2GGT is a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament series held on a monthly/bi-monthly basis, mainly in the South California region. First held in December 2015, it is organized and directed by Champ and the 2GGaming team. Each event is dedicated towards a particular player or a group of players that are flown out to compete. 2GGT is largely praised due to the overall efficiency and quality of the tournaments: despite many of them housing well over 300 entrants, singles, doubles and side events were hosted from start to finish in a single day with no time constraints. It has quickly grown in popularity since its inception, having hosted some of the largest tournaments for Smash 4 of all time.

On December 18th, 2016, following 2GGT: ZeRo Saga, tournament director and 2GG crew member Champ announced the rebranding of 2GGT as 2GGC, or 2GG Championship Series.

Trivia

  • 2GGT's namesake is a reference to Dragon Ball GT, and as such, its main logo is also inspired by it, and each event typically follows a "[featured player] Saga" nomenclature, much like Dragon Ball's own naming convention for each saga.
  • None of the featured players have managed to win their own saga as of yet. This is commonly referred to as the "saga curse". A particularly ironic example is Pink Fresh finishing at 17th place at his own saga but winning KTAR Saga 2 months after. Here is each player's placement in their own saga:
    • Fatality Saga - 7th
    • ESAM Saga - 5th
    • The False Awakens - 2nd
    • EE Saga - 49th
    • FOW Saga - 4th
    • Fresh Saga - 17th
    • Mexico Saga - 4th (Hyuga, the best placing Mexican player)
    • KTAR Saga - 2nd (Marss, the best placing player out of everyone who was either from Tristate and/or a former KTAR winner)
    • Abadango Saga - 13th
    • ZeRo Saga - 4th
