About a month ago after the SMR Qualifiers was released I posted something about how this "New" Rn3 might potentially affect the SMR community, and if a new issue might arise regarding the situation. I guess I got my answer, the smr community is once again on its way to bring down Rn3. And I dont mean it in a bad way, Rn3 clearly has some sort of advantage compared to the rest of the athletes participating in the SMR. The community's action is justifiable, having one athlete stand above the rest due to unfair advantages is pretty hard to accept. What I do want though, as an Rn3 fan is for Rn3 to go out or retire in an honorable way. I know some fans might not agree with me on this one but giving Rn3 the championship this season then retiring him afterwards is the best possible scenario in order to stop this issue, it can end two things. One: Retiring Rn3 after giving him his best season would be enough for some fans and it wont ruin JMR's reputation too much, SMR fans have to understand that Rn3 became the face of SMR so Jelle cant just kick him out of SMR entirely. This way, by retiring Rn3 (and turning him into a coach or something) after giving him the best season of his entire career can finally end the (some) arguments and issues about the situation. 2nd: Real marbles can finally compete with each other, ending the debate whether materials matter or not. Cuz material really do matter, an example of that is none other than the aforementioned Rn3. Doing this can finally restore SMR's reputation, and it can finally give the rest of the smr athletes an equal fight for the championship.

…just to make a point about how ridiculously unfair this swap from glass to resin was. Even better if they win all the remaining races.

To top it off, there’s only 8 races instead of 10 (why????), and the two races that have had a lot of DNFs didn’t make those races nearly as enjoyable to watch.

(Just a heads up that this is a rant)

I started watching the Marble Rally at Season 5, and unsurprisingly this is easily the worst season.

I don’t need to discuss RN3 anymore because we all know what needs to change there.

The only two reasons I can fathom a shorter season are 1) JMR still thinks Marble Rally isn’t popular enough to warrant more videos, or 2) they realised they really screwed up with RN3 and are trying to minimise the damage (more of a conspiracy theory but still…).

As for the DNFs, the first race it happened in it was lowkey exciting. But that’s simply because of how rarely accidents of that quantity happen. DNFs are part of Marble Rally, and it would be weird for every race to go perfectly. But that many DNFs happening, and especially considering that six of them all went out in roughly the same place, seems more like shoddy track design and/or the conditions weren’t adequate for marble rally racing and they needed to postpone the race.

I LOVE Marble Rally. It’s easily my favourite of the 4 staples we currently have (including Marbula One, Marble League and Iron Marble). But these issues/decisions are really ruining this season for me (and seemingly many others).

Rant over.

I know it doesn't make any sense and I know it's all just inanimate marbles "racing" each other but damned if I don't find myself rooting for one team more than the others and also rooting against one team more than the others.

Anyone else have a marble team they actively root against?

has there been any news on the new coach/who do you think will get the job eg. new marble / mallard / old coach and what should the ducks be looking for with the new coach?

I know Momo is 1st because captain and Mimo is 5th member on the team, but is their 2nd-4th member the same as the Rojo Rollers, except Mo takes 2nd member? Because In Iron Marble, Team Momo didn't send their captain in the 1st round, so I have no idea who's the 2nd-4th members.
