Minecraft Championship 31's current teams and additional information

As with previous Minecraft Championships, 10 teams comprised of four content creators will accrue coins in minigames to determine the final rankings.

Though the minigames haven't been confirmed by Noxcrew yet, the two highest-ranking teams will likely battle it out in a game of Dodgebolt in the final minigame to determine the crowned champion. Given the currently-disclosed list of competitors, MCC 31 should be one to remember.

Here are all the participating members of the first five Minecraft Championship 31 teams:

• Red Rabbits - jojosolos, Shadoune666, CrisGreen, Conterstine
• Orange Ocelots - MythicalSausage, FireBreathMan, Kara Corvus, Seapeekay
• Yellow Yaks - CaptainSparklez, fruitberries, GoodTimesWithScar, Smajor1995
• Lime Llamas - Hannahxxrose, Sapnap, JackManifoldTV, Michaelmcchill
• Green Geckos - Purpled, Snifferish, VelvetIsCake, Wallibear

Longtime fans of the Minecraft Championships will notice plenty of familiar faces on the current team lineup. However, there were some notable omissions due to conflicts for certain content creators. Specifically, Shubble, TheOrionSound, and Ranboo will not be participating in this tournament.

Shubble will be in Japan during the event. TheOrionSound confirmed that they would not be participating in response to Shubble on Twitter. Meanwhile, Ranboo stated that he would be missing the competition due to "crunch time."

Ranboo has confirmed they will not be in MCC31 by u/SpadeReal in MinecraftChampionship

Whatever the case may be, fans worldwide are likely very excited to hear about the final five teams being announced.

Fortunately, Noxcrew will be unveiling the full slate of participants in MCC 31 in very short order, so players can begin watching their favorite content creators practice until the May 20 event date rolls around.

The 30th canon event in the long-running championship series should be full of intense moments, clutch plays, and plenty of hype throughout. Time will tell which team reigns supreme for the latest championship entry, and plenty of fans are already throwing in their support.
