Next cubing prodigy?? Insane TPS.
Also could this be the rise of Chinese cubers dominating the scene?

I edited my post to say this, but pure speculation: do you think we will see a new generation of Chinese speedsolvers break records and top the leaderboards? Right now the very top leaderboards are held by Western (American and to lesser extent European and Australian) cubers.Ambassador of the GAN Speed Aces.

I can see a lot of the GAN Speed Aces team going on to break records, sort of like the mini GAN Gurus.

I can definitely see that happen.
The fact that GAN are the only company (I'm pretty sure) to invest in younger "potential" is definitely going to help them in the long run.
It will only be a matter of time but based on the potential in these younger speedcubers, GAN have made a good choice in nurturing them at a young age. Most record holders became speedcubers at a young age (e.g. Feliks, Max, Leo and countless others).
It's not only speedcube shops that can sponsor people.
This is probably due to the pandemic lockdowns not having comps but I noticed that a bunch of Chinese speedcubers all set their records this year
IDK how many were already on the top 100 but it'll be interesting to check back in a year or soRankings | World Cube Association
The World Cube Association governs competitions for mechanical puzzles that are operated by twisting groups of pieces, commonly known as 'twisty puzzles'. The most famous of these puzzles is the Rubik's Cube, invented by professor Rubik from Hungary. A selection of these puzzles are chosen as...www.worldcubeassociation.org
Wait can two stores sponsor one person?That's right.
Most people get a sponsorship from a manufacturer AND a cube retailer in a dual-sponsorship so they receive funding for attending competitions from both sides e.g. Cubicle GAN etc.
It just depends on their individual contracts. Think about how professional athletes get sponsorship by MANY different companies, they most likely just won't hold a sponsorships for 2 companies that are direct competitors.Wait can two stores sponsor one person?
No, they're both "rival" stores, as in they both do the same thing, while companies like gan, moyu, qiyi, etc. only manufacture cubes (besides gan cuz they also have a store) and let the cubicle and scs ship them.Like can you be sponsored by bot the Cubicle and speedcubeshop.com?
more like qiyi and the cubicleLike can you be sponsored by bot the Cubicle and speedcubeshop.com?
Honestly, in 10 or so years, Leo Borromeo and Yiheng wang will achieve sub 2 on 3x3.Next cubing prodigy?? Insane TPS.

Depends, probably get better shipping from scs if you live to the west of the U.S, while if you live more east, than the cubicle is better.I cant decide SCS has great sevice but the cubicle has better premium products
let's see. Right now, about ~25 moves is the best elite FMC solvers can do consistently. And the fastest possible TPS is probably around 16 in an actual speedsolve, but with such an efficient method, the TPS limit goes down hard. That is totally ridiculous and easily debunked.Honestly, in 10 or so years, Leo Borromeo and Yiheng wang will achieve sub 2 on 3x3.
I think your thought process doesn't link whatsoever to your final thought.let's see. Right now, about ~25 moves is the best elite FMC solvers can do consistently.

it does matter, because to be sub 2 you would need to solve in like 1/3 of the moves CFOP uses. You can't physically turn at the 30 tps it would take to get sub 2 with CFOP, much less lookahead during that.Your "FMC" talk doesn't really matter to this as its not like that matters? Please correct me if I am wrong
