Ok first of all FELIKS IS SPELLED WITH ''KS'' AND NOT ''X''. Now, I really think that it's tymon. But guys lets not forget about Leo Borromeo hes a young but a VERY GOOD speedcuber, so I think he has chances....
True. Leo's got 2 pretty good sub-5 solves last comp, and broke both of Sean Patrick Villanueva's Philippine records.

im actually thinking matty now. everyone underestimated him a lot because he doesnt compete that often, and they dont know how much he has been improving. at his past comp, everyone expected him to get maybe 1 or 2 sub-5 solves, and like a 6 average. but he got a 5.25 average( 4.97 if he hadnt +2'd) and 6 sub-5 singles

Damn every time someone thinks a famous dude is going to get WR they fail and +2 somthing. Or like Jayden and Zayn, they dropped the cube.

Like Max Siauw with SQ-1 average. He +2'ed out of it a couple times and lost the WR because of misscrambles another time. Pretty sure there were other issues, too. Then he goes ahead and breaks it twice in the same comp, very nearly getting the first sub-5 average when the previous WR was 6.19.

Ok, so the 4 biggest competitors are Max, Matty, Ruihang, and Tymon.
According to SpeedcubeDB,

Average TPS:
Max-10.8
Ruihang-10.8
Matty-10.3
Tymon-9.5

Average Movecount:
Tymon-53.5
Matty-55.4
Max-58.7
Ruihang-59.1

Global Average:
Tymon's Average-5.65
Max's Average-5.44
Matty's Average-5.38 😲
Ruihang's Average-5.48


So, Matty should be most likely, because he has a lower global than Max, Tymon, and Ruihang.
But we haven't factored in Comp Nerves yet.
Comp averages are obviously a lot different than averages at home.

Comp Average from the last 3 Months :
Tymon-5.84
Max-5.70
Matty-6.00
Ruihang-N/A


So, according to Comp Averages, Max should be the first to get a sub-5 average. But that's not fair either, because Ruihang hasn't competed for a year.


There isn't really an easy way to calculate this. Matty has one Sub-5 fail. His 5.25 Official average would have been 4.93 without the +2.
Tymon also has a Sub-5 fail. His 5.15 average would have been 4.74 without the +2.
Max and Ruihang both have no Sub-5 fails.

If you have watches Matty's 5.25 video, you will see how many lock-ups he has. Without them, the average might have been WR and Sub-5 even with the +2. If Matty can fix his turning, I think he will have Sub-5 average in the bag. So overall, I say Matty.
