What is the Minecraft Championship?

The Minecraft Championship (MCC for short) is an event run by Noxcrew in which a variety of big-name Minecraft YouTubers and streamers go head to head in a myriad of exciting events.

The second season of the championship is set to premiere on the 29th of May. It will be streamed by different participants as well as on the official Noxcrew Twitch channel, which can be found here.

Why are Ranboo fans unhappy about the Minecraft Championship?

Earlier today, the official lineup for the next season of the Minecraft Championship was announced via Twitter. Unfortunately, many Ranboo fans were disappointed to find out that their favorite YouTuber didn't make the cut.

Ranboo himself even jokingly tweeted about the situation, which prompted some great memes from his community.

As Minecraft Twitter continues to react to the bombshell news of the MCC's confirmed team lineup, fans are more excited than ever for the debut of the second season, which is set to feature fresh events, maps and chaos.

It's not all doom and gloom for Ranboo fans either, as they can always hope that their favorite forgetful Enderman makes the cut for a potential season 3.

Besides, Ranboo will likely be watching, enjoying and giving his thoughts about the event live with the rest of the Minecraft community as the night unfolds.
