Ehhh.. this is anything but bs. Looked on his profile and honestly it gets even more suspicious. I do not do FMC so I’m definitely not the best person here but from what I can comprehend this looks really odd.
Firstly, he did fmc for the first time in 2022, and got a 47, which can be done consistently with just niss + cfop, and as late as September last year had a pr of 36. If you look at the profiles of most top fmcers they have been consistently sub-30 for a number of years so for him to just spawn out of relative obscurity is weird at best.
From what people mentioned about his postings on various servers, I think you can’t really call him a seasoned competitor at this event. Interesting that he had only just become a delegate, since there was a case from 2011 where a Chilean delegate manipulated clock scrambles to get wr (ofc clock isn’t important whatsoever but i will simply use as an example).
Also with the exception of pbq this guy kinda sucks at cubing in general, (not trying to be rude, but when have you ever seen somebody with an fmc wr who averages like 20 in 3x3 it is strange, and I don’t even care if I’m rude at this point I’m this sure he is a fraud). I think this record will be annulled and will be surprised beyond question if it’s upheld. But hey the wca wrongly gave yiheng his 0.92 wr so who knows?
