the anticipation and the nerves of opening week are through and now these teams look
to continue either a strong start or build on something that maybe wasn't the best start
as we begin the real bulk of this schedule in the marvel champions 2021 hello again friends
i'm keanu biterziki glad to be here on behalf of marble fubica for today's event this is our
second event of the 2021 marble champions a more traditional event as you see the starting gates
for this sprint style event today an opportunity for these teams to show off their speed after
a little bit more skill and precision was needed in our first event
this one's pure speed it's just a long sprint right in front of the
home stretch and all the fans in the stands glad to have them here as always
and there is the entire course of the starting gates up the front on the left side on the right
side you'll have the finishing gate here are the overall standings after one event swift blade one
are opening events so they are in the lead with 20 points leading by three
over the snow wolves who took silver and the archangels who took a bronze leading the group
but everybody really still in it after just one event the teams are ready the fans are ready
are you ready this is event number two of the 2021 marvel champions this is the sprint race
so again as you see this course typically you'll see wines and curves and different obstacles for
these marbles to avoid that is not the case today all about pure speed here are the groupings for
today's event different groups the style will work the same top two from each group will advance to
the semifinals top two from each semi-final will advance into our finale we'll start with group a
they are the steel brothers tatu bola snow wolves and flush and they come out of the gates
here we go and now we're in front it looks like it's flush and steel brothers coming across the
line still brothers takes the lead and flush takes the second advancement place they get the transfer
spot over the snow wolves who finished third tattoo bola finishes and last in that grouping and
so they will not advance you can see flush in the green look like they got out to the lead at first
those are the silver marbles of the steel brothers not surprising based on the name and there
is the pass for the lead right at the end a little bit of contact between the top two finishers
let's have a look and everything within at least a uh marble length there nothing too
crazy and so the flush and the steel brothers will advance into the first semi-final out of group
group b the janitors the series spiders the archangels and the savage jackal
and release and right now it looks like it's the savage jacqueline lead followed by the
fury spiders but here come the janitors into the savage jackal advance they did
they just beat out the archangels and the janitors come from behind after
running in third or fourth for the majority of that short sprint let's see where that run
happens they run the fastest time so far at a four nine four five and they just picked
up a lot of speed toward the end how close was it for second looks like it was pretty close
pretty close all the way around the exception really a fourth place looks like the fury spiders
weren't really in it as much as the other three but that was a tight run there so the janitors
and the savage jackal advanced into the semifinal they will take on flush of the steel brothers
moving to group c this is the vikings the trojans the onyx and the oris one
they come out of the gates it's the trojans and the vikings in the lead they look like
they've got a pretty big lead yeah it's just no matter who's gonna win it's the trojans
pretty significant there that was over two-tenths of a second between second and third and it was
never close orris one finished third onyx takes fourth but neither will advance obviously in one
of those transfer spots of the group stage the trojans led wire to wire there vikings
with a strong finish as well to take second place and they both advance into semi-final b
and the final grouping will include swift blade our points standings leader
also links rufus speedy hunters and the blue jackets and they are off bad start for
swift blade it's the speedy hunters and the blue jackets they will advance
exactly a tenth of a second between second and third that was swift played
and almost another full tenth back to the lynx roughest they struggled let's have a look
i just looked like link's roughest banging off the walls caused some problems
side by side for the majority of the race for first place
but in these group stages you only need to be first or second wow yeah it was close
coming across the line for who was going to win the state or win the group staging here
but not close for who's going to advance it was a pretty easy win there for the top two
we have another look at it let's see coming across the line how close pretty close
and so that will move the blue jackets and the speedy hunters into semifinal b
and here's the first semi-final we go back to the janitors the savage jackal the steel brothers and
blush janitors have the fastest time so far can they do it again they are in the lead here
is the flush in second savage jackal making a run cannot get it done the janitors and flush
advance savage jackal and the steel brothers will have to settle for a fifth through eighth place
finish savage jackal made a run there yeah the janitors are just they're pretty darn
fast right now it'd be interesting to see if they keep that through the final if they do
there's nobody that's gonna beat them they have the most speed right now
see if they're able to get a clean run in the final because they're in as our flush
savage jackal made a strong run still brothers struggle in fact because they made contact there
with the janitors they never crossed the finish line so the janitors and flush are into the final
and now semifinal b with the trojans the speedy hunters the blue jackets and the vikings
there we go and right now it's the vikings and the blue jackets here come the trojans they're
gonna take over second place they're gonna get it done at the line and that was the fastest time
yeah the vikings just ran a faster time than the janitors did in the first round
which was the fastest time to that point of four six five eight is the best time now
of this event and it belongs to the vikings and they do it in route to a semi-final win
and an advancement into the final and did it by a pretty large margin second place was pretty close
the trojans got it done and so they get to fight for a win here in the sprint race
blue jackets were close but just could not get enough at the end
so moving into the final here we go flush trojans the janitors and the vikings and they're off
and if it's not the janitors or the trojans would be a shock they are side by side cutting
in front and getting the win or the janitors unbelievable move shut the door
have another look at it and that was a great move by the janitors pretty strong
run by flush as well to stay up there with those top two that clearly have the speed
it looks like there was some drafting going on as flush trying to go from one side to another
and watch right here you can see cutting a little bit farther in front just clearing the trojans
and that's where the janitors make their move shut the door and will it win this one
boy that was an unbelievable move we'll see it again from this angle i mean you just can't do it
better than that so the janitors get the win and do it with one speed and two a great move to make
sure that they stayed in front of the trojans they are the winners event number two the sprint race
the congratulations to them a huge win for them and they show that clearly the janitors have
speed and so you better watch out if you're doing a speed event here in the marvel champions league
in 2021 because the janitors may just be the team to beat if that's the case great run by them
they'll make their way up to the podium as well as our second and third place finishers
they're the ones that get the big trophy look at the overall standings from today the results
the janitors pick up 20 points with that win the trojans finish second flush third vikings
fourth and the savage jackal fifth go all the way down to onyx links rufus and tatu bola who finish
in the final last three positions in fact that fourth last position is actually swift played so
swiftly gonna drop to fourth the janitors take a four point lead it's a tie for second between
the trojans and flush they each have a metal gold for the janitors as they get it done today
and get it done in pretty impressive fashion it was a show of speed and the show of precision as
well at the end with that move to cut in front of the trojans and not allow any kind of last
second shenanigans from them so they get the win congratulations to flush they pick up 24 points
the third place finish but they're now sitting at 24 points excuse me with the third place finish
so are the trojans after a second place finish they're now at 24 points both are tied for second
but all today they all aspire to be the janitors they get the win they also take the lead in our
overall standings as we are two events through now with the 2021 marvel champions league lots
more to come here on marble fubica until next time i'm keanu bittersicki and thanks for watching you
