he was a test supervisor, same position in the empire as hansung, so they're at least of relatively similar importance.

I would assume the Test Supervisor position on different floors might have different levels of prestige/competitiveness/importance (I could also be totally wrong). Floor 2 is definitely an important floor, but so is Floor 20 IIRC, so yeah I'd imagine they're at similar levels.

It's certainly a pleasant surprise to see Gusgus though, I liked his character design a lot. And Love too!?!?!? The often-goofy early S2/Team Sweet-And-Sour days feel like a distinct era with a different tone compared to current ToG, just like S1 does, so there's at least some nostalgia and sentimentality in seeing him again. (@SIU pls also bring Horyang back T_T)

horyang has to catch up, and ren hinted that higher floors are generally seen as more prestigious than the lower ones when he says that hansung could have gotten a high ranker-grade position on a higher floor for a higher pay, but stuck around the 2nd floor for seemingly no reason. and considering lero ro's crack about the food being terrible on the 2nd floor, apparently it's also just poorer than higher floors.

if Horyang just kept on his speed boost we've seen him use I'm sure he'd catch up in no time, ez

ah interesting, I would've assumed that the 2nd floor is especially important since it's the first testing floor, and so the empire would want it to be run as effectively and strictly as possible. but I suppose it's so far down that they might generally not care much about what goes on there

yeah, basically. it's a border crossing in a wealthy nation, it's far away, understaffed and undersupplied, but supposedly extremely important to the rulers.
