With a stunning win over the Dream Team in a 2x2-7x7 relay(Chris Olsen(2x2), Mats Valk(3x3), Sebastian Weyer(4x4), Patrick Ponce(5x5), Feliks Zemdegs(6x6), Kevin Hays(7x7)) at US Nationals 2018, Max Park secured his status as the best cuber in the world.

Does this mark the end of the Feliks Era and usher in the Max Era? Post down below.

This is the best video covering the race.

for 6x6 either feliks or patrick
for 2x2... maybe maciej or rami

Uhh...Feliks has a 1:23 6x6 mean, Patrick has a 1:40. There's really only 3 people in the top bracket of big cubes right now, as evidenced by results from any comp recently.
And for 2x2, the point is that in the span of ~5 minutes, a couple hundreths of a second doesn't make a difference. Why not Will or Chris et cetera? It can be whoever.

im confused doesm't this only prove that he is better than the 7x7 guy? I'd asume he has more room to take a lead on the 6x6 and 7x7 than on all the other five combined.
For sure the guy is great and the video is great too but i don't think one is evidence of the other

Honestly I want to see just Max and Feliks race (same events, 2-7)... or has this already happened?

Well, Feliks cant cube forever, and as he gets older and busier, he will have less time to cube. The more time that passes by, the more like someone will overtake him. The same thing will eventually happen to Max, and whoever comes after him. Thats just how things work.

But busy with what?
Maybe Max may have a different path, but i cant imagine feliks doing anything else than cubing

Be more specific... Do you really know what he actually does besides cubing?

In one of interviews he said hes cubing only during competition. In the same interview he said:
"It's funny that few days after I've broken new WR in single by 9% someone said my era has ended." :)

It was translated into Polish so it's a translation of translation but the sense is the same.
