## Trivia

### Participation/Team related

* This was the final Block Wars event prior to *The Split,* which separated the player roster into two groups.
* This event took place shortly after TwitchCon 2022, and multiple players subbed out of this season due to associated illness.
* This event introduced four new players: Nebular, xShatter, jojosolos and Fulham.
* This was the first Series 2 event where Ameston, blueskiesclub, EpicFH, gummywroms and Jackelton were not present.
* This event welcomed back OwengeJuiceTV, who hadn't played since Season 11.

### Statistics

* Team Treat was the first Block Wars team to win the event without placing first in any game.
* This was mirrored in MCC 26 shortly after, where that event's Purple team also placed first without winning any games.
* It was also the first Purple team to win since  Team King in Origins Season 8.
* SMK64 gained only 596 points in the first half of the event, but gained a whopping 1,547 points in the second half, placing first overall in the second half of the games.
* xShatter placed 13th individual, the current highest placement for a newcomer's first event.
* DONG\_FORTNITE had an exceptional Move performance this event, placing almost 100 points above 2nd place in the game.
* Despite finishing in 2nd overall,  Team Witch's extremely fast build times in Construction netted them first overall in the game.
