Location was very far from the most populated regions of Asia. It was in Astana in northern Kazakhstan. They had an incredible venue but so few competitors.

Although I don't blame you for not noticing, the last post was in August.

As of right now according to the schedule, it is Breakfast time which means 4BLD is over. I'm not at the venue yet but will be soon. My first event is 7x7 which starts at 4:10pm in Malaysia time (GMT +8).

 

[somecuber23]

Sadly can't attend because of work even though I live only like half an hour away from the venue. Good luck to all contestants!

 

[SYUTEO]

Soo it's MBLD rn and the organizers want us to evacuate the venue. Guess they don't want what happened in World's to happen again.

Btw I just got to the venue

Updates So Far:

4BLD: Kaijun Lin won, It was between Hill Pong and Kaijun but looking at Kaijun's profile his times are much more consistently fast so it makes sense he won.

5BLD: Hill Pong won by almost a minute, expected Kaijun DNF'ed tho

MBLD: 1/2 Attempts Done, Shivam Bansal has 36 points, solid lead. The only one who can likely beat him his Yucheng Chen but he needs to have a high success rate on the 2nd attempt.

FMC: 2/3 Attempts Done, Currently Yiwei Liu is winning but Wong Chen Wen needs a solid move count on the last scramble and needs to beat everyone else to win. (Really up to chance tho anything can happen)

7x7: Ziyu Wu NR avg, but anything can happen in Finals. 6 people got Sub-2 averages and Tymon is 9th You also needed a 2:21 average to make a top 20 finals

If someone could do updates too that would be great since I'll be away for 8 hours.

7x7 is over and it's now 6x6. I'm actually surprised Nahm isn't first in 7x7. As for my own results, I choked the second solve and got a 3:18 mo3, was hoping to get PR, I got a sub 3 while practicing earlier.

I'm competing so I can try to do updates, so far the only thing new is Timofei Tarasenko NR 6x6 single and average.

Only one attempt for MBLD

 

[SYUTEO]

Lim Hung, Kunal Oak and Tomohiro Kobayashi (小林知広) got NRs for their country. Currently Lim Hung is first followed by Tymon and Timofei. The results of many other people have not been uploaded yet. Right now, it is square-1. I don't have any more events so I'm preparing to go home now. I got PR single and average for 6x6 so I'm happy enough today.

2x2SkullMasterYT would approve of your use of skulls

Ziyu Wu got 1:05 6x6 Single

 

[cubenerd74]

I know the comp already started, but I'll still do some bets.

If Nahm gets a WR, I'll do 300 solves on that event before the year ends(please don't be 7x7).

If Nigel doesn't win 2x2, I'll learn full CLL.

If Yiheng gets a WR, I'll let you guys vote on my pfp for 1 week.

 

[SYUTEO]

So now it's 4x4 and I choked so bad.

I also almost lost my competitior wrist band which was scary, if you lose it you can't compete anymore. Thankfully I was able to find it back.

No new records so far.

 

[precompsubwr]

If Nigel doesn't get a sub 1.15 avg in 2x2 then I have to make a video doing every wca event oh
If Lim Hung and Tymon don't both podium for 6x6 I have to do 6BLD by the end of the year
