The growth of his online audience seemed to explode when he declared to his stream chat on November 27th, 2020, that he would run for president of L’Manberg (which is a nation on Dream’s survival-multiplayer server). At the time that he made this statement, Ranboo wasn’t a member of the survival-multiplayer.
Later, during this same stream, he was raided by Floris “Fundy” Damen, and Phil “Ph1LzA” Watson, two popular streamers on Dream’s survival-multiplayer. It was here that Dream invited him to join the server, and Ranboo accepted.
Outside of his contributions to Dream’s survival-multiplayer, there have been rumors surfacing about Ranboo being banned from the Minecraft Championships. Reddit threads regarding the issue say that he was banned for allegedly sending a joke to the MCC team that was taken badly.
However, despite the heavy talk about it, these rumors are not true. Ranboo being banned from the Minecraft Championships is just a running joke between him and the MCC team. For anyone confused, here’s what happened from the beginning.
Why was Ranboo “banned” from the Minecraft Championships?
Ranboo isn’t actually banned from the Minecraft Championships. But he was jokingly “banned” after Smajor, the organizer of the championships, said this in Tubbo’s stream chat:
Even though it was said completely as a joke, Ranboo responded, equally joking. He took to Twitter to say that he would email the Minecraft Championship team saying:
Later, the Minecraft Championship team responded to his tweet, saying:
Ranboo then tweeted back:
Although misleading, in some ways, with the wording of everything, this was all in good fun.
According to Redditor Ginhavesouls, Ranboo’s letter to the Minecraft Championship Team was actually, “the nicest letter they’ve received so far.” He summarized what happened:
Another Redditor, Osakosdemonhunter, confirmed that this Twitter exchange was made in good fun, saying:
When looking on Twitter, it seems like a lot of others have fallen into the misconception that Ranboo was banned from the Minecraft Championships. There are fans trying to clear up the fact from fiction through spreading the knowledge that the Minecraft star’s “banning” was a joke.
So Ranboo fans need not worry. He hasn’t been banned from the Minecraft Championships. Although there’s room to speculate that because of this exchange, there will be some participation from Ranboo in this year’s championship.
