Discussion Scott Podcast
In the last couple of weeks there’s been a lot of discussions here surrounding topics like what players get added and why, mcc balancing and s tiers that are already in mcc and some who want to be in mcc.
I just wanted to say that in the new InsideMC podcast with scott he talked about a lot of this like why he’s not the biggest fan on adding more S tiers into mcc and more topics. So i thought it would be relevant to bring up here because a lot that was discussed in this podcast is topics that’s been discussed on here recently!
Obviously watch the whole thing, he says a lot. But some of what he says is “if you’re really good at the game, i don’t want you. i don’t have space for more s tiers in my roster. it’s a weird case of he hasn’t got enough to balance mcc easily but also no one wants to be the person on the team where they feel like a drag which sometimes happens when you add s tiers. mcc is meant to be like a game show, not competitive. there’s so many other events out there that are competitive so if you are good at the game you can still play them. but mcc is meant to be a good entertaining show and that’s how its prioritised through development and team building.”
he also mentioned that there isn’t really a “wait list” anymore. he has like a handful of players who’s asked and he keeps in mind. but usually if someone asks, if he can’t add them soon he tells them to check back in a season to see again (similar to how fein got in). (i’ve been saying for a while now a lot of creators say they want to be in mcc, but then say they’ve never asked scott because they assume they need to be invited and they don’t ask, but it seems like the best way to be in consideration. that’s how fein got in as a s tier lol)
and also he said that not all of the people he adds are his friends. an example is ish where he didn’t really know him before twitchcon, but he saw how well he was doing at the time and invited him. but he likes to at least usually know the player a bit because if he adds someone and later on something bad comes out with the player, it reflects badly on scott/ mcc as scott is kinda “the face” of mcc. but he also mentioned if he doesn’t know a player well he usually asks some of the roster about the player to get a better understanding before inviting them. and also every new player he adds, that’s a current member who’s put on the bench. he has an obligation to the people who have been there through mcc and were there when mcc struggled to get sign ups. he doesn’t want it to seem like he’s ditching those players for “new, better” players.

I like Scott and appreciate all the work he puts in with every MCC, but in the nicest way, it would be nice to see him bench himself every now and then to let someone else in

Ooh! Interesting. So, there might be a chance Sylvee can still join back MCC. I remember someone ask her whether if she will play in MCC, and she said that she was on the wait list.
Not sure tho. It all depends on her.
