Pre-MCC Offline Chat

The Pre-Minecraft Championship Offline Chat (also shortened as the Pre-MCC Offline chat) is a recurring state of offline chat that always occurs before a scheduled round of the aforementioned Minecraft Championships.

It was popularised in the first season of the tournament, running from MCC1 to MCC13. The phase typically begins hours before the event is slated to begin, at 20:00 GMT. With the current wait for season two, it is not known when the next Pre-MCC Offline Chat phase will begin.

Nature
Alongside a Hosted Ph1LzA Stream, the Pre-MCC Offline Chat phase is a guaranteed period of activity for the offline chat. Much like The Pre-Ghost Hunting Stream Chat, the activity will steadily rise in energy until it reaches its peak in the minutes remaining to the event. Due to the hype around the Championships, members in the offline chat will be more chatty than usual, and The Regulars enjoy talking to newer offliners.

In order to support Wilbur Soot, as most offliners in this Offline Chat phase intend to watch his point of view during the tournament proper, members typically agree to change their Twitch username colours to match his team colour. For example, in MCC12, the offline chatters agreed to become green in order to support his team, the Green Guardians. Though this is lost in the transition to Online Chat, it is a fun activity for the offliners.

Trivia

 * Before MCC12, Wilbur appeared in chat, expressing a desire to do well. The present offliners gave him their energy. He would go on to win that tournament alongside his team.
