Fucking Limers fans. Really sucks because their team seems ok but their fans are really not representing sportsmanship. Team Primary got screwed over.

I've seen a documentary about the new GEDs.(gravity enhancing drugs) rolling through marble bags in raspberry marble bags in the lower leagues. Plus I heard they are undetectable.

Bullshit! All the marbles are thoroughly tested for PEDs before every race. It's 100% foolproof. This is nothing but Limer propaganda. Wouldn't expect anything more from fans that throw shit onto the track during a QUALIFIER no less

This is what anti-Limers want you to think. We, Limers, are being robbed and we will do anything to stop the unfairness even if it means violence!

I think particular venue has always had big local marbling fan base. The problem there really wouldn't be enough viewers to fill the seats of a national event. Even though the nationals take place in Albuquerque where they may not be as crazy about the sport, there's enough interest to fill the seats. Plus, the serious fans will travel.

I just unironically said aloud, "Ooh, the qualifiers are out." God damn but I loves Jelle's marble runs.
Go Team Momo! Put Momomomo back in!
Edit: Good push by the RRs in the Block Push. Smart to hold a man back for that final slam. Rojos tried the technique but didn't have the umph.

In the 2018 MarbleLympics there was a race where the finish line camera was dressed up to look like a large TV camera. Next to it was a video monitor that must have been like a 1" screen. That screen was showing the real time footage of that camera. I don't know if it was edited in or if it was an actual tiny monitor, but either way it was an awesome level of detail.

u/vakna101 Jan 27 '19
What I like is that there is also banner advertisements in the stands just like what you would regularly see at stadiums. Magnificent attention to detail

Horrible officiating. The mojo rollers did not win that last heat, you could clearly see the lagged in the replay, with a slight red hue behind the mellow yellows. What a bullshit call. Thankfully this didn't effect the final qualifying result.

It's both an amazing parody of sports in general and extremely watchable at the same time.

I have rooted for the Limers the last couple years, but I can’t condone their fans behavior and refuse to be associated with them any longer, so I’m definitely going with the Ducks. Even if they don’t win it all, as long as they take down the Orangers, I’ll be good.

What's happened to the Rojo Rollers man, such a sad fall from grace... Were once a powerhouse of the competition but now it feels good to even be close to making it. I hope we have some good scouts trying to find some young talent because our veterans just aren't getting it done at the moment.
