Minecraft Championship (MCC) 18: Date, time, confirmed teams, and more

The Minecraft Championship 18 has had fans eagerly anticipating the event over the weeks after it was announced, and the championship will kick off in a just a few days, on Saturday, 23 October 2021 at 8:00 pm BST.

The Minecraft Championships ("MCC") are a series of tournaments that revolve around different minigames that test various areas of expertise in Minecraft. The championship features ten teams of four players that compete in eight different minigames chosen randomly throughout each round of the event.

The event is coordinated by one of regular competitors in the championships, Scott "Smajor" Major. He works on this event alongside the members of the Noxcrew.

October's event is themed around the spooky fall season of Halloween. All of the teams have had their signature mascots removed and replaced with different cryptids and creatures of the night. These mascots aren't permanent, but will only be used for Minecraft Championship 18.

That said, this hasn't been the first time the cryptid mascots have been used. They were debuted during the first fall themed event, Minecraft Championship 11.

There will also be a general admin stream for viewers who want to watch the event as if it's a real sports event and not from any one content creator's perspective. The link to the stream will be tweeted out right before the event begins, so fans will need to get details through the official Minecraft Championship Twitter.
