On May 28th, 2022 — Team Pink Parrots (consisting of: TommyInnit, Purpled, TheOrionSound, and Captain Sparklez) claimed an unexpected victory at the end of Minecraft Championship 22.

The Minecraft Championships ("MCC") are a monthly series of invite-only events that have been coordinated and held by The Noxcrew and Scott "Smajor" Major since the first ever tournament, which was held on November 17, 2019.

The former and his team mostly handle the technical aspects of the event, such as map design and programming, while the latter is notably in charge of assembling the ten, four-player teams that make up MCC.

Ten teams of four will compete in a sequence of eight (or nine) minigames, all designed to test a variety of skills within Minecraft. The focuses of each of these minigames can range from anything as talent-oriented as parkour, in-game movement, or player-versus-player combat, to general skills like puzzle-solving.

Minecraft Championship 22 was the twenty-second canon event in the second season of MCC. The tournament boasted a couple of brand new features for fans and competitors alike to look forward to, including an entirely new minigame called, "Meltdown."

Team Pink Parrots were an unexpected contender for the win in Minecraft Championship 22. Jordan "Captain Sparklez" Maron is more than infamous for having a continuous stroke of bad luck that delegates him and his teammates to third place; with the curse being dubbed "The Captain's Curse."

Captain Sparklez has participated in every single canon event since the debut, but he'd never won due to this curse. That is, until MCC 22. The curse was finally broken when Captain took the final shot to wipe out their opponents on the opposite side of the arena, Team Red Rabbits.

MCC 22 became the first win for more than half of the victorious team, including Captain, Oli "TheOrionSound," and Grayson "Purpled." For Tommy "TommyInnit" Simons, however, this victory was his third in the history of MCC.

Dream comes in first place for individual coin count in Minecraft Championship 22

MCC always crowns an individual victor based on how many coins a competitor was able to collected throughout the entire event. While the individual victor doesn't get as much of a spotlight as the overall winning team, it's still an impressive feat to be recognized as the participant who collected the most coins.

Clay "Dream," one of the members of the second placing team, was crowned the individual victor for collecting the most coins throughout MCC 22.

While many fans were disappointed that the faceless, fan-favorite streamer and his team didn't win the overall tournament; having collected the most coins out of everyone, including the winning team, wholly makes up for that small loss.

1st: Dream (3247)
