He will eventuallly get the sub 1 average just like how Tymon got a 4.86 3x3 average a while after he +2ed out of a 4.74 average

[@jorian_meeuse]

Wasn't matty the one with the +2?

[@jennifercheung6464]

@@jorian_meeuse both actually

[@jamescarter9944]

@@jorian_meeuse Right. Both of them missed the first sub 5 average.

[@table5584]

So he will get 0.98 average then? Lol

[@germanoft9294]

​@@table5584actually 0.97

[@thehastycuber]

I was the judge in the white shirt. This absolutely broke me. The room was in so much paranoia and anxiety

[@AK_804]

In the back?

[@quagsire2007]

He was the judge for the 2nd solve of Zayne's average

[@jarster1]

preston? (edit: yes)

[@TriCubing]

In Zayn's past WR Averages, he usually drops the average down by 0.01 or 0.02 seconds, so to see this big of a drop(0.97 if it wasn't for the +2) it honestly surprises me how far Zayn's solves have become.

[@TetraCubing]

that is a good point lol

[@OwenWright711]

This is still a terrible tragedy, but no wr fail will hit me as hard as Jayden McNeill's cube drop
edit: fixed spelling mistake

[@Fouzanzayn]

The N in McNeil is also capital

[@chimchu3232]

Yes that one is the worst 😂.

[@Macrotrophy-mq3wh]

[@fanderlentzperceval-speedc8590]

2:02 It's not only about your skills with the cube, but also about how much pressure you can handle. I think stuff like that is what separate great cubers from the legendary ones. This just shows how AMAZING the last solve of Tymon's 3x3 sub-5 average was. To find yourself in that situation, under so much pressure, and be able to deliver. I believe that's got to be one of the best solve in cubing history. (I'm not diminishing Zayn's achievement here, it's still an outstanding average and hopefully he'll get it soon).

[@fanderlentzperceval-speedc8590]

Breaking barriers in cubing has never been easy, though. 😅

[@divyamm7406]

After all this time he has finally achieved it and now 2 people have done it! 😮

[@JPDcuber]

I was there, it was very sad. Everyone celebrated until they caught the +2. He'll get it very soon.

[@disappointmentstudios2981]

Yeah I was in the 2x2 finals where this happened. It was so stressful and when everyone saw the time and not the cube we flipped out. Only to realize the tragedy that struck.

[@harrycuber]

1:16 z3 cubing, luke garrett and many famous cubers lol

[@yat_ii]

Matthew I love your videos are you coming to edinburgh summer competition?

[@MatthewMayernik]

Lol I wish! I live in the US so unfortunately no

[@ShawnNHL]

I was at this comp, the mood in the room was definitely sour and sad

[@Seth6910]

Luke in the backround

[@LetsPlayGeometryDash]

Personally, I don't consider this as a tragic fail... just because is Zayn Khanani. He will eventually get a sub-1 and probably a sub-0.9 (I don't even know if it writes like that)

[@goosedoesvideogames]

he did it now. 🎉

[@oscarvelocitymusic]

yo that was z3 cubing in the background

[@Lightning_]

Dude I was there and I witnessed the whole thing..

[@squirrelcubed31415]

I saw Zayn's video first and was absolutely devastated. Interesting fact: another failure happened in Grand Junction

[@disappointmentstudios2981]

Oh I thought you were gonna mention Hassan's squan wr average fail. But you are right it was you.

[@Oscwal]

2:20 for what many think is the unthinkable
That sentence made a lot of sense 😂

[@sunethealgorithm]

[@marioprogamer12345]

yea F

[@cringeSpeedrunner]

Hey z3 cubing

[@pcuber1105]

01:41 anyone saw z3cubing at the baground 😂 Great video though

[@thelivingcube]

there’s probably a decent amount of people who just haven’t done it in comp (i have a 0.95 8 move solution it’s just an oll alg lol)
But yeah still this was crazy

[@vVearon]

imagine if +2s were just DNFs. i’m quite glad we just get +2 instead of DNF but i think it should be a different time for other events. +2 was meant for 3x3, but is impractical for other events, especially 2x2 and 7x7.

[@orionarm7933]

I have a total of around 50 sub-1 solves and my pb is 0.40
But i dont have any officaly

[@griffmarsee5657]

*promosm*

[@calebos268]

Call me crazy, but I think that this will be the final second barrier that someone will break in 2x2

[@mikebob3145]

z3cubing is in that comp

[@trytobestme7545]

Yo shout out z3 cubing in the back GOAT

[@sethqt]

still 1.07 avg

[@AnthonyRochester]

Not that much of a tragedy since he already has the world record average. I guess he'll get sub-1 average some day

[@egg_inc_4_life535]

Something about this just makes me cringe extremly hard
