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* (ZeRo, the saga's winner, placed 3rd at GENESIS 4, the tournament which it promoted and was dedicated to)
- 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 (Ned, the highest placing out of anyone who was either a Midwest Mayhem winner and/or from the Midwest)
- Civil War - 49th (ZeRo) and 25th (Ally)
- GENESIS Saga - 1st* (ZeRo, the saga's winner, placed 3rd at GENESIS 4, the tournament which it promoted and was dedicated to)
