Solution: R F U2 L2 U R U' L2 U R' U L R2 B2 R F R' B2 R F' R' D' R D' L' F2 L D' L' U' L R B' R' U L
Explanation:
Inverse scramble: U D' R2 L F D' F2 R' F' B' D R' U R2 F' D2 R2 D
2X2X3 + All edges permuted (8 edges, 2 corners): L' U' R B R' L' U (found L' U' L' U B F R in 1 minute, this one in 3)
Orient all edges using a setup-move + OLL-alg (12 edges, 3 corners: L D L' F2 L D R' D R2 . L' .. F' R' (you can execute that alg from 4 angels, in reverse and with a slight variation for 12 possibilities in total. This one gave me a 2 move cancellation and 1 extra corner)
Corner-cycle 1 (at .): R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 (cancels 1 move)
Corner-cycle 2 (at ..): U' R U' L2 U R' U' L2 U2 (no cancellations)

I am very curious how I should have done those cycles

Hi Arnaud,
With your solution framework: L' U' R B R' L'.U L D L' F2 L D R 'D R2 L'.F' R' (19)
I would insert R' U L2 U' R U L2 U' at the first dot and U B' U' F' U B U' F at the second dot. 5 moves cancel out leaving a 30-move solution. But to be honest it took me 30 minutes to find these insertions which is pretty long for competition purposes.
