Just a comment to share my joy of having done my first real 3BLD solve, with the method described above for Corners, and Eka corners:
U R2 U' L2 F' D2 B D' B' U2 R U2 L U2 L B2 R' F2
- Corners : OX VE BF GB
- Edges : DS NP MA HG UV FA
5:23 with 3mn for memo

Hi Abhijeet,
here is a link to a translation of the russian site I mentioned: https://twistypuzzles-ru.translate.goog/forum/index.php?topic=994.0&_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=fr&_x_tr_hl=fr
Here is an extract:
For information, I also went back to the greatest post ever about...

Hi guys,
just documenting here my progression on "transition-method" 3BLD.
So after trying Eka Edges (UF buffer, UR helper) + Eka (Orozco + doing Bx alg) for a bit, I'm trying to do some Eka-Corner stuff, adapting the idea (UBL (A) buffer, FRD (K)...
I certainly can relate!
I've just tried a bit 3BLD for fun (only a few completed solves, ie. no DNF) and tried OP/OP, which was good and probably fast enough, but it was a bit "braindead". So learnt M2 for the edges, which was indeed more fun, and faster. Then I found the post by dudefaceguy...
Hi! I suggest you take a look at the intuitive method proposed by dudefaceguy, very cool I think!

Hello THE_V01DL0RD, I think that this method has been proposed several times in the past already. And as far as I can remember it is not considered a good method, but I will let others explain why as I can't.
Just wanted to point out that more than 30 moves for the 2nd block in you example is...
Not sure if you were asking me :) but anyway I just made quite some solves with both Gan 12 and 13, both are really excellent, but the feeling is a bit different. Gan 13 seems a little bit faster, Gan 12 seems a bit "smoother".
Hi, I have all three, Gan 12 is definitely my favorite (UV coated), Gan 13 is not that good for some reason but still a very good cube of course. Oh, and Gan 11 is excellent as well.
Hi!
Well I guess that this is linked with the different methods used for the 4c stage: BU or DF/DB (this last one being the preferred one amongst the top Roux solvers). Regarding the DF/DB one, you could check GodCubing's video (fast-paced):
or Richard Peng's one (slow-paced):
