MARBLE LEAGUE 2023🐝 FINAL Event 16: Honeydome GP🍯 + Closing Ceremony! 

Get this to top comment to avoid spoilers

OMG Red Eye just singlehandedly grabbed CCE by the bootstraps and carried them kicking and screaming to glory. As he has done so many times before. A true marble superstar.

This was an incredible effort by the hosting team, the Bumblebees! I don't think we've ever seen a host team perform this well and this consistently. The whole line up was incredible - not a single team missed the podium over the course of the whole championship. This may be a Marble League for the record books. Every marble out there should be incredibly proud.

I am so blown away by how close the podium was. It could have come down any way. Major credit to the Savage Speeders and Crazy Cat's Eyes, but most of all the host team. Well done Bumblebees, you were going up against two powerhouse legacy teams, and you hung in there. Well done, you served the queen well🐝🐝🐝

Watching the credits and reminding myself about Team JMR's OUTSTANDING effort to bring us a production that stands up to any of the big-time sporting events that you can watch on TV. THANK YOU, Team JMR... THANK YOU so much.

That top three difference of one point each is crazy. edit: I stand corrected. Still looks awesome.

Greg woods it goes without saying that your voice is an irreplaceable gift to this sport. I honestly don’t know how I’d feel if you retired. Thank you for lending this sport your gift!

It's a sad feeling when Marble League comes to a close. Thanks to the team for all of their work and everyone who supports. Congratulations to the overall champions and everyone that compete in this years event.

Spoilers: Everyone is talking about the heartbreak of Bumblebees and the clutch of Crazy Cat's Eyes, but I personally find it mindblowing how Savage Speeders managed to bottle the championship in just 2 events, from almost guaranteed to win to a bitter 3rd place.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from watching Jelle’s Marble Runs, it’s that having the word “red” in your name makes you inherently powerful

Okay it's official Red Eye is the MVP of the entirety of Marble League history! This was such a insane run, what a clutch at the end!

I cannot even begin to describe how underrated and relatively unknown this type of content, and this specific channel, are. The production is insane and I’m so happy to have been following along for so long to watch this channel’s growth. This is the only marble channel i really watch and i will happily continue to chime back for every event between watching my usual content. Thank you Jelle and team!! ❤❤

Way to go Bumblebees! Thanks for showing how a host should perform. What a wonderful run for you.

Not enough people are talking about how much the Rojo Rollers have improved this year after not qualifying last year and being dead last the year prior, never being mathematically eliminated until the final event and finishing 5th overall is a massive accomplishment for them! I personally think they also had the most exciting finish ever in the Elimination Race too which helps. They've made a real fan out of me this year! #RojoCaliente

My absolute favorite thing in the closing ceremony was @13:50 when the clattering release of the marble teams synched perfectly with the soundtrack and made it cooler and percussive. Hats off to the composer for that!

I've been a CCE fan for years and I was devastated mid-season when it looked like they were sliding down the standings. I am so blown away by their comeback, such drama!

I can't believe that race, the ending, or how the top three were all within a point of each other. I thought for sure the CCE were out of the running after that disastrous middle half of the games, but the came back in the end, and Red Eye proved what a legend they are by having legendary performances in the final two race events. I feel bad for the Bumblebees, because they were so good all around, and it really looked like they were going to overcome the Host Curse.

Arguably the single greatest back-to-back performance in marble sports history. Absolutely incredible to watch. Big thanks to Jelle's Marble Runs for another amazing season. All hail King Red Eye!!! 🤴

Is there any question left as to just how hard Red Eye is carrying the CCE?? What a performance, absolutely the most legedary marble athlete of all time

I am absolutely crushed for the Bumblebees. Huge fan of them and I was on the edge of my seat. Heart was pounding. Trying to will them to a ML championship on home soil. It felt like watching Borussia Dortmund. Just slipped away at the last possible moment. I'm heartbroken but will continue on. Our time is coming.

As a wisps fan, I’m so proud of the bumblebees. They put together a season for the ages. One lap away from glory. Congrats to the cat’s eyes!

Red eye is the king when it comes to marbula one. He proves himself yet again, and brings home the championship. What an absolute LEGEND!!!!

As a CCE fan, seeing Red Eye overtake Bumble made me literally jump up and down with excitement.

I just have to praise JMR's on the attention to detail on display in almost every race, don't think I didn't notice the one marble that went out of its way to put the chair back up that fell over during the podium ceremony. It's those little details that really adds to the viewing experience as a whole. Thank you for this years Marble League and congratulations to the winners of course!

Spoilers I am stunned. I started yelling so loud on that last lap. Been waiting for CCE to take it all since 2018! So proud of them. Red Eye, your perseverance is admirable. Thank you to the whole JMR team for bringing us the best entertainment on RU-vid year after year.

This is the greatest comeback I’ve ever seen in Marble League history, I might be wrong but did CCE go from 8th to 1st in just 2 events?? Also the battle with the Bumblebees was straight out of a movie! Only 1 point separates the champions my lord! And only 1 point separates savage speeders from bumblebees! Closest Marble League we’ll probably ever see. As a Chocolatiers fan it was just exciting to see this crazy action from the sidelines 😅

Firstly, a big congratulations to all teams for a brilliant marble league. Secondly, as a Crazy cats eye fan, I honestly thought we’re not going to win but I’m sure glad we did. Finally a big shoutout to the bumblebees for being brilliant hosts of the league and we’re a brilliant team during it.

CCE had more last place finishes than anyone other than the last place team and still won. What a comeback

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MARBLE LEAGUE!!! Been a fan of the Bumblebee’s since they got introduced in the 2018 Hubelino tournament. The way they played this season was just amazing! The merge with the Hornets really boosted this team’s talent and strength. They’ve grown from being a mediocre and forgettable team to fighting for an ML championship. Well done Bumblebees. Couldn’t be more proud of you 🐝 #BumbleRumble #BringTheSting

Oh what? The one team I wasn't counting on. Bumblebees did everything they did but came up just 1 point short. That would have been a huge win for the hosts. Ouch. Savage Speeders fell but the Cat's Eyes snickered the championship. Such a classic season right to the very end.

WHAT A DEFINITION!! WE DID IT!!! CCE TAKES IT ALL!! The golden child RED EYE carries us. 5 years in the making, and the year i least expect it the team pulls through, bronze and two golds in the last 3 events to take it all. The bumblebees 3 turns away from taking the whole thing until Red eye does their thing, absolute GOAT performance.

As a guy who watches football and other sports, if you were to tell me 10 years ago that I would be up past midnight, absolutely ecstatic to be watching marbles fight to be first and genuinely enjoying myself, I would’ve said you were nuts.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! WHAT A GAME!! Spoilers I've been a CCE fan since the start (this is my first full Marble League) and it is thrilling to see them have this wonderful comeback! We've had ups and downs, but most of all its about the friends we made along the way

So amazing to see 2 points separate 1st and 3rd. Massive congrats to CCE and the host Bumblebees, and ofc so much love to my Speeders for hanging on despite some rough performances at the end to secure the podium.

So proud of the Rojo Rollers, after so many unsucsessfull years to finally be back and deliver a respectable result. Hope they qualify again next year!😊

Thank you Jelle and everyone else involved for another wonderful Marble League 😍♥

Gliding Glaciers and Shining Swarm entered this event tied for last at 102 points, last year's marble league had Balls of Chaos finish dead last with 64 points, both Glaciers and Swarm would've finished better than 15th as well over the Midnight Wisps who had just 82 points as well. This was a much tougher competition this year!

OMG! I’m actually quite emotional here, amazing stuff Red Eye and all the team!!

OMG This channel is so awesome!!! Honestly I love watching marbles... and that's not something I ever thought I would say lol! Sincerely, the production was amazing; graphics, camera work, audio, announcers, stadium, etc etc everything was so well done!!! I really appreciate all the work that goes in to these :) Greg Woods shout out too of course!! It's nice to have a familiar voice after all these years, accurately and intelligently call these events!

I never thought I’d feel proud of a marble, but man that was an intense last few events for the winners. Thanks for a tremendous season and thanks for everyone’s hard work!

What an amazing end to the Marble League! The closing ceremony is always a delight to see! Bumblebees played great as the host this year. What a glow up this team had after merging with the Hornets! Can’t wait for more future content! Thank you Jelle and everyone who took part in making this amazing Marble League 🐝

I want to thank the whole team at Jelle's for their great efforts and to the Bumble Bees for being such a great and fine host for the games. And may everyone enjoy the hollydays and have a good start into 2024! And i want to congratulate CCE for winning the 2023 Marble League events! Lads, you make me proud - and my poor heart almost stuck and jitter while that event.

Thanks to Jelle and everyone involved in putting together this year's Marble League! Its been great fun to watch! :D

Wow, what a Marble League! Hard to believe the top three spots were decided by just two points. You can’t ask for a more competitive Marble League. Just disappointed the O’rangers weren’t in that mix. Hopefully they can put it together next year. Thanks Jelle Bakker, Greg Woods and everyone that makes the Marble League so fun to watch. I know I personally can’t wait for Marbula One again.

Red Eye doing Red Eye things. That's why he's a Legend in marble sports.

Before I comment on the race, I just want to thank *_absolutely everyone_* involved in the games. I can only imagine how much hard work you all put into it. I won't name all the names, I might inadvertently miss someone out, but Jelle - your organisation and build skills are outstanding. How you keep coming up with new ideas and even keep the old favourite games fresh, I don't know. Bedankt dat je je passie met ons hebt gedeeld en ons tijdens de games enthousiast hebt gehouden. (Excuse my Dutch if it is wrong! I'm _trying_ to learn it!) Minos - your graphics and music compositions as well as the top tier performances really help raise the overall show to a level any other channel could only dream of. Frankly, it's way better than many TV shows these days. And Greg - your commentary is genuinely second to none. This is coming from a 50+ year petrolhead, brought up with the awesome Murray Walker as my guide to everything from touring cars to F1. So believe me, I don't compliment people lightly. As for the games, I can't believe that the Crazy Cats Eyes did it! My #2 team. I'd given up hope earlier in the season, much as I did with the O'Rangers. But it was an awesome performance by Red Eye. I should congratulate the home team too for Bee-ing so Buzz-y on keeping the games going. 😉 🐝 They did a very sweet job! 🍯🍯🍯

The Speeders began this event with a huge handicap, since we've seen already in M1 many times that starting on the back and moving to the top positions is very difficult and rare, unless you miraculously jump 10-12 positions in the first 5 seconds and then keep advancing from there, it's borderline impossible Making the classification from the last event be what determined the starting grid was a huge mistake, since it was almost as making the previous event count double. The stsrting position matter a huge lot in a race like this Anyways, congrats to the winners 😊

That last moment upset between Red Eye and Bumble was insane! I'd all but given up hope on Cats Eyes taking the gold this year, but what a recovery in those last few events!

This might probably be the best Marble League edition ever, perhaps even better than last year where it ended with the Elimination Race. The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing and it's nice to see even the hosts Bumblebees having a go at a shot at glory in what is easily their best performance ever. I'm looking forward to next year and the JMR crew have done a great job at delivering yet another exciting Marble League this year. *SPOILERS:* _The Crazy Cat's Eyes...WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? In the back of my mind, I knew that the Savage Speeders were a shoo-in for the title after winning the G-Force Endurance event, with the Bumblebees some distance back. But I bet that no one thought that CCE had any chance to win this league. And yet with their experience in dominating Marbula One, they proved to the marble world that NOTHING is impossible. Greatest comeback and choke in ML ever? Certainly!_ 😲

This team really gave me a heck of a rollercoaster of emotions in this league... The fact we had 3 zeros in this league... And the sleuth of down performance that occured during the events from 10 to 14 I gave up hope and thought we were going to be the oceanics this year and fall down all the way to the bottom... But this storyline was of their victory instead... Btw shoutout to the bumblebees.. they gave us a great fight and we will see you next year as our auto-qualified comrade....

THIS IS A TOP 10 MOMENT IN SPORTS HISTORY. red eye the undisputed GOAT, absolutely legendary performance putting the team on his back. im in shock.

What an incredible finale! You can't get much better than this! Truly cinematic stuff indeed. Unbelievable how CCE were up and then down all over the place throughout the league only for the absolute champ that is Red Eye to power through the last 2 events and then make that absolute winning move to take gold. Great kudos to the Savage Speeders for their powerful consistency and for being such great rivals and huge congrats to the Bumblebees for being such marvellous hosts, smashing that host's curse and being a single point from gold. Best league ever. (And not to forget my other team but I'm proud of the Raspberry Racers too for putting in solid and consistent performances. They're a good, all-round team. I want to see them reach even higher!)

When I see the billions of dollars spent on the Olympics, I bow my head to the Bumblebees and Marble League for putting on an event that actually has passion and spirit to it; at a fraction of the price. Fabulous!

COME ON PINKIES!!!! Valiant effort, I’m so proud of the pinkies regardless, no longer bottom feeders I’m so proud 🥺

I love the complete dedication to emulating NASCAR's broadcast style, its what makes these videos.

I almost threw my phone during that last lap! Oh my god! Thank you Jelle for creating the most captivating and exciting sporting event in history.

As disappointing as it is to come up just short of a podium finish, I have to remind myself as a Pinkies fan that just a few short years ago, we were bottom feeders who didn't even qualify for the main tournament. Defending a championship is one of the hardest things you can do in any sport, and the Pinkies were only 7 points away from doing just that. I'm proud of this team, and the winning culture they've been building. I know they have silenced their doubters who considered last years win a "fluke". Here's to next year, and congratulations to the Crazy Cats Eyes on the victory!

Incredible, the final podium and they're all just 1 point away from each other. Really makes you appreciate how truly every point counts, every game, every finish. I honestly think every team should be proud this year, irregardless of standing. It was so close for so long, an incredible performance by all!

What a series! Crazy Cat’s Eyes ❤️ How on earth did you manage to come back! So proud #CCEForever

What a PHENOMENAL season and final event. As a cats eyes fan I was biting my nails til the very end. Incredible race performance by red eye. Massive thanks for a great production throughout the league, already excited for next year!

Thank you Jelle and crew for everything this year. Was an incredibly close competition all the way to the end

Red eye is the best marble to ever exist.

So proud of my team the MIDNIGHT WISPS! Wispy what an incredible freaking run there! You were leading the pack for quite some time. So proud of you guys and all you’ve accomplished this year. It’s that tenacity and effort you give this sport that makes me proud to be a long time fan. Night is coming. #FeartheNight #WilloftheWisps

Really love the work that went into the closing ceremony. Best one yet. Thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Thank you for an amazing Marble League - it was pure excitement and it were amazing competitions, with many nice wins and moments to remember. That final championship battle was absolutely awesome and had me on the edge of the seat! 😁 Congratulations and thank you to all teams, the JMR staff, Greg Woods and everyone for an amazing season! :D Hope next year, and the 2023 Showdown will be as exciting as the ML2023! 😀 SPOILERS AHEAD: The battle for the championship was amazing to watch! 😄 The last move in the last lap deciding it, and having Red Eye showing his M1 skills where he needed it the most, these were moments for the history books. 😎Congratulations to the CCE for this win! :D Bumble gave her best, but in the end, half a lap was missing. But hey, 2nd place at the Home Games, just a single pont behind, and 1 more point in front of the Speeders - this is something to be proud of nonetheless. Even though losing the championship in the last lap is heartbreaking too... Nonetheless: Great job by both Bumblebees and Speeders this year! 😃 Starry had nothing to lose today, and got home the good 4th place to end the season on a high note. Nice little fightback in the closing laps! 😉6th in total is not too shabby, after the bad luck they had to endure during the season! 😃 Galactic can build on this, and I hope they can #ReachForTheStars next year again, and it will be a Winter one too! 😊 Looking forward to it! 😃

Spoilers: Red Eye being the speed champion and carrying the team HARD. He always will make us proud. Congrats to the hosts for getting a podium spot, even if they honestly deserved the gold that we stole from them at the last second.

"Some of these marbles have been training their whole lives" brings a tear to my eyes.

The three things why we did not win the championship 1. Choosing Swiftly over Whizzy in the Funnels 2. Whizzy in Sand Rally 3. Grid positions which we were robbed and finished 13th.

I must say- (hitting enter for spoilers…) What a comeback from CCE, and my favorite team! Every year in the past I remember being disappointed with the 10th/11th place finishes. This year, I had faith in my favorite team and believed until the end they would at least get in the top 3. A well deserved victory, congratulations CCE (and also a congrats to my second favorite team, the gliding glaciers, for being the next hosts)! My parents and I loved watching these events (Green Ducks/Team Galactic & O’rangers/Pinkies fans for my dad and mom respectively), thank you all so much for all the hard work put into it, certainly had us excited to watch on the TV after a hard day of work. The end had me screaming a happy “no way, oh my gosh”! We’ll happily be tuning in again in for the next marble league. -Minori McKinney, on behalf of the McKinney family, fans of these marble runs!

As an O’rangers fan, this season has been tough to watch! Congratulations to the Crazy Cats Eyes.

As always, the closing ceremony brings a tear to my eye. Thanks to all the athletes for a great Olympics. We'll see you at the next Olympiad!

Definitely going to be some conversation on why the Savage Speeders started our reserve marble on the most important event

Screaming, crying, laughing, right now. What a Marble League finish by our cats, with 65/75 points in the last 3 events. What a finish by Red Eye, the competition's MVM, by far. Only at around lap 10 I realized that even with the Bumblebees finishing the race in 2nd, we could win it all by getting to 1st. And it made the rest of the race so much more intense to watch. That overtake on the last lap sent my chair flying back. #eyesontheprize All this intensity emotions-wise just proves how good JMR's content is, to create such thrilling competitions and teams that we cannot help but care strongly for.

watching this as a wisps fan, my heart was beating so fast for most of the race, although we didn't get to the podium, i feel proud of wispy's performance #WillOfTheWisps

And once again the Midnight Wisps start with an amazing performance only to fall back in the end, also is quite ironic that they did so well in the GP considering that in the last couple of Marbula1 they've done horribly. Still....it's my team and I'm rooting for them, let's hope they do more training

first year being able to watch all of marble league as it released. what an emotional ride i was sent through!! thank you to everyone at jelle's marble run for working on this through these months, the whole team did an amazing job and i cannot wait for next years marble league :)

Have yet to watch. Hoping for CCE to pull off the miracle. So ready for this. Spoilers: YESSSSS I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW LETS GOOOOO

Even though it was a rough season for us, i am super excited that we are being the hosts for next year! i count on you, Glaciers! #GlideToGlory

WHAT A RACE!!!! Everything was insanely close and came down to the wire, and was fantastically produced and commentated! THANK YOU JMR!!

I've been routing for CCE Since the beginning, and I was worried in the middle there but this was so heartwarming to watch. Congrats to all the teams who tried their best!

That is an insane final standing. Only three points between the three leads!!

This is freaking adorable. 😍😍 I loved seeing the little marble announcers with their headsets-so cute!

Dude, I am legitimately in tears and in disbelief in this final event and the overall standings! I can't believe it.... as a CCE fan, I thought we'd at least get a silver on the overall standings after a lot of mess ups in the middle portions of the league. And then seeing Red Eye still gave his all after the Sand Rally event, holy wow so much emotions. That last lap was incredibly intense and amazing, I was in tears (over freaking marbles haha). Bumble really put up an incredible speed and blocks, and that goes to the rest of their team. The host team has been amazing this year. Might be my new favourite team after CCE. Congrats, Crazy Cats' Eyes, you mad marbles! Always bringing surprises and hope to see more in the next Marble League! Also, congrats to Bumblebee and Savage Speeders. Shoutout to Team Snowballs too. I thought they also brought amazing surprises this year. And thank you, Team JMR for bringing another exciting Marble League!

We won guys ...CCE won! #EyesOnThePrize

OMG!!!!! What a run for Red Eye!!!! Legendary performance

Thanks a lot for all this season and for all your work ! Cheers guys !

What an incredible finish to an incredible season! Once again the quality of production, the drama, the detail you and the JMR team put into this is SECOND TO NONE. Bravo! Can't wait for next year!

Seeing the Rojo Rollers do so well this year is amazing.

Oh boy, this is it. Time for thunderbolts to get the platinum, granting them eleventy million points Spoilers: I'm very happy for the cce. Crazy comeback, earned that championship for sure.

I've been a hardcore Wisps fan since 2017 (their debut) and I'm proud of their performance this year! CCE is my 2nd favorite team, congrats to them and especially Red Eye, and the coach White Eye. #WillOfTheWisps #FearTheNight

One of the best finishes I've ever seen. As an Orangers fan I was rooting for the Bumblebees to finish first in their home stadium! To have such a close finish was riveting and it was great fun to watch! And of course the closing ceremonies are always amazing.

Wow! What a fantastic season. CCE turned their season upside down so dramatically. This is also the best performance from a home team. Speeders dropped the ball completely in the last 2 events but I'm still glad they at least finished on the podium in the end. The events presentation along with the closing ceremony were fantastic. Thanks JMR for this amazing show you have delivered for us. I hope the next league happening at Gliding Glaciers home will give them a boost as it did for bumblebees this time.

Best Marble League Ever! Congrats to Jelle and his amazing team. Bravo Tutti!

This is the only sport show I watch. It is therapy to me. Viva la Jelle's Marble Runs! Send in the Rescue Marbles!

So proud of my Pinkies! . . A 5-medal performance just one year out from winning everything. So so happy!

Another great year! I love all the little details you put in, like the chair falling over and being fixed. Guess I have to go watch all the other ones again

Excellent series this year, what a great performance from all the teams! much appreciation for the JMR and fans!

What a beautiful league! Emotions until the last lap of the last event!
