Minecraft Championship (MCC) 17: First half of the competing teams announced

Minecraft Championship 17 will kick off in just over a week and a half on September 18, 2021 at 8:00 PM BST. The first half of the teams set to compete in this month's tournament have finally been revealed.

Team Pink Parrots (consisting of: Dream, BadBoyHalo, Seapeekay, and F1NN5TER) achieved an astounding victory during the previous month's tournament, Minecraft Championship 16.

Minecraft Championship 17 has been highly anticipated and Noxcrew has boasted a few minor changes to the upcoming tournament, including the retirement of the llama and creeper mascots.

The only reveal more anticipated than the announcement of the new mascots is the reveal of all ten competing teams. Luckily, the first half of the teams have been announced to quell viewer's anticipation.

Tomorrow will also mark the reveal of the brand new mascot for Team Cyan Creepers. The Cyan and Green mascots retirement is likely, so there can be official merchandise for the Minecraft Championships.

Merchandise can't be made of the original mascots as they're both copyrighted and owned by Mojang. It's disheartening to see both the Creeper and Guardian mascots retire, but they'll live on as irreplaceable history within the Minecraft Championships.

Minecraft Championship 17 will be streamed live on September 18, 2021. The tournament will start at 8:00 PM BST. For other time zones, this would be: 3:00 PM EST, 2:00 PM CST, and 12:00 PM PST.
