dudeee, that whole ace race ordeal was so scuffed. like, scott also told his team where to go so he mustve known it was confusing to some degree for players seeing the map for the first time??? obviously no hate to him but man it was a severe oversight letting him playtest :(

yeah and like :( its a lighthearted competition at the end of the day & i don’t hate anyone for this at all but watching the competitors feel so helpless at some points because of all the changes they weren’t clued into was somewhat. demoralizing? like if the point of a competition is to have fun, isn’t it more fun if the contestants know what to expect and can complete the challenges no matter their placing and feel good about it? like in the heat of the moment etc trying over and over again to complete a challenge only to fail miserably and not be able to do it until the time runs out? thats just kinda sad :( and tbh im talking about tgttosawaf more so than ace race for that because there were so many people who didn’t finish at least half the stages. ik it wasn’t maliciously intended to turn out this way, but i think the whole ‘keep big major changes to the games a secret’ from the contestants was kind of a flawed concept!! hopefully we see that change in upcoming mccs tho, ultimately this was the first mcc in the new season and things were bound to be more “flawed” than usual. i think it’s important to stay positive and appreciative but especially as a first time live mcc watcher who was super hyped for this talking through certain emotions i felt watching the event helps me work through them and be more amicable about future mccs :)
