[@edenbaker1]

This was such an intense and incredible final. I honestly feel really bad for Yiheng, the fact that he was 0.01 seconds off and that he had EVEN more pressure than everyone else since he was expected to win.

[@Atriaa6]

Dw, he is very young he will win some more :) Happy for Max, who knows how fast you can decline with aging ?

[@Weston_Todd]

He still has like 10 years to prove himself

[@creamycubing]

Once he learns to be a good competitor he will win back to back world's. This is kinda like a repeat of feliks where a win seemed easy but pressure got to him because of inexperience. Hope Yiheng wins 2025!

[@ClockBestEvent]

One of the best finals I've watched. I rooted for Max and the ludacris result was a dream come true for me. The finals was a sneak peak of the chinise domination btw

[@chimchu3232]

Congrats to Max and all the other competitors. I lost my mind for a minute when you said he won 4 million dollars. 😂 the prize money was issued in Korean won, converted to USD is about $3,000. I was like damn, the prize money increased a lot this year 😅

[@DanielKuririn]

A hora que ele disse dólares eu também assustei. Ia até pesquisar se era isso mesmo 🤭

[@captaincaption]

Thank you for the conversion, I was just going to assume he won a LOT of money

[@chimchu3232]

@captaincaption no problem haha, I had to look into it because I was pretty surprised

[@andrewdunbar828]

He was only out by three orders of magnitude (-:

[@ethanhawkins6058]

Not to be that guy, but it was round $30,000 USD

[@bigoofersrock]

18:42 He won 4,000,000 South Korean won, which is the South Korean currency. 4,000,000 won is around $3,000

i like how Tymon is happy and smiling being in 3rd place while Yiheng Wang is just standing there with no emotion

[@KPR888]

Hes only 9 so it makes sense for him to be sad and not smile because he lost by 0.01 but he probably cheered up after

[@justadude721]

[@KPR888]

@@justadude721 also he will learn from this not to set high expectations so soon and practice in high pressure enviroments, he was 9its normal for him to be sad thats like any 9 year old, hes 10 now tho

[@justadude721]

@@KPR888 it's true that his mom will be upset but Yiheng would've also felt upset about not winning and it might not have been the most appropriate time to scold him. Also Yiheng has been performing so well recently and obviously that would lead to high expectations for himself. It's not just about expectations he has for himself but also expectations others have for him. Everyone is tracking his progress and that's not going to stop so we can all atleast be a little understanding of him as he just turned 10 a week ago

[@zenatic-aox]

With how many young chinese prodigies we saw in the finals, I can't imagine next year's world's if they keep going with this consistency....

[@purified-5171]

We meet again

[@talentedcuber]

[@JJCcuber]

Just to anyone who doesn’t know, the prize money was actually Korean so if you look closely it’s not dollars. the real amount of money was 4,000, 2,500, and 1500.

Way to go Max! You are simply the best! All competitors did great!

[@OxzowachiAlt]

very impressed by the footage, commentary, and visuals on this. thanks for making it

[@jean-francoisemmrich4]

That’s wasn’t 4 millions dollars, that was 4 millions South Korean won

[@Mr.PigeonErwan]

I think he was joking about $4 million

[@FutxFifaEditz]

Let us hit 1 million for this legend

[@Feverstockphoto]

You have to be in it to win it! They all did great! 👍 Side note: Workshop training schools need to be set up, which can run alongside major competitions. They could run a couple of days before or after comps. They could be aimed at different levels, beginner, intermediate, advanced, parents... It would bring more enjoyment, benefits and interest to the comps and make travelling to them more worthwhile imo. What you think?

[@hesacuber]

The quality on this is phenomenal brother

[@3DCubing]

Hi!!

[@jamiepayton1574]

Agreed. Completely covers everything in a manageable amount of time. Also just an appropriate amount of comments too.

[@SteveTownshend]

Great video! Thanks for covering this! One point: you said at the end that Max won “4 million dollars”. But in fact it was 4 million Korean Won (W) which is just less than $3000 USD. That’s a pretty big difference.

[@emelieignacio2204]

haven't cubed in a while, saw this video made me happy, GOOD JOB CUBE HEAD!!

[@williampetrie4259]

I watched this live but with cubehead's commentary it was still exciting to watch

Bofan Zhang blows me away every time. He is so young and turns so fast. It’s crazy.

watched it live at 2 am haha went wild when i saw yiheng's last solve, i was on the edge of my seat for tymon's last solve too

[@Nocontextcubing]

Man we love you and we always will glad you back

[@alexisjordan3303]

After the fourth solve, the organisers should tell us the guaranteed average and best possible average after 5th solve. That would make it thrilling to watch.

[@pcuber1105]

Max the legend .This shows that experience is more important than skills

[@Blok10101]

I mean yiheng is pretty much his level but he has less experience i mean he’s 9 years old or smth

[@pawan5248]

Tymon really had 3 sub 5 solves. So unfortunate that he wasn't able to win the finals. Next world champion for sure.

[@justadude721]

Not 3. 2! His 5.00 was close but not sub 5. He did do very well for his middle 3 solves and he needed around a 6.18 to win which is very doable for him. Yiheng needed a 6.04 which he can do in his sleep so it's really sad

[@ubaoprid]

I’m not gonna lie. I Cube while listening/watching videos and I just got my first sub 10 ao5 while listening to Yiheng and Ruihang solve with Milan’s commentary. Your content is magical and thank you for providing us with it!

He was hoping that solve wouldn’t count anyways so I think he’s more disappointed at the fifth one

[@terenceytf666]

if he actually press the timer right first time i turn it to 0.25 speed and look and try to pause at that right time he would have got 5.92 and winning the world's by 5.24 average beating max's 5.31

[@JordanWiens]

@terenceytf666 I disagree -- I also put it at .25 speed and I think he gets a 6.2, not 5.92. Look at the other videos, when you see the hand come vs when the timer stops isn't quite aligned. The 5.92 he didn't have his left hand down all the way plus there's a slight delay so I think it's closer to 6.2. If you average in a 6.2 he ends up with a 5.32 so still not quite winning, but very very close.
