One thing with BW you didn’t mention is it’s game roster. In Series 3 there’s only been 9 games in Block Wars, meaning every time you see an event there’s at minimum 7/8ths of it that are the same (obviously games have different maps and can get updates but even then they’re nearly always very similar overall). At the other end of the spectrum you have MCC’s 15 games, where each event this year has had only 2-4 games in common with the last event. Expanding the game roster is something that I’ve been rooting for BW to do since early series 2, but so far it’s stuck at 9 games for the past 2 years. Hopefully this is something that series 3 will finally improve, and at least in my opinion will greatly increase the difference between events, and help answer the question “what is different about this BW”.
34:29 good thing events are on weekends because most events happen while everyone is asleep in East Asia also some countries in the Middle East, I either set an alarm for 1 to 3am or stay up and potentially pull an all-nighter ,which I do the latter very often since I miss the alarms
It's honestly great to see a variety of events that's allows different groups of player to participate in their own levels of competitive (PB), broadly causal(MCC party), and a mix (BW). It's more balanced this way to accommodate for separate creators and their audiences. Also since BW is a bit of crossover with both the players and game types they have more wiggle room to change, but that doesn't mean the event should over-saturate skill based games for the S-tier players when they only represent 10-20%. It would alienate a vast majority of current and potential players.
eh i feel that BW is a lot more low comp at MCC, smone made an event spreadsheet and consistently BWCC is lower comp than MCC tho if u include BWO then yeah its a mix
Okay so hear me out… next block wars rookies, a team consisting of Feinberg with all four of the Underdogs gaming youtube channel members would be a great idea (Little Z, poppt1, HopCat & Director Cogger)
i love mcc trying new things and special events. i think at least one or two more regular events would majorly benefit, some fans would be more happy, more of the normal roster can get in, less work on noxcrew to focus on updates etc, and normal events are usually more competitive which it feels like mcc has lost a bit. 100% if creators don't want that its fine, but if they are up for it I do think it would actually change a lot
OMG YAY hivemind is in Wolfeei Mail Mogul!!!!!! ALSOOO to answer ur question on what betrayers is, its this like.. "session based long-term reality tv show mafia among us" type event i host which was the inspiration behind a quote rt i had made of the "we listen and we dont judge" tweet that said "not all events need to be 8-10 teams play 6-8 games and the top 2 teams with the most coins do a duel, and that more variety in events is nice" which sadly you didnt get to see, but i would like to see a mogul mail video on events that dont follow that formula, like hunt & run, squidcraft, and one shot royale!
This year’s TREU felt more like a Rising event than actual Rising 3 imo, in terms of the pre event activity on like the practice server and cross-team collaboration etc
My hot take is that vod reviewing is the most try hard, sweaty thing you can do in the event scene (the only exception is if you haven't seen the event or a new map/game)
What I love about the first BW reddit post is that it is kind and respectful and clearly comes from a place of love for the event. This is how you formulate your hot takes, people!
i dont really have any personal 'hot takes' i dont think, because im the kind of person where if i dont like something, i wont watch it!! if you get what i mean? i feel like theres tons of events out there and the individual ccs themselves make their own content as well. so if i dont like the event, ill just switch over to something else!! i just dont get why theres so much discussion to be said about things with simple solutions 😓
I agree with the Feinberg teams one like for example Fein and Mei are two of my main POVs for events but I just didn't watch lime in the most recent PB it just didn't feel great like I love Mei and Fein and wanna see them teamed together but looking at the team when announced and then after the event were two completely different feelings
im the one that tweeted betrayers lol the tweet was a joke cause that isnt really a hot take but betrayers is pretty sick its a session based social deduction event thingy season 4 is about to end, some ppl are planning on making a video on it so you should for sure check it out
11:14 Stu being S tier might be the craziest take in this video 😭
anyone who averages top 10 in BW is considered S tier
@@apparycja thats just not true
@@apparycjaI’ve never considered that to be the deciding factor of who is an S tier
anyone with an average between 1st and 10th is S tier in my books for BW
@wolfeeii Honestly It kinda just depends on what you consider to be the definition of an S tier
my minecraft event hot take is that events need more cats. meow
MEOW

more games are something we'd like to focus on as well, but we wanted to priority making the existing games better, which we've mostly done now
the "MCC formula is getting overdone" take is getting pretty cold at this point lol

i love having a good amount of block wars i get excited to see the vods
