It was, and it will be in the future. Present reality is merely a transcription error. Furthermore, "Best WCA Event" doesn't specify "current."

The WCA is also not holding competitions in many areas of the world right now.

I will concur with this, although I significantly prefer 5x5 as a big cube. OH is my personal second favorite event.

5x5 is a very close 3rd behind 6x6. I'm really not a fan of OH myself, I would rank it just above 2x2, Skewb, Pyraminx, and Clock, and just below Square-1.

I have 3x3 with Feet, OH, Megaminx, 3x3 as my top 4, typically in that order.
My next tier is typically 5x5, 3BLD, FMC, MBLD, and 4BLD, often in order as well. I definitely enjoy these events but I don't practice them much.

Beyond that, 5BLD, clock, skewb, square 1, 7x7, and 6x6 are in a sort of nebulous neutral, semi negative state.

2x2, pyraminx, and 4x4 occupy the zone where I actively dislike the events. See my favorite post on this forum, as seen in my signature.

Other than Feet (which, to be fair, I mostly like because it's the one event that I relatively don't suck at) 3x3 is too much alg, not enough intuition. All the blind events are things that I think are genuinely, objectively cool, and I want to be good at them, but I really suck at them. I think my ranking would be something like:

Feet
6x6
5x5
4x4
Megaminx
7x7
3x3

The rest of the events I really don't practice at all, but I would group them as:

Cool:
FMC
3BLD
4BLD
5BLD
MBLD
Square-1

Not cool:
2x2
Skewb
Pyraminx
Clock
OH

With a 6x6, you also have a 5x5, 4x4, 3x3, 2x2 and 1x1, sooooooo......

You also have a 7x7, if you count internal pieces...

However, my personal gauge of how good an event is based on how many hands are involved have, not how many puzzles it houses.
0 hands = perfect
1 hand = passable
2 hands = sadge
