2GGC: Civil War is an ongoing international Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament being held in Santa Ana, California, from March 24th to 26th, 2017 and organized by 2GGaming. A great majority of all of the top-ranked players in the world are in attendance, including ZeRo, MkLeo, Ally, Nairo, Dabuz, Larry Lurr, VoiD, Mr.R, ANTi, Abadango, komorikiri and Kameme. 47 of the 50 players listed on the 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.

On December 18th, 2016, with the announcement of the 2GG Championship Series, Civil War was revealed to be one of its featured tournaments, and will feature a prize pot bonus of $30,000 for the main tournament, and a 10 vs 10 crew battle between Team ZeRo and Team Ally for a prize pot of $10,000. Side events feature a cosplay contest, online/in-person ladders, and a round-robin.

Teams

The main theme of 2GGC: Civil War is the rivalry between ZeRo and Ally and how they "recruited" some of the best smashers in the world to compete in their name. The captains did not pick the players; instead 18 of the best smashers in the world were interviewed by Champ in order to determine which of them they favored, forming 2 core teams of 10 players each. They will participate in the crew battle on Sunday, which will be the tournament's main event.

Anyone who participates in ladders could contribute points to either Team ZeRo or Ally as well as a supplement to the crew battle outcome.

This round robin's objective was to determine the character who will be the main theme of the 2GGC tournament taking place in April, which will be the one the winner used. The players participating in it were first nominated, then the characters used by them were chosen through a vote. Ranai won with Greninja, confirming 2GGC: Greninja Saga.

Trivia

• Civil War stands as ZeRo's worst placing in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament at 49th. This record was previously held by Super Smash Con 2016 (13th).
  • MkLeo, who was seeded 2nd at the tournament, also had his all-time lowest placement, finishing in 65th place after losses to Meteor and AC, though it may be attributed to potential sickness.
• In line with every past 2GGT tournament, the "Curse" continues as neither ZeRo nor Ally were able to win their tournament.
