The '''2GG Championship Series''', or '''2GGC''', is an ongoing {{forwiiu}} circuit of tournaments being held throughout 2017 in South California and Nevada as a collaboration between [[2GGaming]] and eSports Arena. It was announced at the end of [[2GGT: ZeRo Saga]], and is the spiritual successor to the [[2GGT]] series of tournaments.
The tournament circuit remains the most prestigious tournament circuit in ''Smash 4'', with all events in the circuit reaching major status at minimum and greatly bolstering the number of ''Smash 4'' majors that year. Tournaments in the series also often flew out players who mained characters that matched the theme of the tournament, allowing many international players a chance at competing in the United States.

== Trivia ==
*The "Saga Curse" that occurred in the [[2GGT]] series is considered to have continued into the 2GG Championship Series. Here is each sagas' featured player(s) highest placings:
**GENESIS Saga - 1st* ({{Sm|ZeRo}}, while he is a past GENESIS winner, the curse ruling says he must win [[GENESIS 4]], the tournament the saga is dedicated to promoting. ZeRo placed 3rd at that tournament so the curse still stands).
***This is the only curse to have been a result of a certain player winning a Saga and then failing to win ''another'' tournament, as opposed to failing to win the Saga they represent.
**Midwest Mayhem Saga - 4th ({{Sm|Ned}}, the highest placing out of anyone who was either a [[Midwest Mayhem (tournament series)|Midwest Mayhem]] winner and/or from the Midwest).
***ZeRo, the tournament's winner, didn't reside in the Midwest until after the tournament.
**Civil War - 49th ({{Sm|ZeRo}}) and 25th ({{Sm|Ally}}), a tournament intended to highlight their rivalry.
**Greninja Saga - 13th ({{Sm|Lea}}, the highest placing Greninja player).
**Nairo Saga - {{Sm|Nairo}}, 4th
**ARMS Saga - 25th ({{Sm|Sol}}, the winner of the ARMS side tournament).<!--This is the official "curse ruling" for ARMS Saga. https://twitter.com/2GGaming/status/884120281136087040-->
**SCR Saga - 13th ({{Sm|ANTi}}, the SCR 2016 champion) and 3rd ({{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, the SCR 2015 champion)
***In addition, {{Sm|PiXL}} the highest placing {{SSB4|Ryu}}, placed 13th, failing to fulfill a side "curse ruling" (If a Ryu player won the tournament).
**West Side Saga - 7th ({{Sm|Charliedaking}}, the highest placing player from the western USA)

The 2GG Championship Series, or 2GGC, was a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U circuit of tournaments held throughout 2017 in Southern California as a collaboration between 2GGaming and Esports Arena. It was announced at the end of 2GGT: ZeRo Saga, and is the spiritual successor to the 2GGT series of tournaments. The tournament began on January 14th with 2GGC: GENESIS Saga and a new event was held every month -- barring April -- until 2GGC: MkLeo Saga on November 4th. The circuit finale was held from December 1st-3rd.

The tournament circuit remains the most prestigious tournament circuit in Smash 4, with all events in the circuit reaching major status at minimum and greatly bolstering the number of Smash 4 majors that year. Tournaments in the series also often flew out players who mained characters that matched the theme of the tournament, allowing many international players a chance at competing in the United States.

Format[edit]

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.
