Euro Championships Registration Controversy

[JDAW6]

@mayernikmatt just made a video about the situation and to prove his point he insults an Indian and a SA cuber by calling them “mediocre”. Stop watching this crap and go learn some algs.

I agree with the goal of the video but he picked on random people for no reason. The South African solver has good clock times and the Indian solver is ranked 97th in the world. Not really "Mediocre".

My thoughts exactly. He proved a point that didnt need proving and he did it in an unnecessary and demotivating way.

Edit: a controversy in a controversy? Thats like 2 controversies! - Not Deadpool

No way a guy who isn't sub 30 on skewb is calling these people mediocre.

Yay now Mathew Mayernik can stop calling cubers that are better than him mediocre.

He edited that part after everybody was mad in the comments, but he shouldn't have added it in the first place

I had noticed and I chose to register! (Regretted not registrating a day after the registration opened)

It is now the largest competition ever! NAC this year will definitely contend that.

I'm pretty sure Nats & Worlds had 1600

That was their competitor limit, but Worlds had 1187 people, and Euros has more. US Nats had 1090.

Oh I didn't realize that, we'll probably see some people cancel though.

I have no issue with championships reserving spots for top competitors. You have to qualify anyway so it's not completely open, like to someone who didn't meet the cutoff time. And there are many other comps for everyone in Europe.
