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
