For the last two weeks, the sub has been flooded with repetitive posts about the EDCR controversy.
If you have something to say about the situation, say it here. No need to make a 100th post about the situation.
Any new posts about the EDCR controversy will be deleted, unless something new actually happens.

Hi y'all !
Here's some news about what happened the last few months.
-RedLime did an AMA, if you missed it you can find it here : https://www.reddit.com/r/MCSRRanked/comments/1s556w5/hello_ranked_subreddit_ama_suggestions
-Ludwig left a comment : https://www.reddit.com/r/MCSRRanked/comments/1tiymcs/comment/omy5ugc
-The sub has a new "most popular" post : https://www.reddit.com/r/MCSRRanked/comments/1ti6wdo/a_truly_historic_playoffs
-We reached 2k members.
Now, on a more serious note, here are some changes that will take place in the next few days :
-Since we've had our first "drama/controversy" content due to the horrendous "Speedrun World" map, we will be adding rules on this type of content. The rules are the following : when a drama/controversy happens, only 3 posts will be allowed on it, and one of the three will be added as a megathread for the duration of the situation. This is to prevent flooding of the sub with repetitive content. Thankfully, it didn't happen this time, but it is a nice security for the future.
-People started posting about Draftout in this sub. Since Draftout is very adjacent to MCSR Ranked and has pretty much the same player base, these posts will be accepted. However, it is recommended that you instead post in r/Draftout . If, in the future, Draftout posts start taking too much space in this sub, the rules will be hardened.
Finally, I'd like to thank all of you again for being so chill. The sub is becoming pretty big, but it hasn't been a hassle to moderate because (almost) everyone is being very respectful and considerate, both in posts and comments.
#1 Bedrock Ranked Speedrunner Rants about Speedrun World
The map is so bad that the video is actually pretty entertaining
I’m mainly a bedrock runner, and I believe that the recently announced “Bedrock Speedrun World” is an absolute disgrace.
For context, this https://youtu.be/QQuUk-gE3Cc?si=bYDmtQYBHGxJvn2q is the trailer, and it was talked about during midoffs earlier today.
The reason this is terrible is NOT because it is bedrock, but because it has a complete and utter disregard for the already existing bedrock strats created by the bedrock community (some examples of this being the bedrock-specific onecycles, warped strats, bastion routing, and especially stronghold first)
You can’t apply java‘s speedrunning meta to bedrock because it’s completely different. This move by the minecraft team completely undermines everything that the bedrock community has been working towards and the months of work it took to put together mcbe ranked.
EDIT
I didnt expect so many people to see this and i kind of rushed to get this posted, so i’m gonna make a follow up:
One of the greatest things about the bedrock speedrunning community is that, much like minecraft bedrock is meant to be, it’s a lot more open to beginners. The culture in Java is a lot less oriented around helping people, but in bedrock, new people are welcomed into the community, and as long as you keep running, you can become a top level player. One of my favorite examples of this is level7cr7, who, 10 months ago, got his first sub-30 (about equivalent to sub 15/20 on java 1.16) in console 1.18+ RSG, and now holds the console RSG world record for 1.18+ and is the first runner to achieve 100 sub-30s. The bedrock community creates this culture, and what the ignorance of community input and feedback demonstrates is that the MCSR Ranked team wants to disconnect their version of MCBE speedrunning from the great community behind it.
Additionally, the perception of bedrock, especially from the point of view of many java runners, has been terrible for a long, long time, and this does nothing but worsen it. If the perception of MCBESR from the outside is of this monstrosity that doesn’t even standardize perches or get rid of dragon’s breath in the end practice, completely ignores warped, and other things like that, then the opinions of people who think poorly of bedrock speedrunning will be completely justified.
I am not in any way against a partnership between Java and Bedrock Ranked, but it should be a collaboration with the bedrock community, not the Minecraft Marketplace team. Bringing MCBE Ranked to the marketplace would streamline the process so much for runners on console, but this is not the way. Allow people like Ma-ehy to collaborate with the minds behind MCSR Ranked, and please, please keep it free.
Please do not buy, support, or promote this map in any way, and if you can, try to let our opinions be heard by the team behind this change.
—————
UPDATE: The speedrun world map is also absolutely terrible. Ma-ehy (creator of bedrock ranked) made a video. You can also get a more behind-the-scenes look at what happened internally with the bedrock community from the other recent video on the channel.
