[WR] Brandon Lin - 9.90 Square-1 Average, [NAR] 7.37 Single

[Matt11111]

I need to get a QiYi Square-1. My goodness, so many NARs with it.

(∀x)[(x is a squan ∧ ~(x is a QiYi squan)) ⇒ x <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< QiYi squan]

translation: QiYi squan is best squan

I think that the QiYi will let people continue to drop times. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a sub-9 squan avg and sub-6 single by the end of the year. Wow.

Congrats Brandon.

Also Jabari reaction was the best part of the single video.

So you're saying that by the end of the year, Squan will be nearly as fast as 3x3?

Why not? Sub9 average is just a matter of time. I wouldn't be so sure about that sub6 single though

well faz has several sub7 averages on 3x3, and sub6 singles aren't even rare anymore. Heck, we even have a sub5 now. I wouldn't say "nearly as fast" but the WRs will definitely drop.

Round 3 of Square-1 was an accident in scheduling.

Oh well, seems like it worked out.

seriously someone do an unofficial comp with 8 rounds of squan and 1 round of 3x3
or an official comp with 4 rounds of squan and no 3x3

Who says the WCA won't approve the Big Apple Squancomp?

Not that I do Square-1, like ever.
