    The problem with that logic is that the winners of 2BLD would likely be people who can one look it with EG.
    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.

    Is that a problem at all? Usually the winners of 2x2 in any competition use EG or CLL of some sort.

    I was talking about what he said about people learning to blindsolve and starting on the 2x2.

    They don't have to win. Using a BLD method on 2x2 is fine. Just the fastest are going to win. Like every other event (except FMC).

    but if you think about it,
    when you get rid of 2x2 that leaves so many people who have been practicing 2x2 for so many years (like Cameron).
    You just leave them with years of practice for nothing.

    Saem argument can be applied to magics and feet solving, yet some people want them to be removed.
    Let's get to the topic.

    Team BLD has more potential than this IMO, even though Cameron's 2x2 BLD averages were interesting.

    No, because judging for people who only take a couple of seconds to memorize would be difficult.
