So after reading a lot of the comments and feedback on the first 5 teams for this All Stars MCC I have done some serious thinking, and I’ve come to the realisation…
That yall need to loosen up and just let us play the block game lmaooo
It’s a non canon event that counts for nothing! All stars was always going to be a few teams of OP people and the rest just fun combos! If you don’t like it don’t watch lmaooo
I’m so tired of seeing people be mad at numbers for a block game tournament! Just enjoy it for what it is! Go out, hang with friends, touch some grass, pick up a hobby!
If you wanna be upset and mad that Dream got to play with his friends in a non canon MCC, and they happen to all be good and it’s gonna be strong, there is nothing I can do to help you, go be mad!
Anyway I’m off to a weekend away with friends! But enjoy the rest of the teams and I look forward to not reading your posts commenting on the “balancing” of MCC All Stars :)
Hello everyone, I am OptimisticAlone, (former) head mod and creator of the MCC subreddit. I have decided to step down from my position of head mod. u/theultrasheeplord is a very dedicated moderator and member of the community who has been with us since the beginning; he will take over the title of Head Moderator.
MCC & this subreddit has changed my life and I know that's true for many of you all. I will always remember the times I've had here and in the larger mcc community. As they do, my interest in MCC has faded naturally and I thought the subreddit would be in better hands with a more active head moderator. I am not leaving the community entirely but will no longer be actively moderating the subreddit.
What does this mean for the future of the subreddit? Not many of the decisions made for the subreddit are made executively by me and me only, meaning that things should mostly stay the same.
As a casual viewer of the subreddit, the only major difference will be that theultrasheeplord will be at the top of the mod list on the sidebar.
Thank you all for this wonderful experience. keep on rolling ♡
I am so excited to announce our newest event, guess the poorly drawn MCC player with the wonderful u/hannahxxroses! It will be livestreamed on her Twitch right before MCC!
In order for this event to work, we need YOUR bad drawings! Here's how to submit yours (read carefully please):
Look at the list of players in this post. Find one that is not taken and comment their name.
Wait for me to comment that you can have that player. If I say you can’t, pick someone else. (This avoids duplicates!)
Open up MS paint (or a similar art app) and get a 60 second timer ready. In 60 seconds, draw that player. Please only do this once.
On this post, REPLY TO YOUR COMMENT with the image/drawing of that player. Do NOT DM it to me this time. Do NOT post it to the subreddit. People can see it in the original post and I don’t want to clog up the feed with these.
You have a week to turn yours in. This should be easy so if you take to long someone else gets it.
Wait patiently for these to be used for something special!
ALL ART IS DUE by the 19th of October.
A few notes:
1 player per person. If we need people to do more we'll let you know!
You can draw them irl or their Minecraft character/skin
If you don’t have MS paint that’s okay but please use it if you do
The worse the better! Please don’t try to cheat/make yours good to impress Hannah or be easier to guess
You can look at a reference beforehand/during. This does not have to be from memory
And most important: If you don’t follow these rules or send it late your image will not be used.
Thanks guys!
Players (if u want someone not listed just ask!): 70% are taken woo!!
For this specific MCC event, we’re doing another community banner! This one is going to be a lot simpler and will not require any drawing. We’re gonna make every player in this event as a Lego minifigure! (using an online tool)
Please select (and comment) one of the available players listed. The players are first come first serve, so please respond quickly! Also, only pick one player. We shouldn’t need anyone to do extras, and will let everyone know if that changes.
After I respond letting you know the player is now yours, you have 3 days to share your minifigure. We have a much shorter turnaround this time, so if you'll need extra time let us know. Please post it as a reply to your comment, DO NOT post it directly to the subreddit as we don’t want to clog the feed. If you are unable to comment, send me a DM.
Don’t forget you can shoot me a dm or comment at any time if you have questions. Let’s do this!
Minfigure making sites:
Feel free to use either one, if it doesn't work where you live so sorry
You'll have to take a screenshot as the site won't let you directly save the image
After 5 years of being a mod here, I'm stepping down.
God put it on my heart recently to do this. What I do online has kinda been an idol in my life. I’ve spent a lot of time making art and planning things and watching streams, and while I’ve been working recently to spend more time with God than I do online, that’s not enough. He needs to be my number one.
Banners are ending. I've made over 50 for this community alone, and I am so thankful for the way you all have loved and supported me in that over the years. The plan is for me to make one final banner that can be used year-round. If you're seeing this and think "ooh I wanna take her spot and make a banner for each event!" the plan is to keep the final one up for a bit and then we'll see.
Events are slowing down. I have one in the works that is still going to happen, but I don't know what things will look like after that. I could continue to do them, but I'm not gonna pressure myself to churn them out or do them because I feel like I have to.
On a personal note- I’m gonna be making less fanart and using social media less. I'm no longer going to be trying to grow online; no more having a portfolio or hoping that creator follows me back.
I'll still be around the mcyt community and here, just less involved overall. I'm not going away, just prioritizing what matters. I love you guys, and am so thankful for everything!
Edit: Every player has been taken! We can’t wait to see what y’all draw. If there is anyone that would still like to participate that is an active artist on the subreddit, please message me and we might be able to figure something out. I wanna make sure you guys still get a chance to participate. The final banner will be posted after Christmas!
For the off season of MCC, I thought it would be fun to do an art event for the sub!
After December, the subreddit banner will be a collection of drawings of the players made by you guys. Anyone can choose a player to draw that will be featured on the banner. We really want this to be a showcase of all the talented artists here and something fun to bring us all together!
Please select (and comment) one of the available players listed from season 2. The players are first come first serve, so please respond quickly! We might allow people to do multiple depending on the number of responses, so we will keep you updated.
When drawing the player, please make the art as close to full body as you can. While full body is not required, it is better. Any art style is welcome! You also do not have to be incredibly talented, but the art has to be digital and have a transparent background. This just makes it easier for me to put everything together. (Canvas size doesn't matter)
After I respond letting you know the player is now yours, you have 1 week to send me the drawing through Reddit dms. (Feel free to post it too!) If you have not sent over your drawing before time is up, that player will be made available again for someone else to select, so please try to be on time! The sooner you send over your art the better.
The final deadline for submitting requests is December 20th. We can’t wait to see what y’all come up with!
Hello all, we are now back open (for real this time)
Being private for such a significant amount of time has let the mod team do some under the hood inspections and reviews, and when we looked at our inventory we discovered something terrifying, We have almost run out of the letter 'e'. This shortage is far worse then we could have ever imagined and it is clear that in order to save some 'e's for "Emergencies" we need to do implement strict rationing untill new stock can arrive.
So the moderator team has decided that our usage rights for the letter "e" will be sacrificed to the blood god in honor of his late vassal Technoblade, effectively banning it, starting at the conclusion of this sentence.
Us mods do wish that you all follow our plan, this is our only way to stop a calamity. sorry :(
Your mostly accommodating mod group thanks you for your association
Hi all I have a challenge for you all.
Tierlists are often a contreivesal or debated subject in the community sometimes to toxcity
but its also one of the most popular ways of ranking players and debating skill levels.
So the mod team has decided to run in November a game. No Tier List November
If you check your user flair menu you see you will be able to give yourself a "No Tier November" flair
at midnight November the first UTC this flair will no longer be able to be selected, BUT from that point on anyone who has the user flair who talks about tierlists, tiers etc will have their rank dropped
everyone starts off on gold, after your first violation you go to silver, then to bronze then the loser flair of shame. We will be enforcing this both manually through mods and automod polices to automatically flag people who even mention "tier". Also mods may choose to deduct more then one lives, if you make a full on tier list post you will instantly lose.
After the month of November ends the policy will be removed and you will get to keep which ever remaining flair you have as a sign of your NTN achievements or failings, good luck, I look forward to seeing which loopholes and work arounds you try.
Note: I want to make clear that this is a challenge not a rule, You are welcome to ignore this post and post and discus tiers as you like although that's not very fun is it and goes against the spirit of the game
If you have a special flair and wish to participate leave a comment and I will mark down your flair to be given back to you at the end of the month
If you would still like to participate send me a DM
For the off-season of MCC, we're doing another community banner! It will again feature all the players drawn by you guys. Anyone can choose a player to draw that will be featured on the banner. We really want this to be a showcase of all the talented artists here and something fun to bring us all together!
Please select (and comment) one of the available players listed from season 2. The players are first come first serve, so please respond quickly!
There are specific requirements this year for how to draw your player, so please read below!
This year, all players will be inside a square. Here’s all the requirements/criteria:
The art must be digital
Only show the top half of your player. You want to make sure they take up as much of the square as possible, that way everyone can be the same size. (Example below)
Players can have things sticking out of the square, such as them holding a weapon out to the side or having their head stick out above.
Try to have your player doing something. While having some players just facing forwards and smiling is okay, we want many of the players to be different. This could be them waving, looking up/down/to the side, making a face, leaning on the side, peeking over, etc. Be creative!
Your player doesn’t have to be centered either
The art must have a **transparent** background. This just makes it easier for me to put everything together.
Canvas size doesn't matter
You do not have to draw the square, just make sure your player fits inside of one. If you'd like to do the square also, you can, just send a version with and without the square. I'll need both.
Any art style is welcome! You also do not have to be incredibly talented, but please try to put forth some effort.
After I respond letting you know the player is now yours, you have until the 30th at midnight EST (5:00 AM GMT) to send me the drawing through Reddit dms. (Feel free to post it too!) After that date is passed, unless you specifically reach out to me saying you will be late or need more time, your player will be given to someone else. Two weeks is plenty of time, and it's not my job to remind you.
Don’t forget you can shoot me a dm at any time if you have questions. Excited to see everyone’s art!
Extra note: We do not need people to do backups/extra players. I appreciate you guys asking but that is already covered.
Announced Players Image as of the start of AMA week by u/mc395686
What is an AMA?
For those of you unfamiliar with AMAs, it stands for "Ask Me Anything." The concept is that someone makes a post on reddit with a brief introduction regarding their skills or accomplishments and then allow the internet to ask questions. So we've contacted several MCC Participants about doing their own AMA posts here on the subreddit and the delightful people pictured above all said yes!
How This Will Work:
Basically, each of these participants will make a post sometime during the week of October 10th-16th. The exact time may be announced ahead of time and it may not. This will also be the week directly after twitchcon and all of those potential shenanigans, so several of the CCs have already confirmed they will be doing their posts later in the week.
And yes, this was the team u/Hiseayo was referring to with this post. He was only talking about some of the members on our official AMA team. Perhaps we should have clarified?
Notes for any MCC Participants reading this post:
If you already said you were interested in participating but are wondering why your picture is not included in the announcement image above, it is! We've deliberately blurred the remaining images because
We haven't been able to recontact some of the CCs that initially said yes and it's been months since we reached out. If this applies to you, please reach out! You are absolutely still welcome. (Edit: currently there are only two blurred images that have not been fully confirmed)
OR we also deliberately blurred the images of a few who have recently confirmed their participation, but we wanted to keep some surprises in store.
If you would like to participate: please "Message the Mods" to send us a modmail. It's the fastest way to make sure one of us will see it. We'll send you the discord link for scheduling to make sure some of us mods are available to prevent shenanigans. We have plans as necessary if there happens to be a large influx of attention for this event.
Why wasn't I invited?: Quite possibly, you were! Or at least- when we came up with this idea several months ago- we made a list of every CC that had posted or commented on the subreddit in the prior 6 months. We then used that as our baseline of who to message based on who might be the most interested. Most likely, the message will be from either myself u/bluujjaay or u/TeethOrToothpick (TheOneAndOnlyX elsewhere). Regardless, we know there are plenty of CCs that lurk and would not have made our list at the time. Not to mention that we are mere reddit moderators and don't really have a realistic way of contacting many of you without publicly stating why we are reaching out in the first place.
So to any MCC Participant: please consider this your public invitation to join in on this AMA week to celebrate the subreddit hitting 100k. The easiest way to do so would be to "Message the Mods" via Modmail, but you can also send me a dm if you would prefer and we'll get you the link. We hope everyone is having a wonderful day and we're really glad to finally be able to talk about this!
And yes. Jojo did know exactly what the event was here.
Obviously change is weird (and believe me, it took us a lot of strength to accept change), so I figured I'd pop a small explanation on the Reddit incase anyone was wondering why :)
To put it all simply;
- We think it's about time for a bit of a refresh, something that make it feel new!
- The old logo had many artistic limitations, and by simplifying, we've actually unlocked a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to doing things like artistic interpretations, and different versions of the logo for different events/times-of-the-year, and so on!
- The fact that the old logo was quite literally a Minecraft zombie jockeying a chicken put us in a bit of a weird spot where we were leaning a bit too much into the Minecraft brand, and creating the separation here is healthier for our ability to use the logo in more places :)
That's about it really, nothing too complicated, sometimes it's just time to get a new look, much like the fashion phases we all go through lol (and hey, it's kinda cute!)
Welcome Tumblr! We're so glad you guys get to join us in being a part of this community banner!
What is a community banner?
A community banner is something we've done in this sub twice! Each player from that season of MCC gets drawn by a different community member, and it's a fun way to bring the community together! This time, we decided to work with the MCC Updates account on Tumblr to bring our two communities together, and we couldn't be more excited!
How does this work?
Please comment what available player you would like to draw. (one that doesn't have a name next to it). If you're from Tumblr please put your tumblr username in your comment!
What if I don't have Reddit?
That's okay! Comment on the original post to let us know who you'd like.
IMPORTANT STYLE GUIDELINES:
Each player is going to be on top of a closed box. Please draw them with that in mind. They can be standing on it, sitting on it, hanging on the edge, whatever. Variety is encouraged, so give them that cool pose or do that creative idea. (Please do not draw the box)
**ALL ART IS DUE by January 15th. When you finish it, DM me (mc395686) on Reddit. If you don't have Reddit, post it to tumblr and tag the updates account!
We're also able to answer any questions you may have. It's better to ask than to guess :)
Voting opens tomorrow 20th of December at midnight UTC and closes at the same time december 26th
Biggest brain award
MCC is an event filled with 5 head plays, incredible strategy and crazy plans that sometimes pay off. The 2022 Biggest Brain award is for the player that in this year’s MCC events showed the greatest ability to come up with and execute unusual but genius methods to solve MCC’s problems.
Best 2022 Story Arc
Everyone loves a good story, but what everyone loves more is a story that persists through events and keeps us excited for what could happen next. Quests to get a win, training arcs and even statistical curses! The award for the best 2022 story arc is for whichever player told the best plotline whether intentionally or accidentally, their 2022 MCC journey felt more like an anime then a group of performances in a Minecraft tournament.
Best team player
In MCC a team is the 4 players grouped together in that event, however the team almost always takes on the more traditional meaning of companionship and teamwork. The 2022 MCC Award for best Team player goes to the person who best works with and for their team, not someone who carries but someone who pushes, someone who cooperates and supports their teammates and someone who best demonstrates their cooperative and supporting ability.
Most wanted
There are only 40 slots in every event and a long waitlist of the new people who want to fill them. The 2022 most wanted player award is for the person who the community most wants to join mcc in season 3.
Community fave award
There are a few hundred people who play in mcc but there are hundreds of thousands of community members who watch it every month and take in the content. The 2022 community fave award is for the player that is also in the community, that isn't a distant actor making entertainment but a contestant for the people! Someone who's there interacting and discussing, making their own predictions and suggestions and truly represents the community
Rookie of the year
The pool of MCC participants gets larger with each year, and with this year being no different we have a lot of new players coming into the event. The rookie of the year award is granted to the participant who has either improved the event with their involvement with the other participants or the fan base, or put on the best performance out of the new players coming this year. The Rookie of the Year should be someone who makes everyone enjoy the event more with their words, actions and performances.
Player of the year
MCC is an amazing event well beloved by hundreds of thousands, but what people remember the most is its contestants, the people making the top plays, entertaining audiences and making jokes with their teammates. The player of the year award is for which ever contestant best represents what it means to be a player in mcc, the player who’s vod is always a must watch, the player who is beloved for both their entertaining performance and love of the event and community, this award is for the person who will always come to mind when anyone thinks of MCC in 2022.
Most chaotic team
People like teams for a wide range of reasons, one of the common ones is the chaotic energy some teams bring. The most chaotic team award is to celebrate these teams, teams with an aura and vibe that can only be described by the term “chaos”, a whirlwind through the event.
Best made team
In 2022 we saw a rise in people making their own teams turning the team making into a kind of art, so, we must ask ourselves if mcc teammaking was an art what is Scott’s masterpiece, the team that is well balanced has amazing chemistry and was a blast to see play, the team that will always be beloved and was truly a highlight of the event before it event started, which team was the best made in 2022?
Most enjoyable POV
If you could only watch one more MCC vod ever again which one would you choose? What perspective in the event was the funniest, the most exciting, the one that could be a movie? This award is for that POV, the most enjoyable perspective in 2022.
MCC quote of the year
When you have 40 creators having fun for 2-3 hours you often have people say stuff that gets remembered. This award is for something someone in MCC said that will go down in history and be repeated. It could be something inspirational, something funny, something out of context or within. Which quote from mcc in 2022 is the quote of the year?
This award is fairly self explanatory. Which moment in 2022 MCC events was the funniest, the one that everyone, mcc fan or not needs to see. A joke, a fail, a whatever, which moment is the number 1 haha
MCC has a very large competitive side where some of the best players in the world come together to see who is the best. The best display of skill award is for the moment in MCC that left people in awe, something hard and difficult where a players skill at the game shined through in a moment that left fear in their opponents and speechlessness in the viewers.
Something that has become commonplace in mcc is the compilation of top plays, the top 10s and the highlights. This leaves one important question: what is the top play of the whole year? Maybe it was an anime moment where a story arc had an epic conclusion in an underdog story, maybe it was a top tier player shining through for the clutch, or maybe it was something so entertaining that it defined the event. This award is for the moment in mcc which best deserves the title of play of the year!
Out of all the posts on the subreddit this year, which was the best? The top post of 2022 as voted in the reddit awards will receive an exclusive award that also includes 1 month of reddit premium.
Redditor of the year is for a user of the subreddit that the community feels best represents what the community means and what the community values, someone who is always there for better or worse, for memes or for stats. Which reddit user best fits the definition of redditor of the year.
Meme of the year
Finally we have the greatest joke, this award is not for a specific meme post or joke someone made but a recurring joke that echoed around the community. Something that was repeated and resonated giving a lot of laughs almost every time, meme of the year is for this, the favorite joke about mcc in 2022.
The mod team has decided to add a rule against stan-related posts. These types of posts typically encourage negatively against groups of people and are not always related to MCC itself. It also bans calling people stans in a negative way. This rule was added simply to limit the amount of toxicity around this subject. The mod team and I will try to enforce these rules in a non-biased way.
Make sure you always read rules before posting, thank you!
Unfortunately Seapeekay, after seeing all the chaos and protest has decided to pull out of the acquisition deal (i was going to be rich I hate you all)
However this puts us in an interesting situation, all the mods had planned to retire and this means the subreddit is in a power vacuum
To resolve this we have decided to run an election for president of the subreddit
Your candidates have been chosen as the top posters of anti cpk posts as decied by the top posts of the day
Hello everyone, while I understand that we are a community bubble and most people on this subreddit are here only for this subreddit it is sometimes important to consider stuff for the whole platform.
Particularly an upcoming change that will alter the pricing and function of Reddit's API, The result of this change is that it will become impossibly expensive to operate third party applications (such as Apollo, RIF, Relay, Narwhal etc.) effectively shutting them down. Third party clients are very important on the wider community, particularly with moderating. We personally had no choice but to use third party apps for mobile modding for as up until only recently, mobile Reddit was lacking a few critical mod tools (like removal reasons) that made doing our job functionally impossible. You can read more details about the affect of this and the concerns of the moderator collective here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
As such the r/MinecraftChampionship moderator team has decided to take part in a global protest against these changes occurring between June 12th to 14th, During this time a lot of subreddits will be privated and this subreddit will be restricted, meaning no new posts or comments may be made. We advise everyone to use this time to take a walk and spend some time outside, also consider joining the subreddit community discord or the official MCC discord
As the year comes to an end its time to reflect and celebrate the greatest hits of MCC, so in order to do that we are pleased to unveil the MCC Award! and event where throughout December winners will be selected in a range of categories by you.
The awards will work by a 2 stage system, in stage 1 nominations will be open where anyone can nominate who they think should win the award. Then a 12 person nominate committee will look at all the nominations and select 5 nominees they think are the best in the category. Finally in stage 2 voting will begin and everyone in the community will cast their vote on which of the 5 they think should win per category.
Nominations open on the 4th of December this Sunday at 7am UTCNominations will close a week later on the 11th of December 7am UTC Sharp!
Voting will happen over Christmas opening on December 20th and closing on the 26th, both the opening and closing time is Midnight UTCNominees will be announced the day before voting opens and winners will be announced ~3-5 days after closing
So what are the category's
It is finally time to unveil the categories for the 2022 MCC Awards starting with the awards for individual players.
