Good Solve hydynn!

For information, that was a Sean Patrick scramble in Marikina City Open II 2019. resolved with 58 STM in 7.67sec
You ca see his reconstruction here: Sean Patrick recon

The Next scramble remains the same (hydynn's one):

I don't do Roux but I'll give it a shot.

If anyone has any tips for me, that would be great (I know I have to work on my blocks)

You are correct that blocks are important, but I must say your L10P look very good efficiency wise! Though I think there was a typo in the moves so I can't help there

For blocks I saw you did a DL + 2 pairs approach which is fine. Try to avoid 3-move inserts such as L U L', and instead do something like r B.
For reducing movecount for FB, it is great to know how pieces pair up in a bunch of ways (instead of cfop-style), and example solves are great for this.
It is easier to get away with a cfop-like approach during SB, and sometimes it's optimal. I suggest using the M slice and Rw moves to pair cases more efficiently. My SB would be r' U' r U' M2 F R' F' U R
Once again example solves are great for giving you ideas on how to solve certain cases. To put these ideas into practice, slow solving is key!

Thank you! I kinda want to switch to Roux so this is very helpful (I will still do CFOP tho)
