I didn't see this pair was there at the beginning 😅
It was a lucky scramble. But it's nice to see this level with is method and I'm happy for all Rouxers around the world :)

Amazing!
I immediately saw the free 2x2 block during his inspection :)
For the blue/orange block (front right), it was a free pair or did he build it while first block?
"Cubing Competitions Near Me" tool
Until yesterday, we could find the closest WCA competitions to our home (or any location and sorted by distance) with a tool on CubingApp.com. All we had to do was fill in the latitude and longitude.
Today I contact Spencer Chubb (the owner of the website) about this, and few hours later he had improved it: now we just have to fill in the field with a city!
It works perfectly and easier to use!

Thanks to Spencer to listen to suggestions, and congratulations to him on his responsiveness.
He's a very nice guy.
"Chinese" was a good clue! I found it.
Ranking is here: cubing.com/results/statistics/sum-of-ranks
Thank you @thisisdee :)
Where can I find Sum Of Ranks (SoR) WCA world ranking?
Yestherday, Luke Garrett became #1 in the world for Sum Of Ranks average. In his youtube video, we can see a SoR ranking web page.
Do you know which site is it from please?
I share your excitement and the serotonin addiction, like all cubers :)
I just wonder how much faster you would be with all the algs in your head.
I wonder too. You can also ask yourself how much faster you would be after learning some COLL or/and Winter Variations, or if you do x-crosses/cross+1 each solve. Learning is endless in cubing! I've decided to stop − for a moment − learning new algs and focus on inspection and F2Ls.
May be I'll take a look at few sexy/sledge OLL algorithms ;)
You have good advice but, it doesn't suit who I am. Tx :)
I'm not a competitor and I don't want spend time with a trainer.
I only do 40~50 solves a day. It's not enough to keep 57 cases in memory.
Thank you for your answer. It's very interesting to know what knowledge cubers have and what techniques they use.
It's funny, we're at the same place in our progression 🙂
I plan crosses and try x-crosses/cross+1 but I'm bad at this. As you, I do a lot of slow turning. I agree with you, it's a very good practice.
For F2L, I'm still discovering new tricks/algs that save me time.
Actually, I know 20/21 PLLs and 2-look OLLs (+ 2 OLL-T). I don't want learn full OLL, so, to skip dot cases I use sledge to insert the last pair or add M moves to a last 3-mover.
I decided I would never learn all OLLs (too much for me). So, in parallel to CFOP, a few days ago I started practicing edges orientation (EO) of the ZZ method. Because after F2Ls, up-face edges are already oriented and so, there are only 8 cases (we already know). It's a (long) test. I'll see later if I definitively switch or not.
Congrats :)
If you use CFOP, do you know full PLL? OLL?
I'm interested 'cause I do same times as you.
Do you know who are actually the best ZZ method speedcubers in the world?
I only know Phil Yu.
You're right.
Thank you :)
Indeed.
It's completely crazy. Only 0.2 seconds amplitude on 5 solves! And 3 same times!
