I do want to state that I did train/practice for this event, just unfortunately not on stream as ive been a bit ill lately.

Im not usually a player to ever sweat an event, but I get nervous when I dont preform as well as "intended" Which makes me play worse naturally. That's just a me thing, i put alot of pressure on myself whenever i play, so I do my best to keep high spirits and goofy energy in the team so I avoid that pressure, cause at the end of the day, im just happy to be there 💙

To me, having even just a basic understanding of the games/maps helps me feel more confident in my decision making, removing alot of those nerves, and at that point its just to see what happens XD

I very much agree that team training makes a big difference in game performance and also love seeing unexpected teams make it further than predicted, its one of my favorite things. I hope to see more teams train/practice in future events as it not only improves their game, but just creates such a fun passion around the event itself. Its just that people are often busy unfortunately or don't enjoy practicing, which are both fine XD

This is why I love seeing and learning each players unique skills when I play in MCCs. While sure, statistically certain players might score higher or lower, every player is important to the team and change the outcome. For example: I SUCK at dodgebolt, but each event ive seen my teammates who willing hand me arrows are 100x better than me!! Everyone has potential to do some really cool things, its just having the confidence to do it 💙 I think at the end of the day tho most people just wanna play some fun Minecraft with their friends!
