this is a new sideblog dedicated to my mcyt hyperfixations, hi! i'm tofu and go by he/she pronouns, nice to meetcha! i'm into mcyt ( most specifically dsmp ), reading, writing, and animated media!
my comfort streamers are tommyinnit, technoblade, wilbur soot, TINAKITTEN MY DEAREST, and the feral boys!
ok here we go! pls note that these r mostly based on vibes, various stats i decided to focus on, n the occasional wishful thinking, and depending on how things go on the day itself + game order, selection, etc, this prediction order could totally change!
10. red ravens
pls do NOT kill me. i know tommy n phil r amazing. i also know that wisp isn’t too bad. but also there’s something so haunting that 3/4 players in this team placed 36th, 37th, and 38th last event. w tommy getting 18th iirc, but he wasn’t the strongest member of his team last event. also tommy has just been so unlucky this season. idt its a guaranteed last place but i think they have potential n almost everyone else is predicting violet as 10th which i disagree with
9. lime liches
the only reason i’m placing them 9th is because of illumina. i don’t know how good geenelly is at minecraft or how much she’ll improve before the event but as a new player who in my mind doesn’t seem to be very cracked plus ryguyrocky who’s not played a single s2 mcc + hasn’t played in almost a year + usually places 20th on average + puffy whos roughly on a 30th placement type beat… sorry :(
8. green goblins
hbomb n grian r both very good but imo mmm you know how certain players have certain strengths that if they are w a player w Different strengths the combos really good?? hbomb n grian have similar strengths and that could turn out great or work against them bc there isn’t anyone there to make up for their shared weaknesses. geminitay did great for her first event but i don’t see her or niki (who tries her best but things just don’t usually work out :( im sorry) hard carrying to dodgebolt or out of the bottom five
7. violet vampires
this team has two players of interest to me. smallishbeans and seapeekay, two players who have proved that they can reach top 10 when teamed w S tiers. now they are teamed with each other. and also theorionsound and solidarity, the former who gets bottom 10 usually n the latter who is wildly inconsistent where placement is concerned. we’ll see how they end up doing ig!
6. cyan centipedes
ranboo and wilbur were a duo who played very well together last event, getting 9th and 12th place respectively. will they be able to replicate that? we’ll see, but i don’t know how far they’ll get w the captain’s curse (sorry king 😔) looming over their heads and this event only being sneegsnag’s second, wherein he was 34th last mcc
5. blue banshees
i was about to say it could genuinely be any team’s game from this placement onwards and i mean it still could bc pete is pete but 5up has been placing lower than i imagined (26-31st), dantdm hasn’t played in a hot second and is also about mid 20s in placement, plus pearlescentmoon is usually placing bottom 10, so i don’t know how things’ll work out
4. aqua abominations
okay so hear me out: yes punz and ant r a cracked duo. but this team reminds me of mcc16 aqua, which was fundy, ant, 5up, tubbo. ant is ant, punz is a little better than fundy depending on what events ur looking at, and shubble is somewhat like 5up, except she’s played more events that have way more inconsistencies in placement. but they are somewhat equivalent. gumi is new, and she only has one event under her belt. she was 35th i think, which is great, but tubbo is usually placing 10-20th on average. and aqua came 4th in mcc16 iirc so this team could pop off n get higher or end up placing around the same as this
3. mustard mummies
ok so… i thought long and hard about this. this team and all the teams i placed top 3 kept bouncing around and changing places. so take this w a pinch of salt. i could change my mind again literally at any moment. my process is i look at individual stats, i think about the dynamics, i look at past events and what happened and patterns etc etc. and this is what i think. for now. once again! could be anyone’s game. so sylvee in this team is so interesting. bc her last event she was teamed with sapnap and she got 17th, her best placement ever. but also that was partially due to her insane survival games damage pot play from the fountain, and while that was very cool, SG points are mad nerfed now. prior to that her average placement is like 30th thereabouts. could she replicate that placement n do even better? maybe. odds are though i see her placing like about 25th. tubbo n scott r interesting. i think they could each pull anywhere from 10-20th and w sapnap as a teammate they could get about 15th. very much either here or there. the thing is though scott’s very good at build mart n that usually pulls his score up if it gets played but this isn’t a very good build mart team. this is a very different team from those that scott has been in these past few events and it could affect his placement bc of it. he’s still a very good support player though. but like hey. you never know if sapnap might die 3 times in a row in SoT again (do NOT kill me but also like that’s my point he can be a little reckless when it’s a bad idea to be reckless and since this was last event n one of his teammates from that event is still with him… yeah) like final thoughts if we’re directly comparing to mcc17 rr is that depending on the game george beats out scott in some areas n scott beats george out in some areas so ultimately george = scott somewhat as a teammate, sylvee is slightly better than gumi, and tubbo n sapnap r tubbo n sapnap
2. fuchsia frankensteins
OKAY HEAR ME OUT. i know this is unpopular n feels very biased n subjective but please listen. here’s the thing: there are very few s tiers in this event. quig is not in mcc for the first time in ever, fruit is not in this one for some reason, leaving only dream, sapnap, and pete. here’s the thing about mcc17 dream: he would’ve been 2-3rd place individually if not for the SoT disaster (which was not his fault n had nothing to do w his skill n how he played it was just. sigh) AND he literally didn’t even get to play PARKOUR TAG. a free guaranteed first place for him. OR BATTLE BOX. which he could pop off so hard in on a normal day. remember the tnt play he was bridging up to do in sky battle? the man w insane bow aim who shot him out the sky is now his right hand man. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. people say ‘dream is dream’ for good reason. this is HALLOWEEN. he is the defending first place halloween champ for a reason. he has the sky battle most kills record. HE COULD DO IT AGAIN. maybe break his own record. maybe he’s feeling silly. guess what. fruit isn’t in this mcc. who’s the fastest speedbridger now? dream. exactly. he’s gonna bridge at 7.75 blocks per second n get that fuckin first place bonus fuck u fuck all of u. he’s gonna get a fantastic ace race placement too n this time they will not skip battle box n he will USE those leaf blocks. now george. he’s been crazy. he was the best mechanical player on his team in mcc16 n he got fucked by the big SoT disaster of mcc17 n he still came 13th both times. this is a testament to how consistent he has been in s2 post mcc14. that was a cultural reset ok. it changed qnfwt forever n for the better. look at quackity in mcc15 that was literally his one chance to show how he could change n now he will do it again just even better. think about dream’s leadership, coaching, n training skills n how that boosted all his teammates. he literally managed a back to back win he is the ONLY s2 b2b winner. he literally got KARL to become a top 25 player imagine what he could do with AWESAMDUDE who already plays way more minecraft than karl to begin with. he’s a HUNTER in manhunt for god’s sake. YOU DON’T KNOW. this is the one instance where sam being a new player could pay off rather than backfire. WE REALLY DON’T KNOW. im putting them 2nd because I BELIEVE,, but also could be anyone’s game. but i believe in magic n miracles n the spirit of halloween
1. orange oozes
again, i went back and forth like crazy. people are a Little more scared of this team than they should be. but also they could possibly be very right to be scared. gizzygazza is meant to be the nerf here, they’re like bottom 10 usually, mefs is the next most inconsistent one, his point average is real high bc he went crazy in mcc6 when he was teamed w dream. otherwise i’d say he has 15th place potential, maybe even somewhere around 10th if tapl n krtzyy pull him up enough. tapl n krtzyy are tapl and krtzyy. they have similar levels of Go Crazy potential, could really end up bringing it out of each other if it all goes well!
So this isn't an attack on you or ur opinions just a disagreement with one particular point. Hope that's ok.
I dont think your point about adhd impacting watching enjoyment for build mart really stands up. I think there's definitely room for improvement on the game and it certainly isn't one of my favourites to watch I just dont think that particular angle holds weight.
As a person with an anxiety disorder watching some of the more high octane games like survival games is second hand stressful enough for me that I've had to tab out before. I recognise that my particular diagnosis makes watching that mini game less enjoyable for me but I dont think that means they need to reshape it for my benefit. Again this isn't me saying you're wrong about build mart needing a change in general I just don't think every game can suit the needs of every viewer and complete accessibility is pretty much impossible with a viewership of the size they have.
every game can’t suit the needs of every player doesn’t mean we can’t talk about why there is a staggering amount of issues that a lot of people w certain neurodevelopmental disorders struggle with as a result
basically, it’s not THIS INCONVENIENCES ME CHANGE IT NOW. what some of us are saying is this: please take into consideration that this is actually a very common struggle that many people are facing for various reasons, and perhaps find that a good reason to make some changes. some of the streamers genuinely struggle with/don’t have fun with an intense memory + color + visual/spatial based game like build mart. it is NOT a coincidence that many of them are neurodivergent, and being neurodivergent and good at build mart does NOT mean the concerns of these other neurodivergent people are invalid. different neurodivergent people have different needs and symptoms. many ccs are neurodivergent and that’s not a coincidence!
the feedback from neurodivergent viewers aren’t meant to say, I DON’T LIKE WATCHING THIS AND IT CONFUSES ME SO IT MUST CHANGE. the opinions of neurodivergent viewers who struggle with build mart are largely meant to bolster/make more apparent the real issues that some of the neurodivergent mcc players have with build mart. it is NOT an attack on any creator, it is NOT an attack on noxcrew or mcc the event. it is not wrong to say things like ‘this event disproportionately challenges players with adhd/autism and colorblindness’ for instance. inclusivity should always be the goal. there’s no perfect way to do it, but we should always try to work towards it in whatever capacity. hope that makes sense
Broo none of you have a fucking clue what you’re talking about. (Not you Mish ily)
Firstly Everything in Minecraft is a visual/spatial thing it’s a video game. what the fuck are you fucking talking about
Ace Race is literally nothing like the others. It’s an individual game and minus MCC 14 it’s overwhelmingly clear where to go and what to do. It’s not a memory game it’s a go in the same path consistently and quickly game. It’s like a super cool game. But it is changed a lot for fairness because it was hard in some parts such as the collisions and they made a whole new trident. Cause as Nox said Minecraft isn’t a race game but they’re damn sure gonna build one.
Gridunners has fucking nothing to do with memory lmao. The colors are an issue George was frustrated with one of the games. It’s a team game first and foremost the best one they’ve ever had. And and when Buildrunners was affecting George and Puffy most notably it was changed. Cause believe it or not Noxcrew cares about their players having a good time.
Parkour Tag is a parkour game believe it or not. Nothing to do with memory, nothing to do with color. And again this is a video game so visual and spatial relations are like... how video games work my dudes.
Also the thing is Survival Games is a lot like Build Mart in that it is a high intensity game with a lot of things going on. But has fuck all to do with memory. And AND you’ll note the best pvpers in the game don’t always do the best meaning non pvpers can and have popped off. Rarely are you getting a Red Rabbits MCC15.
Oh also dumbasses the games you listed? They get reworked and adjusted. Buildmart has reworked and adjusted for the colorblind players. Dream found a work around for the music which was just turning it off. No one is saying Nox Crew is being ableist or targeting players.
ADHD viewers who think about these things are allowed to voice their thoughts and opinions the same way I guess you’re allowed to hop on someone elses post and contribute nothing of value at all
during mcc16 so called ‘george main’ timea gnfincel CHEATED on the george pov and SWITCHED to watch dream mid event because they kept hearing how sexy dream was doing from me
do people still remember the time that quackity asked techno out on a date to get over his fear of him that came from being killed by him multiple times in minecraft monday. techno responded by initiating a terrifying primal game of tag while techno gave quackity a lesson on stamina vs. speed when it comes to predators hunting their prey. quackity lost his hunger after running from techno and techno never sprinted a single time and eventually cornered him. that was the most insane god damn thing that has ever happened and it has barely been touched on even though it eventually became a part of their dynamic. like can we talk about how fucking insane that was??? i havent seen it mentioned since it happened??? that was terrifying??????
how i think a c!george and c!awesamdude conversation might go
c!george: let dream out the prison. im bored
c!awesamdude: …no?
c!george: why not
c!awesamdude: he’s committed atrocities
c!george: i don’t care. let him out. ur annoying me. why do i have to do everything myself around here
c!awesamdude: george if you let dream escape from the prison i will hunt you down and kill you until you are completely dead
c!george: ok i have 5 canon lives rn btw n every time u kill me i gain another 3 canon lives *passes out 5 minutes later n forgets this happened for several months*
