The top two teams remain the same this time.

Indiv wise, the largest rises are Shelby and X who go from 29th to 23rd and 32nd to 26th respectively. The largest fall is Bdubs, who goes from 26th to 37th.

X 2nd fragging over False is also notable.

Now there’s only a few players left who do we think will be in (and confirmed at twitchcon) ? And do we think Jojo is a caster or player this event?

Just asking

Is anyone else having a problem with the MCC Team generator, I was trying to make team for a what it MCC team predictions, but the website is not working, so I just want to know is anyone else having the same problem with me or is it just wifi

That all, expect a team predictions for a what if MCC team predictions in the next week, okay thank you :DDDDD

I will loose my shi if in Twitch Rivals...Cyan Centipedes from last event just show up together at the Ace Race practice map at that specific place. Would be so funny...

In fact each time they hit that skip, I would laugh so hard...

Do note that, apparently, the shear durability change is a bug from what I heard...

The top two teams remain the same, despite swapping places.

Indiv wise, the largest rise is Scar, who goes from 35th to 29th and the largest fall is Elaina who goes from 28th to 36th.

Teams are ordered by team placement and participants are ordered by gold mined within their team. 4C had the most gold mined in a single round with 110.

Special shoutout to Pink beating Red despite having so much less gold.

Honestly feinberg's whole vod was a clip for me😭

I'm going to preface this with a reminder that the biggest change to SOT this event was to its backend. The generator is capable of a lot more now than it used to be, so it's quite possible that there are some new generation rules that we won't discover until multiple dungeons have been explored.

As for what we could observe this event:

- The hub room was changed! The biggest change is the addition of a twelfth tunnel behind the sphinx, but it was also given more levers (again, behind the sphinx), as well as some new parkour challenges along the side walls.

- The hub room had something removed as well: the Blue Key. You can no longer access the room under the timer, and the Blue Key is now found behind a puzzle in one of the 12 tunnels attached to the hub.

- The Red Key is no longer behind a puzzle in a room attached to the hub. It can now be found down a random path, guarded by 8 zombies that must be defeated in order to unlock the key.

- The Green Vault is no longer directly attached to the hub room, now having a vault path of its own! This increases the number of vault paths to 4, and the number of paths in total to 7.

- Since 7 paths and the Blue Key room make up just 8 of the 12 tunnels, this means the number of parkour/puzzle rooms attached to the hub has been increased to 4. Two brand-new challenges were seen this event, as well as a new variant of one we're already familiar with.

- A few new and returning rooms were added to the generation pool, which I have listed here. Additionally, (some?) rooms can now be mirrored.

I think that's all for this event, but I'm sure there's still more to be discovered. If you think you spotted anything I didn't, please let me know!

If you saw these scores and thought everyone was playing for the first time, that would be completely understandable. MCC Bewitched features the lowest total coins collected since Sands of Time's debut in MCC 5, with the only exceptions being Risings 2 and 3. But in a way, they were playing for the first time. SOT received its biggest update since 2021, with very little being revealed in the update video. All that was known was that vaults and keys were getting reworked, rendering the strategy that defined the meta for the past five years obsolete. Players had to re-learn how the vaults worked on the fly, and they struggled mightily, with only four vaults being opened across all ten teams. Combine that with coins from outside the vaults landing on the low end of the typical range, and you get the lowest-scoring Sands of Time from an experienced playerbase ever.

The winning team this event was Red, and despite their score being below the average of the other eight events in the past three seasons, they ended up in 12th on the canon leaderboard thanks to their competition struggling even harder. Red was led by two of just four players to collect 400 coins in Feinberg and PrinceZam, with Graecie and Ren also recording above-average scores for their respective positions. Impressively, they did this without anyone unlocking a vault, despite four of the other teams managing to get one. Red becomes the first team to collect the most coins in a game of Sands of Time without opening any vaults since 2021, when Cyan Rising joined Orange 12 as the other teams to do so.

Runs are scored according to the following formula: (Coins Banked * 100) / Total Coins Collected

Welcome Shadoune

Look at that gap man im so proud of himmm!

so I noticed feinberg won both the events he was in the direct next event after teaming with tubbo and I found it mildly amusing, except then I remembered fruitberries and sandwichlord did the exact same thing. thus I decided to go look back and this happens far more often than I realised 😭

disclaimer: data pulled from mcc wiki at bleary eyed 3am so there may be inaccuracies of course. also started from mcc 21 since it was his second to last db

green - the top frag got into dodgebolt their very next event after teaming him

yellow - not the top frag, but another teammate got into dodgebolt their very next event after teaming with him

gray - either:

- tubbo top fragged

- top frag teamed with tubbo multiple events in a row

- top frag has not played another event yet after teaming with tubbo

red - does not fit the pattern

the exceptions to this top fragging pattern are currently only Hannahxxrose and Couriway (twice)

technically philza is also excempt, except he HAS in fact won the very next event TWICE in earlier data (after all stars and after mcc 11)

the others who in some events didn't fall into the pattern, have still done it at least once (hbomb and 5up)

this is the most unserious data collection ever my university should throw me out for this

like I just prioritized top frags and only the checked other teammates, otherwise for example apokuna after pride 24 ALSO did the gambit, not reflected in the sheet bc I just realized this

so what does any of this even mean?

if 5up wins the next event he plays i am going to lose my mind (edit: 5up didn't db in Bewitched therefore went against pattern my brain blanked a bit)

same goes for tommyinnit if he returns on a team without tubbo and wins

if you need a top frag nerfed, team them with tubbo multiple times in a row until you're ready for them to win another event (see: hbomb and antfrost)

the only formula ive thought that tubbo himself could win with would be teaming him with Scott Smajor since the only time he ever won was also the only time he teamed with the scriptwriter himself

thank you for listening

Katie said she wants to play in an event with Feinberg. They weren't strictly talking about MCC but this duo very well works in MCC balancing wise. PLEASE SCOTT WE NEED THIS

(New AR as in MCC 23 onward; this is excluding Risings and Hispano)

• He played in rising
• He is now in MCYT
• He is not op (I predict him being A+ tier, approximately 5up, ghostie level)
• He is relatively close to Scott

Overall pretty good addition, no?

The winner of Day 68 is u/ItHeckinWimdy210. Today, we are continuing with MCC: Bewitched!

You can put a screenshot from the event in the comments, and the screenshot with most upvotes wins for the day. This will start from MCC 1, and it will be in chronological order. All Risings, Jingle Jam and Magenta ETrophy will be included as well, so this series will last for more than 2 months

What screenshots am I looking for? I would like to have a screenshot that, without any caption, you can tell what had happened around that screenshot if you have watched the said event: it should be obvious if you know. It can be a memorable moment or a representation of the event. It can be a hilarious moment or a top play. It can be "moment before disaster" type of screenshot, or the aftermath of a moment. Basically, if you're an MCC fan who has watched this event before, you will immediately be able to tell what the context is behind the screenshot

The rules for the screenshot

• If possible, screenshots should be higher quality, but you can also opt for low quality photo if you think that is relevant to the context
• Screenshots should be taken from any VODs or edited videos of that event, and the time should be during event, or pre/post-event within the same MCC VOD, not in the old practice server or MCC Island
• Screenshots from post-event VOD review are allowed
• Screenshots can be from the perspective of any player, the Noxcrew, Twitch Rivals, Rising coaches, spectators, etc.
• Any screenshot or photo taken by the players themselves and uploaded to social media can be used, as long as it's relevant to that MCC, but credit should be given in the caption of the Reddit comment
• Screenshots can be first-person, third-person, replay mod, or even in real life if you think it's that good. Facecams and other stream overlays can be kept as well
• Screenshots can be cropped, but obviously cropping too much will lose the context
• All other photo editing method are not allowed, such as combining screenshots, adding arrows to point, etc.
• YouTube captions should be off when taking screenshots. The progress bar of the YouTube app/website should be hidden when taking screenshots
• No animated GIFs or videos, only photos
• Captions for the screenshot in the Reddit comments are optional, to remind people the context, but will not be part of the submission
• There can be multiple screenshots of the same moment in the comments, but you can always upvote the one that depicts the moment the best, whether if it's a better frame of the same VOD, or different player perspectives

Rules might change as we go along, there might be some things that I've forgotten

Have fun trying to dig for screenshots!
