He's finally getting averages he might get at home!

Awesome to see. Congrats and keep pushing the limits.

And we thought the old record would last years.

 

[CornerCutter]

He is amazing! Awesome job!

This is actually crazy. I can't believe we are actually swing sub-6 AVERAGES in competition...

Seriously. It's crazy to think someday soon we might see a podium that's sub-18. A sub 5 average is a matter of time and motivation. It seems like motivation to keep breaking records is high these days.

Also, a 3 second gap in average between 1st and second. Feliks could've had a counting 15.25 and still would've won.

Congrats to Feliks! He keeps pushing the barrier of what is possible! Soon we might see sub-6 as a regular thing. Crazy how far these records can go! Big congrats to Feliks! Hopefully he can keep that record for a long time!

DAMN DANIEL.

Well that happened. I'm assuming the 5.28 is the fastest counting official solve on record. (can't remember the times of the 5.97)

Nice 9 at the end

Yeah, I'm assuming too. The highest counting for the 5.97 was 5.64.

Drew had the fastest before, I think it was 5.55

 

[applezfall]

Drew had the fastest before, I think it was 5.54

 

[Mellis Ferton]

Was it 5.54 or 5.55?

 

[applezfall]

Was it 5.54 or 5.55?

5.54

 

[Mellis Ferton]

5.54

Thanks. Waiting for the first sub-5 counting.

Seriously. It's crazy to think someday soon we might see a podium that's sub-18.

Hold your horses, we still haven't seen a sub-21 podium. For now one person has achieved 2 sub-6 averages, but to have 3 people do it in the same final round is a completely different thing. Top cubers coincide only in very few competitions per year and they also seem to perform much worse in those competitions because of nerves. So unless by "soon" you mean in 10 years, I find it very unlikely.
