you said you are in skewb, but top 100 for average is well below sub-3 average

 

[ProStar]

I suppose this completely depends on how you define “professional”, but I don’t agree with a few of these barriers, especially Clock, MBLD, BLD, and 2x2

"Professional" doesnt necessarily mean to be world class.
As for Clock, MBLD, BLD, and 2x2, what do you think are suposed to be the professional barriers?

"Professional" doesnt necessarily mean to be world class.

How are you defining professional then?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

How are you defining professional then?

Just my personal thoughts, but I believe being "professional" in a event means that you are decent enough in that particular event where you can possibly podiums in local comps
It might be more precise to describe it as "mental barriers" I guess...

 

[cuberswoop]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a professional was someone who could make a living from their profession.

I've heard a couple other definitions, but the one I think applies most here is that a professional is anyone with 10,000 hours of experience in something. This thread strikes me as different from the 'how fast do you need to be world class thread' (paraphrase), but I think you could probably use similar times for this.

I’m just to dumb to learn algorithms and too slow to be on the mental barrier list.

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but I still don't understand what the question is.

There is no question. It’s his thoughts on the mental barriers for each event.

I think clock could probably be like sub 8 or something faster.

2x2 has to be sub-2.5 atleast

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

2x2 has to be sub-2.5 atleast

@NigelTheCuber at what level do you think at least CLL would be necessary to reach?

You can choose multiple answerss

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

You can choose multiple answerss

You have none of the mental barrier requirements.
