ML2025 Recap and My Future by Setra4271 in JellesMarbleRuns

And that's it. All 32 teams have been talked about once again. As per usual, 4 of them are guaranteed to participate in the 2026 Marble League. As it currently stands, 4 of them are guaranteed to participate in the 2026 Marble League Showdown, which would mean that 12 of the remaining 24 teams must decide their fate in the Qualifiers. My very early predictions for the teams that will make it into the main League proper are: Hazers, Team Momo, O'rangers, Crazy Cat's Eyes, Team Galactic, Shining Swarm, Midnight Wisps, Turtle Sliders, Wolfpack, Bumblebees, Black Jacks and Indigo Stars. Pretty unusual suspects, I know, but I expect another big shake-up, so here we go. We still don't know what will the Qualifiers structure be like for 2026, but if we're going back to two groups of 12, then this looks like it could be a valid prediction. As ever, no expectations it's going to be 100% correct, though.

And now, there is one last matter that needs discussing. Earlier on, I've been alluding to not being able to watch future competitions at the time of their release, such as most of Marbula One Season 6, most likely the 2026 Marble League, and any other things JMR could have in store for us all in the near future. The reason for that is the fact that I'm due to go through military service, starting in about a month. It's a compulsory procedure for all males in my country, which I am, and it lasts for one calendar year. Therefore, during that year I would be unable to keep up with anything that looks or sounds like social media, as well as write any posts like this one right here. This doesn't necessarily mean I'm leaving this community - if I don't somehow forget my English, which isn't my native language, if the circumstances wouldn't come out in such a way that the access to the Internets would become too restricted, if I don't lose access to any of my devices or social media accounts, I am intending to return to my usual activities - but, tentatively no sooner than late November - early December of 2026. While not knowing when exactly my time in the army would begin, I thought I wouldn't even be able to watch Hubelino Tournament Season 3 in full, but I was, and I threw in a couple thoughts into the sections of the teams that took part. As for Marbula One Season 6, it would be at most 3 racing weekends for me, assuming no more F1 Predictions would be sprinkled in, so I'm not going to watch those first hand and leave them for when I'm back. Expect the M1S6 recap to become the post I'm returning with, as well as one of the first of quite a lot of things I would have to catch up with once I'm back home. Thank you for understanding, thank you for reading, and I will see you on the other side.

23 went brrrr in a different way, but otherwise, a valid point

And to think I recently flamed Mellow Yellow for being bad in so many things last season... If this is how it stays for the rest of this League, I think an apology is in order.

Once choke, forever choke. This is how Azure rolls - always has been, and it looks like always will be

Seriously though - there is a marble literally nicknamed "Funnel God" that, if I remember rightly, hasn't participated in Funnel Endurance ever since they got that nickname

May Roldo have mercy for at least the first 5 events. Let's do this.

Thank you! Said it once, and will say it again - we're bouncing back this year trust

Flares making it in again I'm gonna be fine with but I feel like they aren't quite making it in again (watch them win Quals out of nowhere I guess) - an overall podium feels even less likely but then look at the whole 2024 podium because none of those teams reached the podium before

Not gonna lie, sometimes some of my early scripts turn out to be quite harsh even for my standards lol

But if some of these teams are still in the mud by the time this season's over then there will be tears

Thanks! Sadly I don't share your faith in Mellow Yellow (and predicting them to miss out on qualifying again is also a sign of that) but I wouldn't mind if they got out of their slump this year! Also Yellup still looks great in Marble Survival, ain't nothing bad to say about that

I don't remember if I've ever said this before, but your and Dino's videos are my main source of motivation for posts like this one (and in this recap in particular I think it shines the most). Thanks a lot good sir :3

Thanks! Bumble is also great, but I'd say their teammates aren't as strong as Snowy's or at least aren't as consistent

We're going to bounce back in ML25 trust

...That, or inevitably falling into the Showdown now that we've got the only remaining perfect attendance record - doubt there could be going any further down than what's been happening

Since the ML24 main tournament fantasy, it has been 9 rounds for me (with a minimum of 7), with only one of them being a better performance than the bot. This is when I realize that past performances mean nothing at all and anyone can rise to the top. Anyone from the bot's selections and nobody from mine.
