con 2016]] (13th).
*In line with every past [[2GG]] Saga tournament, the "Curse" continues as neither ZeRo nor {{Sm|Ally}} were able to get into Top 16, let alone win the tournament.
**Civil War also marks the first time ZeRo has lost to a Zero Suit Samus player since losing to {{Sm|Nairo}} at [[MLG World Finals 2015]] nearly two years earlier.
**{{Sm|MkLeo}}, who was seeded 2nd at the tournament, also had his all-time lowest placement, finishing in 65th place after losses to {{Sm|Meteor}} and {{Sm|AC}}, though it may be attributed to potential sickness<ref>https://twitter.com/Mkleosb/status/845788669843816448</ref>.
*In line with every past [[2GGT]] and [[2GGC]] tournament, the "Curse" continues as neither ZeRo nor {{Sm|Ally}} were able to get into Top 16, let alone win the tournament.
**Ironically, ZeRo and Ally both lost to players representing their own teams: {{Sm|Xzax}} and {{Sm|Luhtie}} were both Team ZeRo, while {{Sm|Locus}} and {{Sm|ESAM}} were both Team Ally.

*{{Sm|Mango}} notably made a guest appearance at the event, but did not participate.
*In a similar vein to [[CEO 2016]], this tournament was infamous for top players' poor placings, with {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, and {{Sm|Mr.R}} placing 9th; Ally and {{Sm|ANTi}} placing 25th; {{Sm|VoiD}} placing 33rd; ZeRo placing 49th; and MkLeo placing 65th. This, however, is related to the massive number of upsets that took place at the tournament.
