The first premier tournament after Civil War was [[2GGC: Nairo Saga]], which was won by ZeRo, though Salem rose back to being the best Bayonetta player as CaptainZack's recent placings became inconsistent while Salem made top 8 at four major tournaments, placing 2nd at Nairo Saga, 7th at [[CEO 2017]] and 1st at both [[EVO 2017]] (notably defeating ZeRo) and [[DreamHack Atlanta 2017]]. Patch 1.1.7 was released the week after EVO ended, though it did not change any characters. | The first premier tournament after Civil War was [[2GGC: Nairo Saga]], which was won by ZeRo, though Salem rose back to being the best Bayonetta player as CaptainZack's recent placings became inconsistent while Salem made top 8 at four major tournaments, placing 2nd at Nairo Saga, 7th at [[CEO 2017]] and 1st at both [[EVO 2017]] (notably defeating ZeRo) and [[DreamHack Atlanta 2017]].

The second half of the year was characterized by Bayonetta's rise in the meta, as Bayonetta's results improved with players such as Salem, {{Sm|Mistake}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} placing top 8 at several major tournaments. Most notably, Salem's tournament victories such as {{Trn|EVO 2017}}, {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2017}} and {{Trn|2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga}} made him a contender for the number one spot, however ZeRo was ultimately able to hold him off by winning [[2GGC: SCR Saga]], [[Shine 2017]] and having a 6-4 record over him. The {{Trn|2GG Championship}} was held in December and was won by MkLeo with ZeRo placing 2nd, Salem 3rd. | The second half of the year was characterized by Bayonetta's rise in the meta, as Bayonetta's results improved with players such as Salem, {{Sm|Mistake}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} placing top 8 at several major tournaments.
