Corner Dented on Aofu GTS M, is cube still legal?

[weatherman223]

Hey, my Aofu GTS M dropped on the corner piece, causing the corner to dent. The only regulation I could really find was 3j, but since the dent was on a corner it shouldn’t distinguish it in any way from other pieces because it’s the only red blue white corner on the cube.

Is the cube still legal, or will I have to get a replacement piece?

I'm not a delegate but I'd say that's illegal. It absolutely distinguishes it from other "similar" pieces. You can clearly tell by feel exactly which corner that one is.

It depends on the delegate. Some delegates will allow it under reasonable wear and others won't

I agree with what my man Carter said

That kind of wear is fairly common with QiYi big cubes, and in many cases I allow it because it's really no worse than what is allowable for sticker wear, but this appears to have deformed the entire piece beyond just a visual deformity. I wouldn't accept that cube.

Thanks for the input Kit. I’ll go ahead and order a replacement piece for the corner before my next comp, just to be safe.
