[WR] Marcin Zalewski Blindfolded 23.80 (Polish Nationals)

[Zane_C]

Yay! Extraordinary time

 

[Konsta]

Nicely polished WR Can't believe BLD WR is this fast. I guess it'll be sub20 one day..?

Nicely polished WR

LOL NISE PUN

notbad solve too

 

[Skullush]

PROland
Worlds will be very interesting

 

[Alejandro]

Congratulations!

 

[MaikeruKonare]

I'm...so amazed... It takes me 4 and a half minutes still...

It sounds a bit suspicious,
1. How did he know that he got a WR before taking the BLDfold off
2. The time was only visible when it was stopped

1. He solves probably 100+ 3BLD a day resulting in him knowing how fast solves are just like any 2H solver knows roughly how fast without looking at the timer.
2. He knocked over 3 secs off his own record. Is that not in itself reason to celebrate if you're 2nd in the world, even if not sub WR? Can you not tell a 3 sec difference in your 3x3 times?

Of yeah, awesome solve.

I think if you've done blindsolves thousands of times, he would know if the time was sub-WR
Also done by a guy who was previously ranked 2nd in the world. So nothing suspicious at all

Possible fake :
Knows cube is solved + World Record before taking blindfold off (Counts in his head?)
Big reaction from onlookers, as competitors keep analyzing it.

BUt if its real. Coneffinggratultions.

This point has been raised and then explained a few times already. Some BLD people know straight away if a scramble is easy/feels fast. And to be honest, he probably didn't know 100% that it was WR.

Suggests nothing. Poland comps usually have a lot of onlookers generous to give out congrats when it's deserved.

What is wrong with you people?

He couldn't and didn't know. Why do you claim he did? Even if it *were* fake, he couldn't know. Plus, did he shout "world record"? No. For all we know, he thought it was a good time (and that it was solved).

 

[BaconCuber]

Man that reaction was kind of... Well... Over the top, I guess you could say, but I understand why. Amazing solve.

 

[Goosly]

People always complain when someone gets a WR and doesn't react enthusiastic, now we get an awesome reaction and people complain again... I don't get it. :confused:

The faster the time/normal average the easier you can tell the difference, for example; if your 2x2 average is about 4 seconds, you shoud be able to tell a 3 second difference, but on a 7x7 it's impossible to tell a 3 second difference.

What is the point you are trying to make?
It was only 24 secs.

Edit - these 'conspiracy theory' ideas are getting boring.
The 2nd fastest 3BLD solver in the world breaking the world record on camera is not analogous to a ~18 sec solver breaking the 3x3 WR not on camera!

 

[Hays]

The real thing to notice is that 23.80/27.15(his old best time) = 87.66%. This is a huge difference.

To put it in my terms, if I were to get a solve 87.66% of my old best 6x6 time (1:49.49 * 87.66% = 1:35.95), I would definitely not need to look at the timer to tell that it was a world record solve.

Also congrats to Marcin; this is very impressive.

1. You're 100% wrong. It's really easy to tell how fast a BLD time is if you're experienced.

2. You fake BLD solves.

3. This is yet more proof that all of your claims of BLD solves are fake.

Hamlin,
I bet you got a Syndrome " Calls : " Perry Open 2013 Syndrome " ( I can't remember Perry or Perri sorry)

I just saw your wca profile, if you compete in Poland, I bet they gonna kick your butt at the Fist round

Before you complain about this AMAZING World Record, please check his wca profile. Remember There is NO Perry Open 2013 Syndrome in Poland!

Congrats Poland!

 

[DrKorbin]

Lol how is it possible to do sub-29 and get only the 3rd place?
Congrats to Marcin(s)!
