This is his 42th WR and surprisingly his second WR in 3x3. This was his 103rd competition and he updated his 3x3 avg PR by 0.12 seconds. His home PB is much faster than this though.
Congrats Max! Boom baby!

Not surprised at all! Congrats to him

I have a feeling that this record will be broken soon. Congrats to Max though!

 

[any name you wish]

This is so exciting! After the fourth solve, he was guaranteed to get a 5.57 NAR Average or better, and then he pulled out this. Crazy.

This is his second ever 3x3 world record.

I'm not surprised by the average but I am surprised by the record. I didn't know he had a comp.

Hey, world record announcements are my job!

Congratulations to Max, incredibly well deserved.

Incredible. Can't wait for the video

 

[Scollier]

This is insane! Congrats to him!!

 

[Cuberstache]

Well-deserved for sure. Based on his YouTube channel, his is definitely the fastest 3x3 solver in the world right now. He can absolutely improve this.

Looks like the new WR is the first pure sub-6 average, too.

@abunickabhi you didn't even wait until the comp was over before posting?

I knew something felt incomplete. This is what I would expect!
