Premier Events
7 premier events will be granting an automatic qualifying spot to the Championship to the event winner. In addition, top 16 of this event will earn regional points.
Season Finale Events
Season Finale events are two day events with the winner of the event gaining a spot into the championship. There will be 3 season finale events at the end of each season. In addition, top 32 of this event will earn season finale points.
Last Chance Event
There will be one event prior to the championship to give one final chance to earn a qualifying spot into the Championship. In addition, top 16 of this event will earn regional points.
Championship
A three day event to settle who is the best. The first day will consist of group stage and the second day will consist of the elimination stage. The format is as follows
Day 1 & 2 - Group Stage
20 smashers will be separated into group of 5 with each having 4 smashers. They will then compete in a round robin playing each player once.
The 1st place of each group will auto qualify to the elimination stage. The 5 2nd place will then go into a second round robin where the top 3 placing of the 2nd round robin advances into the elimination stage.
The group stage will take place at eSports Arena.
Day 3 - Elimination
We will then have a classic Top 8 bracket to determine who is the 2GG Champion.
Q&A
What happen if a smasher who already won the previous saga wins another one?
The spot WILL NOT go to the 2nd place but instead will be forfeit and transfer to the leaderpoint qualification spots. That means if one smasher wins every singles saga, one smasher will earn an auto qualify while the other 19 must qualify via points.
Will the 2GGC be in the West Coast Only? Will it expand?
As of this moment, 2GGC will ba taking place in California and Nevada. Since this is our first event, we want to make sure we can run the entire series successfully and having it in our home base makes sense.
If the 2GGC is successful, we plan to expand region and worldwide in 2018.
Will each 2GGC be saga theme?
Yes. Every saga will still be theme just like before. Some upcoming sagas are Nairo and komorikiri saga.
If a new version of Smash gets release on the switch, will the 2GGC switch over to it?
The answer is depends. If it’s a direct port with new character and stages, then yes we will move over very likely. If it’s an entirely new game, it will be based on when the game is release as well as the community reception to it.
At the end, it’s up to the players and community if they want us to switch to the new version or not.
