Actually i told Sean that he would podium at worlds no joke and he replied probably not

Phillipp predicted his win!

[@seven8067]

@ABC XYZ his hands were shaking a little bit looks like he was nervous

[@kenbrunet6120]

It's pointless to make predictions these days. Unless the ranking at worlds becomes average of all solves in the 4 rounds. Screw up one solve and you're pretty much done in the final

[@thecakemuffincrew9987]

I will still vehemently defend the notion that Feliks and Max are the two best cubers in the world.

[@rayvincyful1]

Everyone's time is pretty long. Feliks was 6.15 in the warm up, max was 6.393

[@Nitemortis]

They are very prominent, and well known.. there are other great cubers, but lets say, whne you are new to cubing two people you will get to know are them.

[@oliviapg]

I agree. That being said, I also think the top cubers are so close that a lot of them have potential to win individual competitions like this, and a single average of 5 doesn't do a good enough job anymore establishing the best of the best. That being said, I think larger averages would take too long for competitions. It's a strange predicament.

[@4ccuber945]

@@rayvincyful1 well at one point others will get better so it could be that it was just a choppy comp and a mix of nerves

[@biophonism6798]

I will vehemently defend the notion that those two are the only cubers you know

The Weyer brothers really nailed it!

Two Roux Solvers opposite each other. One gets the best single in the finals and one gets an average that earns him a tight second place. If I were a Roux Solver I'd still have nothing to do with it. :D Jokes aside. Phenomenal achievement. What better advertisement for the method than that?
