## History

### Pre-Marble League

Cyan Eye and their teammates came from the city of Felynia in North Africa, a city sandwiched between two rivers and it's known for it's prestige in film and entertainment. Their career began when they were selected from their respective district to represent Felynia in sport. Their team started their careers at the 2015 Knikkegen Marble League, in which they finished 11th. In Late 2017, the Crazy Cat's Eyes were accepted into the 2018 Marble League, and as a result, the team headed to the Arctic Circuit in Hailfern to compete.

### 2018

The Crazy Cat's Eyes were invited to take part in the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers. Seeded in Group A, the team managed to qualify in the exact qualifying threshold for Marble League 2018 in 4th of their group.

The team started Marble League 2018 with an eleventh-place finish and a bronze, putting them into fifth overall. The team finished fifteenth in the Halfpipe falling to tenth overall. The team got three consecutive sixth-place finishes, placing them in eighth overall at the halfway mark. From this point on, the team began to lose their momentum. They got three consecutive bottom finishes which dropped them to 12th. Then a record-breaking gold in Biathlon moved them up to 9th. Cyan Eye made their debut in the Ice Hockey where they made an incredible save in the final match of the group stage, but could only salvage a 11th-place-finish. The team eventually finished 10th.

During the off-season, the team visited the Turtle Sliders, who took them boating around nearby islands, a stark contrast to their desert home, as well as showing them their facilities and training together. This led to a strong friendship between the teams, with the Sliders visiting the Cat's Eyes in Felynia in later years.

### 2019

In the first event in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers, the Funnel Race. Green Eye managed to win the event, well ahead of the rest of the field. Undaunted by their last place finish in the next event, Block Pushing, the team proceeded to perform well in the next two events, qualifying for Marble League 2019 in third overall.

The team got off to a slow start in Marble League 2019, placing in 13th after two events. The team turned their fortunes around by medalling in the next three events, including one gold and two bronzes. This run of medals lifted the team into fourth overall. The team continued the with six bottom half finishes in the next seven events, including Hubelino Maze where Cyan Eye participated with the whole team and got 13th. Then came the Elimination Race where Red Eye managed to get a bronze. Red Eye was already tired from their performance in the previous event, causing them to finish last in Surfing. This was followed by a 15th in Collision and a last-place-finish in Sand Rally. The Crazy Cat's Eyes ended Marble League 2019 in 11th overall, which was a huge disappointment for the team.

During the off-season, The Turtle Sliders visited Felynia and the two teams trained together. The team were rarely seen at their training sessions during the offseason. Rumors started to spread that they had gone out to the Cat's Dunes to train.

### 2020

#### Marble League 2020

During the off-season, Felynia's High Council, led by Cleocatra, invested heavily in the team and appointed a new manager, Bullseye. The Crazy Cat's Eyes returned in the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers. The team finished 1st in Balancing with a score of 407 cm. Cyan Eye was selected to participate in Funnel Endurance and finished 9th, which kept the team in first overall. In the next two events the team got a 16th and a 3rd respectively, making the team finish in second overall, qualifying them for Marble League 2020.

The Crazy Cat's Eyes had a successful start to Marble League 2020, getting seven top-eight finishes in a row, putting them in second overall just before the half way point. Unfortunately, as had happened in previous years, the second half of the competition did not go as well. A brief glimmer of hope if returning to form came with a bronze medal in the Black Hole Funnel. However, they crashed back down with a run of four bottom half finishes putting them in fifth with one event to go. The team sent Red Eye for the final event, the Marble Marathon. Red Eye had a good race and finished 3rd in the end, making the team finish in 5th overall, their best Marble League finish so far. After the Closing Ceremony, they were revealed as the hosts of Marble League 2021, auto-qualifying them for the competition.

The High Council had a large budget for Marble League 2021 and immediately got to work, tearing down Felynia's athletic fields and building the Felynia Coliseum, with a capacity of nearly 20,000. This meant the Crazy Cat's Eyes had business deals and stadium construction to manage as well as training. After Marble League 2020, the Cat's Eyes along with other marbles went to encourage their friends the Turtle Sliders who had another disappointing time in Marble League Showdown 2020. They also allowed them to again visit Felynia to train with them.

### 2021

#### Marble League Winter Special

The Crazy Cat's Eyes were invited to participate in the Marble League Winter Special. Blue Eye managed to win the first event and set a new Marble League Record. Unfortunately, things turned downwards after that as the team failed to place higher than eighth in the remaining events, including a last place finish in the final event, Ice Hockey. Despite a promising start, the Crazy Cat's Eyes could only manage an 11th place finish overall.

#### Marble League 2021

The same week that all 2021 Marble League teams were in Felynia for the group draw, the High Council organized the Marble League 2021 Practice Race to exhibit the natural beauty and wildlife of the city. Red Eye was sent to participate and finished fifth. The Solar Flaresarrived early to the city and went sightseeing. When they returned, Flare and Blaze started having a sword fight with souvenir scepters they had bought. Red Eye saw them dueling and this gave them the idea for a Jousting event.

The draw happened at the same time as the grand opening of the new stadium. A parade was held on the streets of Felynia featuring the Crazy Cat's Eyes as well as all 20 competitors from Marble Rally Season 5. A ceremony took place inside the stadium in which the team was presented with a Key to the City and two roads were renamed Red Eye Way and Yellow Eye Road. All 28 teams were then welcomed onto the stage and each team was sorted into Group A or B. The Cat's Eyes again trained with the Turtle Sliders to help both teams prepare for Marble League 2021.

The team got off to a hot start, winning the Friendly Round. Despite this, they placed dead last in the standings after two events. However, the team quickly turned things around in the 5 Meter Sprint where Green Eye won gold, taking the team into ninth overall. The team placed mid-pack in the next four events, taking the team into eighth. Two bottom two finishes dropped the team to 13th. The team then managed to make a comeback including a silver and a gold, which jumped the team to 3rd. The team placed dead last in Football with a humiliating score of 0-4 , thus dropping into 7th with one event to go. Red Eye finished fifth in Marblocross, and the team finished in a respectable fifth in the standings.
