#Also im thinking about it like Tortillaland which had a shit ton of random people and we got some pretty good content out of it

I love big Q so fucking much but I'm afraid he bit off more than he can chew here. He already overextended with the divide (shitload spanish streams, pretty much no english streams, the audience became unbalanced, which while understandable, is also very not good for a comeback) and now the lineup is just random people and very few close friends that would help him carry the burden of connection. There could be a last minute grand announcement of more players that he has strong ties to, but the premiere is literally almost here already. He could also introduce his other friends one by one as the smp goes on, but without a strong ground zero group the new players would have no foothold in the environment, even feel alienated if too many of the people decide to wait out comms and just go off to do something individualy. I pray that Q has iron control of the main plan and interpersonal dynamics are taken into account because I want this to work so bad! I'll send as many good vibes as I can, he deserves it ❤️

Unless I'm forgetting someone, it's actually pretty equal? Philza, Fitmc, Foolish, Jaiden, Dantdm, Wilbur and Slime (the last two im assuming cause they were in the trailer) for English and Luzu, Spreen, Maximus, Missa, Vegetta for Spanish. So it's 7:5 + Q. My bet is in that there will be more people that will either be announced between today and tomorrow or that will be introduced to the story later.

I think that what is making noise to ppl is the fact that hispanics sort of already know each other from past events (still. Its not like theyre best friends or something, probs only Luzu and V are from the same group, Maxo too maybe, but V didnt knew who spreen was until he googled him lmao) , but the english CCs don't really have a relationship between them. Idk, is not like I'm expecting the best server in the world on the first day but I trust Q's capacity to choose people that will adapt into the environment so I don't really think I'll flop (at least not right away).

The point is, a bunch of people are already doomposting about it, but I think everyone should give it a chance to show the potential it has. Just wait and see, then you can say whatever you want.
