History WebVideo / Dream

** In the "4 Hunters Finale Rematch" video, [[spoiler:Dream and Sapnap both get horses and get into a jousting match. While badass on paper, the Minecraft gameplay engine is not very well-suited to mounted combat, leading both of them to dismount, kill each others' horses (to negate the travel speed advantage), and resort to on-foot PvP.]]

* SupportPartyMember: While it was unclear exactly what Antfrost's role in the squad of hunters would be on his first forays, he quickly cemented himself as much less PvP-oriented than the other hunters. Instead, he tended to fill out a support role, sacrificing himself and [[SuicideAttack setting off the desert temple's explosives]] in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrtuA5HWFoU 4 hunters rematch,]] exploding a bed in close quarters to open up Dream's nether maze in the same video, and in the following video ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDkuUZ3F1GU the 4 Hunters Finale,]]) provided his fellow hunters with food and spent a great deal of time searching for diamonds for them. That's dedication!

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Between Dream and Technoblade, where Dream is the performer and Techno was the technician. Dream's iconic Minecraft Manhunt series has both the hunter and the hunted showcasing creative traps and methods of outmaneuvering and killing the opposition in randomly generated worlds. Dream himself is known for his quick thinking and creativity, coupled with incredible luck that all make his videos possible. Technoblade was much more methodical, known for structured PvP matches. He has also performed complex calculations to determine the best method of victory in tournament challenges, including his Excel spreadsheet for tracking potatoes during his potato war and his startling come-from-behind victory in Build Mart, also using a spreadsheet.

* HoldTheLine[=/=]TimedMission: In the "VS Hitmen" video, the map is small so Dream cannot beat the game normally, but there is a one hour timer. If it runs out, Dream wins, so the hunters must kill him before, causing this trope respectively for Dream and the hunters.

* TheTeam: The hunters usually form a team, mainly once they're over three in number.
%%For any editors of this trope, only fill out their current role on the hunter team just to keep things neat and tidy.
** Bad is TheLeader of the group, usually being the one to rally the hunters together and being the mastermind behind many of their attempts on Dream's life.
** Sapnap is TheLancer, being one of the core leaders of the group (but not quite on Bad's level) as well as being a direct contrast to Bad in tactics (Sapnap will rush Dream without a second thought while Bad will usually stay back and come up with a plan first). He's also TheBigGuy, being the group's muscle and the largest threat to Dream in direct combat.
** George is TheHeart of the group. Although he's the most overshadowed and overlooked in terms of skills, having no major niche to fill on the team (compared to Bad, Ant and Sam's cunning and Sapnap's brute force) and [[ButtMonkey being the most prone to falling for Dream's traps]], he still plays the much-needed assist and support role for the team--whether that be keeping Dream out of range of killing the other hunters or assisting Sapnap in rushing Dream while the rest of his teammates gather resources--and there would be a noticeable void in his absence.
** Ant is TheSneakyGuy, typically avoiding direct combat and help the team inform the danger up ahead. He also proves himself willing to play the long game, splitting off from the hunters for twenty minutes of the "4 Hunters Finale" video in order to [[spoiler: provide the hunters diamond armor and an enchanting table, sacrificing the ability to kill Dream early for providing a much tougher fight later on]]. This is further cemented in the 4 Hunters Finale Rematch where, at the end, [[spoiler:Ant is the only one to avoid the [[PitTrap Pitfall Trap]], and actually manages to kill Dream [[MagicKnight using splash potions.]]]]
** Sam is TheSmartGuy of the group, being the most knowledgeable about Minecraft mechanics and glitches and [[GadgeteerGenius utilizes redstone to trap]] Dream.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/DreamTraps Dream]] (real name: Clayton "Clay" Huff) is a [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] and streamer primarily known for:

He had a few viral hits in late 2019 but wouldn't truly strike it big until December of that year, when he released a video called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GnC-N7L0Ew "Beating Minecraft, But My Friend Tries To Stop Me..."]], a video he also dubbed "Minecraft Manhunt", wherein Dream tries to speedrun ''Minecraft'' all the way up to killing the Ender Dragon before the designated hunter, his friend LetsPlay/GeorgeNotFound, kills him once. The video was followed by a rematch between the two. Although Dream didn't plan on making more beyond the pair, they quickly became [[SleeperHit massive hits]], eclipsing his prior hits in a fraction of the time, and setting him on a path to a meteoric rise in popularity.

** "Minecraft Death Swap" (Dream VS George)[[note]]The gimmick of this video is that players swap positions every five minutes and must devise traps to kill the other when they swap[[/note]]--Winner: [[spoiler: Dream won by turning George's Nether trap around on him with nothing but an enchanted golden apple.]]

** "Minecraft Death Swap 2" (Dream VS George)[[note]]Repeat of "Minecraft Death Swap"[[/note]]--Winner: [[spoiler: Dream won again, this time using gravel to suffocate George.]]

** "Minecraft Block Shuffle" (Dream VS George)[[note]]The gimmick of this video is that players are assigned a random block every five minutes and must stand on that block before the next block is assigned, or else they lose[[/note]]--Winner: [[spoiler: Dream won after George failed to craft and stand on a jukebox.]]

** "Minecraft Ultimate Tag..." (Dream VS George)[[note]]The gimmick of this video is that the players are set in a bordered area. One player (who has a compass that tells the Y coordinate) must tag the other by hitting them within 2 minutes. If they succeed, they get a point. If not, the other player gets the point. This alternates every round. [[/note]] --Winner: [[spoiler: George won the most rounds in this video, ending when George tags Dream for the last time.]]

** "Minecraft Death Shuffle..." (Dream VS George)[[note]]The gimmick of this video is that players have five minutes to die in the manner specified by chat. If both players fulfill their death tasks in time, the timer resets and new death tasks are given. This repeats until one of them fails their death task.[[/note]] --Winner: [[spoiler:Dream won after George is required to die to a Pillager's crossbow, which the latter failed because he couldn't find a Pillager outpost in time.]]

Friendly reminder to editors that all of these videos are on Dream's channel only. Any Manhunts or competitions hosted on George's channel (as he also posts Manhunts and competition videos) should go on [[LetsPlay/GeorgeNotFound his TV Tropes page]].

** {{Justified}} in the "3 Hunters" video, where Bad repeatedly refers to Sapnap as "Pandas"[[labelnote:*]]This is because he was originally "[=PandasCanPVP=]", which ended up being taken for a Minecraft username along with "Pandas", so he started using "Sapnap" which is "Pandas" spelled backwards with a "P" instead of a "D"[[/labelnote]].
