Ok but Cleo not realizing how great she did her first MCC. I literally just loved watching her figure out the games. She might not have ranked in the top 10, but a game I actually LOVED watching her do was Ace Race strictly because you could actually physically see the improvement each lap. Her first lap is a bit rough, but like the thing about Cleo is that they are a really fast learner. By lap 2 she’d worked out the trident, by lap 3 shes timed the jump pads perfectly and is taking note of other shortcuts, by lap 4 she’s only made a couple small mistakes. By the last round of Meltdown she’s actually pretty solid - she’s worked out the heaters and she actually manages to freeze someone on the opposing side. Sands of Time? She is the best sand daddy. She communicates extremely well and was very good at giving call outs, honesty I think that was the perfect role for her. Battle Box? She was the wool rusher. Once they’d worked out their strat, she was often the first one in the middle plugging in wool.
Her thinking she came dead last and Grian literally JUST explaining to her that he’d told Scar he was going to come dead last his first MCC too because you don’t really know the games yet. Cleo getting 30th, not realizing there are 40 people, and so she thinks she’s come dead last. The deafening shout from her teammates when she tells them she got 30th. Gem screamed so loudly that it literally shakes Cleo’s screen. Grian mishears the first time she says it, thinking she said 39th, which he was already celebrating - he literally peaks the mic from shouting so loudly when he thinks she’s placed 39th, but when he realizes it was 30th?! Man loses his mind. His voice literally rises like 3 octaves going “you got 30th?! That’s nowhere near last!” Even Pete in the background, muffled somewhere under Gem literally shrieking with excitement is just like “That’s HUGE. What a rank! Nice job!” Grian literally was giving her a pep talk about 40th and then she rolls up with 30th? Cleo did freaking fantastic for a first MCC.
The entire point of the tournament is taking the good games and making them almost unplayable.
Buildmart : it is twice as long but it’s the og map (shopping cart place?) and you have to walk everywhere.
Meltdown : the map immediately starts melting down as soon as the round starts. The only warning the players get is they get told “run”
Survival games : it plays as normal but only after it ends do they find out it’s golf rules (so last place wins) oh and the ground is made of soul sand
Battle box : no weapons only fists and pots
Parkour tag : the entire map looks the same but the ground has random patches of soul sand and ice.
dodge bolt : same but the arena is underwater. Plus everyone has depth strider boots.
Ace race : new map but the arrows actively lie to you. Also philzas face is absolutely everywhere
Please feel free to add I’m having the most fun with this
Love how Grian is always SO particular about people swearing on his streams, I’ve watched him reprimand SEVERAL people for doing so, and yet Cleo calls Gem a badass and he says NOTHING.
I just find it infinitely funnier to consider that he just lets it go this ONE time because like, she’s not wrong, so…
