MCC: The Show (and any associated accounts) are not affiliated with MC Championship, Noxcrew, Microsoft, or Mojang in any way. hello everyone and welcome to the mcc pre-show  i am your host joey capalo and today we’re going  

To be talking about mcc 14 the teams the players  the predictions and the hot takes i’m joined by a   lovely cast of clay hello lads stein hey everyone  and lucario hello peoples so let’s get right into   it and introduce the 10 teams that will be  competing one week from today first up are  

The red rabbits which are made up of tubbo nikki  vickstar and tommy in it this team is reliant on   the dynamic between vickstar and tommy and will do  well if their synergy is on point as they are all  

Members of the dream smp they are likely to have  great communication and be a very fun pov to watch   next up is the orange ocelots this team containing  quigg shovel cara and eric is looking to be one of  

The best all-around teams in the event with  strong pvp from quick and good team synergy   there will sure be a force to reckon with with  sylvie dan sb and kratzy the yellow yaks are bound  

To put on a show with strong support from dan and  silvi kratzy and sp will likely succeed in pvp and   movement based games we also have the lime llamas  consisting of red dog fruit berries false cemetery  

And cub fan this team’s strong games are going  to be team based and movement based games since   fruit berries is the only player that’s really  good at pvp out of this team they’re reminiscent   of the lime team from mcc 11 who got fourth place  and were only hindered significantly because of  

Parkour warrior which may not even be in this  tournament the green guardians have captain   sparkles dream george not found and quackity  obviously the captain’s curse is still in effect   so it’s just a matter of if this team can perform  well enough to finally be the ones to break the  

Curse back from sleeping through mcc2 skeppy  and bad boy halo are returning for vengeance   joined by captain puffy and tapple this team’s  potential is unknown but their previous success   in minecraft monday suggests they can perform  well under pressure the aqua axolotls is one of  

The most anticipated teams of this event with  wisp scott h-bomb in solidarity with this h   factor h-bomb is expected to lead his teammates  to dodgeball and across the mcc finish line   but let’s not forget about the blue bats with  cpk puns catherine elizabeth all being led by  

Satnap this team is gonna be all about potential  since all four of their players have the ability   to really pop off the purple pandas have green  in the littlewood pizza hut and the orion sound   they’re looking to have stand-up performances and  see pete retain his spot as a top five finisher in  

Every mcc to date and green hopefully proving once  again that the dream slayer is still in form and   finally hailing from the origins smp this iconic  team of wilbur fundy and filza joined by the   newcomer jack manifold is sure to be a source of  quality gameplay especially in team games as well  

As some absolutely hilarious content obviously all  these teams have different players with different   weaknesses and strengths so it’ll be up to each  individual team to find their own path to victory   and that’ll be based on what aspects they need to  do well in and what things they need to avoid in  

Order to win so these are their keys to victory  the red rabbits are obviously a very strong team   at their highest peak performance will be  a question of whether or not tommy and vic   can lead their team to victory through having top  10 individual performances so they will be the key  

To their team’s success as they hope to have  pvp games where they can show off their skills   and then less movement games as they try to  stay afloat during those against the other teams   although the orange ocelots have a lot of  veteran experience they are statistically  

One of the weaker teams in this event in order to  succeed quake would need to act as a strong team   leader and strong performances must come from him  and shovel also to make it to the dodgeball arena  

Games such as sands of time or build mart would  need to be picked for the yellow yaks obviously   kratz who will have to have a strong performance  as he can hopefully solidify himself as a top  

Tier player once again as well sb will need to  show that practice can make perfect and put some   of those skills to the test otherwise the team is  looking to have good chemistry and have a variety  

Of games that plays to their individual skills  the lime llamas is a very promising team this mcc   fruit in the hermits is a successful team we  have seen many times before and although the   team is relatively well-rounded games like build  mart and rocket squeak will help them succeed  

The key for the green guardians is all about  confidence it’s about whether or not they can   show up when it counts obviously this team is good  at both pvp and movement games because of dream   so be a matter of whether or not that george  captain sparkles and quacky can carry themselves  

To strong performances to secure captains win  and break the curse the sign creepers has the   potential to be a very strong pvp team if rookies  bad and skeppy perform up to par with high team   synergy and potential leadership from topple this  team will likely succeed in most pvp-based games  

Aqua is currently looking like a fan favorite  and it currently is predicted to win by a lot   of people this is because their keys to victory  is getting team-based games and performing well   in them and then also performing adequately in the  other games but with strong team game performances  

Nothing should keep them out of dodgeball the blue  bats is arguably the strongest team individually   out of the entire event with step up as a likely  team leader this team will succeed at pvp and   movement based games the purple panda is already  being underestimated within the community but on  

A team of pete and green they have a high pop off  potential and they’ll do that and get to dodgeball   through having games such as build mart and rocket  spleef played last and having the pvp games played  

Early the pink parrots is very comparable to the  previously seen red rabbits in order to succeed   this team would be a movement-based game so stay  focused during the event and new player jack would   need to perform well so even with those keys to  victory it will still come down to individual  

Performances and so here are predictions for which  player will finish first overall my pick is dream   dream’s been practicing a lot on the practice  server from what we can see from other people’s   streams he’s performed well in the past few mcc’s  and he clearly very much wants to be the one to  

Break the captain’s curse so i think this will  finally be the mcc where he breaks the curse and   he does that by getting first overall individually  my pick is fruit berries fruit has always been in   top two since mcc nine this consistency combined  with his extraordinary talent in pvp movement  

And his synergy with the hermits will  propel him to his third first place finish   personally i think that pizza hut will  place first individual during this mcc   although he is currently suffering from an injury  that might originally that might initially hinder  

His performance he has a strong team behind him  that will help him succeed in team-based games   and gain him that top spot okay you guys clearly  don’t know what you’re talking about because i   i think there’s a there’s a person here that  you guys are all forgetting i think sapnap is  

Going to be the one to get the top spot this mcc  he’s gotten third place two times in a row in the   last two events and he’s really coming out of his  shell of being more than just another member of  

The dream team in the tournaments that he’s got in  these third place positions only one pvp game has   been played and since pvp is satnap’s strongest  mode if he gets games that are more tailored to   his skill set he could easily be the number one  player so you’ve heard our four opinions here  

Let us know in the comments who you think is  going to be the number one player in this mcc   and we’ll find out who was right a week from today  there’s so many players in this event that we all  

Know and love but let’s not forget that we have  three rookies coming to this event in mcc 14.   we’ve waited for a long time over a year in fact  but at last skeppy and bad boy halo are finally  

Coming to mcc back in mcc 2 they were going  to join but skeppy slept through the event and   bad boy halo didn’t want to play without skeppy  finally they get their chance at redemption these   two have the potential to do really well they were  teamed together in minecraft monday a lot and they  

Even got a couple wins out of it this shows  that they have good chemistry with each other   and since they both know tappl and captain puffy  the team as a whole should synergize very well   there was also the time where dream trained skeppy  at 1.9 plus pvp so skeppy may be a formidable  

Force in games like battlebox and survival games  as long as there aren’t any more issues with sleep   these two should have a very bright future in the  tournament jack manifold comes from the dream s p   where unfortunately he is not known for his pvp  skills outclassed by players like technoblade  

And dream he is however very well connected with  his teammates and this combined with his time on   the practice server gives him the potential for a  very strong performance even though these players  

Are new due to the changes from season 1 to season  2 they are on a much more even playing field than   they would have normally been and it will be up  to how well each player can adapt to these changes  

Thank you stein lucario for telling us about the  newcomers to this event aside from the number one   players and the new players there’s also plenty  of others looking to have standout performances   these are our picks for the dark horse players  the ones we think who will have peak performances  

On the day of the event so my pick for this dark  horse player is a pick that most people would say   already performs very well and that would be  kratzy someone who’s been in the top 10 many  

Times but i think this will be the tournament  where he takes it to the next level he’s been   putting in tons of practice both on stream  and off stream and pvp skills movement skills   and also on the practice server and the games  there so i think this will be his moment to shine  

And show us that he has potential to be another  s-tier player personally i choose whispers my dark   horse although previously placing at around  20th and struggling with team-based games   when teams with players like scott and eighth i  suspect that his pvp skills will shine and gain  

Him the spot in the top ten my dark horse  player is tubbo who’s overshadowed by his   teammates tomina and vickstar he started off  his first mcc phenomenally and performed well   individually in mcc’s 12 and 13 teamed with  tommy in it combine this with his excellent team  

Chemistry with vic and nietzsche temple could  absolutely earn a spot near the top this mcc   my dark horse player is cpk he’s been on the  brink of the top 10 for so long and he came   so close in mcc 12. this is the tournament  that i feel he could finally break that barrier  

He’s been wanting to team with sapnap and puns  for so long and i think that those three plus   catherine will have great chemistry which will  help cpk to excel beyond his previous limits   now outside the players they’re gonna pop off we  also talk about which teams we actually think will  

Make it to dodgeball and which will be the extra  team to look out for so these are our predictions   for who makes the dodgeball and who’s that  wild card team that can surprise everyone   my first prediction for who’s going to make it  to dodgeball is definitely the aqua axolotls  

I think this team is just way too overpowered to  not make it to dodgeball especially since they   have the h factor from h-bomb there’s really  very few ways that this team could lose unless   they get very bad games near the end i also  think the blue bats are going to do pretty  

Well sat nap cpk katherine and puns all have  a lot of potential and this could be the mcc   where they all completely exceed expectations my  prediction for second place is going to be blue  

Another team that i would keep my eye on is the  lime team they have a lot of potential as similar   teams such as the mcc 9 blue bats the mcc 11 lime  liches and the mcc 12 lime llamas have all done  

Very well i wouldn’t be surprised if  they snuck into a spot in dodgebolt   so stein i agree that the lime llamas are a team  to watch out for but i do not think they’re going   to sneak into dodgeball they’re going to easily  make their way to dodgeball as you said they’re  

Similar in composition to teams that have made  to dodgeball before and especially with these   new game changes we’re expecting i think that team  communication synergy will be paramount to having   a great performance i think they’ll be competing  against the green guardians in dodgeball though  

As captain sparkles will finally break the curse  thanks from strong performances from himself   george dream and quackity and that that will lead  to a nice conclusion in the finale of dodgeball   for the end of our first mcc of season two and  for me the other wild card team to watch out for  

Has to be the pink parrots not only have phil’s  unfunded both made for the top 10 a few times   but with strong performances from wilbur and jack  manifold with their great team synergy they could   also find their way into dodgeball joey do  you have any idea what you’re talking about  

Clearly purple is going to win first place  individual between pizza hut green and the little   wood and orion this team has it all the team will  excel in team games but also can hold their own   pvp and movement but who will they face off  against in dodgeball you might ask i think that  

Team will be aqua as stein said i think this team  will use similar games similar to the blue black   cats of mcc 11 to slide their way into second but  with that said there is one team that should not  

Be overlooked the yellow yak comprising of kratzy  sb dan and silvi could easily win the entire event   and pop off with sylvie and dan able to hold their  own kratzy and sb could completely blow everybody  

Away and claim that top spot i mostly agree with  stein i absolutely see aqua and blue earning top   two this mcc h balm and scott are phenomenal duo  followed up by great players like solidarity and   wisp which can easily give them a top two blue  bats also has incredible potential as sapnap  

And puns have always had incredible points and  chemistry added on to cpk’s constantly performing   well and catherine who can certainly pop off with  these players my wild card team is certainly up   to chance as it is the cyan creepers i feel we  are yet to see tapple’s full potential in mcc  

Combine that with the incredible potential of  former minecraft monday winners bad and skeppy   and the experience of captain puffy this team  could certainly earn a spot among the top this mcc   so it looks like the desk gets split on which  two teams are gonna get to dodgeball stein the  

Car you guys are going with aqua and blue and  me and clay have a little more varied options   so stein why don’t you believe in lime and green  why do you think the captain’s curse is still  

Going to continue on i i really just don’t see  dream and george pulling it up like dream has   been doing a bit worse in the last few mccs and  george also hasn’t had the kind of performance  

That i would hope from him i don’t see quackity  improving that much either like he could improve   i i don’t really know i don’t know i i just  i i i don’t have any confidence in that team   lucario clay you guys also believe the captain’s  curse is still gonna continue through season two  

It’s so iconic what would mcc be without the  captain’s curse and even looking at the numbers   like dream has teamed with the captain before  twice and the curse still continued like we’ve   tried this before we’ve tried this before it’s  not gonna change anything they failed both times  

See what what i don’t understand is how can you  not think that aqua’s gonna make it exactly that   team is so op i mean for aqua it comes down to  me it’s a good all-around team but i don’t think  

At this moment they’re gonna have that pop-up  potential on the day that’s gonna carry them   to dodgeball i think other teams other individual  players are gonna show up to this moment and show   up and shine brighter on that day you don’t think  h-bomb or scott or solidarity or wisp will show up  

Individually they literally don’t have a weak game  like is there any game that they would do bad at   i do not think there are games they would do  poorly at i think there are games that they  

Will stay in the mid range at and they will not  have any pop off game there’s also very strong   teams that are also good at team based games so  if they’re not able to get insurmountable lead   in those team-based games because the other teams  then i think other teams movement or pvp skills  

Will help get them the next level and put them  above aqua but this team still has very strong   individual players exactly and the way and the  way i see it is that since they have so many games  

That they would be good at any one of those games  is a high potential for them to completely pop off   like they have so many opportunities to put on a  spectacular performance whereas some other teams   will have only a few games where they’re good at  and so they’ll have less opportunities for that  

There will be some teams that have to make up for  ground that they’re in games that they’re not as   good in aqua doesn’t have that their baseline for  almost every game is good and they can only go up  

From there so everyone those are our picks for  the top two and before you see who we picked to   win in dodgeball let us know in the comments which  two teams you think are gonna get there and which  

Team you think is gonna come away victorious so  i’ll start us off as i said before lyman green   going to dodgeball but green is going to break the  captain’s curse next week well unlike joey i have  

Actual common sense so i believe that purple and  aqua will face off in the final battle and h-bomb   will take the final shot and win the first mcc of  the season yeah i completely agree with play here  

Although i don’t think purple’s going to make  it to dodgeball i think it’s going to be blue   i think i honestly think blue’s going to choke  and it’s hard for me to see aqua losing this mcc  

Well i do agree with stein and clay that aqua  will make it detachable i don’t think they’ll   be able to beat the blue bats as they just  have so much potential to pop off in dodgeball  

So those are our picks tune in a week today to  find out what actually happens when they compete
