Hello and welcome to this third round of the Marble Tournament,
a championship which has so far seen Ghost Plasma take the lead in the championship
after gaining 14 spots over the last two races, we'll see what he can do.
El Capitan and Pollo Loco chasing him in the world title thus far
but it's Dragon's Egg out in front, a marble that has finished 4th in both of the first two races.
He sits down in fifth in the championship overall.
Several competitors, including Snake's Tub, Reflektor and Deep Ocean, have yet to finish a race at this point.
Very early in the course here, a lot of marbles bunching up, getting a little bit of pressure right behind him
possibly from Marbly McMarbleface.
Also that might be Comet a little bit back behind.
But you look at Ghost Plasma, that kind of orangeish-red marble, taking that upper line
with Wisp of Darkness right now as they go over that ridge trying to track down these top two.
Slotting up into second place briefly is Wisp of Darkness but it's still a several length lead for Dragon's Egg.
A little bit farther behind there was Blazing Fireball making a few spots up.
But look at this gap. Is anybody gonna go--
Eh, several go right.
Interesting that several marbles immediately go right
and some of them actually plummet off the bridge as they try to go over it.
We'll see when the marbles reconverge here who has moved up.
There's Pollo Loco making a good jump into fifth place,
it appears just in front of Ghost Plasma, the championship leader.
But it's Dragon's Egg way out in front at this point.
The Flash now up into third passing Wisp of Darkness and a couple of others.
Let's see, Pollo Loco still there,
actually dives underneath, now Pollo Loco is into fourth, but being really challenged right now.
There's Ghost Plasma just entering your screen a couple of spots behind.
What can the championship leader salvage after starting a little bit farther back?
As we take a look in the bottom right corner there,
yes, that was the lead, that was Dragon's Egg flashing by.
And there you can see real-time some of these marbles there.
You can see the camera - clever work - as they exit these helices but it's Dragon's Egg way out in front right now
and it looks like The Flash is up into second place.
The Flash over Wisp of Darkness.
Then it Pollo Loco, that might be Comet.
Pollo Loco lurches back beside him.
Now Ghost Plasma taking that high line with Wisp of Darkness back there.
We'll see if either of them can make up any ground.
And no, look at how big a lead this is, my goodness.
Dragon's Egg in fifth in the championship.
He's gained four spots total but all of those came in the first race.
He started eighth and ended up fourth, in the second race he started and finished fourth.
Really slow section of the course right here, Flash trying to catch, trying to live up to his own name,
let's see if he can close ground on the leader right now.
This would do a lot of good really to helping Dragon's Egg in the championship
as they creep across this bridge.
The Flash, at this point, is not even in the top five in the World Championship.
Wisp of Darkness getting a lot of pressure back behind from Ghost Plasma
and they've closed a little bit.
Ooh, and he briefly gets hung up but Dragon's Egg will be unchallenged
in front of The Flash, Wisp of Darkness, Ghost Plasma.
There comes Marbly McMarbleface in front of Comet
and Glassy, Pollo Loco, Tarantula and Olympia.
Good race for everybody. We take a look at the points haul from this one.
Quite a few finishers including Reflektor and Snake's Tub again not able to finish the race.
And there you see the updated championship standings.
Ghost Plasma still stays on top but Dragon's Egg close behind.
