Summary
Crab 2 consisted of 40 artists in 8 teams competing in a league-styled tournament. In three rounds, contestants are randomly assigned against each other - the first two rounds being dancing and cooking, with the final round being a one-on-one fight in the esteemed Bucket. The team with the most points after Round 3 wins the tournament. The winning team will receive a prize - a wish to whatever they desire. The losing teams will, along with dying themselves, have their worlds destroyed. The winning team’s world is safe from destruction by the Gamemaster.
