Red Bull Smash Gods and Gatekeepers was a tournament that took place in Los Angeles during Labor Day weekend 2017, organized by Red Bull and 2GGaming. It held the record for the largest attendance of a SoCal Super Smash Bros. tournament for four years until it was beaten by Mainstage 2021.

FormatEdit

Eight teams of four were lead by eight players who were either of The Five Gods or a gatekeeper to becoming a god: Mango, Plup, SFAT, ChuDat, Wizzrobe, Axe, Mew2King, and Leffen. For the second player on each team, the captain invited a mystery "disciple" only revealed at the time of the full draft. The bracket played until the Top 32, then 16 would be chosen by the captains to be their third and fourth player on their team. (The "forsaken" 16 would play in their own bracket for cash prizes.) Battles would be a best of five, with the first four games being singles matches on pre-defermined stages: Battlefield for Game 1, Yoshi's Story for Game 2, Dream Land for Game 3, and Fountain of Dreams for Game 4. No player could play more than one game up until Game 5. Game 5 was a doubles match that any teammate could play in, and with the stage selected by standard stage striking.
