MCC P23 breakdown :D

This is to let people find streamers with similar identities to their own and support queer content creators. Please keep in mind that there may be people who are not out and that we are not owed that information. I am also only one person and there may be inaccuracies, please kindly correct me if so <3

Red Rabbits are 2/4 LGBTQ (Gem: bi, Cleo: bi and nonbinary(?))

Orange Ocelots are 4/4 LGBTQ (Owen: aro and bi, Scott: gay, Martyn: gynesexual, Guqqie: sapphic and asexual)

Yellow Yaks are 3/4 LGBTQ (Aimsey: lesbian and nonbinary, Jojo: pan, Shelby: asexual)

Lime Llamas are 1/4 LGBTQ (Kara: bi)

Green Geckos are 1/4 LGBTQ (Ranboo: gay/unlabeled and nonbinary)

Cyan Coyotes are 2/4 LGBTQ (Gumi: pan, Illumina: bi)

Aqua Axolotls are 3/4 LGBTQ (Eret: bi and genderqueer, Red: gay, TapL: bi)

Blue Bats are 2/4 LGBTQ (Ant: gay, Vixella: bi)

Purple Pandas are 4/4 LGBTQ (Dave: pan and nonbinary/demiboy, Elaina: bi, Gizzy: gay, Mysticat: androsexual and nonbinary/demigirl)

Pink Parrots are 3/4 LGBTQ (5up: biromantic asexual, Piso: gay and nonbinary(?), Tubbo: unspecified)

If my math is right (which there’s a decent chance it’s not considering I’m queer) that comes out to a total of 25/40 lgbtqia+ participants :D breakdown below the cut :))

Lesbian participants: Aimsey

Gay participants: Ant, Gizzy, Piso, Ranboo, Red, Scott

Bisexual participants: 5up, Cleo, Elaina, Eret, Gem, Illumina, Kara, Owen, TapL, Vixella

Yellow Yaks: Oat-Fudge Bars

Did you know? In MCC 22, the Yellow Yaks were nicknamed The Golden Girls and were MCC's first all-female team!

Welcome to the stage, the Yellow Yaks themed dessert: Oat-Fudge bars! 

I’ve had this idea knocking around in my head since last summer and now it’s done and I finally get to share it! This event is so much fun to watch and participate in as an audience member, so I really wanted to create something that everyone could enjoy!

Check out what I made for the Green Guardians, and, of course, thank you Scott Smajor.

(Check out the recipe below and huge thanks to Garbange for fixing the lighting in the picture! Inspired by these.)

Prep: 5 mins + cutting out the template      Cook:  4h 50 mins*       Overall:  5 hrs

* Includes cooling time (3 hrs).

Ingredients

For the oat layers:

½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted

½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar

1 large egg

2 tsp. (10 ml) vanilla extract

1 cup + 2 tbsp. (135 g) all-purpose flour

¼ tsp. (2 g) salt

½ tsp. (1 g) cinnamon (optional)

1 ⅓ cups (105 g) old-fashioned oats

For the chocolate fudge:

¾ cup + 2 tbsp. (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

¾ cup (175 ml) sweetened condensed milk

2 tbsp. (21 g) unsalted butter

¼ tsp. (2 g) salt

First, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and with the oven rack in the middle of the oven.

In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugars (picture 1).

Then, whisk in the egg and vanilla extract (picture 2).

Next, fold in the flour, salt, and cinnamon (picture 3).

Finally, fold in the oats (picture 4).

Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square pan. Cut parchment paper to fit the pan so that the bottom is covered and the parchment only hangs over two sides of the pan.

Then, spoon about a ¾ cup of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread it so that it creates an even layer.

Set the remaining oatmeal mixture aside.

To make the fudge, add about ½-inch of water to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and place a large glass or stainless steel bowl over top (picture 1). Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water!

Then, add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter to the bowl (picture 1). Gently stir the mixture as it melts.

Once the mixture has a smooth consistency (picture 2), remove the pan from the heat.

Pour the chocolate mixture over top of the oatmeal layer (picture 3).

NOTE: You can also melt the chocolate mixture in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl and stirring after 10 second increments until the mixture has a smooth consistency.

NOTE: Make sure to hold the bowl with a kitchen towel if using stainless steel - it really heats up!

To make the faces, first place the cut-out template overtop of the fudge layer (picture 1).

Then, fill the void areas with the remaining oat mixture that was set aside (picture 2) reserve a very small amount to fill in the areas where the nose was kept attached (the white spots).

Next, remove the template and fill in the areas where the nose was kept attached (picture 3).

Finally, bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The pieces of oatmeal cookie on top should look set.

After the bars are done baking, allow them to FULLY COOL IN THE PAN (about 3 hours).

TIP: I recommend cutting out the faces on the template with an x-acto knife and the pan border with scissors. Don’t forget to leave a little bit of the white area to keep the nose holes and nose bridge attached!

NOTE: You can cook the bars for longer if you want crispier, less chewy bars.

To cut out the faces, start by lifting the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place it on a cutting board (picture 1).

Slice into four pieces (picture 2).

Finally, print a second template and cut the face of one of the Yaks. Place it over top of each bar and use it as a guide to cut out the shape of each face (picture 3). 

TIP: The ears are a difficult since they’re really thin on the cutout. I recommend letting all of that chocolate area be for the ears and to cut out the head starting at the oats. See the title and final picture as an example.

Ta-da! Time to enjoy your tasty treat!

Honestly, I love these so much, 10/10. Not only did the designs come out super well but they taste amazing. 

I’m used to, and still kinda prefer, the ones at Starbucks that don’t include cinnamon (why I made adding it optional) but they’re fantastic either way!

Now, time to get energized and watch our favourite streamers compete in this MCC!

[businessbois]

business! did u see the mcc teams? no prime boys (ive gone dark) but beeduo and dreamnap! also queer team aka scott, one of his husbands (wisp), antfrost, and 5up! tommy is teamed with dad, funds, and conar

- mr scandalous

okay so i was so ready to answer this yesterday but people showed up at my house right as i was about to so i’m getting to it now! i’m just gonna use this to get a lot of my mcc thoughts out

one day we’ll get those primeboys. one day. but like omg this red rabbits team is so cool? like dreamnap is an op duo but also with quackity and michael they’re gonna be so fun!!

bee duo is obviously so freaking exciting! the only reason i’m hesitant to root for the pink parrots is that god himself seems to be working against wilbur soot especially during mccs. i’d be so pleased if this team won though

i think i heard a while ago that 5up was on the mcc waitlist but completely forgot about it until now, but super super cool that he’s in the event now along with ant. wisp i of course adore with every bone in my body and there’ll be a lot of flirty banter on this team with him and scott. i wouldn’t put them super high on rankings just because of the new completely new players, but they’ll for sure be a good time.

i’m so fucking excited for the green guardians. like unimaginably excited. tommy and connor is such a nice duo to watch work together. i remember the mcu they did together and they were so good as a duo even if they didn’t place high in the event. i actually think these guys have such a good shot at winning, fundy, phil, and tommy are all super super good players, like top ten, high a tiers all of them. connor has only been in one mcc, because of pete having to drop and the fact that he was teamed with james charles, im not gonna really say that his performance there is indicative of how he’ll perform in this mcc though. and anyways, quackity was completely new to the event in mcc11 when he was with tommy, fundy, and wilbur and they were nearly in dodgebolt. so super high potential for this team, they’re not only solid but very good in every aspect of this tournament except i’d say possibly buildmart where morale might go down, but even that would hardly damage them overall. not to have an obvious favorite team, but i could talk about these guys forever.

orange ocelots is a super strong team i can already see getting overlooked. any team with pete on it is a strong team, and he and grian’s mcc13 team got 2nd and their mcc14 team got 3rd, i can for sure see these guys in the top three.

yellow yaks is another super strong team. i’m very excited to see the dynamic, punz, the captain, jack manifold, and cpk is not a combination that would ever come to me, but i’m interested to see it. punz is a really good player especially in pvp and that’s where callum’s strength is as well i’d say. maybe that and the sheer power of jack manifold will get the captain his first win?

i don’t wanna underestimate the lime llamas either. obviously mr. gaming is on fire as of late, copping a win in the last canon mcc. oli’s been improving in these last few mccs, his individual coins have gone way up from where they were back when he stopped at mcc6. fruitberries is obviously fruitberries. kara’s a solid teammate and very experienced. they just don’t jump out to me as a top three just because all the other teams are also insanely strong, but they’ll definitely perform well.

i just look at aqua and think “good team.” i wake up to krtzyy notifs that are always “doing some mcc practice,” he and krinios are a tier players. they’re friends with puffy and i think everyone on this team will work super well together. very excited about the puffychu duo on this team and im super happy that niki is feeling good about competing again, especially after she did so well in mcc14.

okay so the only things i know about prestonplayz is that my ten year old cousin watches him and he missed the other mcc he was supposed to be in because of a wedding. he did win an mcm week though i do vaguely remember that. anyways, he seems like a lovely guy, happy he’s finally able to play. fwhip and joel are both like around the top 20 range, i’d put them 25 at the lowest. quig is as always an amazing individual player.

purple pandas kinda insane? illumina’s just coming off his pride win and is always an amazing player. ren and false are both very solid and a good duo. the chemistry and communication on this team will be really great, i believe 3/4 of this team all know each other and i can’t imagine illumina having trouble getting along with them. he’s a great leader and i think they’re gonna be really good

[slliest-clownmari]

Hello again! For the month of June we decided to don our best Icarus costumes because we flew directly into the sun on this one! Extra long disclaimer this time. If you're interested in the technical side what we did and how it went wrong, or want to see the raw numbers, that'll be at the bottom of this post!

Disclaimer: There were two major errors during collection. The first one resulted in five people's views not being collected for the first half hour of the event.  These people were SMajor/Noxcrew, ItsFunneh, Squaishey, ASFJerome, and Mefs, amounting to about 56k views when added back. The second error left a 45 minute gap in the data where nothing is collected. While these are major errors general trends are still visible and neat to look at!

TL;DR: MCCP21 peaked with 627.4k viewers a little more than thirty minutes into the event. 65.4% of those viewers were watching the Pink Parrots, and 87.9% of those were watching Technoblade. The second most watched team was the Lime Llamas at 16.9% of viewership, 77.6% of that coming from Wisp.

For easier viewing of the graphs, check out the Google Slides version! Total Viewership Over Time

The event peaked with 627,421 viewers at 8:33PM which was during Sky Battle. Looking at the trend of the data, this statistic is unlikely to have changed if the missing 45 minutes had been counted, especially seeing how the peak of MCC14 was also easily in the first hour.  Data collection began about an hour before the event's official start at 8:00PM and ended an hour after the event's end at 11:08PM.

Viewership by Individual Over Time

A fun game you can play with this graph, sans the labels, is guess which one's Technoblade! So far everyone I've shown the unlabelled graph to has guessed correct.

Three people went live after the official start time of the event at 8:00PM, those being Technoblade, Grian, and AyChristeneGames. Four streamers had gone offline prior to the end of 20vs20 Dodgebolt at 11:08PM. Twenty of the 24 participants had gone offline within 5 minutes of the event end. This is in sharp contrast to MCC14 where it took 15 minutes to have half of the 36 participants to go offline. MCC14 participants were also more likely to start streaming well in advance of the event. (For context, only Twitch data was collected for MCC14.) This is probably a cultural difference between Youtube and Twitch.

Viewership by Team Over Time

The viewership drop off after a team fails to reach Dodgebolt is a lot more severe this time, and you don't really see the two teams who did get to Dodgebolt get a boost either. Best guess is this is because MCCP21 was non-canon so nobody really cared who won the whole thing if their favorites didn't make it. Another observation: Pink Parrots has a much more severe dropoff during the Bird App Poll than everyone else. Unseen here is the viewership increase when Wilbur's fire alarm went off :(

Viewership Breakdown at Peak by Individual

So, not the most diverse viewership. The most watched person at peak in MCC14, Tommyinnit, only had 21.1% of total viewership. Even if you combine that percentage with the runner-up Dream's numbers, you only get 38.4% of viewership going to them. There is not a single team from MCC14 who captured nearly 57.5% of the viewership. The most they could do was 39.9% (Green Guardians). Absolutely insane degree of domination.

Top Five (Unrouned) 1. Technoblade (360.8k) 2. Wisp (82.2k) 3. Grian (45.5k) 4. ItsFunneh (44.9k) 5. Joey Graceffa (23.5k)

Bottom Five 26. Burren (78) 25. SeaPeeKay (333) 24. Spifey (403) 25. AyChristeneGames (498) 26. InTheLittleWood (521)

Wisp's numbers were so hugely different from last time (0.1% to 13.1%) that I actually sought out people who watched him to confirm he really had over 70k viewers. He did. This probably has to do with having fewer big names to compete with and being on a team with Tommy and Tubbo. Plus, he’s more familiar to the Minecraft community than Joey Graceffa, so fans of Tommy and Tubbo would be more likely to watch Wisp to see their faves. This isn't meant to belittle Wisp or to attribute his viewership entirely to Tommy or Tubbo; MCC is an unfair measurement of the usual popularity of a creator.

Viewership Breakdown at Peak by Team vs Survey Data

The predicted viewership graph was generated using data from a poll I ran on Tumblr and a poll run by u/Epic_Ninja_Dude123 on r/MinecraftChampionship.

Difference from predicted counts (Pred. % vs Actu. %) Lime Llamas: +9.1% (7.8% vs 16.9%) Green Guardians: +6.3% (0.9% vs 7.2%) Purple Pandas: -6.3% (6.7% vs 0.4%) Orange Ocelots: -5.1% (5.5% vs 0.4%) Red Rabbits: -4.1% (6.2% vs 2.1%) Blue Bats: -1.9% (2.5% vs 0.6%) Aqua Axolotls: +1.3% (2.5% vs 3.8%) Pink Parrots: +0.9% (64.5% vs 65.4%) Yellow Yaks: +0.5% (0.0% vs 0.5%) Cyan Creepers: -0.3% (3.2% vs 2.9%)

Standard Dev. for MCC14: 10.22 Standard Dev. for MCCP21: 2.89

Thrilled by these statistics!! The MCC14 survey had nearly triple the sample size (862) as this combined survey, but still ended up closer to actual counts. Real life proof of what they tell you in stats classes! A representative sample is the best kind of sample to have. Something I did not consider when using the survey for MCC14 is its source, a blog on Tumblr that talks heavily about Technoblade and Philza, which obviously biased the audience who took it towards the Pink Parrots (Philza, Fundy, Wilbur, JackManifold). Not a surprise we did better this time but really neat to see logic in action! lol

Another interesting thing about the survey: Reddit and Tumblr do vary a little in taste. It's easier to just show you:

What's missing? I chose not to calculate average/median viewership for the creators involved due to the large gap in data. It wouldn't be correct most likely.

So, how did you do this and how did you mess it up?

(I, the writer of this post, mostly do the analysis part of this project, not the programming. Apologies if any programmers are reading this and it doesn't make sense. :[ )

Our initial plan was do do just what we did to collect the MCC14 data but for YouTube instead of Twtich. (For MCC14 we used a Python program to request the viewership data directly from Twitch using their API.) This was much easier said than done. Unlike the Twitch API, which allows you to get stream information very easily just using a streamer's name, YouTube API doesn't have a "front door" way of getting this stuff. So, we went in the "back door."

First thing we had to do was manually collect the user ID for each participant. The next step is where the first error occurred: we needed to get our program to recognize the user ID as a user ID, which was done by writing a rule. This was stuff like how long the IDs were and what symbols were included in the IDs. We failed to include a symbol that was present in five of the participant's user IDs, so the program didn't recognize them as IDs and didn't run them through the part of the program which found the stream ID and collected viewer numbers. This is why that data was missing for SMajor/Noxcrew, ItsFunneh, Squaishey, ASFJerome, and Mefs in the first 30 minutes.

Another big way in which the YouTube API differs from the Twitch API is that YouTube has a quota system. Every action you can take with the API has a certain number of points connected to it, and you're only given so many points to spend a day per application. We thought we were only making one call to get viewer data for every streamer, but instead we were making a separate call for each streamer. That destroyed our quota pretty quick, resulting in the 45 minute gap in data collection. This problem was solved by moving our code into another application which granted us more quota.

This is an important lesson in testing your programs thoroughly before use!

On the bright side, the YouTube API is much more active than the Twitch API, which would update streamer numbers seemingly at random and not all at once. The YouTube API updated numbers roughly every 15 seconds and updated for all streamers, not just a few. That's why our graphs are higher resolution this time!

Here is the raw numbers: Click me!

Let's talk about next time

SO. Obviously this time around was not super ideal, which is partially on us for not testing more. (At least this was not the only scuffed thing about MCCP21. We were just being on brand, if you think about it.) However! Good news! The quota won't be a problem next time as MCC15 won't be Youtube exclusive.   We have already fixed the YouTube program we used this time around and have begun to merge the two. We might even be able to collect YouTube subscribers and Twitch followers by next time but we're focusing on making sure we get all the data next time.

Thank you all so much for reading! Again, any and all critique and questions are welcome! :]

the amount of content that captain sparklez has been making with tubbo and ranboo is getting my hopes up that he could be joining the dreamsmp, taunting us with what we could have

i'm here on daggryet's suggestion to ask how you'd currently rank the five mcc teams? 😄

oh boy oh boy alright so i’ll do my placements and then explanation below the cut, these are just initial reactions honestly i can see any of the top three flipping around

1.) Green Guardians

2.) Orange Ocelots

3.) Lime Llamas

4.) Red Rabbits

5.) Yellow Yaks

green guardians- obviously strong, but having 2/3 of the dream team is obviously not historically enough to secure a win. however, they are a very powerful duo and teamed together, dream and george have never gotten below 4th place. 3/4 of this team has an advantage of having been training together even before teams were announced and regularly playing minecraft together. the captain and dream have been together, they work well together, i don’t imagine this team will have any issues with chemistry or communication. skillset wise, an advantage this team also has is being not super dependent on games. obviously dream is your s tier “carry” whatever you want to call him, he’s a superstar.��george is solid all around. the captain is a good player, very experienced and good at the game. and quackity while not excelling in the past has been practicing lately and honestly all he has to do is stay alive for a decent amount of time in most games and not even worry about kills/at least finish the course if it’s a movement type thing. like maybe rocket spleef or buildmart is their worst game? but like half of them are good at rocket spleef and then is anybody good at buildmart really (/hj)?

orange ocelots- okay hear me out. consistency is so important in this tournament. this is why orange and lime go above red. three experienced, consistent players plus one team leader is a better team composition in general. people are saying that quig has been doing worse ever since mcc12, but it’s not like he’s fallen off. he’s been practicing a lot and he’s still really good at the game. and he’ll have a solid, supportive team to help him out. shelby’s played in a lot of the top teams for the tournament. she can hold her own just fine and would be super good in dodgebolt for these guys. eret and kara are similarly experienced and also have been in high placing teams, they were actually in the 1st and 2nd scoring teams last mcc. i put orange above lime because i just think the players on orange score the tiniest bit higher (again everything will be dependent on the tournament itself but just looking at averages) quig- 3168, shubble- 1935, kara- 1937, eret- 1705 VS fruit- 3167 (yes one single coin less), false- 1954, cubfan- 1698, ren- 1662.

lime llamas- similar ideas to above but with hermits. these guys are solid. fruit is also one of the best mcc players. he’s been top two for the past four tournaments. false is good. ren and cubfan can definitely support the team as well. these guys also have the advantage of playing together often, notably false ren have done every single tournament together except two, but everybody on this team has done mcc together. i think only ren and cubfan haven’t done a dodgebolt together so like crazy strong stuff here with this team. they’ve had similar team makeups to this before and gotten 1st. they go third because they’re a little bit weaker than the lime liches, a little bit weaker than the mcc12 lime llamas, a little bit weaker than mcc10s orange ocelots, a little bit weaker than the similar teams they’ve had before. again though numbers aren’t everything. maybe i’m only putting them third because i really want to get the captain a win and also josh fruitberries walking off the side of the bridge in skybattle is flashing through my mind right now. but yeah third here because the other guys are the slightest bit stronger i feel. i wouldn’t be surprised to see them in dodgebolt though.

red rabbits- i adore these guys. super talented all around. but again all these teams above them have consistency over them. vikk is very good at the game, has not played mcc in particular in a hot sec. i mean i don’t suspect he’ll have too much trouble readapting, especially if he’s willing to train beforehand on the training server. niki also hasn’t played in a sec. they go third because this team has good players and while niki hasn’t excelled in the tournament, she brings great vibes and a supportive atmosphere to the team. also she’s been practicing so im ready for her to get revenge on georgenotfound. tommy is good when he’s not worrying too much about everyone else. i think this team is good for that. tubbo doesn’t need too much guidance, i think he can operate on his own and pop off. vikk might need a nudge but i don’t think he’ll need as much as a newer player. im thinking of mcc12 red rabbits right now where niki and big q would have similar roles and then vikk and wisp. i think vikk would need less help than wisp did in that tournament. they’re a well rounded team. no chemistry issues. i don’t think niki lets the game get to her head and i think that’ll be good for tommy as well. pvp games would be fantastic for them and the real make or break for how high they score.

yellow yaks- 2/4 coral carolers lets gooo. sylvee and krtzyy are very experienced. dave’s an a tier player. i believe sylvee could pull like around 20-25. dan is new but a good player, top 15 potential for sure and honestly would have made that if it wasn’t for the buildmart finale last tournament. sb i’m not as familiar with but i’m pretty sure he’s a top 15 player as well. he’s steadily improved each tournament he’s played in. they’re a good team but i don’t really see as much chemistry in their favor as these other teams and no s tier which obviously doesn’t actually mean anything, but just looking at things it helps to have someone like these other teams have dream, fruit, and quig (and vikkstar)
