MC Championship is a series of livestreamed Minecraft tournaments created by Noxcrew and organized by Smajor1995. The event features 40 content creators facing off in 10 teams of 4, in various minigames intended to put a variety of in-game skills to the test.
The tournament series has gained a large fandom of people interested in doing sports-typical analysis alongside fanwork creators, with both being very positive with each other and recognized by players.

CCs and Fandom
Participants in MCC frequently interact with fans, reacting to and praising fanworks, and posting on the fan-run subreddit. In general, the creator perception of the MCC fandom tends to be positive.
Also, please continue to make the memes you are for this event, cause I'm dying at them when I read through the Reddit! We know things went wrong, we are going to do our best to fix them, but in the mean time, lets laugh about it! Cause at the end of the day, the event is meant to be fun and bring people together! I've spoken with people on both the Blue Bats and the Purple Pandas, and no one is upset or angry, so don't get mad or send hate on peoples behalf, when they don't want it!
Hey all! KreekCraft here. As you're all probably aware, this is my first MCC Event. And since all of this was kind of a late gathering, I've spent the past day or so practicing and consuming as much MCC content as possible so I have a good grasp on everything going into this.Just writing this post though because I found this subreddit and it's really cool to see such an energetic and positive crowd around an event like this. Obviously with such big names comes everyone inevitably upset that their favorites didn't win or be included in the event. All I've really seen here though is positivity and I've been reading a lot in order to get a better grasp on the event and the players.
So thanks for all the good vibes. Good luck to everyone's favorite creators. 🙏❤️"Exciting to see all the positivity", posted by KreekCraft
hi I’m Jojo and I wasn’t in MCC 26 and I won’t be in MCC 27 because… you know why.I still want to partake in MCC related fun stuff so I’d love to help the underdogs get some knowledge in before the event and hopefully guarantee that win. So if you’re reading this and you’re in MCC 27, DM me :) and if you’re reading this and you’re NOT in MCC 27, please reply for REDDIT KARMA!
Thank you all,
Your favorite Reddit mod, best S-tier and funniest person you’ll ever meet, Jojo (of the solos variety)"i miss MCC content so I'm here to train you.", posted by Jojosolos
I was very anxious about potential negative comments regarding my appearance and the inevitability of being sexualized for presenting as feminine. However, these worries faded when I finally displayed my fit to my stream. I received a lot of support for my self-expression from my stream chat and my MCC teammates, for which I am incredibly grateful. I've been building confidence over the years to express more of this side of myself to the public and I would say today was a mission success :D (Also had an amazing time in MCC Pride this year; SHOUTOUT to Noxcrew & Scott)"Participating in MCC Pride today was a great opportunity for me to express myself :L", posted by TapL
Players often use special team-themed skins which are usually created by pixel artists in the fandom.
Shitposting
While many of the creator posts on the subreddit are genuine positivity, a good portion of other posts fall under the category of shitposting, and are just nonsensical/humorous or stir the pot for commonly debated subjects among the fandom.
Hi Guys, Joel here, just found out that Jimmy does not use a mousemat everytime he plays MCC. How does he do it, please rib him for it. Please discuss"SolidarityGaming Doesn't use a mousemat whilst playing minecraft..", posted by SmallishBeans

A particular form of shitposting common among creators is karma farming, where they post low effort posts with the intention of gaining large amounts of Reddit karma. Sapnap's post "i am the best" is the only post on the subreddit to have recieved the flair "shameless karma farm" from the subreddit's moderators as of December 2023.[2]

I killed Dream and Grian in SG Therefore I am the best ever. thank you
Memes
The MCC fandom has a large variety of memes and in-jokes, like any other big community online. These memes include:
- Quig chains (comment threads where users just reply to each other with "Quig")[4]
- ConnorEatsPants being the greatest player, as well as him sabotaging the S tier players
- "Unpopular opinion, but I don't think _ is actually going to win" (a holdover from a tweet made by Pikaclicks about the three-person team of Technoblade, xNestorio and Cxlvxn in Minecraft Ultimate, another tournament series)
- "Just killed a woman, feeling good!" (said by TommyInnit after killing Katherine Elizabeth in one event)
- CaptainSparklez never winning a MCC despite being in every event (this is no longer the case as of MCC 22)
- Joke tier lists
- Posting every day until _ happens
Some fans aren't fond of the overuse of these memes, believing the spam of them to be obnoxious.
Please Stop the Quig PostsSure it was funny at first but it's just flooding the sub and really annoying at this point please stop
