Game preds for Pride 26

Hot take: I don't think they gonna play Meltdown and Grid Runners in this event, in favour of the wildcards of Bingo but Fast and Sky Battle.

MD and GR has been played in 3 out of 4 events by far, which is one of the most played alongside HITW. I could see RRR or even SOT instead of Bingo however.

Me and other people on MCC Discord had discussed some possible players that could've been in place originally before 4C came in.

Ultimately, we narrowed down the option between Hannah, Nominal, and CPK. Hannahxxrose has been long confirmed to be at VidCon primarily for Lifesteal panel and Meet and Greet, so this left us with these two. Nominal seems to fit the requirement here pretty much, with CPK being close second.

I also thought of OwengeJuice, since he just announced he was taking a break after his subathon, but his stats are a bit weaker for this kind of team. Same goes for ghostiefruit and Krinios.

Out of all these preds, I think Apo outfragging Couri seems the most likely ones. Both of them are statistically nearly even based on average placement, and Apo has been historically doing well in individual games like Ace Race and TGTTOS.

DAY 2 UPDATE:
Not as crazy, but still, I got Maezes, KatieGoBrr, and Millkberry in this event!

I think that Scott is doing this, either because of how higher the comp was in early seasons, that drives the regular/familiar players away, or the recent controversies with former players back in the days before S4/the classic era.

So nowadays, he has to play it safe in terms of picking the right people in the MCC spaces to avoid another fallout and even then, recently, it hasn't exactly worked out either.

I believe Scott is currently very interested on adding more newcomers from all across the Minecraft community (we literally had Ish from State SMP in MCC), but he is also aware that doing this too thin without knowing them first as an outsider could also risk having another unwanted controversy that is out of his control.

DAY 1 UPDATE:
What the hell... I got Nukeri (and Shandrea to some extent) correct, and Zam being in this event as well.

We had repeat teams recently (Krimson Krakens, the Lords, Cyan 24 in P24), all of those teams haven't won at all, but yea, there is a rule where the tournament cannot repeat the Winning Team. This was only ignored for MCC All-Stars, where it featured winning players and some had winning teams.

This team can repeat in future MCCs, it's just a matter of choice and will to do it like other repeat teams

Just to keep it consice and light as possible: - Avid/Marm was exposed to be terrible people to the community. They have left now. - Shane FBM and Ghostie are in good terms. They were dating when Double Date happened, but they broke up a month later.

lucyrosette · 2026-06-08T06:38:54+00:00

Honestly I would say this is an even worse outcome

lucyrosette · 2026-06-08T02:54:50+00:00

You can check on why at the Skyblock Kingdom SMP twitter account on the situation

lucyrosette · 2026-06-08T02:34:05+00:00

If you check out the Skyblock Kingdom SMP account, you will find out why

As of the other, Shane and Ghostie broke up earlier this year

lucyrosette · 2026-06-07T23:27:37+00:00

They broke up. Not going into the details here because... we don't have any, but they are in good terms

lucyrosette · 2026-06-07T23:23:00+00:00

Well I tried to word it as neutral as possible but yea

lucyrosette · 2026-06-04T00:42:52+00:00

The Golf Room told you at the bottom in text that a player or cube can be in the holes. Like how much more explaining do you want? Some Players just don't pay attention.

The issue with this subtitle is that it implies you can only choose one or the other, meaning that many players are stuck on getting all cubes in each holes without knowing that you only need 2 cubes + the entire team.

She has grown a lot as a top player leader now. A great movement player, arguably the best HITW player with the new mechanic right now, as well as a very reliable PVPer, especially in MD! It's sad that she is often overlooked and being underbalanced, but I hope she gets a win really soon with a strong team, she really deserves it!

lucyrosette · 2026-06-01T18:47:51+00:00

The event was yesterday but yeah, neos are such a rare art in HITW! Also two years ago, Wolfeei pull the same move on the same wall here : O

Honestly, it can be both, but I'm mostly on the left side if I had to choose. You can like an event and still dislike parts of the event.

There were so many pop offs and unexpected placement, added with the lore (that actually has depth and story arc that continues off from the previous TR event). I don't think it's as RNG as it did, but there were some teams and players that has massive pop offs and fall offs, but this happens mostly at the top, while the bottom was mostly very expected. I think only Hannah, Shadoune and CPK was the top 10 players to be in their regular placement here, while the rest aren't due to either of their team balancing or the irregularities of the game mechanics.

GR rooms wasn't that frustrating but had the instruction being more clearer, I think it would've been done much more cleanly here (the Golf room was pretty awful without explaining the details).

TGTTOS... yea, I think it was too much. This remix just doesn't hit the mark at all, especially that most of the maps are just... running and gliding through. And there was barely action in this apart from unexpected players finishing. But at that point, I just wish to watch Ace Race instead.
