I've been a fan for a while. I remember when I shared it on reddit early last year and the link got like 1.5k upvotes and lots of people had never heard of up.

The key is to early on pick a team or two that you over the top act like are amazing. Just dive head first into semi-ironic fandom for one and you'll enjoy it way more.

Pfft, limers? More like LAMERS. They didn't even make it to 2020 qualifiers and don't get me started on the disgrace that is Jellime:

Compare that to my favorite team's star player, Speedy:
https://jellesmarbleruns.fandom.com/wiki/Speedy

He's not just talented but he's arguably the smartest player in the entire league.

It is real and has been for a bit, but Covid basically cancelling most sports has led to this blowing up HUGE.

A couple of people having fun means it's not real?

I saw that John Oliver was sponsoring this season and then I forgot about it. The clips he showed looked pretty cool.

This is a youtube channel that has been going for some years. It's been just 1 guy for a very long time, but recently it's been getting more and more attention so the second annoucer and slight sponsorship (as well as some of the production value in the intros) is new.

But even if you go back in time his production value has always been pretty good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg7ilESQjN8

In the end it's a cheeky way to have "sports" without people, plus it's just as unpredictable as real sports, and you can get invested in players and teams just like real sports too.

It's some wholesome internet fun that recently caught more attention.

EDIT: I like to think I helped it catch on a bit with this post on reddit in April 2019:

I'm not sure if you're being facetious or are taking what I said too literally.

Nice. I don't know if this is a thing I could really get into, but it was way more interesting to me than any other race I have ever watched.

Yeah it's a lot of fun, and since it's just marbles you can get invested because nobody knows the outcomes.

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if in the future it catches on enough that Vegas starts taking betting odds on it.

Vegas finds a way to put betting odds on everything so it is just a matter of time.

If that's so, you might appreciate the opening ceremonies.
