Interesting facts about Event 7 of ML26

Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 6 of ML26 and Event 2 of MLS26

(Alot less than usual but the post for E8 will be alot more, promise u that. Ts just mostly a Star's glazing post really.)

Event 7
13 times in ML history has a team led an event by 20pts or more, Indigo Stars count for 4 of them. Only the Savage Speeders and O’rangers have multiple events leading by 20+pts, Speeders with 4 events and O’rangers with 2 events.

In fact there's been only 7 times that a team has led by 25pts or more, Indigo Stars are 3 of those times. All from E5-7, the only other time a team has led in consecutive events by 25pts were the Speeders from E9-10 when they led by 27 and 25 pts respectively.

In both the ML19 and ML26 5 Meter Sprint events, Yellow and Smoggy would each win gold and silver respectively in the 2 events. 

Indigo Stars join the ML17 Savage Speeders, ML20 O’rangers and ML21 Team Momo as the only teams to get 100 or more pts by Event 7 or earlier.

As well, they are the 10th team to get 100 or more pts by Event 8 or earlier. Here is a list of teams with 6 or more ML appearances who have never accomplished it once. Mellow Yellow, Team Galactic, Balls of Chaos, Chocolatiers, Oceanics, Bumblebees, Hazers and Snowballs

Indigo Stars have now led in 4 consecutive events. Not only is that the 8th time a team has ever led in 4 or more events in a row, before this event, it hadn't happened since ML22 when the Pinkies did it from E12-16. They are the 6th team in ML history to accomplish the feat. This is a list of every team to lead in 6 or more events without reaching 4 consecutive led events, Crazy Cat’s Eyes, Mellow Yellow, Minty Maniacs, Oceanics, Team Galactic and Thunderbolts.

Indigo Stars tie with the ML25 Oceanics for the longest consecutive events being in the top 2 in the standings from the start of the season. And considering that they are 28pts ahead of 2nd place, they’ll break the Oceanics’ record and join the following teams as the only ones to be top 2 in the standings for 8 events or more.
ML17 Savage Speeders(E5-12)
ML19 Raspberry Racers(E7-16)
ML20 O’rangers(E2-16)
ML21 Team Momo(E3-12)
ML21 Raspberry Racers(E4-11)
ML23 Savage Speeders(E3-15)
ML23 Bumblebees(E9-16)

Solar Flares and Team Plasma have placed 9th and 10th in the standings after an event for the first time in their history respectively. That means that every team, except for the Hornets have placed 9th in the standings after an event.

Indigo Stars’ 104pts is the 3rd most for any team in Event 7, behind only ML21 Team Momo with 108pts and ML20 O’rangers with 105pts. That kicks ML19 Green Ducks’ 98pts off the top 5 list.

With Mellow Yellow getting 1st after placing 16th, they’re the 7th instance of that happening and the first time it has happened since ML21. The other 6 times were 
ML16 Team Momo E9-10
ML16 Rojo Rollers E6-7
ML18 Limers E7-8
ML19 Midnight Wisps E6-7
ML20 Hazers E7-8
ML21 Green Ducks E1-2
They seem to really happen around the Event 6-8 range.

Interesting facts about Event 6 of ML26 and Event 2 of MLS26

Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 5 of ML26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

ML26 Event 6
Indigo Stars’ avg finish per event of 4.667 avg tie with the ML16 Thunderbolts for 7th best avg finish per event in the first 6 events. The 6 ahead of the Stars are:
ML21 Team Momo-4.5
ML20 Minty Maniacs-4.5
ML17 Savage Speeders-4.33
ML23 Savage Speeders-4
ML20 Crazy Cat’s Eyes-3.667
ML19 Green Ducks-3.667

Indigo Stars 96pts breaks the record for most pts by Event 6. The previous list from 1-5 were the ML17 Savage Speeders, 92pts, ML20 Minty Maniacs, 91pts and the ML19 Green Ducks, ML20 O’rangers and ML20 Crazy Cat’s Eyes all tied at 90pts.

Another interesting fact is that every team who had 85pts or more by event 6 never won their respective championship:
ML25 Oceanics(87pts, 2nd)
ML23 Bumblebees(89pts, 2nd)
ML23 Savage Speeders(88pts, 3rd)
ML20 Minty Maniacs(91pts, 3rd)
ML20 O’rangers(90pts, 2nd)
ML20 Crazy Cat’s Eyes(90pts, 5th)
ML19 Green Ducks(90pts, 2nd)
ML17 Savage Speeders(92pts, 2nd)
ML16 Thunderbolts(86pts, 3rd)

With Crazy Cat’s Eyes placing 8th in the standings after E6, they’ve placed 8th after an event in 7/8 of the MLs they’ve been in. The only one they’ve never been in 8th was ML20.

Black Jacks have also placed 14th in the standings after an event for the first time. The only position they’ve yet to be in is 15th.

With Indigo Stars still never placing out of the top 3 after every event, they join ML20 Minty Maniacs, ML21 Raspberry Racers, ML23 Savage Speeders and ML23 Crazy Cat’s Eyes, ML25 Oceanics and ML25 Midnight Wisps as the 7th team to stay in the top 3 in the first 6 events. The Stars, ML20 Minty Maniacs and ML25 Oceanics are also the only teams to be in the top 2 after every event in the first 6 events. Those Minties finished 3rd, the Oceanics finished 2nd and perhaps the Stars will finish 1st to finish the cycle.

Indigo Stars are the first ever team to lead from E4-6. No team has ever led in those 3 events consecutively. In fact, with them leading in 4 out of the first 6 events, they join ML25 Oceanics, ML19 Savage Speeders and ML20 Minty Maniacs to lead in at least 4 of the first 6 events.

Indigo Stars now have led 5 total ML events, the same amount as the Midnight Wisps, Bumblebees and Green Ducks have in all of their careers.

Raspberry Racers’ gold medal in this event means that they’ve won a gold medal in every ML they’ve been in since 2019, a 8-ML streak. The Hazers and Pinkies are the only other team to have won a gold medal in every ML they’ve been in since 2019.

Both Kobalts’ 30pts and Indigo Stars’ 96pts after this event are the first time either point total has been achieved by a team after Event 6.

Solar Flares have gotten 7th in an event for their first time. That leaves Black Jacks, Kobalts, Team Plasma, Wolfpack and Jawbreakers as the only active teams to not yet have gotten it.

Raspberry Racers’ Gold medal brings their total Gold medal count to 9. If they win one more, they’ll join Savage Speeders as the 2nd team to win 10 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals each. 

Pinkies’ Bronze medal is their 10th Bronze medal in their ML careers. They join Savage Speeders, Raspberry Racers and Crazy Cat’s Eyes as the 4th team to have 10 or more Bronze medals.

Raspberry Racers jumped 9 spots after this event and with Pinkies and Hazers both gaining 10 spots in E5 and E3 respectively, this is the first ML where 3 different teams gained at least 9 spots after an Event. Before ML26, there had been only 7 times where a team jumped 9 or more spots in the standings. Now there’s been 3 just this season.

Indigo Stars’ 29pt lead is not only the biggest lead a team has ever had in Event 6 but the 3rd biggest lead of all time beaten by O’rangers 35pt lead in ML20 and of course their own 34pt lead back in E5. It is not only the 2nd time that a team has led by 25pts or more in 2 consecutive games with the other being ML17 Speeders from E9-10, but also the first time that a team has led by 20pts or more in 3 consecutive games. There have been 12 events in ML history where a team has led by 20 or more pts, Indigo Stars have 3 of them. Only the Savage Speeders have more than them with 4.

Here’s a list of teams with 7 or more ML appearances to never accomplish that even once:
Pinkies
Crazy Cat’s Eyes
Raspberry Racers
Mellow Yellow
Thunderbolts
Oceanics
Midnight Wisps
Green Ducks
Chocolatiers
Balls of Chaos

MLS26 Event 2
Thunderbolts’ silver medal in this event has ended the longest active medal drought of all active teams in ML, MLS or M1. Before this, their last medal in any of the 3 tournaments was ML23 Event 14 back on November 25, 2023. The longest medal drought in all 3 tournaments now belongs to the Jungle Jumpers who haven’t won once since ML24 Event 16 on December 29, 2024. The time difference between Bolts and Jumpers’ last medal is 1 year, 1 month and 4 days.

The Thunderbolts gold medal is not only their first medal but also their first top 4 finish in ML, MLS or M1 since ML23 E14.

With the Wolfpack leading this event, they’ve not only led for the first time in a MLS tournament but in ML and M1 too. The Limers and Gliding Glaciers now remain as the only 2 teams to have never led once in all 3 tournaments. Limers have participated in over 128 combined ML, MLS and M1 events. Not a single one they’ve led in. 

With Rojo Rollers, Team Galactic and Jawbreakers all getting bottom half finishes, it is the 3rd time ever in MLS that all 3 teams on the podium would get a bottom half finish in the next event. The other times were from E2-3 and E4-5 in MLS23.

After Balls of Chaos got last, they’ve gotten last place in all MLS tournaments they’ve been in. They alongside Minty Maniacs and Hazers are the only teams with 3 or more Showdown appearances to have gotten last place in at least one event in every Showdown they’ve been in. Rn, the Minty Maniacs have to get last once to continue their streak.

Interesting facts about Event 5 of ML26

Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 4 of ML26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

(Probably my longest one so far, also credit to the ML discord for inspiration for some of these facts)

Event 5
Indigo Stars became the 2nd team in ML history to win 4 medals in the first 5 events. They join the ML23 Savage Speeders as the only other team to do so.

Indigo Star’s 86pts breaks the record for most pts for a team after E5. The previous list from 1-5 was ML20 Minty Maniacs, 83pts, ML20 O’rangers, 80pts, ML23 Savage Speeders and a tie between ML20 Crazy Cat’s Eyes and ML25 Midnight Wisps with 78pts. None of those teams would go on to win their respective tournament.

 Kobalt’s 29pts are also the highest last place scores after E5 in a ML tournament. The previous holder was 26pts, held by ML24 Hazers.

With Pinkies jumping 10 spots in the standings after this event and Hazers jumping 10 as well in E3, we have, for the first time, 2 events in a season where a team jumped 10 or more spots in the standings. ML21 and ML17 both had 2 events where a team jumped 9 or more events. Shining Swarm in E3 and Midnight Wisps in E2 for ML17 jumped 10 and 9 spots respectively, while Green Ducks in E2 and Savage Speeders in E5 for ML21 jumped 13 and 9 spots respectively.

Pinkies also break the record for most spots gained in Event 5 of a tournament with the previous hold being ML21 Savage Speeders, who mentioned before jumped 9 spots.

Indigo Stars’ 34pts lead over 2nd place is not only the biggest lead for a team after E5, with the previous closest being 15pts back in ML23, but also the 2nd biggest lead for a team in ML history. The other being ML20 O’rangers 35pt lead after E13. It also marks the 11th time that a team has led an event by 20pts or more. The other 10 times being:
ML26 E4(22pt lead)
ML25 E16(21pt lead)
ML22 E2(23pt lead)
ML21 E7(27pt lead)
ML20 E13(35pt lead)
ML20 E14(20pt lead)
ML17 E6(22pt lead)
ML17 E7(22pt lead)
ML17 E9(27pt lead)
ML17 E10(25pt lead)

Indigo Stars’ 34pt lead over 2nd place means that the difference between 1st and 2nd is larger than 2nd and last place which is 23pts. In all of ML history, there's only one other time this has ever happened, ML22 E2 when Team Galactic’s back-to-back gold medals got them a 23pt lead while the difference between 2nd and last was 22pts.

With Indigo Stars and Snowballs still being on the podium for 5 consecutive events since E1, they join just 7 other teams who have also accomplished that. 2025 Oceanics, 2025 Midnight Wisps, 2023 Crazy Cat’s Eyes, 2023 Savage Speeders, 2021 Raspberry Racers, 2020 Minty Maniacs and 2019 Savage Speeders. All 7 of those teams ended up in the final standings at an avg position of 2.86. Only one would win it all, that being 2023 Crazy Cat’s Eye.

Team Plasma have gotten an 11th in a ML tournament for their first time ever in a ML tournament. Now the Solar Flares remain the only active team to never place 11th in an event.

With Pinkies scoring their first gold of this tournament, they have gotten a gold medal in all 5 of their ML appearances since ML19. They, along with Hazers and Raspberry Racers, are the only teams with 5 or more ML appearances since ML19 where they’ve gotten a gold medal in all of them.

Indigo Stars’ 86pts and Bumblebees’ 47pts are both the first instances that a team had those specific amounts of pts after E5.

Crazy Cat’s Eyes have placed 15th in the standings after an event for the first time in their history. It is the lowest they’ve been in the standings since their 16th place back in ML21. As well, Kobalts and Team Plasma have placed 16th and 11th respectively in the standings after an event for the first time too. 

That makes the Crazy Cat’s Eyes the 14th team to have been in every overall position in the standings after an event and the 3rd team this season to do so, alongside Green Ducks and Savage Speeders. Kobalts just have to place 3rd after an event and they’ll be the 14th team to do so. As well, Team Primary remains the only team who have been in a ML to never be in 6th after an event.

With Crazy Cat’s Eyes failing to win a medal so far, it is the first time they’ve haven’t won a medal in the first 5 events of a ML tournament.

Back in ML16, Speedy would win E12 Hurdles by 0.002s. 10 years later, they would lose in ML26, E5 Hurdles by 0.002s. They lost to the same team, the Pinkies, that was last in that Hurdles event back in ML26. The last place back in ML16 was due to disqualification, and it was Pinky Toe, the same marble who won it in this event.

Interesting facts about Event 4 of ML26

Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 3 of ML26 and Event 1 of MLS26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

This time, I got ts out alot earlier than last time. Hope you like it.

Event 4
Indigo Stars’ 71 pts in the first 4 events ranks as the 6th best quarter and 3rd best 1st quarter in ML history. The only other quarters to have more pts than them are the ML21 Mellow Yellow, Q3(73pts), ML20 Minty Maniacs, Q1(75pts), ML25 Kobalts, Q4(76pts), ML20 O’rangers, Q1(76pts) and ML20 Savage Speeders, Q3(77pts). [For clarification, Q1 refers to E1-4, Q2 is E5-8, Q3 is E9-12 and Q4 is E13-16]

Savage Speeders’ 19pts in the 1st quarter is the 2nd fewest points they’ve scored in a single quarter across their career. The only one to beat it is their 2nd quarter in ML19 where they scored just 16pts.

With Indigo Stars leading after both Event 2 and 4, they now have a total of 3 events where they lead in the standings. They have led more events than the Balls of Chaos, Snowballs and Team Primary. They’ve led as many events as the Hazers have.

With Snowballs and Team Plasma getting a bottom half finish and Black Jacks getting a top half finish, every team so far has had at least 1 top half and 1 bottom half finish. It is the fastest it has ever happened since ML16 when each team had a top and bottom half finish in the first 3 events.

The Solar Flares, Indigo Stars and Snowballs have all remained in the top 3 of the standings after the first 4 events. That ties with ML25 as the longest streak, from the first event onward, in which the teams on the podium in event 1 have remained in the top 3 in th standings. 

Green Ducks have placed 15th in the standings after an event for the first time in their history. As well, Oceanics have placed 8th in the standings after an event for the first time too. That makes the Green Ducks the 13th team to have been in every overall position in the standings after an event. Oceanics just have to place 12th after an event and they’ll be the 14th team to do so.

Indigo Stars 2 gold medals in a 3 event period is the 9th time where a team has gotten 2 non-consecutive gold medals in 3 events. The others are ML25 Kobalts, E14-16, ML24 Solar Flares E8-10, ML24 Jungle Jumpers, E2-4, ML23 Bumblebees, E4-6, ML20 O’rangers, E2-4, ML20 Minty Maniacs, E1-3, ML19 Midnight Wisps, E7-9 and ML16 Savage Speeders, E6-8.

As well, Indigo Star’s 3 medals in the first 4 events ties for the most medals for a team in the first 4 events. They tie with ML25 Midnight Wisps, ML23 Savage Speeders, ML22 Pinkies, ML21 Raspberry Racers, ML20 O’rangers and ML20 Minty Maniacs. All of them would appear on the podium except for the ML25 Midnight Wisps.

Solar Flares have finished 9th in this event meaning that every single active team that have been in a ML rn have gotten 9th in an event before. I specify active cause the Hornets have never gotten 9th in a ML event before.

The top 4 teams in event 3, Hazers, Snowballs, Raspberry Racers and Savage Speeders, all got bottom 4 in this event. It is the first ever time that has happened in a ML tournament. The closest it had ever gotten before, from what I’ve found, is from E7 to E8 in ML16 when Rojo Rollers, Team Primary, Team Momo and Team Galactic who were 1st-4th in E7, finished 13th, 14th, 16th and 12th respectively in E8.

Interesting facts about Event 3 of ML26 and Event 1 of MLS26

Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 2 of ML26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

(Sorry that I couldn't get this out earlier, I was sick past few days and didn't have time to post. Anyway, hope you like it.)

Event 3 fun facts
Snowballs’ avg finish in the first 3 events is 3, which ties them with ML19 Savage Speeders for the 5th best avg finish start in the first 3 events. The other 4 are ML23 CCE, 2.67, ML19 Hazers, 2.67, ML18 Balls of Chaos, 2.33 and ML20 Minty Maniacs with 1.67. 

With Kobalts getting 11th place both times in Event 2 and 3, they get their first consecutive ML events where they’ve gotten the same position. Only the Jungle Jumpers and Hornets have never done it.

With Raspberry Racers placing 8th in the standings after the event, they’ve kept their streak since ML22 of placing 8th in the standings at least once after an event. They’ve done it all of their MLs except 2019 and 2021, Which just so happens to be the 2 MLs where they ended up on the podium

Solar Flares also placed 3rd in the standings after an event for the first time meaning that they’ve placed in 3 different positions in the standings for the first time ever in 3 consecutive events. 1st in Event 1, 2nd in Event 2 and 3rd in Event 3.

The Solar Flares, Indigo Stars and Snowballs have all remained on the podium after the first 3 events. This is only the 2nd time it has ever happened, with the other being ML25.

With Savage Speeders, Hazers and Raspberry Racers all getting top half finishes in this event, that leaves the Black Jacks as the only team to have gotten bottom half finishes in all 3 events. As well, with Solar Flares and Indigo Stars getting bottom half finishes, that leaves Snowballs and Team Plasma as the remaining teams without a bottom half finish.

With Snowballs leading after the event, it is the 4th time in history that 3 diff teams lead in the first 3 events. The others are ML16, ML18 and ML21.

With Hazers winning gold in this event, they’ve now gotten a gold in all 6 ML appearances

With Indigo Stars and Snowballs getting 46 and 47pts after Event 3 respectively, it is the first time that those 2 point totals have ever been achieved over the first 3 events.

All 16 teams got 12pts or higher after the first 3 events for the first time since ML21.

With Indigo Stars getting 15th place, that leaves Team Plasma as the only team left who has yet to get 15th in a ML event. Every active and retired team who have been in a ML have done it already.

MLS26
Event 1 fun facts(Not much unfortunately)
With Jawbreakers winning a medal in the first event of the showdown, that ended their almost 7-year long drought of getting a medal in ML, MLS or M1. Their last medal funnily enough would be all the way back in August, 2019 in MLS19 Event 1.

With Team Primary getting a bottom half finish, they’ve continued their streak since MLS23 of a bottom half finish in the first event of each MLS

Team Galactic also has gotten a medal in the first event of every MLS they’ve appeared in. Sure they’ve only been in 2 MLS, the other MLS21, but still note-worthy.

With Rojo Rollers, Team Galactic and Jawbreakers all getting a medal, they've now become the 2nd, 3rd and 4th team to win 2 medals in the first event of a MLS, the 1st being Indigo Stars. Jawbreakers first medal, Gold, was in MLS19, Rojo Rollers' one, Bronze, was in MLS20 and Team Galactic's one, Gold, was in MLS21.

With the Thunderbolts getting last place in MLS26 Event 1, Thunderbolts and Minty Maniacs are the only teams to finish last place at least 3 times in ML, MLS and M1 each.

Continuation of this post: Some Interesting facts about the Qualifiers and Event 1 of ML26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

Fun facts:

Indigo stars are the first ever team to win a silver and a gold in the first 2 events of a ML and thus the first team to score 45pts in the first two events. 3 teams have scored back-to-back golds in the first 2 events before a silver and gold.

That also leaves only 33pts, 34pts and 37pts to never have been accomplished in the first 2 events. All of those require at least a gold medal and a 8th, 7th and 4th place respectively

With Indigo Stars and Solar Flares leading an event so far, ML26 is the first ML since ML21 to have 2 diff teams leading in the first 2 events. ML21 also had the Indigo Stars leading, that time in event 1, but they ended up in 13th.

Indigo Stars also are the 26th unique team to lead in the standings after an event. Thus, Indigo Stars and Solar Flares have led more events than the Limers, Shining swarm and Gliding Glaciers combined. Those 3 teams have a combined 13 ML appearances.

Every single team has scored at least 6pts or more over the first 2 events, the 2nd time it has ever happened, the other being ML18.

Savage Speeders for the first time in their ML history has placed 15th in the standings after an event. They’ve been in 14th and 16th place before back in 2020 but never exactly landed in 15th before. With that done, they’ve now been in every overall position in the standings after an event, becoming the 12th team to do so.

Indigo Stars' gold medal is their first in ML since ML21 Event 1, back in July of 2021. Before that, they were one of 5 active teams to not win a single gold medal in ML from 2022 to now. That leaves the Gliding Glaciers, Minty Maniacs, Thunderbolts and Jawbreakers(Only counting them cause they un-retired) as the remaining teams of that group.

Their gold medal is also their first in ML, MLS or M1 since MLS23 Event of December 2023. There are now 7 active teams remaining who haven’t won a gold medal in any of those 3 tournaments from 2024 to now. Those are the Bumblebees, Gliding Glaciers, Minty Maniacs, Purple Rockets, Team Primary, Thunderbolts and Jawbreakers.(Technically the Purple Rockets aren’t active but I chose to include them here, also included Jawbreakers for same reason above)

Whizzy got last in the event marking the 3rd time they’ve finished dead last in a ML individual event. This wouldn’t be notable if it wasn’t for the fact that Mellow Yellow finished on the podium in all of those 3 events. 2019 5 Meter Sprint, 2020 High Jump and 2026 Shorttrack. Whizzy got dead last in all while Mellow Yellow got a Gold, Bronze and now a Silver respectively.

With Indigo Stars winning 2 medals in the first 2 events, they become the 10th team to win 2 medals in the first 2 events. Those others are the ML18 Hazers, ML19 Savage Speeders, ML20 Minty Maniacs, ML21 Raspberry Racers, ML22 Team Galactic, ML23 Crazy Cat’s Eyes, ML24 Green Ducks, ML25 O’rangers and ML25 Oceanics. The average final position of those 9 teams are between 3rd and 4th with the lowest being 6th so high chance Indigo Stars get on the podium as 5 of the other teams did.

Every single team on the podium in the first event all finished in the top 5 the next event for the 4th time in ML history. The other times were:

ML22 E15-16(Team Primary 1st->4th, Team Galactic 2nd->5th, Green Ducks 3rd->1st)

ML20 E9-10(Oceanics 1st->2nd, Hazers 2nd->5th, Minty Maniacs 3rd->1st)

ML20 14-15(Midnight Wisps 1st->5th, Savage Speeders 2nd->1st, Hazers 3rd->4th)

(That took me like 45 mins to comb through to find it)

Qualifiers fun facts:
With Limers failing to qualify this year, every single team from 2020-2025 that was in 16th place in ML, has failed to qualify for the next one afterwards

After Black Jacks and Bumblebees both qualified for ML26, there have each been only 2 out of 11 teams who placed 9th or 10th in ML before failing to qualify for the next ML. 2016 Kobalts and 2024 Wolfpack for 9th place and 2020 Oceanics and 2023 O’rangers for 10th place

Also Black Jacks and Bumblebees in the qualifiers ended up getting both a silver and gold medal each as well as finishing 3rd in their group with 33pts

With the Solar Flares qualifying for ML, every single team who placed 10th in MLS from 2021 to 2025 have managed to qualify for the ML after their MLS appearance. 2021 Balls of Chaos, 2022 Snowballs, 2023 Hazers, 2024 O’rangers and now 2025 Solar Flares

Event 1 fun facts:
Black Jacks get their first 16th place ever meaning that every team who has ever been in a ML tournament has gotten 16th except for the Jawbreakers, who just recently un-retired and thus if they qualify for next year ML, if they live till then, could make it so that the 16th place becomes the second position that every ML team has gotten alongside 6th place

Kobalts also get their first ever 8th place in a ML tournament

Black Jacks 16th place also means that every single team has gotten a bottom half finish in the first event of a ML or MLS tournament. Plus, the Wolfpack remain the only team to not yet get a bottom half finish in the first event of a ML tournament after Black Jack's 16th and Bumblebee’s 10th place.

Also, Hazers, Midnight Wisps and Team Plasma are the last active teams to not gotten a bottom 3 finish in the first event of a ML, MLS or M1 tournament

With Solar Flares and Team Plasma getting top half finishes, the Limers and Jungle Jumpers are the only remaining active teams to not yet get a top half finish in the first event of a ML tournament. Reminder that Limers and Jungle Jumpers have a combined 8 ML appearances to Flares and Plasma combined 4.

Solar Flares gold medal in the first event leaves the Gliding Glaciers, Thunderbolts and Wolfpack as the remaining active teams to not yet gotten a podium in the first event of a ML, MLS or M1 tournament

Solar Flares become the 25th team to have led in an event and thus removes them from the list of active teams to have never led in ML, MLS or M1. The remaining teams in that unique group are the Limers, Gliding Glaciers and Wolfpack. They each have 196, 92 and 56 combined ML, MLS and M1 events respectively.

Crazy Cat’s Eyes for the first time in their history finally competes against the Kobalts in ML.

Oceanics also compete against the Indigo Stars, Solar Flares and Team Plasma in a ML tournament before they ever competed with the Gliding Glaciers in ML.

Indigo Stars’ silver medal breaks the longest active medal drought in ML as they had not won a medal since ML21 Event 11 back in August of 2021. Now, every team has won a medal from ML22 and onwards. Minty Maniacs now hold the record for longest active medal drought in ML as they haven’t won one since November 2022 in ML22 Event 11

Solar Flare’s gold medal is their first ever medal in not only ML but in MLS and M1 too since April 2024 in ML23 Event 10. The Solar Flares, Thunderbolts and Jungle Jumpers were the only teams to not win a medal in any of those 3 tournaments from 2025 and onwards. That just leaves the Jumpers who haven’t won since December, 2024 in ML24 Event 16 and Thunderbolts who haven’t won since November, 2023, ML23 Event 14. Bolts hold the record for longest active medal drought in all 3 main tournaments.

Snowballs bronze medal now means that they have at least 5 gold, silver and bronze medals each. They are the 10th team to accomplish that.

Solar Flares gold medal is the 3rd one they've gotten in ML and thus they have more gold medals than the Limers, Gliding Glaciers, Bumblebees and Thunderbolts.
