Hi everyone,

does anyone know what happen in the clash. I wanted to watch it, but couldn't find any stream nor I can find any video or result or anything. Anybody has some info to share?

All I know is that Yiheng won. Apparently it took all nine sets, so it was a close match.

Hopefully a video will be released… I was surprised , seems sections to the theatre (including VIP tix) were sold out….

thank you,

It is a pitty we could not see it. I think this kind of matches will be much more interesting. Now we are hoping for WR every now and then but everytime will be more difficult to have one. The mental battle is also important like in Tennis and perhaps even more interesting.

Just finished watching it, and Tymon's consistency is super impressive! It definitely gave him the upper hand on Yiheng, but ultimately Yiheng's speed was able to pull ahead. Hopefully Tymon can improve on his ZB in the following months until World's, since I would love to see him win!

I watched the whole thing because it was super mesmerizing. Yiheng’s F2L TPS is probably the most satisfying things on this planet. Tymon’s ZB recon was at a shocking speed, it’s insane how much faster his recon has been improving over the past 4 years. They both definitely struggled with nerves you could see, but I’d say Yiheng more so. Yiheng got 2 corner twists in the match which is a lot considering how many solves took place. It’s pretty cool watching two solvers with completely different solving styles compete. I can’t wait to watch and meet both of them at Worlds.

I actually thought Yiheng would crush Tymon, but I was wrong. Yiheng was clearly struggling with nerves more than Tymon, which makes me think that maybe Yiheng might lose Worlds again.

I still think YiHeng has the upper hand in Worlds but there is a very good chance someone beats him.

I expect Yiheng to win worlds, but I won't be suprised if he doesn't

let’s hope he’s consistent enough
