Sparg0 continued his hot streak at {{Trn|Collision 2022}} the next weekend, reverse 3-0ing MkLeo's {{SSBU|Byleth}} in winners' finals and 3-0ing {{Sm|Tweek}} in the second set of grands for his second straight major victory. However, at the Mexican invitational {{Trn|Delfino Maza RETA 2022}}, a major in its own right, he finished in 2nd place after Leo pulled out a character counterpick of his own: {{SSBU|Corrin}}. Despite this result, coming out of the first quarter many players started to believe that Sparg0 had the potential to finally dethrone Leo as the best player in the world, and many eyes were on him and Leo coming into {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}. | Sparg0 continued his hot streak at {{Trn|Collision 2022}} the next weekend, reverse 3-0ing MkLeo's {{SSBU|Byleth}} in winners' finals and 3-0ing {{Sm|Tweek}} in the second set of grands for his second straight major victory.

Sparg0 fell slightly short at GENESIS 8, losing to both MkLeo and Glutonny to place third. This, alongside his losses to MkLeo at {{Trn|Relax & Smash at GeekFest Cancún}} and his disappointing 7th place finish at {{Trn|The Gimvitational}}, solidified his rival's position on the throne. Still, despite threats from Light, Glutonny and Japan's rising star {{Sm|acola}}, Sparg0 managed to hold onto his 2nd place position thanks to his incredible first half of the season, as well as his run at {{Trn|Low Tide City 2022}}, where after he fell to {{Sm|MuteAce}} prior to top 8, he tore through the loser's bracket, 3-0ing almost everyone in his path, before double-eliminating {{Sm|Kola}} to take the tournament. | Sparg0 fell slightly short at GENESIS 8, losing to both MkLeo and Glutonny to place third.
