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. <ref name="Larry Lurr tweet">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LarryLurr/status/743234163092795392 |title=Larry Lurr's 2GGT: Civil War idea proposal |accessdate=2016-09-14}}</ref> On December 18th, 2016, with the announcement of the [[2GG Championship Series]], Civil War was revealed to be one of its featured tournaments. | 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.
