The third event of Marble League 2017 was held on 8th July 2017, featuring the third event, Fidget Spinner Collision.

This event is remembered for Momomomo's injury, where Wispy and Momomomo collided very hard, causing a piece of Momomomo to break off. After this, the Midnight Wisps paid a large portion of Momomomo's hospital bill to make amends with them.

Event[]

In Fidget Spinner Collision, two teams of four marbles roll towards each other from opposite ends of the arena, which contains a fidget spinner in each corner. The aim is to knock the other team's marbles out of the arena. The team with the most marbles left in the arena is the winner. The sixteen teams are divided into four groups, where the best two teams advance to the next round.

Trivia[]

  • Momomomo was injured during the group stage match with the Midnight Wisps and as a result Team Momo had to withdraw from the event. All of their results in the Group Stage were declared void. Momomomo's injury meant that they wouldn't be able to compete for the remainder of Marble League 2017.
  • The Limers dominated this event remaining undefeated until the final when they narrowly lost against the Shining Swarm.
    • The Limers were the only team in the event to finish their group with 3 wins.
  • The team members of Shining Swarm rode on top of one of the fidget spinners to celebrate advancing past the quarterfinals. They then did it again after winning their semifinal match.
  • A fan from the stands entered the arena right after the heats. The security removed them from the arena.
  • Due to Momomomo's injury, the IMC decided to discontinue Fidget Spinner Collision and replace it with a similar event with higher safety standards.[1]
    • This also resulted in the prohibition of fidget spinners being used in the Marble League, but not all JMR events. In fact, it was reused again in Marble ManiaX and Marble Survival. Obstacles in collision are replaced by ball bearings instead.
