Can't believe jojo's battlebox ace is only an honorable mention in the top 10 plays video

Okay sorry, it's me again but I just noticed you reblogged clip of Punz talking about being teamed with George and his MCC team and it's such a sweet clip, I can't wait to see pnf especially after seeing more of their dynamic from battle box training, them playing fortnite and Punz at some point saying 'you said George is going to be here' and 'I got mesmerized by George' in last MCC lmao and I laughed a little at the tiny shade towards dreamnap in that clip too cause obviously they are friends so there is no way Punz didn't say that before to their faces but also there is some truth in it cause dreamnap are tryhards and they care a lot about winning and placements. Sapnap especially I feel as a lot of people noticed him getting better and he wants to keep up his tier climb so to speak, he didn't want to be a sand boy and such as example. I recommend watching Hbomb stream when you have time where he was reviewing George's sot and battle box pov, it has pretty privileged resorting to violence, Antfrost and Scott in the chat adding their own tidbits on battle box and Hbomb commenting in his own amused way and lightheartedly making fun of their teamwork and dreamnap's behaviour. They are the allstars ones the 2 hours one and around 40 minutes one. I ended up rambling again and I realised that this might not come across as good-natured amusement as I hoped for so don't feel obligated to post this ask if you feel it might stir up discourse!

Anon same as I'm looking forward to it. Seeing Punz be so reassuring and aware of what environment would help out George makes me feel so confident for this MCC tbh. Not confidence in the "omg they're winning 100%" but confidence in the fact it'll be an easy and enjoyable team dynamic to watch. Honestly Pnf have been friends for years (which I think was showcased well in his understanding of George in that clip) and lately as you referenced we've had a few Fortnite Fridays from them alongside just a bunch more interactions than usual (thinking about George screen sharing his fyp to punz and quackity for an hour). Definitely a good time for their pairing.

Without doubt anything Punz says on stream he's definitely brought up in private to their faces considering how close of friends they seem. I don't think he's wrong either honestly, the dream team as a whole do care about the outcome of MCC but I think Dreamnap are much more outwardly expressive of that during the competition in comparison with George. Dreamnap are definitely living and breathing the competition and I'd watch their POV if I was purely in it for the competitiveness of it all (they have a lot of eyes on them in terms of performance so this isn't surprising, as you mentioned Sapnap is getting more recognized and Dream of course is going to have the attention of an S-tier player). Yet, George as much as he too tries his best, his commentary isn't solely surrounding MCC or the serious aspects of it. It's a more lighthearted approach despite him still caring for his results which I appreciate as a viewer who watches MCC purely for the fun of the event.

Pairing these two different playstyles together and the fact the means of communication is more often than not through insults, makes a team that doesn't mesh as well as you'd want (at least as of right now), which Punz directly addressed. George instead worked very well in the Yellow Yaks team of HBomb, Ponk, and Captain Sparklez which I think comes down to the more supportive atmosphere. Be it because Ponk was a new player joining or Hbomb's very team orientated strategy style (build battle springs to mind) which catered to everyone. Punz definitely seems intent on creating a team dynamic as encouraging tonight, so I think we're in for a good MCC.

Anon I adore Hbombs reviews of Gnf in MCC I'm so glad you watch them too. It was actually healing after watching Red Rabbits to see someone call out, albeit jokingly, how off the walls the battle box was. Ngl Scott shading dream and Sapnap with his comments but tagging on "Lol!" at the end to lessen the blow was so funny to me. Obviously there's nothing wrong with being competitive but I think the way it's shown is sometimes a bit too intensely(?) considering it doesn't always encourage the team depending on its expression.
