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.
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
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.
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!
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 😅
@@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.
@@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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!
This video was really good, interesting easy to follow, and I'm happy that you did a good video about it because I missed the live because of personnal event 😁
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
Unfortunately, the time did not stop at the first press for Tymon's first solution. 😔 He could have won the championship...Congratulations to Max! He deserved it! 🏆
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
@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.
1:15 he finished in 8.466 seconds but he didnt like the time so didnt stop on time. 11:18 yup the legends are arriving. 15:53 ya that is the greatest ever.
Watching this in Europe was hell. For me, the competition started at half past MIDNIGHT in my area and ended around 10:00 AM to 2:30PM every day. I was so desperate to watch so I became nocturnal for 4 days 👍
As a Roux player, I'm very happy to see not one, but TWO Roux players in the finals. Sure, they weren't very close to winning, but considering how few people play it, it's amazing that there are still 2 of them making the finals.
I feel like this really shows how the cubing world still has a lot of room for growth. How a guy with two sub 5s and a 5.15 got second place is just mind blowing to me. If you showed a person the first place's 5 times and the second place's 5 times, they'll wonder why he got second. That's just my opinion tho
No offence. Feliks is the GOAT and always will be but his chances of winning 2023 world championships are quite slim and he didn't even make it to the semifinals because he messed up pretty badly. It's okay because he's still the GOAT and he's engaged now
Comp vlog coming soon guys!
Also yes I messed up the WR by Max is indeed 3.13 😭

Yo CubeHead 🎉
WAHOOOOOO
nice cubehead take ur time we love you
YAYYYYY
Can't wait to see CubeHead in the top 16 of Worlds 2025 🔥
Hi
Cant Wait To See You Both On The Podium
Ting boy too
I can’t wait for you to hit the giddy in one video. Just one video. Please.
National record holder gonna become world record holder one day
Yihengs last solve was by far the most anxiety inducing of the whole comp
And in a close second is Max's last 5x5 solve
Bad luck he got e perm
Tymons fifth solve
Also tymon’s last solve
@@wxbrainiac why is no one talking about ruihang. He also had a sub 5.31 BPA

18:42 He won 4,000,000 South Korean won, which is the South Korean currency. 4,000,000 won is around $3,000
no no, 4 million USD, he's rich now
Lol 🤣@@CubeHead
@@CubeHead I must become a top cuber now
Me at the beginning of the video: 7.4! Wow, that’s crazy impressive!
Me towards the end of the video: 6.1, get it together!!!
Lol
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 😅
A hora que ele disse dólares eu também assustei. Ia até pesquisar se era isso mesmo 🤭
Thank you for the conversion, I was just going to assume he won a LOT of money
@captaincaption no problem haha, I had to look into it because I was pretty surprised
He was only out by three orders of magnitude (-:
Not to be that guy, but it was round $30,000 USD
This was a great watch. I hadn't seen the results before watching this which made it even better. Well Done Cubehead!
Great commentary and documentation of the event! 😊
thank you!!
@@CubeHead 4 million USD was the first prize?
i like how Tymon is happy and smiling being in 3rd place while Yiheng Wang is just standing there with no emotion
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
@@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.

Max may not be a postman but he always delivers
@@ChenMoyu-eu5ntYeah, really clever.
I've been waiting for this! You always find a way to satisfy your viewers 😜
I’m subbed to u
Hello ❤
Wow! The world Championship finals are so tight
I know right?
@@CubeHeadthat rhymes lol
yer gaddamn right
First time watching these videos in the last 20 mins, saw Yiheng in 4 videos and hes already my favorite. Love that lil dude🔥💯
Congratulations to EVERYONE who made it to finals!

"That's a great solve!"
"He's not happy with that."
I just finished the video.. great commentary and editing! The battle was really intense with Yiheng and Max wow
The quality on this is phenomenal brother
Hi!!
Agreed. Completely covers everything in a manageable amount of time. Also just an appropriate amount of comments too.
Way to go Max! You are simply the best! All competitors did great!
When he uploads EVERY cuber Smiles 😊
very impressed by the footage, commentary, and visuals on this. thanks for making it
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.
Bofan Zhang blows me away every time. He is so young and turns so fast. It’s crazy.
@agrainofrice174 He’s probably gonna win the 2025 world championship.
@agrainofrice174 I hope he does. If he’s does I think he’s gonna win.
Let us hit 1 million for this legend
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.
haven't cubed in a while, saw this video made me happy, GOOD JOB CUBE HEAD!!
Finaly cubehead is back 🎉 0:50
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
Really good video. I like how balanced you edit these with a nice commentary! Thanks for sticking around!
Of course Max beat Yiheng by 0.1s 😂
0.01
0.01
The amount of times cubehead said “happy with that” or “not happy about that” was funny
I watched this live but with cubehead's commentary it was still exciting to watch
It was so nice meeting you!!! Great video btw
So glad to see you uploading regularly again! Love your content forever
Congrats to Max, and this was a good video keep up the great work.
Man we love you and we always will glad you back

Watched the whole thing it was great 19:06
thank you!!
@@CubeHead no problem just watching some quality content 🙂
11:24

What an unfortunate last solve for Yiheng.... I actually was about to go crazy if he won with two 4's
Same for Tymon
9:06 bro i swear to god his haircut made me think he was gonna do 3bld for some reason LMFAO
Nobody gonna talk about how gods Milan is at commentating! 🎤

One of the best finals so far
I love how you made this where u put their placing in the world and their best times and everything very well made 🔥
I stayed up until 2 am my time watching this live and it was insane!
I have been waiting for this video!!! Great job cubehead. You have my respect
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
CubeHead, thanks for doing this. I have never seen cube journalism like this. It was great!
Can’t wait for J perms 2 hour long video
This video was really good, interesting easy to follow, and I'm happy that you did a good video about it because I missed the live because of personnal event 😁
The cubing community is growing a lot!
This was amazing! I couldn’t watch live so this was a great recap to watch 🙂
CubeHead did You make a vlog to ??? I would love to see that
Yes uploading that one hopefully within a week!
thanks for taking us there and narrating that was awesome
Both Yiheng and Tymon had a chance to win, but unfortunately choked the last solve
Ruihang too
@@justadude721 he started with a 5.73, 5.21, and a 5.91. He wasn’t even close to becoming World champion. Nerves truly are a thing
@@gryphey he had a best possible average of 5.22 and given how he paused so much and still got a 5.8, if he got a good solve he could've won
Tymon really had 3 sub 5 solves. So unfortunate that he wasn't able to win the finals. Next world champion for sure.
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
This is 4 millions Won = 3000 USD
Omg I’ve been waiting 2 months for this, keep up the great work ❤( love this video)
epic to show that Max won't go down that easily.
Bro love from India ❤❤❤
Plz make more videos
Wow man. I really wanted Yiheng to win. He looks so sad at 2nd place :(.
He is so young at was so close to being a champion.
So good that CubeHead explains every solve in worlds 2023 final.
I saw a picture of the podium and I was wondering why yiheng looked so defeated but now I know why
???
Kids are dominating the cubing community
I hope you are having a great time in Korea!!😊 Have you tried anything new in here???
everything is new here for me!!
@@CubeHeadnice that you had good time ❤
it's great to have you back!
Unfortunately, the time did not stop at the first press for Tymon's first solution. 😔 He could have won the championship...Congratulations to Max! He deserved it! 🏆
NO SPOILERS
He was hoping that solve wouldn’t count anyways so I think he’s more disappointed at the fifth one
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

2: Yiheng Wang
3: Max Park
4: Tymon
No offence. Feliks is the GOAT and always will be but his chances of winning 2023 world championships are quite slim and he didn't even make it to the semifinals because he messed up pretty badly. It's okay because he's still the GOAT and he's engaged now
