SPYRO KINGDOM 2

SPYRO KINGDOM 2 was a speedrunning event promoted by the International Spyro Grand Prix (co-chaired by CrystalFissure and Nintendogen64). The event commenced after Road to SPYRO KINGDOM 2 and featured title matches as well as a variety of other speedruns. The main event of SPYRO KINGDOM 2 was the rematch between the champion, MuddyMaestro and the challenger and former champion Daniel Davidson for the ISGP Championship. This event also saw title defenses for the ISGP Tag Team Championship and the Crassic Speedrunning Championship as well as a high profile triple threat match between the former members of Death Triangle.

Background
SPYRO KINGDOM 2 served as a capstone to the 2021 season of ISGP competition and set the stage for the events and tournaments to come in 2022.

Heading into the event, the current ISGP Champion, MuddyMaestro, found himself in his 2nd reign as champion and had recently made a successful defense of the title back in December at Road to SPYRO KINGDOM against Al Molloy. One thing still loomed over the head of the champ, however, and that was the circumstances in which he won and regained the title from the former champion, Daniel Davidson. Back at the World Tag League Supercard (2021), Daniel Davidson was successful in defeating MuddyMaestro in a three-way dance also featuring DantaFanta to become the new champion. This reign would be short lived, however, as he would lose the title back to Muddy at King of Spyro Style (2021) under less than ideal circumstances. Heading into the race, Davidson fell victim to some miscommunication and misinterpreted the goal leading to Muddy receiving an immediate advantage out of the gate causing the race outcome to be practically decided as soon as it began. Due to this and some impressive results in his trios title defenses, the ISGP chair decided to award Daniel Davidson with a rematch in the main event of SPYRO KINGDOM 2.

For the ISGP Tag Team Championship a title match between the reigning champions Paesani Di Legaia (Al Molloy and Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn) and the Mega Monkes (MayoDr and Yogamoanyo). This match stems from the World Tag League (2021) in which the Mega Monkes finished above Paesani Di Legaia in their block, but more crucially scored a head-to-head non-title victory over the current ISGP Champions. Due to a scheduling conflict, the Mega Monkes were forced to withdraw from the World Tag League and thus were never in contention to receive a title shot, however, the chair of ISGP determined that due to their win over the incumbent champions as well as a strong performance in the World Tag League that they were eligible for a title match at SPYRO KINGDOM 2.

Death Triangle collides! After a year of rising tension, on August 31, 2021, Death Triangle (CrystalFissure, Fromond and Nintendogen64) finally split and went their separate ways. This all came about after Nintendogen64 - who had already wagered his singles speedrunning career in Spyro Speedruns Cup (2021) and lost - made a proclamation that if he and CrystalFissure, the Golden Lovers, didn't qualify for the semi-finals of the World Tag League, then they would cease teaming forever. CrystalFissure reluctantly went along with this bet, still hopeful that they could string together enough wins to qualify. In their last block match, Paesani Di Legaia narrowly defeated the Golden Lovers to win not only the ISGP Tag Team Championship, but to advance further in the World Tag League to Round 2. Tired of Nintendogen64's wagers biting him in the butt, Crystal Fissure approached Paesani Di Legaia and asked to join the group. Coincidentally, Paesani Di Legaia had wanted to make a Trios group of their own volition. They adopted three versions of Crystal Fissure - C-137, C-135, and C-138 (the last of whom had been provoked by barbs Nintendogen64 would make in a later vid to join Paesani Tri Legaia). The third member of Death Triangle, Fromond, also decided that he had grown sick and tired of Nintendogen64's reckless ways and returned to his old tag team partner, KingEurope1, leaving Nintendogen64 all by himself. CrystalFissure would go on to unsuccessfully challenge for the Crassic Trios Championship alongside Al Molloy and Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn while Fromond would team up with KingEurope1 as the Artisan Enjoyers and go on a vendetta against Nintendogen64's family in liam_tbh and Meteora Girl at Road to King of Spyro Style (2021). Nintendogen64 decided to settle things once and for all and proposed a big time triple threat match at SPYRO KINGDOM 2 with 3 stipulations depending on the winner. If Fromond won he and KingEurope1 would receive an ISGP Tag Team Championship match, if CrystalFissure won he and Paesani Di Legaia would receive another Crassic Trios Championship match and finally, if Nintendogen64 wins he will be allowed back in singles tournaments; including ISGP3.

The winner of the Super Crash League, Marcus Terry-Bedford was awarded a Crassic Speedrunning Championship against the reigning and defending champion, Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn. Ever since joining the ISGP community, Gentle Oathsworn had his eyes on the Crassic championship and after months of solid performances in tournaments and events, he was awarded a title match against g4video5 at Road to SPYRO KINGDOM (2021). Seizing the moment, Gentle Oathsworn captured the title for the first time in his career. His first defense would soon be on the horizon; it had been announced that former champion and Super Crash League winner, MTB would receive a title match for winning the final tournament of 2021. In addition to this match, the winner would then go on to face the Number 1 Contender who was to be determined from a match between laura and CharmedSky which also took place at SPYRO KINGDOM 2, thus keeping the tradition of two Crassic Speedrunning Championship matches at the event.

In the 2022 Big Match Schedule, CrystalFissure and Nintendogen64 announced that after a prolonged absence, liam_tbh, would return to the ISGP personality team. This upset Amelia Kuchel as she - a current moderator in the ISGP discord server - had never been asked to fulfill such a role and proclaimed that she is the Real Voice of ISGP. Upon seeing liam_tbh be interviewed by CrystalFissure on a beach in Adelaide she would become enraged and assault leading to a heated confrontation at SPYRO KINGDOM 2.

Three additional matches were also signed to SPYRO KINGDOM 2 including the Monkey vs. Monkey match between Dr. MonkeyMan and one third of the Champions, DessertMonkeyJK as well as two three-way dances/triple threat matches. The first three-way dance featuring 3 North American competitors featuring Charity Royall, Cyreides and Ellie Phantasicgrump. The second three-way dance featuring Crassic Trio Champion, DantaFanta, taking on BobbleDink and GarthVader.
