Other than finals this was the best part of nats.

[@LaZer0MonKey]

Yep, definitely

[@kyrawr83]

It would've been the best if they had kept Mitch's cube.

[@popy-kk9fn]

+MLG Leafeon then lucas would have list

[@popy-kk9fn]

+popy0710 lost*

[@CubingEncoded]

drew: "Other than finals" well I mean you kinda won lol

[@spffy]

Wow, this looks like a blast. They should have more of these in other comps!

[@LaZer0MonKey]

I agree! They should!

[@naota3k]

Congratulations Lucas on 16 GuanLongs AND a sandy cube!

[@kewbgaming8146]

FYI the announcement say that they will replace the cube.

[@kewbgaming8146]

But Lucas is still amazing

[@Mechanabox]

OMG Brandon XD. Totally didn't pay attention at the end, GJ Brandon haha. (If you can't tell who I'm talking about, Brandon is the one who went against Mitch first)

[@pureloor2496]

I knew who he was he what'd he do?

[@pureloor2496]

Oh wait nvm he got 5$

[@minecraftevolver566]

Hi

[@lanzlegaspi7804]

No, he did it on purpose. You can even see it, he solves it and scrambles it with 2 moves

[@lanzlegaspi7804]

WHATTTT? HES THE GUY WITH THE BLUE SHIRT WITH THE CUBE THAT HAS SAND IN IT

[@Hallstrom007]

I really like that Lucas guy. He always gives his winning cubes away. Humble about it too!!

[@MJCuber]

Wow love this challenge!

[@aidalinamahmud4957]

during anthony brooks solves at the tournament display shows 9.01 wich presents a gen 2 timer but its a pro timer

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

9.010

[@rutujakarawade6549]

lucas is an amazing cuber he solved the 3 by 3 in 4.90 seconds i cant even build the cross correctly in such less time

[@oujl]

+Xenox Gaming, Vlogs and Animations! Wut....whats your average? Cause my cross average is like 3... And my pb is around 1.8.... I average low 20s to high 10s so basically 18-21

[@twistiicuber1055]

XeRoHD 1.8? Typo? Also is that juuzou Suzuya from Tokyo ghoul

[@alexgjohnson8969]

[@rafaelgarcia5974]

7:38 guy in purple to the left casually doing OH

[@rafaelgarcia5974]

[@jeremyweremy]

+Jezca xD

[@MessanyRecordings]

This is a great track

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

this is awesome :D

[@amadeo6197]

At my competition, we exactly did this type of challenge. But we used our main and not guanlong. The winner got moyu 13x13

[@AwesomeBoyPlays]

This is awesome

[@willcerne]

why were there so many +2s...

[@yahtzeeonayacht]

I know this is kinda late but it's because they weren't being serious

[@rathinsawant2523]

What did Mitch exactly do to his cube and why did neither of the finalists have it?

[@willo1189]

He put sand in it

[@ryan_henness]

+Willoben he also put an entire bottle of maru and half a tube of weight three. They switched it out because it is an unfair disadvantage

[@willo1189]

Orothos Cubing oh i didnt notice that XD

[@Ennnn]

If you are in a WCA comp and you get a corner twist , does that count as a DNF?

[@TheEpiczPwner90]

+Enchanter12345 Yes if you don't twist it back before you hit the timer. (See Feliks Zemdeg's fail WR)

[@Ennnn]

XxPureFailurexX Oh ok, thanks for the help. I have been wondering that for a bit. Im new to cubing about 2 months.

[@TheEpiczPwner90]

Enchanter12345 Same here, I just somehow happen to know that xD

[@Ennnn]

XxPureFailurexX lol

[@Ennnn]

***** Ok thanks!

[@cashcubez9835]

Was the guy on the right at 6:12 cheating and looking through the judge's fingers?

[@matthewagar6740]

7:40 Lucas why you do that 😢

[@cubeaddict7874]

[@gamboafamilysog6518]

Anthony brooks

[@nickicle]

[@mastercharizardxy1011]

MLGCuber z 2015

[@dk_8133]

was lucas giving away the cubes at the end?

[@LaZer0MonKey]

Yes

[@dk_noobmaster46]

+LaZer0MonKey "take one, take one" xD

[@AiyunoDaProGames]

I would do the same thing if I won, or else most of my cube collection would be guanlongs XD

[@KevinMin]

+LaZer0MonKey did Lucas keep the sandy cube?

[@alexanderap9558]

Wow Lucas etter

[@dubalak9271]

Lucas etter reminds me of sheldon from big bang theory

[@vanessawei7144]

Justa Cuber i thought i was the only one...

[@philipocchino5654]

What is the guy who put the sand in the cubes channel???

[@MitchellHang]

I think it was Mitch Lane (the "MOM I GOT A PB" guy).

[@blackcubing135]

This really shows how much the top speedcubers depend on their cubes

[@nedaj5359]

BlackCubing I

[@pontdupont5256]

"Good game" 6:23 lol

[@thecubedpanda1325]

The guanlong can be sandy at times

[@ashtons.2282]

What did Anthony put in his cube

[@claudiollambi3680]

Ash sand and to much lube

[@Trumpophone7]

I stopped watching when they replaced the bad cube

[@ashugoyal321]

Feliks was not there !!

[@keithmasongsong3727]

Why is Anthony Brooks there? Isn't he a Canadian??

[@mattlee8754]

No, he is from Texas

[@KevinMin]

Eric Limeback is Canadian, and he is there.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

it doesn't matter about nationality, you can compete

[@jj0rinx650]

wair why did they wait until they hit the timer?

[@Arkesus]

Mitch had thrown a bunch of sand into his cube, it moved like a steamroller so everyone intentionally let him win so he would still have to solve his sand cube and they wouldn't.

[@jhcworld4113]

AJ Green p

[@AlexMaass]

I got Corn's guanlong! (guanlong #5)

[@simonpage6698]

Isn't it 16 people and not 15

[@braydenrobertson415]

[@mrbeanfan7217]

How did lucas win..? He got a 2 sec + solve ryt?

[@sheesh8831]

Mr bean fan The guy he was against had an unsolved guanlong, while lucas solved all of his guanlong

[@firstnameiskowitz8493]

Where is the 5.58 former record?

[@AiyunoDaProGames]

That was in finals for Nats, it wasn't apart of the GuanLong challenge.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

and it wasn't a record

[@RyanW35]

I could maybe solve one in the time they can solve 4

[@RyanW35]

45 second average

[@christianalboroto7574]

+TeMpEredPhoe 33 sec average here

[@RyanW35]

+Christian Alboroto omg lol haha. Now i can solve in 13 seconds and i average 16. Times have changed

[@PurpleCoin7777]
