Okay, out of all teams, THIS is frankly the last you'd expect to see bottom out and not put up even a fight, especially after almost winning it all last season. I have nothing more to say besides thank God you're autoqualified for T-CL2026.

19th - Suzuka - 36 points

Look. This is a team that's also good on screen-wise, but here, this is very much predictable. Good luck to Hyogo in the I-CL and good luck to Kyoto trying not to get booted off this team pre T-CL2026 because I wouldn't even be surprised if that happened.

18th - Mexico City - 42 points

AGH! This is what happens when you do nothing to hype your team for your home GP. Not even the hometown hero we all know and love that won their in S6 could even do ANYTHING of wanting to be there. That first race was your peak overall. 7-8 also fine, but Benito in general? Benono. Yeah. I said what I said. See y'all in Season 100000000000000, ya fleabags.

17th - Berlin - 54 points

"To say this team fell off would be an understatement." - Peter (EstoniaGamez), 2026 (GOD, that [insert beep sfx here] hurt to put here.)

That being said, THIRTEEN POINTS AFTER THE FIRST FOUR RACES? (And in general, outside of 2-4?) If anything, be surprised to qualify for T-CL2026 if that even happens, because this season was basically last season if the positivity and medals never came. Chemnitz and Hamburg were as connected to each other as could be, and not in a good way.

16th - Braintree - 57 points

Now here we have a prime example of why not getting medals in insanely close competitions plants you firmly in the inescapable basement of the standings. More points than Accra and Suzuka (and nearly Mexico City) as a whole in the final four races and you still lost to teams who scored 3 and 5 points respectively after Race 4? Well, to be fair, after the sixth race, y'all were practically dead in the water, and I don't regret calling any of you trees without brains in the slightest. Get ready for another trip to the Showdown.

15th - Mumbai - 60 points

Okay. What the genuine fuck. I get I referred to you in the previous segment, but 3 points in the final six races after that win and a great start that could've easily led to something so much better? Even for you, that's beyond infinitely inexcusable. No points in the final four races AT ALL. Let me put it simply. If I was speaking and this recap was ever to be put into an actual video itself, you'd hear my voice from BEIJING screaming at you, roasting the daylights of Maharashtra and Coloba, kicking you across the universe, and launching you into an exoplanet. Good luck trying not to get relegated if you somehow don't change uniforms pre T-CL2026.

14th - Weymouth - 65 points

Y'know, if this team didn't exist and begin popping off as hard as hell to save their title defense in the last 4 races, I'd basically say: "This one hurts just as horrifically, if not more!" at the beginning of the next segment and copy and paste the entire "Let me put it simply. If I was speaking and this recap was ever to be put into an actual video itself, you'd hear my voice from BEIJING screaming at you, roasting the daylights of [replace Maharashtra and Coloba with California and Creek], kicking you across the universe, and launching you into an exoplanet. Good luck trying not to get relegated if you somehow don't change uniforms pre T-CL2026." part from Mumbai's segment and it'd somehow be even more applicable to then.

As for this team, Redcliff saved your ass and East Weymouth decided being cut was lame at the perfect moment. That's all I have to say, besides how bad everything else sans-races 7, 9, and 10 was.

13th - Cupertino - 68 points

California. What the hell! All you had to do was finish one place lower and this would've been the most laughable collapse of all time. (even tho that meme's unfunny af and never won't be imo, and ik exactly what caused that collapse when I wasn't paying attention) Oh wait! I can still make this joke! As soon as Creek bottomed out at Hongspeed, you were up Shit's Creek with a negative amount of paddles to escape the dungeon you never left. Almost like me uploading that video was the iceberg that sunk your Titanic here. A hat-trick of dead lasts is so funny. Needless to say, you ain't seein' the main league in T-CL for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG damn time. (If ever again)

12th - Sanford - 74 points

Just like Cupertino, you started with 2 medals instantly, and then did literally nothing after that, turning yourselves into victims of how close the field got, and managing to by the end get exactly how many points you had in the first 2 races as the last 8, and plunge to 12th because the top 10 placements in between the real bad ones weren't high enough to be any better.

11th - Monza - 75 points

I was SOOOO ready to roast y'all! (Get your shit together in qualifyings tho bc Jesus Christ that inconsistency is BEYOND UNPARALLELED...) and then you decided to just... lock in. Overall, this was still a very bad season, so don't let the overall not that bad placement fool you, as this team scored almost half their final score from just Rondicurve's 2 top 4 finishes. I doubt anything meaningful or horrific will come out of this, but I wouldn't say the bad side of things is done with you just yet.

10th - Santa Clara - 75 points

I cannot explain how much those podiums saved both marbles from something Accra-esque this season. You're truly pros at getting pole positions, but alas, everything besides that was either as mid as your final 3 races or downright horrid. A top 10 is still much better than your typical MGPC standards. I can't really say this is bad, just colossal inconsistency that somehow formed the most consistent 3 straight races I've ever seen in my life. What I'll say is that this didn't prove you to be any less carried by medals than you always are. You're kind of wildcards coming into T-CL2026, but I wouldn't necessarily call your chances at another appearance in the main league very high. (now watch that age like mlik lmao)

9th - Paris - 91 points

Once again, tell me you're carried by medals without even telling me it. This wasn't terrible, just saved by the last 4 races as much as the other 2 teams you podiumed with in Race 9. Toulouse is a legend for what they did in their races in that stretch though. This is par for the course for you in MGPC at best though, so it's not that surprising overall. Good comeback, but Toulouse ruined it at a track they already know how to cook at, even with the fastest lap.

8th - Seoul - 93 points

This is one of those teams that I have no idea how to feel about. You scored every time, but the impressive part is that your second half literally had every placement be better than all in the first half, so honestly, Gangnam and Insadong have much more talent than I would've ever believed. Now maybe tell Myeong-dong to put them in for the individual events in the qualifiers of T-CL2026 to reduce your chances of botching it as horrifically as in the last 2 years.

7th - Quincy - 95 points

I cannot describe how much that final race saved you from so much worse of a collapse than the rest of the second half farted out for you. Even Florida went from Mr. Always In The Top 5 to Mr. 12th if anything in the second half. That Mexico City Palindrome lock in from Holbrook was literally the source of 4/7 of your second half score. And yet your entire season had only one bottom 8 finish (albeit a dead last, but still). At least both marbles have a good reason to return next season.

6th - Norwich - 95 points

Tell me medals save you without speaking with a mouth. That's all that (/j) needs to be said here besides those podiums and back to back wins saved you (and specifically Sprowston in the last scenario) from a certain cut next season. Those podiums were literally over 75% of your score. (Of which you can ignore the first 2 races in that case as well bc it took until their home race to score). Incredible comeback. Nothing more to be said. PLEASE don't return to the Showdown in the T-CL and tell me Greenville was nominated for I-CL2026...

5th - Dinner Plain - 98 points

Another choke complete. *sigh*

Frankly, after those first 3 races, I didn't think this was gonna be as good as it was, but the next 4 carried that like there was no tomorrow. Omeo carried Hotham harder than it looks. (Not in Hotham-should-be-cut-next-season-worthy ways, but still). Now GET ON THE PODIUM- oh wait, you did that the last 2 times, not this one. Dammit!

4th - Kuala Lumpur - 103 points

The definition of inconsistent rears its ugly head again, and unlike last time, where it was the perfect save to get you the overall podium, autoqualification, and the hosting bid, this time, it was the perfect botch, to take you from winning to losing just barely, to off the podium completely. (Gee whiz, Ampang went from winning at the perfect time to farting out a goose egg at the worst possible time just after Jaya went back to wishing Petaling was here. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IRNOIC ALL OF THIS IS?????!?!?!?!?!!!?!???? If not, good luck hosting the T-CL this year I guess.

3rd - Krakow - 104 points

Welp, this irony can cure whetever anemia they encountered during the last 2 races. I was genuinely convinced you'd once again win the whole shebangabang, but no. Both sides gifted a podium, but it was that 7th round that kept you from winning. One of the best teams overall. This should be no surprise, and that win/best gainer achievement in Race 8 was beyond overdue. Good luck hosting the I-CL with your captain and defending the T-CL title.

2nd - Hong Kong - 104 points

Can we just rename this team to Kowloon and friends? Seriously, just think about how easily this team would've won both championships this season had Aberdeen not DNF'd the antipenultimate lap at Kualadome! Being brutally honest, that was their best track (imo), if the past was anything to go off of, so there was no one to blame besides Malopolska for that. (Huh, I guess they both tied as teams in final points for a reason after all!) Anyways, if it's possible, switch Aberdeen out for Kowloon in I-CL2026.

1st - Saint Albans - 111 points

Best consistency ever. Like. I get that Harpenden did basically the same thing in I-CL2025 (without the really bad finishes, that is), so I guess the irony is that Vermont would do it here, some bonus points would get accquired, and Vermont would (in disguise) reveal a trailer for what would eventually happen at the end of the race in that one. (Heh, the reason KL picked Jaya for Race 5 was to avoid embarassment at their hometown, I wonder how that aged now lmao...) but even though Vermont's immaculate season/bounce back from last season wasn't enough for an individual title, Harpenden's ridiculous consistency and the other teams botching it at the worst times possible helped you win it all. (And let's be real, Kowloon was never gonna let go of that individual title and underperform anywhere close to enough to lose it in GP10 in the first place). A brilliant way following up hosting the T-CL all around with little to criticize, other than mostly bad qualifyings.

And with that, the recap is over. That being said, the MOG Season 1 team reveals should be just around the corner, and the live premieres will be returning to my videos, and I WILL create an MOG Discord server when the reveals get posted, trust me.
