I finally got a chance to sit and watch this (Phil's POV too) and it was so much fun! I loved how genuinely delighted Phil was just the whole time also his shirt almost made me cry and they came so close to dodgebolt! I feel like they very likely would have made it if Joel's internet had kept up, because he did real well in the rounds where he didn't glitch out.
Aimsey and Shubble were consistently toward the bottom of the bucket in MCC S1 but I feel like in what I've seen them in more recently they've both really dramatically improved in things like parkour, and they were both always really good at the teamwork aspects (unlike a lot of the S-Class player tbh.) And Firebreathman is one of the s-class ones who is actually really good at leading a team! So I'm not at all surprised they did better than predicted.
I was hoping they would used Scuffed as an opportunity to let people play with unbalanced teams - let the Hermits have a couple all-Hermits teams like they've been wanting even if none of them are top-rank on anything but building and redstone, give Ranboo the easy win he deserves, let some of the S-class players who never get to play together have one - but it looks like they still mostly tried for balance. There is an all-Empires team though which will probably be super fun!
