Overall favorite: Virginia Open Spring 2014. When I got my 18 second OH average (which was second place), it was one of the happiest moments of my life. Then they added a second round, and I was nervous cuz i thought i wouldn't get second place again. Then I got a 17 second average and 2nd place again. I was going absolutely crazy with joy XD Plus the comp was really fun.
Best results: Virginia Open Spring 2014

Most unexpected round advancement: Foon Yew open 2015. Definitely didn't expect to make the final.

And you ended up 3rd

I'm not really sure what my favourite comp was, but in terms of achievement it was definitely Singapore Open 2014. Broke my first AsR there
Taylor's Cube Open 2012 and 2013 were pretty fun as well, they bring back many memories :tu
Also the closest one to me was Melaka Open 2014, but that was because I organised it lol

 

[guysensei1]

And you ended up 3rd

Well after my less than stellar performance in the first round and a 13.xx solve for the first solve in the second, I really wasn't optimistic about making finals.
