YGX and CocaNButter were tied with the same number of wins in the final rankings and so YGX leader Leejung had a tiebreaker battle against CocaNButter's Bicki in which YGX was ultimately declared the winner of the first mission. They were given access to the penthouse as the prize.

The second mission, the Rank Mission, was announced: each leader select five dancers including themselves to represent their crew in each rank (Leader Rank, Second Rank, Sub Rank,[b] Assist Rank). Each rank would only have one main dancer, chosen by the judges while the rest will be backup dancers. Each member of each rank made a short choreography to be used in the main dancer evaluation which was voted on by the members of the rank.

Episode 3 (September 7, 2021)

edit

The second mission continues starting with the main dancer evaluation for the Sub rank. Instead of one dancer from each team, there are two and both members from one team will be the main dancers. Want's Emma and Moana were selected as the main dancers. Lachica's Rian is chosen as main dancer for the Second rank. The choreography video recording is then shown for each rank followed by the choreography video itself.

Mission 2: "Ranking"

edit

Each crew leader chooses five members[h] including themselves to be split into four ranks. Each rank will work together to create a dance video. Each rank will only have one main dancer which will be chosen by the judges. The rest will be back-up dancers in the video. Each dancer in a rank will create a short choreography which will be voted on by the members of their rank. The chosen choreography will be the one used to determine the main dancer.

The main dancer's benefits
  • In charge of the center position, choreography, and directing the video for their rank
  • Receive 50 points for their crew
  • Can designate the "worst dancer" in their rank to deduct 50 points from their crew

The worst dancer chosen by the main dancer can choose another dancer except for the main dancer in their rank that they think is the worst dancer. The chosen dancer will have a dance battle with the nominated worst dancer. At the end of the battle, all the dancers of the crews except for those of the battlers will vote for the worst dancer using a "Worst" token. The dancer with more "Worst" tokens is the worst dancer.
