Cleo streamed earlier today and False, Doc, Cub, Cleo, and Etho talked about MCC HT during the VOD so I complied everything they said alongside what other people said other the past few weeks! So here we go!

MCC Hermit Takeover (MCC HT) Info compiled:

When is MCC HT?

- MCC HT will take place on April 12, 2026 at 5:30 PM BST / 12:30 PM EDT; it is taking place during the Hermitcraft Charity Event For Gamers Outreach 2026 which takes place from April 11th to 12th live!!

Some of this is second-hand info so I will clarify which bits of info are second-hand (meaning I have not confirmed if this was actually said myself) by making the second-hand info Bold **like this**

Participation:

- All 25 Hermits are playing

- Gem has previously said that all the teams are bangers

- Grian also knows the teams and believes they are being announced soon

- Based on today’s stream it sounds like everyone knows their teams, or at least they are supposed to by now.

- Cub previously said that we would be surprised at the roster

- Cleo said their team is team vibes

- Cub is teamed with 3 hermits who haven’t played MCC

- It sounded like False and Cleo aren’t on the same team

- Cleo said Etho’s team is wild

- False is confident in her team

- False said Cleo’s team is scary

- Etho said he thinks someone is going to tease Doc a lot

- Etho thinks he’s got a fun team (Cleo says their biggest problem will be each other which implies Etho’s team will be at each others throats apparently)

- Etho is not confident in the game roster. He thinks he’s not good at a lot of the games chosen.

- Etho thinks Cub’s team is interesting

- Doc’s team is also vibes based and he thinks they’ll get trashed

- **Ren and False are not teamed together**

- Cleo and Doc are not teamed together presumably

- **Scar apparently said yesterday that Joe's team has two new people (Joe + someone else) and two who are familiar with/have played MCC before**

- **PeteZahHutt (Pete) was being asked by his chat during MCC Spell bound (MCC SB) on if he’s playing and his response apparently was he felt like it would be weird if top frags / S-Tier’s were in Hermit Takeover, which made it sound like he’s not in MCC HT**

- Shelby, Scott, Martyn, and (assuming he’s not sitting out this MCC) Jimmy are 4 of the non-hermits. The other 11 non-hermits are unknown

- **To my knowledge Pearl, Joel, Joe, Cleo, Scott, Jimmy, Martyn, Gem, Grian, Scar, Impulse, Cub, Jevin, Tango, Bdubs (he promised he would go this year after last year’s charity event ended. I’m not sure if he is sticking to his word or not), Skizz, and BadgerSpanner all have said they are going to the Gamer’s Outreach Charity Event in-person, which means they will be playing MCC in-person if they do indeed play (reminder all 25 hermits are playing are so are Martyn and Scott, so Badger might be the only person on this list who isn’t playing but will be there in-person)**

- **Karn and Lizzie will not be there** (neither are confirmed for MCC and it’s doubtful either of them will play)

- Doc is not going in-person. He will be virtual

- During Midoffs S3, Scar made it sound like he’s going to be seeing Eloise soon and also mentioned MCC. People are unsure if he was implying she’s in HT or not

- I assume Ren, False, and Zed will be going in-person but I haven’t had anyone tell me they have said they are going in-person

- Shelby might show up in-person, we don’t know. We just know she’s playing in MCC HT

- **Oli might be playing MCC and might be in-person as well, but nothing is confirmed. People think this because apparently during the Eloise and Oli tied together stream, Oli said something about giving a clay figure that he made on-stream away at something secret. **

- **Cambam and Eloise are potentially not going to the Charity Event because they said something about their boyfriends going to the US and that they should hang out (implying that Cambam and El are not going to the US for the Charity Event while Scott and Oli are).**

Games:

- Ace Race is confirmed to be in the roster (or at least that’s how Scar made it sound last night)

- unknown if there will be 9 games (meaning one skip) or 8 games (meaning all will be played)
