His home attack always doesn't let him pretend

On the second day, the one-handed and three-speed preliminary rounds of the third-order Rubik's Cube ushered in. Qi Youhan went well in the one-handed preliminary rounds and the second day's rematch and semi-finals.

In the three-speed semi-finals, he encountered a little accident. He made a mistake in the first three times, and the restoration scores were 10.31, 8.04, and 7.34. In the fourth restoration, one step was not fully recovered and the next step was turned. The movement was too fast. A corner of the Rubik's Cube flew out, and the restoration failed. Regardless of the results, whether Qi Youhan could advance to the final suddenly became confusing.

The Rubik's Cube competition was played five times in one round, and the final score was the average of the three times. The DNF just now must have been counted as the worst score and was eliminated, but Qi Youhan still had a 10.31-second error.Not counting DNF, his current average score is 8.56, which is quite bad.

The various events held in Europe have always represented the highest level in the world. The results and levels of various events in the European Championships in 2016 were not even comparable to the global Brazil World Championships, and the number of participants was even larger.

At the World Championships in Brazil, it took 9.66 seconds to reach the final, and in the European Championships a year later, this time was increased to 8.62, which was a full second shorter.

Today, another year later, everyone is making progress, the finalist score is only small, not getting 8.62, not to mention the World Championship champion, Qi Youhan can't even make it to the final.

In other words, if Qi Youhan's fifth time is slower than 7.34 seconds, his average score exceeds the value of 8.62...

He had to screw in 7.34 to fix the score at 8.56, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to make it to the finals, because the opponents won't release water.

Before the fifth retracement, Qi Youhan felt a little irritable, but he adjusted himself after a while, no matter how the opponent played, at least do his part well first.

After the preparations were completed, the mask of the Rubik's Cube was opened, and Qi Youhan quickly observed it. This is a relatively complicated Rubik's Cube, whether cross or F2L. As soon as Qi Youhan observed it, his heart sank. Complexity means that there are many steps to restore. He increased his hand speed to the extreme, probably in the early 7 seconds, 7.1, 7.2, but once there is a slight mistake... the gap of 0.1 seconds, from the perspective of outsiders, he really can't feel his passing.

"8 seconds."

Qi Youhan frowned, and kept calculating the easier steps.

1 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds...

"stop."

Taking a deep breath, putting down the Rubik's Cube, Qi Youhan put his hands on his pants and rubbed them to wipe off the non-existent sweat. He pressed the timer with both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the reminder of the timer.

The moment the timer turned green, Qi Youhan grabbed the Rubik's Cube and started solving it!

After completing the cross in 8 steps, he went to restore the first group of corners without stopping, and read silently while restoring. He failed to predict the route of jumping OP. In the restoration, it is played to the extreme.

1.56 seconds, the second group of F2L.

2.32 seconds, the third group F2L.

3.15 seconds, the fourth group F2L.

Qi Youhan's hands are so fast that even the referee can't see the trajectory clearly. He can only vaguely judge that Qi Youhan is restoring in the simplest and rude way. There are no fancy tricks, and he uses the most basic CFOP publicity. Qi Youhan's hand So fast that the referee did not exhale after inhaling.

Fast, too fast!

The referee is also a Rubik's cube player, with a sub10 level, he can enter the semi-finals in the World Championships, but he can't do it if he wants to go further.He originally thought that this Asian, a Chinese player with no amazing results except for blind twisting, must be lucky to reach the semi-finals.You can see that his first Rubik's Cube took more than 10 seconds, that should be his true level. How could the Chinese have entered the final of the World Championships?

During the Brazil World Championships, he was also a staff member. Coincidentally, he happened to be appointed as a referee for a Chinese player at the time. I don’t know where I heard the news. Many Chinese players on Facebook said that the guy was “Chinese Rubik's Cube No.1", so the little referee became very interested in that guy, Chinese Rubik's Cube No.1, is there any chance to witness a Chinese player's counterattack under my hands?

Then he was disappointed.

That guy's average score in the preliminary round was only 13 seconds, which was worse than that of a small referee. In the time he took to twist one, Feishen could restore two. How did the guy who couldn't even screw in 2 seconds become the No. 10 of China's Rubik's Cube. 1, is there no one left in China? *

Sure enough, there are still many gaps between China and Europe and the United States.

But now, in these few seconds, when he saw Qi Youhan's restoration this time, the little referee knew that he was wrong, a big mistake.

There is almost an afterimage!

When Qi Youhan dropped the Rubik's Cube and slammed it at the timer, the little referee let out a breath and turned to watch the timer, 6.98 seconds.

……

I froze for a while.

God! 6.98 seconds!A Chinese actually screwed 6.98 seconds!

Looking around again, I found Feishen and Maishen. Feishen's score was 7.01, and Maishen's score was 7.42.

All are not as fast as the Chinese!

Oh my God!

He was actually 0.03 seconds faster than Feishen.

Later, when the young referee communicated with other players, he learned that Feishen, like Maishen and Qi Youhan, did not use some shortcut formulas. Another guess is that the Chinese's hand speed is faster than that of Feishen.

God Fei is in the Rubik's Cube circle. He is a dominant figure. All the magic friends mentioned him with one word, convincing.After 15 years, every time he competes, as long as he is there, everyone can directly compete for No.2.

There will also be great masters in the Rubik's Cube circle, such as Maishen, Lucas, Clin Burns, etc., who will defeat Feishen in a single Rubik's Cube restoration, but their odds of winning are geometrically lower than the average.

While most people are still struggling with how to reach sub7, Feishen has already stepped into the realm of sub6. The 12-time average starts at 5 seconds. Except for Feishen, no one has been able to achieve it.

But today, Qi Youhan's performance surprised the little referee.

Just faster than hand speed, can anyone be faster than Feishen?

The most unbelievable thing is that this person is still from China, where Rubik's Cube is underdog. When did China produce such a character, and will he be able to shine in future competitions?

The little referee stared in surprise and asked Qi Youhan to sign for confirmation. While signing, he recalled that there seemed to be a group of people on the Internet discussing that China had a dark horse. Could it be the one sitting next to me?Is this the rhythm of becoming a god?

Qi Youhan didn't care what the referee thought, he was anxiously waiting for the final list.

Qi Youhan walked back and forth slightly, looking very nervous.

Yue Mo found Qi Youhan after the comparison, seeing that Qi Youhan was not very confident: "What's wrong?"

Qi You frowned, "I didn't perform well..."

Yue Mo looked at Qi Youhan's report card: "It's really not very good."

Qi Youhan sighed, Yue Mo didn't comfort him, but just pinched his nose: "If you don't make it to the final, take it as a lesson."

Qi Youhan said sullenly, "I know..."

Fortunately, everyone seemed to have made big and small mistakes in the semi-finals. In the end, Qi Youhan ranked 8.56th with a score of 15.

The moment the results were announced, Qi Youhan regained his energy all of a sudden, and regardless of his image, he gave Yue Mo a bear hug.

Into the finals!He is happy.

One-handed and three-speed have always been the most popular events with the largest number of participants. They are the most important and the finale of the Rubik's Cube competition.In every Rubik's Cube competition, the one-handed and three-speed champions are always determined at the end. At this time, many players choose to stay in the arena, cheer for their idols, and witness the birth of the champion with their own eyes.

Standing on the final stage, you will receive the attention of thousands of contestants at the same time.

And Qi Youhan, in the second Rubik's Cube competition in his life, stood on such a world stage.How amazed, he has only been exposed to the Rubik's Cube for a year, and he has already done things that tens of thousands of Chinese magic friends cannot do.

Under more than 2000 pairs of eyes, he will compete with the world-renowned masters of Rubik's Cube circle.

Defeating the God of the Philippines, the world champion, the world's number one, what an exciting word.

Colin Burns became famous because he defeated the God of Fei at the US Open in New Jersey in 14. He was called "the man who killed the God of Fei". Qi Youhan thought that he could also fight for this title today.

At 3:45 p.m. local time, Qi Youhan was full of fighting spirit, and under the leadership of the staff, he set foot on the most eye-catching main stage of the main arena.

The third-order Rubik's Cube one-handed final (3*3onehandfinal) was played.

The strong players in the three singles include Feliks Zemdegs, the God of the Philippines; Antoine Cantin, known as the restaurant brother, who held the world record before the God of the Philippines; Micha? Pleskowicz, Justin Mallari and other familiar faces who often appear in the top three of the European Championships.

Sixteen contestants staggered, sitting front and back on the one-meter-high competition platform, Qi Youhan was at the back of the middle, and Feishen and the restaurant brother were sitting diagonally in front of him on one left and one right.

After the contestants got ready, the referees opened the cover of the Rubik's Cube one after another. The sixteen magic friends concentrated on observing the Rubik's Cube, and the audience watching the match fell silent instantly.

The gestures with one hand are very different from those with both hands. Qi Youhan had to practice for more than a month before he found the way, but he didn't expect that after only a few months of results, he would make it to the finals.

At the end of the first round, Qi Youhan actually ranked third with 11.44 seconds. No.2 Qidon Olis, 11.22, is an American player, and Feishen temporarily ranked first with 10.94**.

In the second round, Qi Youhan did not perform well. At 14.47, his opponents performed steadily, and the results were between 11 and 13 seconds. It received excited applause from the audience.

It is a very good result within 10 seconds with one hand. Generally, if you score 2 10 seconds, and the other results are not outrageous to more than 15 seconds, you can almost get the medal.

In addition, Qidon Olis also caught up with him on 12.16.

If Qi Youhan didn't work harder, the top three would be about to take flight.

The author has something to say: Please allow me to shamelessly ask for another wave of nutrient solution!Please forgive my greed, but I have no interest in the finals, I just want to stay in the fifth place for a few more days to get more exposure!

I originally expected to have 4000 collections when I finished, but later I found out that according to my bye-drug list-bye-drug list-re-bye rhythm, I can't expect the new list this Thursday. Well, let's swallow it without ranking.In short, I can't expect the list to give me exposure, no exposure means no collection.

To be honest, my collection in the past two months was brought to me by the fifth place in the competition, so this No.5 is very important to me!very!Very important wow!My current wish is to have 3000 collections before the end, and I am still short of 170. Only the fifth place in the competition can realize my dream for me. My little angels, please give me strength!

I won't have the chance to ask for nutrient solution from you guys in the future, since I'm about to finish, please give me some liquid!

Then let’s do a little science: now the WCA’s regulation is that all competitions use their own Rubik’s Cube, that is, there is no unified standard for what Rubik’s Cube is used for competitions except for the requirements for the logo on the Rubik’s Cube.So the Rubik’s Cube used by the masters is not from the same brand (Of course, the brands are different, but they are basically madeinChina. Although Chinese players have not achieved outstanding results in the world, the Rubik’s Cube that set the world record is all made in China. Thinking about it, I am a little proud. ).Which brand of Rubik's Cube to use mainly depends on the individual, and whichever one is easy to use can be used in the competition.A good Rubik's Cube has a very significant effect on improving performance. For example, Feishen used to be sub7, but he did a training session a while ago and put his unofficial 12 average scores into sub6. Everyone is discussing this time The improvement in grades has a lot to do with changing the Rubik's Cube. He replaced the Rubik's Cube with the most expensive air at present, costing hundreds of dollars each.
