Yes. Maybe they are giving the opportunity for WC qualification.

I did my 2nd int. competition today. Lots of PB's. very satisfied considering I had only 4 hours of sleep and waking up at 6A.M to catch early morning 3BLd. No success in blind today, I was so sleepy that didn't need the blinds. But 5x5 PB with no rehearsal and great PB 1:07 single 4x4. The magnets and spring mod in Wuque are amazing.

What mods did you do to your Wuque?

I could barely get a 3BLD solve last week but I've just done 4 solves at lunch. First was the first time I've used full corner comms. It was sub 2 despite fixing edge errors and only a DNF due to using wrong orientation when twisting the last corner. Followed this with a Mo3 of 1:52.61 (no comms) which is pretty decent for me. Shame my break ended.

Nice progress

Changed the springs to thunderclap, but added a washer because the springs are to short. This combination with magnets is incredible. Perfect balance.

The last few weeks I've been using the Valk exclusively. Today I tried again the MoJue M3 and with my first 150 solves I broke all pb averages Ao5-Ao100. The most significant was Ao12 down to 18.08! Somehow it seems that whenever I switch cubes, I improve. Maybe I'll just have to keep switching back and forth every week.

Nice!! I sometimes have the same feeling, that changing cubes can be beneficial and I like to change mains (at least temporarily) every now and then. I think it makes you concentrate again in turning accurately as you are not as used to the new cube and that maybe is the reason why you improve your times?

Yeah, probably something like that. The new feeling of a slightly unfamiliar cube keeps me on the edge.
Before switching to the MoJue I had a couple of really bad sessions with the Valk (Ao100 >21.50). For the first time in a while I had Ao100s go way above the rolling Ao1000 in csTimer, which currently stands at about 20.90. This is a sign that progress has slowed down even further... This always happens when I close in on a big milestone. At least it feels this way. Took me forever to get a sub-30 Ao100, but when I finally got it, times quickly dropped a few seconds more. Same with sub-25 and now it's again slowing down when I approach sub-20. Probably something to do with nerves.

And now I managed to break the remaining pb with the MoJue as well! Last pb single was 12.99 from last week.

My my anticipated package arrived yesterday with 2 Moyu GTS V2's Decided to get a black and a stickerless. All my cubes are black except for 1 YeuXiao which I don't like using as the green and yellow shades are difficult for me to tell apart so I end up struggling with it.
The stickerless GTS V2 is awesome. The shades are great and I don't have issues with colour clashes. I have put magnets is it as the GTS v2 is a little unstable out the box. The magnets make this a super stable cube now. I used N38 5x1.5mm magnets. While the pull force is a little more than I'm used to with my other M mods I do like the feeling. I will definitely be putting magnets into the black one, I'm still trying to decide if I should go with the same or weaker magnets.
The black does feel different to the stickerless out the box. Almost quicker and little more unstable. That could just be tensioning. With magnets this will be a great cube.
Did a quick ao12 with the stickerless ... not my best, but very consistent

I've just checked and that session contained decent PBs. The Ao50 was by 0.55s and Ao100 was by 0.51s
Recent practice seems to be paying off at last!

So after staying away from stickerless for ... forever really .. I may actually be swayed now. I've been using the stickerless GTS2 these last 2 days and it is awesome. I though I would struggle a bit with the colour recognition after struggling with my stickerless YeuXiao but the shades are great and contrast nicely.
I've been getting much more consistent times with it as apposed to my normal black cubes which between them have different shades. I did 130 times solves yesterday with an all-time high of sub 15's ... 20 in total. Including a 10 (pll skip) and 2 11's which were both full-step. I'm quite impressed with the GTS2, it's a great cube. I'm also equally impressed at the consistent times I seem to get with it.
