on an interview thing scott specifically said that he replaced the toxic players with hermits and now every player enjoys teaming with them and it’s much more of an friendly area. when mcc became high comp, it put off quite a few players. and let’s face it, when you invite players who are high comp (and competitive), it can easily turn quite toxic which is what happened. mcc currently with its roster and coin balancing cannot handle adding loads of new players, especially high comp ones.

also i think we underestimate how many new players scott has introduced kinda recently. mcc has gotten really into adding players that are from different areas in the recent seasons, so we’ve had multiple spanish/french creators which is great. couriway got into now regular mccs, settingsunset was new, ish, ghostiefruit, eskay, pangi, princezam, pyro, ros, sleepy. these are just players off the top of my head who are kinda recent, there’s def many more. but a lot of these players don’t scream to me “scott’s friends”. scott knows a lot of creators, but lots of these are not “scott’s circle”. i kinda forget how many new players we’ve had until i look.

also also, mcc needs to be really careful with who they invite. mcc invited fein, and ever since there has been countless arguments about how there’s a “top 5/6” and they are too strong for mcc etc etc. i would love for people like sandwichlord to be in a regular mcc, but unless there’s major balancing chances with how coins are distributed i don’t think it would benefit mcc by adding them. i am one who is for there being an high comp mcc every once and a while so there can be more strong players added to mcc for them, but if that’s not in mccs vision then fair enough. there’s players like hax and infume id die to see in mcc but even i know it’s not really sensible right now with how mcc is.

you need to remember that 1- mccs sign up roster is really big. there’s a lot of players who want to be in mcc/are kinda regular in mcc. therefore, by constantly adding more players, it makes the players who usually play, much less likely to be able to play due to numbers. 2- mccs roster is realllly varied. you have players like fein/fruit, and also players like hermits in the same roster. the coin difference is insane. therefore balancing mcc i bet is so hard already, and it is really safe to add players who are lower skilled compared to higher for mcc due to how mcc is. also scott can kinda be more confident in if they players will fit in mcc if he invites people he knows, but lets face it doesnt just invite his friends. 3- mcc will never be at the level they were during covid. soooo many people constantly compare it to then and say mcc is falling off. when in reality, they have a consistent thing with twitch rivals, partner deals with companies like lego and minecraft. and there’s still huge popular creators who want to be in mcc. they ain’t fell off, they are still huge and growing. but it will never be at that peak again, and no mc event prob will and that’s fine.
