There are always players to look out for at every Minecraft Championship edition.

Fruitberries has two wins under his belt (MCC 6 and MCC 9). He was on teams that made it to the final showdown four more times, but they all failed to win.

Smajor has appeared in every single canon MCC event and is a co-organizer of the tournament. He has a total of four wins (MCC 3, MCC 5, MCC 14, and MCC 18). Including two non-canon events, he has made it to the final round an additional five times.

Hbomb94 is one of only three players in MCC history to have achieved a total of five canon victories. The other two players with this achievement are Sapnap and Dream.

Hbomb94 has played since MCC 1, making him a veteran player. He has won MCC 2, MCC 7, MCC 9, MCC 14, and MCC 20. He also has four second-place team wins.

Sapnap might be the best MCC player out there. He has won five canon events (MCC 11, MCC 15, MCC 18, MCC 19, MCC 21) and the non-canon MCC All-Star event. This brings his total to an incredible six wins. He also has two additional top-two team finishes.
