HBomb94 is one of only three players with five canon event wins. He is also one of the forty original players. His victories include MCC 2, MCC 7, MCC 9, MCC 14, and MCC 20. He also has four different second-placed team placements and has been ranked in the top five individually, five different times.

Tubbo has played in every MCC event since MCC 9, making him quite the historic MCC player. Tubbo was on the winning team in MCC 18, and placed sixth individually in the event. His team has also made it to Dodgebolt two other times: MCC 21 and MCC 25, though his team could not win during Dodgebolt. He has also placed in the top five individually, five different times.

Kara Corvus has been participating in the Minecraft Championship since MCC One, and has only missed two cannon events: MCC 22 and MCC 24. She was on the winning team of MCC One, making her one of the event’s original winners. Her team also made it to Dodgebolt in MCC 13, though the team did not win, and therefore came in second.

KryticZeuz is another classic competitor, having played in 14 different events since MCC One, including MCC One. KryticZeuz has made it to Dodgebolt a total of three times: MCC 17, MCC 21, and MCC 23. These teams only pulled off a total victory once, during MCC 21, but making it to the final round several times is certainly impressive.


3) The Green Geckos

The Green Geckos are made up of Smallishbeans, jojosolos, GoodTimesWithScar, and Seapeekay.

Smallishbeans is one of MCC’s original 40 competitors. Him and his team have made it to Dodgebolt four times: MCC Eight, MCC 10, MCC 12, and MCC 16. His team has only managed to claim victory once, during MCC 10. Smallishbeans also has several different top 10 individual placements in MCC.

jojosolos is a player that has played since MCC 21, and has also competed in MCC Rising, MCC All-Stars, and MCC Pride 22. They have placed in the top five individually three times, which is quite impressive, given that they have only competed eight times. They have also won a single non-canon event: MCC Rising.

GoodTimesWithScar is one of the newest players featured in the Minecraft Championship and a member of HermitCraft. He has played in MCC 20 through MCC 25. While he has not had any victories yet, he and his team have made it to the top six two different times over six events.

2) The Red Rabbits

The Red Rabbits consist of Sapnap, Foolish Gamers, Ponk, and vGumiho.

Sapnap might be the single best MCC player in the game. He has won five different canon events: MCC 11, MCC 15, MCC 18, and MCC 21, with an additional victory in the MCC All-Star event. This number of canon wins is unequaled by anyone other than Dream and Hbomb94. He also has two more top two team placements and nine top three individual placings.

Foolish Gamers is one of the newer players found in the MCC, having joined in MCC 22. Foolish Gamers has a single team win under his belt, though it was in the non-canon MCC Pride 22 event, where his team, also the Red Rabbits, won. He placed 10th individually.

Ponk is a player who joined MCC in the MCC 16 event. Ponk’s teams have consistently placed in the top six. This makes Ponk a good addition to any team he is on.

vGumiho has played in eight different MCC events since MCC 17, including MCC Pride 22. vGumiho has placed in the top five teams a total of four times, including the non-canon MCC Pride 22. vGumiho is going to be a great addition to MCC 25’s Red Rabbits.
