I watched the video.
I find it pretty interesting and I think it's just entertaining.
I actually can't believe Chinese coaches use Matty's solves to coach Yiheng.

3 hours of day of practice... yeah that was interesting about relying on Matty's know how....

It seems almost impossible that he could achieve his skill with 2-3 hours per day of practice 'after school.' I cannot possibly believe that Xuanyi Geng mastered ZB at age 7-8 with 2-3h/day of practice, and Tymon (if I'm not mistaken) says he practices for 8 hours per day at least, which seems more realistic. However, reaching sub-10, 4 months after learning OLL/PLL (as explained in the video), certainly shows immense natural talent, most people take over a year (in the best case), to reach that.

If giving Yiheng some benefit of the doubt... he never says how long it took him initially (weekends and all the other random times he practices)... so right now he practices 3 hours or so.... still serious commitment...

don’t agree with this. 2-3 hrs of deliberate practice is going to make you progress WAY faster than the normal cuber. He even says that he was coached even from when he just started cubing which means bad habits were probably immediately removed and good habits were drilled constantly.

Yiheng is just so cute and innocent yo!
