It’s 7 in the morning and I am screaming into a shirt because a yellow glass ball went down a track too quickly. Yes, this is exactly what I want to do with my life.
This is by far the most intense event of the Marblympics. What an exciting match but surely an exhausting one for the competitors. The training for this event alone must be quite a challenge. I could never last 2 funnels and yet they make 5 look like a walk in the park. Incredible Athleticism showcased today by these Marbles.
Let’s just take a moment to thank Jelle’s marble runs for all this work. Even with all the resets I now realize how much work it takes to make a video. Thank you.
Finally a medal for the Raspberry Racers! Rezzy really showed us a fantastic endurance run and good job on getting the best time of the event, finally showing we are #RaspberryRobust
@@lindsaykat3675 Honestly, I can appreciate that kind of hustle. Pushing opponents and aggressive plays are also a part of this discipline - Rezzy definitely used this strategy quite a few times between both rounds. Also no offence to our marbles but even with first there was no threat with how the competition has been going, seems to me less like a concerted effort and more desperate clawing to stay in the funnel, the speed really rarely allows targeted attacks.
@@Pebble_Collector I think Rezzy just got to be too big of a target, the other competitors were really trying go get Rezzy to fall down in those funnels. I'm glad the racers did as well as they did with all that hostility
This is the best sporting event in the world, I tell ya. Great events and commentary, great production, no politics, pure fun. Amazing channel I just discovered.
Kinnowin is a solid multi- disciplinary athlete who leads by example. If a decathlon style event was held for individual marbletes to compete in, he would have to be a favourite for a podium finish
Nice to see a fellow Swarmhead! My spontaneous analysis is that it is often not best to go last into a funnel, as you risk giving others extra speed. Something Sterling seemed to be aware of :)
It's nice to find other Swarm fans. Since their victory in the fidget spinners in 2017, I've liked them, especially when they were enjoying themselves on the fidget spinners after their victories in the quarter and semi-finals.
There’s always a part of me that’s rooting for the teams who are often at the bottom of the leaderboard and don’t get as much attention. Kobalts, Rojo Rollers, Chocolatiers, and so on. I’m always keeping an eye on who’s provisionally in 15th and 16th place so I can cheer them on a bit alongside my favorite teams.
Loving the slowly building, slight obsession that Greg Woods is developing towards the majestic stadium duck. 😂😂 The parity of this competition is extraordinary. No one is more than 7 points clear of the adjacent rankings, and only the bottom three haven’t medaled yet. Loving it! #Gooooorangers
They had it in 'em for gold but either way they definitely put on the best showing. In 2019 (I think) as well they had some amazing blocks and shoves when not doing so well so as to cement themself back in the lead and despite only coming 3rd, that tactic played dividends after it looked like they were falling to 6-8 territory.
Yeah, he really showed us that he is rookie lol Spending all his stamina when it didn't matter. Well, you don't get experiences in supermarket and now he has some.
This event is always intense, but the second heat was EXHILARATING! As a Raspberries and Mint fan, I'm so proud of the new drive the team have found and I hope they keep the Momentum.
I can't believe how consistent Mallard is! Absolute legend of this team! #QuackAttack Our 2 good results both came from Mallard's effort. I think we need to reevaluate the composition of the team #DucksareBack
I agree, Mallard has to go. Consistency is totally out of keeping with the #quackattack spirit-they’re supposed to make a great showing in the first heat and then break our hearts in the second 😅
We aren't worthy of Mallard's leadership. He is the epitome of a "lead by example" personality. I am thankful for his efforts and hoping the rest of this squad can pick up the slack so his efforts don't get wasted. #QuackAttack
#ReachForTheStars !!!! . . . . . Not our best showing but it was good enough to get back into Top 3. I knew Raspberry would rock this, they always do. And to see Pinkies on top for so long is incredible. My 2 year old started yelling at the screen -- he takes after his dad -- and I've never been prouder. It seems like he's a Mellow Yellow and Chocolatiers fan.
It makes my heart so happy to see them both finally succeeding after spending so many years being overlooked. The Pinkies in particular have been the butt of jokes for so long for their poor performance, and now they’re proving everybody wrong ❤
It’s been years since I’ve been this proud of my Shining Swarm. Pulling off Gold after being in dead last, is not only a literal victory, but a mental victory for the team and the fans. I’ll wear my jersey with pride today
That was intense! You can really see the battle tactics that each player employs in the game. Noticed at some points that some of the players will swarm around a target in order to make them lose momentum and make them fall first, and hey, it's not nice, but it's part of the game. I wanted my O'Rangers to get some hardware, but 4th is still a good haul. The next event is gonna be nice!
This is gonna be awesome! Thanks to all who made this happen! Roll for a win today Green Ducks! EDIT: Wow. Okay, A silver is great! But did anyone notice how VIOLENT this event was? So much bumping, it really benefited some teams but crushed others. Congrats to all the medalists!
I was re-watching Last Week Tonight and it lead me back here. After a brief "This might be fun for a few minutes" I've now watched over three hours and am chanting for the *O'rangers* 🧡 Such a cool event! You are doing a fantastic job. It's so entertaining. I've subscribed so I will be back for new races! 🎉
Okay this was my Favourite rendition of the Funnels Ever splitting it by Green then orange funnels was PERFECT and created some fantastic moments Jelle PLEASE don’t change the funnels again This is how the funnels should permanently be
I have to agree (though my team didn't do well). I liked this version better than others. I felt that having the small funnels in series all before the others made them kind of a non-factor. Here, they became a bigger factor in positioning. That's a good thing, I think.
* Nice to see the Green Ducks holding on once more, Endurance always seems to be quite a strong event for them! * They have a great technique, making as much contact upon funnel entry as possible to not only decrease the other marbles' leads but force the Ducks into a wider wake. Even right at the exit to funnels, they used it a few times to just give them some edge.
Its getting harder to see a path for the Midnight Wisps to get back near the top. Hopefully later events will prove better. So far its just been falling and stumbling down in the standings. Let's turn it around for rafting Wisps!
Just want to say (again) how fun these are and how much I appreciate the time and enthusiasm put into the production. And the play-by-plays are so perfect!
Absolutely loved the tweak to the funnel arrangement by alternating the express orange funnels with the larger ones. Really builds the tension as a front runner can easily shoot through at any time to suddenly fall back in the pack.
Well... . . . . . . . . . . Get yourself a better pairing in Jelle's Marble League history than Raspberry Racers and the Funnel Endurance without mentioning Team Galactic and 5th place. I swear these guys always know how to keep us clenched only to end up top 3 in the end. We're slowly recovering, our razzies may have had a slow start but they're holding on well! #RaspberryRobust💗 Well done Shining Swarm and Green Ducks for the top 2 spots!
I'm always excited for the funnel endurance, since it's one of our better events and the reason why i became a Raspberry Racers fan in the first place! Let's hope that this will mark our return to the top!
Well, at least Galactic actually made the final this time. And we got back into 3rd. Quasar won two golds in climbing and won a heat here, maybe he should be in the main roster
I am so happy to said, finally Raspberry Racers get their first medal. Rezzy do a great job even when he falls on the green funnels, he stays on the orange funnels, it does a pretty good job holding it. Congrats Rezzy, you deserve that medal for sure #RaspberryRobust
Genuinely enjoyed this particular configuration of funnels. This event is always intense but somehow it seemed more so in this event, with plenty of collisions and sudden changes in order. It was like watching marble Rollerball!
Funnel Endurance is my favourite Marble League event, and I love how it's evolved over the years. The skills required are so different from every other event, and I feel like it keeps every competitor on their toes (so to speak). Glad to see the Shining Swarm moving on up!
Can we just all appreciate the amazing work that Jelle, Dion and Greg Woods do on any single event of the world's best Marble competition that bring every event to life! Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹 and see you at the good old Rafting event!
Wow! What an intense event with leads switching seemingly every funnel! No lead is safe and amazing job by the podium winners! (Spoiler 6 lines down..) Fantastic showing by the Orangers again and consistency wins them titles. Keep up the great work and let's squeeze out the others for the title again!
Chocolate is know to have a very long lifespan, and I know our Chocolatiers have the same endurance to last just as long. I do think Bonbon should be in this because they do last the longest. Let's just wait and see. Edit: Mocha just didn't cut it... we had the lead and they blow it. Unfortunately but I know Mocha tried they best so. Next event, we will comeback
I remember as a new viewer years ago thinking this event was a bit of a confusing mess with how quickly the situation changes, but I've really come to appreciate the complexity of the tactical decisions in this event. Very deep, one of my favourites.
Lackluster result in the final there for Quasar, but well done for making it to the final at all. Good enough to bump us up to 3rd overall, so hopefully Galactic can keep up this momentum! #ReachForTheStars
Even if you are not a SS fan, you really have to appreciate the heart, & the event IQ of the team. > > > > > > I mean, just look at that performance despite a couple of absolutely _devastating_ missteps! The SS's refusal to give up, & to continue to push themselves even when victory is out of reach is so admirable!
This has been the most exciting I've seen of Funnel Endurance! Literally at the edge of my seat seeing how everyone would fare! Excellent work by Team Galactic to swing back into third in the overall standings! :D
Good effort from Yeller, unfortunately he struggled with sustaining it at the end of both heats. The fact that a 6th place still sees us drop to 15th is insane to me. I hope Mellow Yellow can turn it around soon.
Our boy did it pretty well! Considering it is his first time here... Still a lot to improve, but it's good to see some pointa finally coming!! #KeepItMellow #GoMellowYellow
Razzy from the Raspberry Racers gave a statement after the last event, why this year they seem to show a weak performance. According to the team leader, they had several issues in the past months to keep up their training sessions for ML22. This might affect stamia and speed in some competitions, but they keep their positive attitude to come back as strong as possible and win this tournament! Let's all hope they will do a great job in future events! #RR
It was actually the final heat rather and it was second to last since second last means second last place finish, but still great attempt for a comeback only for them to finish 6th.
@@eliezersmarbleraces3137 it must be dreadful being that pedantic. "second last" does not mean "second last place *finish*". please provide sources for your ludicrous claim. 'second to last' usually refers to time, such as; the second before the end of something. While "second last" refers to position. In precisely the way I used it. && if you want to get technical with it; it wasn't the last heat either, as "heat" refers to rounds prior to the finals, so it would have been more grammatically correct to say: "in the finals" so we were both wrong. Also also you have terrible punctuation for someone trying to be pedantic...
@@catdogman23 No, second last clearly means second last place finish, second to last through clearly means second-to-last place, I know the definitions just look them up yourself if you do not believe me.
1:18 Team cheers in order: Team Primary, O’rangers, Bumblebees, Raspberry Racers, Team Galactic (which was not in this heat), Midnight Wisps, Crazy Cat’s Eyes, Minty Maniacs, O’rangers, Raspberry Racers And at the end it’s “ RO RO ROBUST raspberry”
Love the new funnel format, although I’ve always loved them no matter what layout. But I think the orange-green alternations made this battle so great.
Funnel Endurance is always an incredibly suspenseful event ! Now I can't wait for Rafting !... I remember the amazing performance by my Green Ducks during the previous competition.
I am so glad to see the Raspberry racers finally get their act together and win a meddle. Rezzy's performance really deserved gold in my opinion, he did kind of boast on the first round but on the second he really had to hold off many attacks from the yellows and pinkies and was still was able to use their attacks to gain momentum and stay in the race until he got 3rd place, close to 2nd. I hope we're gona see more great performances from them in the comming events and less mediocre to terrible ones like the previous events. #RaspberryRobust
Funnel Endurance has always been the most intense event. It’s always a close finish. Definitely looking forward to this event!
It will be more intense if they keep adding more funnels each year
Or the winner is just so far away from the final hole
You didn't lie, Definitely intense
My favourite event of the whole league
My favorite event is block pushing for the combination of brute force and teamwork. But funnels is a close second!
It’s 7 in the morning and I am screaming into a shirt because a yellow glass ball went down a track too quickly. Yes, this is exactly what I want to do with my life.
and it's better than any real life bs people think is important and real life.

Good evening Mallard (my lord 😬)
What do you call it if the green ducks win this years christmas special?
A christmas quacker

Finally a medal for the Raspberry Racers! Rezzy really showed us a fantastic endurance run and good job on getting the best time of the event, finally showing we are #RaspberryRobust
But really, did he HAVE to show off that much in the first round? But it makes me happy that they didn't fail in their best event.
Top time should be worth some extra points.
We go good with an expectedly awesome event, but the showboating might've lit a fire under the others. #RaspberryRobust
Rezzy deserved gold, but pinkies and mellow yellow were clearly threatened and made it their goal to take Rezzy out.
@@lindsaykat3675 Honestly, I can appreciate that kind of hustle. Pushing opponents and aggressive plays are also a part of this discipline - Rezzy definitely used this strategy quite a few times between both rounds.
Also no offence to our marbles but even with first there was no threat with how the competition has been going, seems to me less like a concerted effort and more desperate clawing to stay in the funnel, the speed really rarely allows targeted attacks.
This is usually Team Momo's good event, so I hope that luck can transfer to the Bumblebees in their stead.
edit: ᵃᵍᵒⁿʸ
Spoilers:
Gotta love Bumble going from like 3rd to dead last in 2 funnels
WHY?! 😩
Spoilers:
bumblebees fly to basement
Next year will be team momo’s year
I was hoping they’d transfer their luck to BOC this year with them not in the league.
Sad days :,(
I was worried Rezzy would deplete his endurance with those victory laps in the first heat, but he held on! On the podium baby!!
Yeah, here I was hoping the same for Quasar...
YES PODIUM! The funnel endurance is always one of the raspberry racers' strongest events, and I am so glad they made it to the podium!!
That's for sure.
They were full of confidence for this one. Perhaps the showboating in the heat cost them a higher medal. Still, a great performance.
@@Pebble_Collector I think Rezzy just got to be too big of a target, the other competitors were really trying go get Rezzy to fall down in those funnels. I'm glad the racers did as well as they did with all that hostility
Rezzy always pulls through
Finally!
This is the best sporting event in the world, I tell ya. Great events and commentary, great production, no politics, pure fun. Amazing channel I just discovered.
Great to see the captain out for the O’rangers and pulling a 4th place to pull them up into 2nd. Let’s keep it going and get 1st!! Go O’s
Orangers are the worst
Kinnowin is a solid multi- disciplinary athlete who leads by example. If a decathlon style event was held for individual marbletes to compete in, he would have to be a favourite for a podium finish
Shining Swarm hasn’t been doing so good lately but still gotta have faith in them no matter what! Go Swarm!
Spoilers
Looks like they paid off, and with a gold medal.
Nice to see a fellow Swarmhead! My spontaneous analysis is that it is often not best to go last into a funnel, as you risk giving others extra speed. Something Sterling seemed to be aware of :)
This aged well!

HOW BOUT THAT
GOOOOOOOOOOORANGERS! Consistently high placements, great work team! Let’s GOOOO for GOOOOOOOLD! And failing that, beating the Speeders.
It's always heartwarming when the team in last place wins a gold.
There’s always a part of me that’s rooting for the teams who are often at the bottom of the leaderboard and don’t get as much attention. Kobalts, Rojo Rollers, Chocolatiers, and so on.

@@daniel6678 Makes it easier if your team is in those spots, no need to cheer on others. #RaspberryRobust
*SPOILERS*
That Hold by Mallard in the 2nd funnel was unbelievable, from being on of the first down, to the last last out of phenomenal.
Can I take a moment to gush about those medals? They are ADORABLE! Love them!
Loving the slowly building, slight obsession that Greg Woods is developing towards the majestic stadium duck. 😂😂
The parity of this competition is extraordinary. No one is more than 7 points clear of the adjacent rankings, and only the bottom three haven’t medaled yet. Loving it! #Gooooorangers
As a long time Galactic fan I really want this to finally be our year, but I gotta say I'm happy to see the Pinkies doing so well =P
At least we have 2 golds
And we got back up to third from Galacfifth!
I'm a hardcore Hazers fan, but I'm all the way behind Galactic this year. Glad to see we're staying relatively high in the standings so far!
Pinkies up!
Pinkies actually sabatoged galactic in the final heat. Like hardcore bodied them into quite afew holes very fast
I am a long time Pinkies fan. Glad to see them at the top of the charts. GO PINKIES GO!!!
Excellent performance by the Raspberry Racers! Longest overall time and a Bronze! A nail biting event in that last funnel!
They had it in 'em for gold but either way they definitely put on the best showing. In 2019 (I think) as well they had some amazing blocks and shoves when not doing so well so as to cement themself back in the lead and despite only coming 3rd, that tactic played dividends after it looked like they were falling to 6-8 territory.
Quasar's journey in the second heat is INSANE - GO GALACTIC! - and then dead last in the final lol
Yeah, he really showed us that he is rookie lol Spending all his stamina when it didn't matter. Well, you don't get experiences in supermarket and now he has some.
Good to see Rezzy really committing to #RasberryRobust!
This event is always intense, but the second heat was EXHILARATING! As a Raspberries and Mint fan, I'm so proud of the new drive the team have found and I hope they keep the Momentum.
Maybe.
those are my top 2 teams as well! :D
Hopefully...but then, the Funnels were always the Racers best event. I would have been crushed if they hadn't performed well.

Absolutely loved the alternating orange/green funnel design of the course this year. Made for a lot of great position changes.
As a Green Ducks Fan, this kept me at the edge of my seat!
That last heat was underdog story after underdog story but pure strategy and a lot of contact helped the green ducks win out!!!! SO exciting >w
There really is no funnel without FUN. I love this event
Facts 😂
At least in one of their traditionally best events the raspberry racers show some spirit
It’s been years since I’ve been this proud of my Shining Swarm. Pulling off Gold after being in dead last, is not only a literal victory, but a mental victory for the team and the fans.
I’ll wear my jersey with pride today

After a painfully slow start the Minty Maniacs are starting to look like they have some Minty momentum.
ahem... you mean "moMINTum"? 😉
This is going to be an exciting but hard event for the marbles today
Mallard pulled it out for the GD, and we are all quacking for him

Well, at least Galactic actually made the final this time. And we got back into 3rd.

Edit: Mocha just didn't cut it... we had the lead and they blow it. Unfortunately but I know Mocha tried they best so. Next event, we will comeback
First in the heat into last in the final is such a Team Galactic move. They drive me crazy.
My favorite part about these is how the commentator is able to build stories out of what's essentially randomness, same as in real sports
I remember as a new viewer years ago thinking this event was a bit of a confusing mess with how quickly the situation changes, but I've really come to appreciate the complexity of the tactical decisions in this event. Very deep, one of my favourites.
We’re keeping solid spots O’Rangers. Keep tanking through and we’ll get the gold this year!
OOOOOOOOOO
This is my favorite event by far because of the excitement and the possibility that things will change drastically during the event.
Yellow Eye never looked comfortable but 3pts better than none, thankfully teams from below took the big points so no major damage done.
Lackluster result in the final there for Quasar, but well done for making it to the final at all. Good enough to bump us up to 3rd overall, so hopefully Galactic can keep up this momentum! #ReachForTheStars

Good effort from Yeller, unfortunately he struggled with sustaining it at the end of both heats. The fact that a 6th place still sees us drop to 15th is insane to me. I hope Mellow Yellow can turn it around soon.
Funnel Endurance is always so tense.... hooh.
Today was a good showing from everyone though. Next event looks to be another toughie.
Most exciting event so far as a Mellow Yellow fan.
Our boy did it pretty well! Considering it is his first time here... Still a lot to improve, but it's good to see some pointa finally coming!!

The funnel endurance looks interesting this year. Go Speeders!
Go speeders
We may not have won, but we did get moved up to 5th place! We're getting really close!
Razzy from the Raspberry Racers gave a statement after the last event, why this year they seem to show a weak performance. According to the team leader, they had several issues in the past months to keep up their training sessions for ML22. This might affect stamia and speed in some competitions, but they keep their positive attitude to come back as strong as possible and win this tournament!
Let's all hope they will do a great job in future events! #RR
I’m always rooting for the Raspberry Racers, let’s hope they can bring it back from this disappointing start 🤞
When can I find Razzy's statement?
Where was this statement? The wiki page? Marblearth?
This is the best funnel layout EVER!
can we acknowledge that Yeller spent ~27 seconds in that third last orange funnel, in the second heat, sending them from second last to first. 9:22
It was actually the final heat rather and it was second to last since second last means second last place finish, but still great attempt for a comeback only for them to finish 6th.
@@eliezersmarbleraces3137 it must be dreadful being that pedantic. "second last" does not mean "second last place *finish*". please provide sources for your ludicrous claim.
'second to last' usually refers to time, such as; the second before the end of something. While "second last" refers to position. In precisely the way I used it.
&& if you want to get technical with it; it wasn't the last heat either, as "heat" refers to rounds prior to the finals, so it would have been more grammatically correct to say: "in the finals" so we were both wrong.
Also also you have terrible punctuation for someone trying to be pedantic...
@@catdogman23 No, second last clearly means second last place finish, second to last through clearly means second-to-last place, I know the definitions just look them up yourself if you do not believe me.
@@eliezersmarbleraces3137 I did, and you're incorrect.
The Funnels were usually my least favourite events but this time I was on the edge of my seat. I think the small side funnels definitely helped.
Shining swarm have a lot to be happy about this event. I'm not a fan of the team myself but if I was I would be happy especially after jumping 7 spots
What a crazy and intense match! Sounds like the fans were getting rowdy so it’s a good thing there wasn’t a riot after this one!
1:18 Team cheers in order:
Team Primary, O’rangers, Bumblebees, Raspberry Racers, Team Galactic (which was not in this heat), Midnight Wisps, Crazy Cat’s Eyes, Minty Maniacs, O’rangers, Raspberry Racers
And at the end it’s “ RO RO ROBUST raspberry”
big props to this guy for having to build all these
Love the new funnel format, although I’ve always loved them no matter what layout. But I think the orange-green alternations made this battle so great.
Funnel Endurance is always an incredibly suspenseful event ! Now I can't wait for Rafting !... I remember the amazing performance by my Green Ducks during the previous competition.
I am so glad to see the Raspberry racers finally get their act together and win a meddle. Rezzy's performance really deserved gold in my opinion, he did kind of boast on the first round but on the second he really had to hold off many attacks from the yellows and pinkies and was still was able to use their attacks to gain momentum and stay in the race until he got 3rd place, close to 2nd. I hope we're gona see more great performances from them in the comming events and less mediocre to terrible ones like the previous events.

FINALLY a medal for my Razzies. I didn't realize just how high up they started. I would be terrified at that height!
Nice to see that those teams that did strong in the heats did well in the final as well. Good performance and clean competition.
Good Job, Yeller! 6th is an awesome debut!
That final round was incredible! Props to all the teams for a great showing!
Endurance is always one of my favorite events. This one was fantastic.
Best funnels design yet, great job, hopefully this one stays so we can have a course record for funnels
What a masterclass on managing contact by team galactic in that first round
Balls of Chaos once again getting an early podium finish and then immediately diving towards the bottom of the barrel 😭
The Os clawing their way up the standings, keep it up guys! Payback for last year!
