Yes, my point was that if we've learnt anything it's that previously thought impossible times have been achieved slowly. Of course, as you mentioned, most likely it will be Yiheng to break it and I can acknowledge a jump in an average is much harder to beat then for a single time, but we'll see

In my honest opinion, Zayn has a much better chance at WR than anybody else on Earth, and people overestimate YiHeng's 2x2 skills...

I tried the 0.93 scrams and got 1.45, 1.47, 1.75, 1.77, and 2.39...

Even though I know EG, I turn really slow, and I could easily see how good the scrambles were. YiHeng just used pure TPS and luck in order to get this average. In fact, he gets quite a bit of Low 2/High 1 averages, showing that these scrambles were clearly lucky if he managed to get Sub-1.

A few of my friends who avg 1.5 on 2x2 got 1.0x averages on these scrams, showing that if top 2x2ers got these scrambles, many would easily get Sub-1. In fact, my friends who are 2x2ers get Sub-1 averages often.

It is just a matter of time and luck before the Sub-1 barrier is broken, and Zayn is the one who is most likely to get it. His solutions are the most efficient and Zayn has many Sub-1 official fails. Namely the +2 out of 0.97 (iirc) and the cube drop that happened which likely costed him WR.

On the other hand YiHeng's case is more like Luke Garrett's. He does the same solutions as me, but just turns way faster. YiHeng likely averages 1.5, and if he does it again, the scrambles are likely insane.

So I do not think that Zayn will need to get stupidly lucky for Sub-1, but YiHeng will. (Contradicting your statement).

I feel like you’re downplaying his achievements? Yiheng had wr2 before this and if you want to say the scrambles were easy I guess you can, Nigel got wr5 from the same round after all, will you say he just spammed tps too?

I'm not downplaying his achievements. WR2 is not easy to achieve. He is VERY fast, and 1.5 is not slow. I am just saying that he is inconsistent with his averages, showing that luck is a huge factor in is averages. All I am saying is that his solutions are almost the same as mine (2.0 2x2 Solver), and that many 2x2ers global the same as him if not faster.

I believe that YiHeng only knows CLL and EG-1, so yeah spamming TPS is a big factor of his solves. Nigel did spam TPS, but that is because the best solutions were the obvious ones. Nigel knows more alg sets, such as TCLL and LEG-1 (I think). This is what happened in Worlds as well, as the best solutions were the ones with CLL and EG, so Zayn could not use his alg-knowledge buff.

Wow, I'm not sure such a major barrier has had the record that broke said barrier reverted, I'm glad the the WRC made the right decision, the record is still on the WCA though.
