He uses full eg as well as some of leg and tcll

 

[Puzzlerr]

where can I find the scrambles?
EDIT: What does LEG and TCLL do?

 

[cuberswoop]

LEG is where you hold the EG-1 bar on the left and do a LEG alg.
TCLL = Twisty CLL. A corner is twisted either way in its slot and you do an alg to solve the rest.

Do you know of a good link explaining these? If it isn't a problem. I will also try to google

Holy cow! Hard to keep up! but I love the way he methodically cycles through the faces looking for best one. First red, then yellow, then green, etc and he solves from each face in his head before he decides how to solve! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this video! Very helpful!

Yes, if you weren't aware top level 2x2ers pretty much always one-look solves, and Zayn's knowledge lets him choose between many options.

Thank you for that, I did not know that. Blind solving the 2by2 for these cats must be the exact same thing thin as solving regularly. No need for BH or things like that huh?

Normal solves are 15 seconds of inspection and ~1 sec solve while blind solve includes inspection. So you have incentive to not search very long for good solutions and just start turning based on quick pattern recognition immediately.
