Every year I find myself looking back wishing things were how they used to be but then I sit and remind myself how amazing it’s actually been listen you read the title um this is very likely going to be the last video I ever post on this channel and to help You understand why I’m going to rewind to the start of the year when I was a high school senior waist deep in class work when I got arguably the most exciting DM of my life this was an invitation to something I’d been looking forward to Forever Minecraft championship Yeah if you aren’t familiar with it MCC is the most prestigious the most viewed and in my opinion the most fun Minecraft event in the history of the game if you know me at all you know I’m incredibly competitive so all I could do for the weeks leading up to it was practice Research and prepare until the day finally came I mean I did all right honestly I was expecting better for myself but it was still a very fun time and one of only seven mcc’s I would end up playing this year in other news I played Five Nights at Freddy’s in VR for The first time which was terrifying Nice hi I released my matching lunar cloaks with Wally bear this guy will be important later and invited my friend Levi over from Canada where he streamed from my house while I was gone without me knowing he is not home and I’m streaming from his computer he has no clue Later I got verified on Twitter where I jokingly reached out to some of my favorite artists knowing they would see it until one of them actually responded somehow I ended up playing bedwars with this guy 24K golden an artist with millions of fans now at this point it Was April and earlier that year I had the genius idea of taking some self-paced classes meaning that I don’t have any deadlines all I had to do was finish all the work by the end of the year school ended in a month and I had About half of it done April of this year was literally nothing but studying doing homework and prepping for exams it snuck up on me and next thing I knew I was in MCC 21 and despite being on a team that was predicted to do very badly and having no preparation we did great Whatever dude our team finished first in coins and I placed third individually but then we got rocked in DodgeBall by sapnap and that was that school was now finished which means in May of this year I graduated high school I finished fourth in my class the highest guy in my grade And it did the year still at the top of my High School tennis team you remember that guy from earlier that I launched the capes with we’re best friends and we ended up moving in together in May I’m in that house right now by the way so And after graduating freshly in a new house I played MCC 22 on the pink parrots with Tommy in it Ollie and Captain Sparkles Jordan had played in every single MCC leading up to this point and had lost every single one so I made it my mission to win And rest assured this event was insane we placed first overall and I placed second individually but it was not over yet we were matched against Captain puffy awesome dude George not found and most importantly dream this guy is undeniably the best dodgeball player having won all five times he’s played it And I was the guy that had to beat him so it was up to me to lead our team to a victory and once we started down one to two I knew I really had to lock in to win and lock in I did [Applause] We actually won I had broken the curse of Captain Sparkles losing every single MCC and I never felt better in my life this was only the start to what would end up being the best summer of my whole life continuing when I was invited to the twitch partner Summit in Brooklyn Here I met a bunch of my friends for the first time in person got a sandwich the ocky way and even flew first class for the first time not long after this was something I’d been looking forward to for genuinely years VidCon meeting so Many of you is sick and I really wish I had more footage I just wasn’t recording anything going to my first convention being a popular streamer was such a bizarre experience trust me I mean that in a good way like these guys in suits were driving me around I was walking Backstage to get to places it was just so fun being on stage for the dream s p panel was a phenomenal experience that I will never forget especially since I didn’t even know I was gonna be up there until like 20 minutes before I won twitch Rivals dropped some space March Went to the weekend concert which was awesome mcc24 was fine I went to Orlando with my family and cc25 was fine and honestly what really felt weird was that when summer ended I wasn’t going to school all of my friends I had grown up with for 12 years started leaving going Around the country to go to college and I wasn’t because after I graduated high school I decided to try content creation full-time and I guess I should have expected this but it was just such a weird feeling having my friends go form new friend groups go having fun without Me on another note I was in quackity’s Los navadas lore finale I played some Roblox horror games I built this Lego bonsai tree got a pet chat named it Dusty and then I went back to LA for another convention Carl then convinced me to stay in La for another 10 days Until twitchcon happened so I canceled my flight home booked a new one a week and a half away stayed in La streamed from this random facility that was full of streamer setups which shut down like a month later drove down to San Diego and then switch gone I met a bunch more Of you guys unfortunately I got sick for about a day but then I got to experience probably one one of the coolest things in my entire life playing in a Minecraft event live on stage in front of hundreds of people and we got last and once that Was done when I tried to head home our flight somehow got so messed up that I stayed in the LA airport for six hours flew to Chicago stayed there overnight until 6 a.m flew to New York stayed there for an hour and then finally flew home once I was home I celebrated my Birthday with a huge announcement which I will get to later and not long after that was MCC 26 which was their Halloween event this introduced a new game called parkour Warrior which I actually ended up getting first in and I played so well that event that I actually ended up placing first Individual for my first time ever but we didn’t make dodgeball anyways the Halloween season had arrived so I played some horror games and did a Halloween proximity chat Bed Wars event while I was looking nice this began a period of time where for about a month I was just Constantly in Minecraft events for some reason such as Block Wars 1 where I got second place Block Wars 2 where I got second place a speedrunning event with fruit berries where I got second place some more twitch Rivals and then tubbo’s Craftmaster event finally my last MCC of The year was MCC 28 where I went absolutely crazy I ended up with over 3 600 coins which was my best by far but Illumina went a bit more crazy meaning I got second again to round out the year in November I went to North Carolina to visit Carl and the Mr Beast crew which was Incredible Wally and I did a try not to laugh from Carl’s house and we played some Roblox with the whole group but more than anything on this trip I learned a lot about myself I learned a lot about content creation I could talk forever about all the things that I have Yet to improve the things I will improve this year I’ve definitely learned a lot about who I want to be and what I want to do and Carl and Nolan were perfect to talk to about that I could literally sit here for hours and talk about what I’ve Changed what’s yet to change and what’s in the future but honestly I’m just excited for the future if you’re wondering why I have an upload on this channel in five months and what that big announcement was earlier I’ve actually started a new channel I’m doing in-person content I’ve been excited About it forever and I’m so glad to finally get started don’t get me wrong this channel is not perfect yet but I’m having a blast doing it I hope you guys will be along for the ride and as you can probably tell by the title this will Very very likely be the last video on this channel which is really sad to think about at the time of recording this we’re coming up on the five year anniversary of the channel and the main reason I’m not going to be uploading on it anymore is just because it’s not my Passion I don’t want to make myself play Bed Wars I don’t want to make myself do anything I want to do what I’m passionate about if I want to be a content creator for the long run and while I really enjoyed these videos I really enjoyed the community please Don’t get me wrong about that I loved it it’s just not for me anymore and that new IRL channel is going to be that vessel for me to create and be myself I’m still streaming on Twitch I’m still going to be in events and everything but I’m just not going to be uploading on this channel anymore I hope you guys do end up checking out my new channel it’s in the description um two videos are out right now but more are to come thank you guys so much for everything whether you subscribed last Week or five years ago I couldn’t be here without you I know it’s cheesy but it’s true thank you all so so much and here’s to
