Current

橘子队是一只在ML2016首次亮相的橘色队伍。橘子队的队圆有Clementin，Kinnowin，Mandarin和Tangerin。橘子队手持ML17的总冠军，可谓是ML中最成功的队伍之一。目前来说，橘子持有三项ML记录，在他们五个半赛季的ML生涯中，他们一共斩获了五枚金牌，六枚银牌和三枚铜牌。在每一场ML中，橘子队都设法让自己的总排名待在前六，在每一场锦标赛中，橘子从未跌出过上半区。

橘子队在北美墨西哥海峡临近奥兰多城的地方经营着一家橘子农场。在参加ML以前，这支队伍曾经参加过果赛。

橘子队也是ML目前最热门的队伍之一。在他们ML17的极限翻盘夺得总冠后，他们的粉丝数量突飞猛进。不过，他们也因在2020年的最后三个项目只获得10分，把前面35分的领跑优势拱手让人而颇有些“著名”。

Clementin，Kinnowin，Mandarin和Tangerin是橘子队的四名初始成圆。在2018年，Orangin加入了这支队伍。2019年，Kinnowin成为了队长。在M1的第一赛季中，Orangin的出色表现让她成为了一名正式队圆，随即，Tangerin便成为替补。

## History

### **弹珠联赛之前**

 File:Orange.jpg
O’rangers是一支来自北美东南部的由五位兄弟姐妹组成的球队。这五个人来自O'Marbles家族，他们在Orlango市附近经营一个橘子农场，同时也专门从事斗牛和越野比赛。现任家族族长Mandarin于2006年与他们的兄弟姐妹Clementin、Kinnowin、Tangerin、Orangin、一起创立了橘子队，并参加了当地的比赛。

在比赛的前两年里，橘子队表现出色，受到了水果联赛所有者Greg Woods的注意。2008年，伍兹参观了O'Marbles家族的农场，在邀请他们加入水果联赛之前，核实了橘子队是否一支以水果为基础的团队。该队接受了，并在水果联赛比赛了八年，直到2016年因弹珠联赛的兴起而关闭。在水果联赛的最后一年，橘子队在最后一场比赛中赢得了足够的积分，击败了树莓队，获得了第三名。该队与青柠队和醇黄队一起获得了2016年弹珠联赛的参赛资格。

### 2016

最初，O’rangers对2016年的弹珠联赛是否正规持怀疑态度，因此参加了第一场比赛，名为O1、O2、O3和O4，排名第9。四人看到了比赛的正规性，决定在参加下一项比赛——接力赛之前透露自己的真实姓名。在这场比赛中，他们获得了第15名，但由于赛道上的缺陷，他们得到了一个安慰积分。该队在第3项“碰撞赛”中获得第5名，赢得了第一分。

在第五项跳远比赛中，Kinnowin以10厘米的成绩打破了之前的弹珠联赛纪录，赢得了这项比赛，并为O’rangers赢得了他们有史以来的第一枚奖牌，一枚金牌和10分。他们在之后的项目中没有获得任何奖牌，但仍以连续五次上半决赛的成绩强势晋级。这帮助球队以31分的成绩在2016年弹珠联赛中排名第5。当然，他们对结果很满意，但想要更多。Mandarin决定在农场附近建立自己的训练场。

### 2017

橘子队以资格赛第三名的成绩获得2017年弹珠联赛的参赛资格。他们在上半场开始了主要比赛，在前三个项目中获得了两个第7名和一个第5名。Clementin为该队赢得了第五项跨栏铜牌。即使在大理石联赛期间，球队仍在继续训练，但他们最终决定停止训练，以便节省精力。然而，在本赛季的前半段，奥流浪队有一些不稳定的表现。截至第6场比赛接力跑，该队在总积分榜上跌至第9位。

但奥流浪队很快将打破弹珠联赛的纪录，并在第7项“推箱子”比赛中获得金牌，从而在积分榜上上升5位，排名第4。他们的球迷欣喜若狂，他们试图跑到球场上庆祝，结果被安全圆挡住了。这标志着队伍在本赛季剩余时间的统治地位的开始，在球迷的大力支持下，橘子队在剩下的五场比赛中的三场比赛中都登上了领奖台。

在第8项跳高比赛中，Mandarin表现出色，以第二名的成绩落后于醇黄队的Yellah（打破了弹珠联赛的纪录），获得银牌。在倒数第二个项目“水下比赛”中，Kinnowin在半决赛中打破了弹珠联赛的记录，在决赛中以第二名的成绩落后于午夜队的Wospy。这足以将与总冠军和他们的竞争对手野竞的差距缩小到10分。

在最后一场比赛中——沙地拉力赛中，野竞队的Swifty在第一轮预赛中被淘汰，这为橘子队打开了通往冠军的大门。事实上，Clementin在最终的比赛中轻松地进入了前4名。尽管他们以银河队的Starry排名第二，但橘子队还是能够在总积分榜上抢下野竞队的领先优势，赢得2017年大理石联赛冠军。但这还不是全部，他们也自动获得了2018年大理石联赛的参赛资格。球队随后进行了一场世界巡回赛。这是一件大事，他们关闭了O'Marbles农场一个月，并邀请他们全家去旅行，导致橙子产量持续一个月的下降。

### 2018

Orangin于2018年作为替补加入球队。这一年以友谊赛开始，橘子队排名第三。但这并不重要，因为该队在2018年弹珠联赛中成为所有参赛球队中最稳定的一支，在12个项目中的10个项目中都在前半区。在前九项比赛中，他们只在第三项“半管”中取得了一次下半场的成绩。与前一年一样，该团队采用了节约体力的策略。他们最终在第10项冬季两项比赛中获得了本赛季唯一一枚银牌，从而获得了总榜第二。

不幸的是，在最后一场比赛——沙地拉力比赛中，橘子队没能跟上。该队仍有机会赢得联赛冠军，但Kinnowin在比赛中排名第三，因此被淘汰。在2018年弹珠联赛结束时，球队排名跌至第四，落后海洋队9分，尽管他们在整个赛季保持一致，但似乎错过了2019年弹珠联赛的预选赛。

在休赛期，橘子队在他们的橘子赛道训练，并参加了100米水上比赛和神奇迷宫弹珠比赛。Mandarin无法复制他们之前在水中的成功，获得第20名，但该团队在迷宫中获得了第二名。该队曾申办2019年弹珠联赛，但最终输给了海洋队。但这为橘子队留下了一个预选赛名额。

### 2019

The O'rangers, along with their new coach Rango, arrived at the Seven Seas Stadium for the Friendly Round before Marble League 2019. Orangin performed poorly in the first event, Funnel Race. However, the team were able to win two of the events, namely Block Pushing and Underwater Race. This put the team in second place, just one point behind the Oceanics.

However, the O'rangers started off poorly in Marble League 2019. Kinnowin, who was voted as team captain, finished in 14th in Event 1, Underwater Race, which was surprising because they had won the event in the Friendly Round. This was followed by Clementin crashing into the wall at the start of the next event, Funnel Race, leading them to stop due to head trauma. They were unable to finish, and the team dropped to dead last overall for the first time in their history. The doctors confirmed Clementin's injury was minor, but recommended them to stay off the roster for a couple of events.

The O'rangers followed this up with three middle of the pack finishes. However, in Event 6, Relay Run, the team earned a silver medal after beating the Pinkies in a tiebreaker race-off in the semifinals, moving the team up to 9th overall.

Despite their strong performances in the next three events, the team fell to eleventh. After Event 10, Hubelino Maze, the team rose back to ninth, but a streak of poor results followed. In Event 13, Elimination Race, Mandarin crashed out of their heat, making the team fall back to 11th. However, they did earn an extra two consolation points due to a track defect.

Unfortunately, a disappointing eleventh place finish in Surfing confirmed the O'rangers would no longer be able to finish in the top three. The next event was Collision, where the team admittedly had never got past the quarterfinals. However, they impressed the fans by winning the event, earning their first gold medal since 2017. The team jumped to 7th place overall. Along with this gold medal, they had a strong end to the season with a fourth place finish for Kinnowin in the final event, Sand Rally, finishing in 6th place overall. Through the struggles, the team had grown even stronger.

 File:O'rangersCollision2019.jpg
While training for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers, the O'rangers received an invitation to participate in Marbula One Season 1. Interested, they accepted it, and chose Clementin, "Our Darling", and Orangin, "True Orange", to represent them. The O'rangers quickly became a much-favored champion candidate in Marbula One as the fans believed that their strong overall performance in Marble League could be extended here.

### 2020

#### Marbula One Season 1

In fact, Clementin was able to prove the O'rangers' status as a championship candidate by getting the pole position in their debut at the Savage Speedway Grand Prix. However, during the race, they hit an attenuator and fell behind, finishing in sixth. Orangin made their debut at home at the O'raceway Grand Prix. Unfortunately, they qualified in 15th and finished the race in 14th, leading fans to blame this on the Host's Curse.

Clementin's next appearance was at the Momotorway Grand Prix where they came 5th, but did manage to get the fastest lap. Orangin started to turn their season around by qualifying in second at the Hivedrive Grand Prix, but they fell victim to the Hive during the race and finished in 8th. The O'rangers were ninth in the Teams' Championship standings. The team came to realize they needed a breakthrough in the second half of the season.

The O'rangers started to turn their fortunes around at the Greenstone Grand Prix where Orangin qualified in second, 15 milliseconds behind Yellup of Mellow Yellow, before winning the Grand Prix, their first individual medal. They had led the race for six of the eight laps. Clementin didn't do so well at the Short Circuit Grand Prix, finishing in 10th, but again setting the fastest lap. Orangin's final Grand Prix was at the Razzway. They managed to qualify in second. During the race, they never left the top five, finishing in second as well as setting the fastest lap. This brought the O'rangers to third overall with one Grand Prix left.

 File:O'rangersM1S1.jpg
The qualifying for the Midnight Bay Grand Prix was mired in controversy due to an incident, where Speedy of the Savage Speeders started their qualification lap before Clementin had even finished theirs. Even though it had nothing to do with the incident, Clementin qualifying in 11th was a great blow to the O'rangers' chance to win the championship. The team's fate was sealed by a twelfth place finish, making the team finish in third overall. They had managed to set three out of eight of the fastest laps, more than every other team.

#### Marble League 2020

The O'rangers held their same five members approaching Marble League 2020, and entered the Marble League qualifiers for the first time since 2017. At the beginning, they did terrible as they were just hovering above the line between qualifying and not qualifying. However, their form picked back up and eventually finishing 8th in the Qualifiers. The O'rangers started Marble League 2020 with a 10th place finish in Balancing. However, a 3-event long podium streak brought them to the top of the Marble League, surpassing the Minty Maniacs, who had the best start to a Marble League in history. Two back-to back bronze medals sent them top of the Marble League, although a 12th place finish caused the O'rangers to drop to second with a 9 point gap between them and first place. But then, in the High Jump event, Mandarin won the event as their title contenders Savage Speeders finished last, causing the lead to be extended to 35 points.

 File:MandarinHighJump2019.jpg
However, a terrible 11th place finish in the Team Aquathlon, losing out to the Oceanics, whom was notorious for their poor performance in water events, followed up by an abysmal 16th place finish in Collision, saw them dropping to 2nd, 5 points behind the now-leaders and bitter rivals, Savage Speeders. In the last event, Kinnowin is unable to successfully to assert control in the Marathon event, and they lost out to the Savage Speeders by 7 points, finishing in 2nd.

During the offseason, the team trained harder and had been working on upgrading their stadium, the Mandaring. Named in honor of the O’Marbles family leader and acting team manager, the stadium had been heavily considered to host the 2021 Marble League, and rightfully so: it was newly constructed, triple-tiered, and had a built-in fan section for O’rangers fans to yell to the stars.

#### Marbula One Season 2

 File:Arctic Circuit's podium finishers.png
After the Marble League ended, the O'rangers were invited to the second season of Marbula One. They accepted, and once again sent out Clementin and Orangin for the new season. The O'rangers had a torrid start to the season, as Clementin and Orangin both scored no points at their debuts in the season, and despite some decent performances, the O'rangers were stuffed at 16th in Marbula One, behind the likes of the Limers and Kobalts. But then, Clementin qualified at 3rd in the final Grand Prix in 2020, and proceeded to win a silver medal at the Arctic Circuit. Thanks to this, the O'rangers shoots themselves up to a more respectable 8th place to end the year.

### 2021

#### Marble League Winter Special

During the offseason time, the O'rangers were invited to participate in Marble League Winter Special and they accepted. They had a slow start. Clementin delivered a 9th place finish in the opening event, the Ice Dash, but then the captain Kinnowin also failed to impress and got 7th in Snowboard Cross, dropping the team to 10th in the standings. Orangin only got 11th in Speed Skating, dropping the team to only 11th with two events to go.

 File:O‘rangersBobsled2021.jpg
In the Bobsled coming up next, O'rangers managed to break the record set by Gliding Glaciers three years ago. This is also the eighth record broken by the O'rangers. In the end the record-breaking score was enough for them to win the event, jumping to 4th with only one event to go. In the final event, O'rangers met Pinkies in the round of 16 and beat them in the round of 16, and bet championship contender Minty Maniacs in the quarter-finals, and became the only team able to overtake the leader, Oceanics only if they get gold in this event. However things did not work out and they were beaten by Raspberry Racers in the semi-final. They faced Team Galactic in the Third-place Round and won, getting 3rd place in this event, jumping into 2nd place in the standings.

#### Marbula One Season 2

The team entered the second half of Marbula One Season 2 in 8th place, 8 points behind Team Galactic. However, things did not go well in the first Grand Prix in 2021, as Orangin qualified at 15th at the Raceforest. In the race, a 9th place finish was not enough, and the team dropped to 10th overall. Clementin qualified 10th in the following Grand Prix, but was able to climb to 4th and clinched 12 points. Orangin then qualified 5th in Palette Park Grand Prix. Despite dropping to the bottom pack at the start of the race, Orangin made a comeback and finished 7th. The team stayed at 9th with three races to go. An unfortunate DNF in the Misty Mountain Grand Prix dropped the team to bottom half again. Another 11th-place-finish in Savage Speedway Grand Prix meant that the team was out of podium contention. Orangin got 8th in Midnight Bay Grand Prix and the team finished this season in 10th.

During the offseason, Tangerin became the new reserve and Orangin became a regular member of the team. Kinnowin participated in Marble League 2021 Practice Race and got 7th out of 28 teams.

#### Marble League 2021

The O'rangers finished 3rd in the Friendly Round despite a strong start. They got off to a decent start by placing 7th in Wave. However, a 15th place in Balancing sent the team down to 14th overall.

## Trivia

* The fans of the O'rangers are the most vocal ones during the Marble League. When their team is competing in the events, a long 'OOOOOOOOOOO!' is heard in the supporters area.
* The O'rangers share a rivalry with the Savage Speeders, mostly due to their statuses as the most successful teams in the Marble League.
* They also share a rivalry with the Oceanics.
* The O'rangers are one of four teams that have been able to qualify for every single Marble League so far.
* Some O'rangers fans claim that Speedy from the Savage Speeders distracted Clementin during the the qualifiers for the Season 1 Midnight Bay Grand Prix. However, the JMRC determined there was no cheating or interference by the Savage Speeders, nor was Speedy found to have any unfair advantage by setting off early. Speedy was thus allowed to keep their qualifying lap intact and retain their pole position.
* They are one of three currently active teams to be a solid color. The others are the Snowballs and Mellow Yellow.
* They received 70 points total from Events 2 through 4 in Marble League 2020, the best three-event total ever, beating the Minty Maniacs' 65 points (Events 1 through 3).
