=="2GG Curse"==
*[[2GGT]]: monthly/bimonthly events starring a certain player that gets flown out to compete against SoCal's best. Their subtitles are usually '(player) Saga'. Sometimes they are dedicated to another tournament series ([[2GGT: KTAR Saga]]) or another country ([[2GGT: Mexico Saga]]). These events have grown tremendously in popularity in 2016, from less than 100 entrants at [[2GGT: Fatality Saga]] to over 400 at KTAR Saga, culminating at [[2GGT: Abadango Saga]], a one-day national tournament with 564 attendees. Sometimes, usually to avoid schedule conflict with other Smash events, they hold less ambitious events instead such as [[2GG: Breakthrough]] and [[2GG: Pay It Forward]]. These events are dubbed "2GG" instead of "2GGT".
A common theme in 2GG tournaments is the "2GG Curse," where the featured players fail to win the tournament. As of their hiatus, the curse has yet to be broken:

2GGaming (2GG), originally known as 2GoodGaming, is a for-profit organization based in Southern California that hosts events for the Smash community. Since the beginning of 2016, they have grown rapidly with large amounts of support. 2GG has had an increase in stream viewers and more tournament entrants due to consistently organizing and hosting events of high quality for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. They also sponsored top professional players, either for the duration of a tournament or for a longer period of time, like VoiD or komorikiri. As of October 4th 2021, they are on a hiatus.
