Minecraft Championship (MCC) 26: Final standings, winners, and more

Beginning on October 22, 2022, Minecraft Championship 26 was an intense and incredibly enjoyable event. Ten teams of four content creators each battled in various minigames until only one squad came out as the victor.

While each team and their players displayed a great performance, Minecraft Championships can only have one winner, which turned out to be the Violet Vampires this time.

The team became the lowest-scoring in MCC history to take the top spot, and the first purple side to win the championship since MCC 4, which was secured by the Purple Pandas. Even more intriguing is the fact that the Violet Vampires' players didn't take a single top ranking in any minigame, making their victory quite surprising to many. With that out of the way, here are the final standings.

Final standings and coin totals

Violet Vampires - 17,980

Cyan Centipedes - 17,255

Mustard Mummies - 16,778
Green Goblins - 16,432
Blue Banshees - 16,322
Orange Oozes - 15,628
Lime Liches - 15,138
Red Ravens - 12,008

Though they weren't the highest-scoring team in Minecraft Championship history, Violet Vampires managed to achieve victory with a lead of over five hundred coins. That said, Aqua Abominations and Cyan Centipedes came considerably close to gaining the top spot in terms of coin total.

Players such as Ph1LzA and Fruitberries appeared to be the biggest factor that drove Violet Vampires to victory. Moreover, Fruitberries took the second-highest personal coin total thanks to his top-five performances in multiple game modes.

In the final bout, the top two Minecraft teams battled it out in a match of Dodgebolt. Though Aqua Abominations displayed a valiant effort in the second round, Violet Vampires won the first, third, and fourth rounds to win the set and the championship. The previous MCC experience of Violet Vampires' members truly came in handy when it mattered the most.

With 40 Minecraft content creators taking each other on in so many minigames, it may be confusing for those who didn't catch MCC live to figure out which participants were on which teams.

There were also substitutions to consider, as some creators weren't able to participate, either for personal reasons, business conflicts, or the desire to compete in the upcoming MCC for the Christmas season.
