Caleb Valenzuela,Cuber2s, maruc00lestkid, and BVCuber13 race to sub-6.5 glow ball and sub-7 official average

[Cuber2s]

this thread is dead
does nobody have news?
I have good news and bad news
the bad news is that i won’t be going to the Philippine Championship 2026
the good news is that i’ll be traveling to a classified destination for the first time (instead of PhilChamps)
and the other good news is that if there’s a competition in Manila in around June/July, i might be able to go

I just haven't competed recently
But i do got a comp in a week and a half, and then western champs the week after.

2x2 right?

 

[Jared Burkhart]

2x2 right?

Yes. It is 2x2. Caleb said I could join even though the thread wad dead. I wanted to enter with 2x2 because I needed the motive to break away from the big ones, but lol I think I submitted my times to the wrong thread sorry!

 

[maruc00lestkid]

So if anybody's been keeping track, you'll have noticed that my 3x3 times are getting just a bit good

Yeah... I got four sub-7 averages in a row somehow. I could maybe release recons for some of the solves if y'all want me to. I already made one for the 4.84 here.

I had a comp yesterday, and it was ok.

I got 2nd in 3x3 with a 7.78 average, which was a pretty good performance. Next week I have western championships which gives me another 3 rounds of 3x3.

what GAN is that

 

[maruc00lestkid]

what GAN is that

It's either the GAN 11 or 12, I never bothered to check (it was given to me as a gift for my 12th birthday). It still holds up surprisingly well today, even after 4 years of use.

Also, thanks for my 100th RS point! =D
