World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

[scotzbhoy]

Many congratulations to Felik's, a thoroughly deserved title, but I feel so sorry for Mats. To come so close and lose out on a +2 (and a pretty close one at that) seems like the worst way to lose out on a title which he too would have wholeheartedly deserved.

Thanks to everyone who worked on that stream! You guys did a great job(although stream 2 going off seconds before the finals gave me a heart attack).
Thanks to all the people who organized the event, including those I'm good friends with
Also, big shoutout to Ishmam for popping his 7x7 on stream with my entire house of "friends who couldn't go to Worlds" watching ;D

What about Halczuk's 7x7 rage? xD

I want to see the view of the camera that's right on faz's table. It was there for the whole final, I saw it on the live stream.

Here's an unlisted version of the raw footage of the first four solves. I'll have a trimmed version at some point.

Massive thanks to Chris and Austin for running the live stream all weekend, I know we in the chat probably ruined the experience for you but it was excellent to watch and talk to other cubers, albeit about BS half the time. You did a great job in the finals especially considering that we could see each solve with poor quality cameras.

Thanks so much! I don't think people realized how crazy difficult it was to run this thing, especially when the room is packed with ~600 people, crappy internet, and last-minute materials. We really did try our hardest with what we had. I think people need to realize that we both still had to compete and everything, so we couldn't be on the camera all the time. However, I am very happy the second half of the 3x3 finals went with few hitches.

Special thanks to Tyson for dealing with us and everything. I know it was a bit chaotic, but I think it turned out fine.

You did a great job, I was very happy to be able to watch the championship. And I'm sorry you had to deal with all those annoying guys from Mexico and their Martin jokes. Sometimes I'm really ashamed of my country...

DYK...

Brest temporarily deleted the Worlds thread by accident.
Oedipus Complex is kid tested; mother approved.
I made $40 off a drunk guy for solving a cube.
I'm Brest's second favorite female cuber.
In the middle of Faz vs Mats final, someone started whistling the theme to "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."
Tyson's voice crack during the awards ceremony was the best thing ever.
There are a lot of things you can do with escalators and a cube.
Skewb was the best unofficial event to never happen.
Xu won feet.

That's all I have for now. I'm really too tired to come up with better ones.
