Tournament series
- Sagas: 2GG's main tournament series. Sagas are often national-level tournaments that either stars a certain player or revolves around a prominent Smash franchise.
- 2GGT: A tournament series held from 2015-2016 that flew out starring players to compete against SoCal's best players. The tournament series helped bring 2GGaming into the spotlight and established the team as a household name.
- 2GG Championship Series: The spiritual successor to 2GGT. A circuit spanning 2017 leading up to a 20-player championship, with a $100,000 pot split between eleven tournaments. The circuit featured some of the largest Smash 4 tournaments of all time, including 2GGC: Civil War, a tournament that featured almost all players that were globally ranked at the time.
- Weeklies: 2GG also held a couple of notable weeklies:
