MC Championship, abbreviated as MCC and popularly known as Minecraft Championship is a Minecraft tournament for YouTubers and streamers run by the Noxcrew. The team of the events are organized and coordinated by Scott "Smajor1995" Major. In which ten teams of four compete in a series of eight minigames, the order of which is decided by the participants.
A point multiplier makes each game worth more as the event goes on, incentivizing teams to vote for games they might be bad at early on in the event.
In the end, the two teams with the most points face off in a round of "Dodgebolt" to decide the winner of the tournament. This makes it possible for a team to win despite potentially having fewer total points than the runner-up.
Each tournament is streamed on both YouTube and Twitch platforms, depending on each competitor's preference. There are currently 4 seasons in MCC from 2019 until the present time. There have also been 8 special events, Jingle Jam, Pride (Pride 2021, Pride 2022, Pride 2023, Pride 2024) Rising (Rising 1, Rising 2) All-Stars, Scuffed, and Twitch Rivals (Twitch Rivals 1, Twitch Rivals 2).
