The '''2GG Championship Series''', or '''2GGC''', was a {{forwiiu}} circuit of tournaments held throughout 2017 in Southern California as a collaboration between [[2GGaming]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esports_Arena Esports Arena]. It was announced at the end of [[2GGT: ZeRo Saga]], and is the spiritual successor to the [[2GGT]] series of tournaments.

==Format==
Twelve tournaments were hosted, one for each month of the year. A prize pot bonus of $50,000 was distributed across the tournaments from January to November, and another $50,000 was in play for the final [[2GG Championship]] tournament in December, making for a total of a $100,000 pot bonus throughout the entire circuit. Players who won any of the tournaments in the series qualified into the Championship, having their travel expenses paid for; other players could also qualify through points earned by placing top 16 in circuit tournaments. Four of the tournaments had the qualifying points doubled, those being [[2GGC: Civil War]], [[2GGC: Nairo Saga]], [[2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga]] and [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]] (the first three being considered "season finales"). In the end, a total of 20 players were qualified.

*Greninja Saga was originally scheduled for April 22nd. However, due to several top Greninja players (ex. {{Sm|iStudying}} and {{Sm|Some}}) being unable to attend the event, it was decided to move the event to May 20th in place of 2GGC: May Saga and not hold a Saga in April (with a Last Chance Qualifier being scheduled later to make up for it).
