The season
Season 5 ran on Minecraft 1.8, hosted by GopherCraft and run by Scoti Garbidis. Eighteen players formed six teams of three and fought in UHC mode, with no health regeneration, inside a shrinking world border. The map was an urban one, a city provided by VAAST. The last team alive wins.
Basket's team was Rooftop Raiders. Eight episodes went up between November 9 and November 23, 2014, plus an Episode 0 posted the same day as Episode 1.
Players
The description lists the eighteen players in six groups of three, without team names:
- Steel_Douglas, Virii333, SodaShaman
- xzosimusx, Pikerize, BasketMC
- Scoti_Garbidis, FriarNurgle, Lostinthefort
- Sayulily, TopStiGearGaming, Technascribe
- GopherBoy, th3pooka, MoonWillow92
- PsychoSFK, rePeteD, MomofMiners
How it ended
Basket was the last player alive, so Rooftop Raiders won. In Episode 8 the other teams fell one by one, many of them to zombies and falls. Scoti Garbidis shot xzosimusx, and then the chat read "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by BasketMC." No win message appears on screen.

In a great hall on the city map, the rules are explained: buildings hold loot chests and mob spawners, there are fewer ores underground, the border starts 2,000 blocks across, there is no grace period, and the starting building is off limits. The wool draw goes wrong once and is done again, and then the teams are teleported into the city while the chat reads "Strategy Time Starts Now."
