Now i hate to say this but it's physically impossible to get a 25 TPS T perm with that many lockups. Not only that, but Cube for speed "plsed" HKQ8's execution that HKQ8 specifically was telling people not to use.


This is what happened in the middle of his T perm exec, clearly showing the huge lockup

what is more suspicious to me is that at the final execution the camera shakes a lot and focuses and unfocuses extremely quickly which is indicative of sped up footage.
anyone found this guy's wca profile yet?

According to his instagram username his name is "Lee Ming Kit" however when i look that up an WCA no results pop up. So either "Lee Ming Kit" is a fake name or he's never competed.

Is that Cube For speed's earnings?
Those numbers are notoriously unreliable so I wouldn't put any value in them. I've known much bigger channels that only have made a few dollars.

oh yeah I saw the instagram name too. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt because if the name does not sound Chinese and China and Australia are the only places that have had comps in the past year.

This is a suspicion I've been having for a while, but I never brought it up. It regards Cube for Speed's channel and his videos.

His alg/solve videos seem sped up to me, because he moves very choppily, yet is still fast. The speedstacks timer could possibly be hacked to run slower. Here is an example of one of his videos that I suspect is sped up.

The claps at the end clearly gave it away lol
