nice cubehead take ur time we love you

[@karenballentine3383]

YAYYYYY

[@wxbrainiac]

Yihengs last solve was by far the most anxiety inducing of the whole comp

[@gamer9smith]

And in a close second is Max's last 5x5 solve

[@numberone-kb2kh]

Bad luck he got e perm

[@aKira-md7wv]

Tymons fifth solve

Can't wait to see CubeHead in the top 16 of Worlds 2025 🔥

National record holder gonna become world record holder one day

[@curiousNic]

Not even the biggest names in Hollywood could have come up with a better script for this finals. Congrats to all the competitors, they couldn't have given us a more epic final. That was amazing to watch.

[@rujon288]

well they wouldn't because they are striking right now

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

[@edenbaker1]

@@Weston_Todd yea, I'd say he will be the 3rd person to win more than 1 world championship

[@Weston_Todd]

@@edenbaker1 He might win 2x2 too

[@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!

[@5tuffz]

Great commentary and documentation of the event! 😊

[@CubeHead]

thank you!!

[@carlosali2299]

@@CubeHead 4 million USD was the first prize?

[@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 😅

[@user-tm6ml5qd5r]

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 (-:

Max may not be a postman but he always delivers

[@chattyclan9320]

​@@ChenMoyu-eu5ntYeah, really clever.

[@friesrice]

Correction: max won 4,000,000 South Korean won, not 4,000,000 usd, so he won roughly 3k usd

[@gunsaremything648]

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

[@jamescarter9944]

@@KPR888 there was a video of his mom looking upset after the finals. He's was just a 9 year old the pressure and expectations can be overwhelming for him.

[@KPR888]

@@jamescarter9944 yihengs mom is also one of his his coaches. And if Yiheng is upset ofc she will be upset

[@KPR888]

@@jamescarter9944 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

[@jamescarter9944]

@@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

[@FutxFifaEditz]

Let us hit 1 million for this legend

[@Henry_Martin]

I'm glad Max Park won and Tymon Kolasiński got on the podium because they both have the top 2 best moments in Speedcubing history. Tymon Kolasiński last solve in wr average and Max Park wr single.

[@williamneidecker-gonzales]

This was amazing! I couldn’t watch live so this was a great recap to watch 🙂

Both Yiheng and Tymon had a chance to win, but unfortunately choked the last solve

[@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.

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?

[@pcuber1105]

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

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