When Corny did his 7.96 solve, I thought somewhere around F2L: "This could be a really fast time if he had a, OMGOMGOMG PLL SKIP!!"

Awesome competition btw, can't wait for all of the videos.

It was cool meeting Ayano Yoshida and seeing some old friends like Rama again. Also happy with 26 FMC Cudos to Corny.
New cube bought: Latch cube, a really cool cube. Took me like 45 mins to solve on Saturday, will make a vid soon! (of sub-10 mins hopefully ^^)

Personally I like the DCD at Eindhoven a bit more to be honest, thought we got a bit less for the €20 than other editions too.

[Martijn]

I love the top down view, nice idea !
Oh.. and nice solve, congrats!

 

[Wickex]

I pretty much screwed up bigtime.

3x3: 40.53 1:17.93 1:06.50 38.40 28.08
I haven't had a 1:00+ solve for over a month and now I get 2, 1 because of screwing up Y perm and the other one something similar.

4x4: 3:50.16 4:04.15 5:48.84 3:16.41 2:46.30
5:48 is my worst solve ever. I did something wrong while doing OLL parity and had to start literally all over.
4:04 is also pretty bad, I had 2 pops, 1 after I finally put the piece back in.

Bad start for my WCA profile

Oops I lied, it was only two 8s and a 9 and it was in the second round!

I had a great time with (what seems more and more like) my family last weekend.

 

[MagicYio]

It was my first competition, and it was awesome! Can't wait for the nationals

 

[Yes We Can!]

Cool competition, second comp for me in a foreign country (both in a row ). Finally got the German single 3x3 record back (8.56 2nd round, but that was broken by Max with 8.22 5 minutes later ). I also got a 9.68 avg (NR and 3rd in the world!!!) in that round with a counting 8 , but I was still a little upset that I lost my single NR again... In the finals I did quite badly on the first 3 solves (11,11,15), then I put some lube into the cube (thanks Fabi ). The next solve was a 10.65, which is decent. Then the final solve of the entire competition: Pretty fast cross, NO lookahead during F2L, an awkward shape OLL (Antisune+FRUR'U'F') and PLL SKIP(!!!), I had a very fast recognition because I already thought I might get a skip or a U-Perm. For half a second I was stunned and then I realized that it said 7.96 on the timer! :O Amazing moment, I am so happy! 10th in the world and NR! My average was 11.39 which gave me second place My best place ever in a competition.
Other good results: 20 second OH average 3rd place, 1:24 BLD solve 2nd place, 2x2 3.28 avg 2nd place and Magic 1.13 avg with sub-1 single after 6 months of not practicing, 1st place I also got a 20.41 single with Square-1 which is very, very good for me. And Sébastien taught me how to efficiently solve a clock Thanks!
All in all a nice competition and definitely an awesome weekend. Also, thanks to Maarten and his family for the accomodation. noo *finger*
