[@kewbgaming8146]

[@kewbgaming8146]

But Lucas is still amazing

[@Blananas2]

Mitch made this challenge infinitely more interesting.

[@Mechanabox]

OMG Brandon XD. Totally didn't pay attention at the end, GJ Brandon haha.
(If you can't tell who I'm talking about, Brandon is the one who went against Mitch first)

[@pureloor2496]

[@pureloor2496]

Oh wait nvm he got 5$

[@minecraftevolver566]

Hi

[@lanzlegaspi7804]

No, he did it on purpose. You can even see it, he solves it and scrambles it with 2 moves

[@lanzlegaspi7804]

WHATTTT? HES THE GUY WITH THE BLUE SHIRT WITH THE CUBE THAT HAS SAND IN IT

[@Hallstrom007]

I really like that Lucas guy. He always gives his winning cubes away. Humble about it too!!

[@oujl]

+Xenox Gaming, Vlogs and Animations! Wut....whats your average? Cause my cross average is like 3... And my pb is around 1.8.... I average low 20s to high 10s so basically 18-21

[@Trumpophone7]

[@daffazain6912]

[@aidalinamahmud4957]

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

[@willcerne]

[@edwardwang9257]

[@dubalak9271]

Lucas etter reminds me of sheldon from big bang theory

[@alexanderap9558]

Wow Lucas etter

[@minired1234]

The guy in round 1 against roe is the know it all kid

[@Ennnn]

If you are in a WCA comp and you get a corner twist , does that count as a DNF?

[@TheEpiczPwner90]

+Enchanter12345 Yes if you don't twist it back before you hit the timer. (See Feliks Zemdeg's fail WR)

[@Ennnn]

XxPureFailurexX Oh ok, thanks for the help. I have been wondering that for a bit. Im new to cubing about 2 months.

[@TheEpiczPwner90]

Enchanter12345 Same here, I just somehow happen to know that xD

[@Ennnn]

XxPureFailurexX lol

[@Ennnn]

***** Ok thanks!

[@shouryakhare4807]

Does the winner take the cubes home?

[@j.r.chen30]

Alex my ass: I have to solve mine

[@rathinsawant2523]

What did Mitch exactly do to his cube and why did neither of the finalists have it?

[@willo1189]

He put sand in it

[@ryan_henness]

+Willoben he also put an entire bottle of maru and half a tube of weight three. They switched it out because it is an unfair disadvantage

[@willo1189]

Orothos Cubing oh i didnt notice that XD

[@PurpleCoin7777]

[@RyanW35]

Jesse Playz sorry man. Its top secret

[@chesterleipanti1956]

Lucas My dear boy....

[@thecubedpanda1325]

[@TheYouCuber_]

5:23 - overconfidence😂

[@philipocchino5654]

What is the guy who put the sand in the cubes channel???

[@MitchellHang]

I think it was Mitch Lane (the "MOM I GOT A PB" guy).

[@facuber5776]

Including u mitch!

[@dk_8133]

was lucas giving away the cubes at the end?

[@LaZer0MonKey]

Yes

[@dk_noobmaster46]

+LaZer0MonKey "take one, take one" xD

[@AiyunoDaProGames]

I would do the same thing if I won, or else most of my cube collection would be guanlongs XD

[@KevinMin]

+LaZer0MonKey did Lucas keep the sandy cube?

[@redster2249]

I got 30 seconds with the guanlong, with beginners method

[@natassiarodriguez7420]

7:35 😂

[@Ashterix_Nocturnal]

No one noticed Rowe being sad.

[@simonpage6698]

Isn't it 16 people and not 15

[@ashtons.2282]

What did Anthony put in his cube

[@claudiollambi3680]

Ash sand and to much lube

[@kristofferbalintona2755]

Lol dat guy literally dumped enough lube for like 10 cubes in his Guanlong

[@LaZer0MonKey]

More like enough lube for 20 cubes
Lol

[@neilthecuber1260]

Serves him right he's the meanest staff guy in California

[@MitchellLane]

neilthecuber I wasn't trying to make my cube good, I was trying to make it as bad as possible.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

lol

[@00_v1]

Mitchell Lane sabotage

[@thaddius5620]

boron treated guanlong m

[@keithmasongsong3727]

Why is Anthony Brooks there? Isn't he a Canadian??

[@mattlee8754]

No, he is from Texas

[@KevinMin]

Eric Limeback is Canadian, and he is there.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

it doesn't matter about nationality, you can compete

[@richarddong4470]

to Brandon : WHAT'RE YOU DOING?

[@KevinMin]

someone told him he would give Brandon 5 dollars if he let Mitch win

[@thephysicistcuber175]

lol guanlong is my main!

[@justthepoutine5900]

Same, i have a yulong and an aolong v2, but the guanlong's still my main.

[@ashugoyal321]

Feliks was not there !!

[@wjrainbow9797]

[@ayushmaan8175]

10:03 denied for the handshake!!!!!!

[@Cubified]

10:05 HE GOT LEFT HANGIN

[@rathinsawant2523]

How did Anthony loose? He was 2 seconds faster than Lucas

[@LaZer0MonKey]

one of anthony's cubes wasn't solved. lucas was a full cube ahead

[@jj0rinx650]

wair why did they wait until they hit the timer?

[@Arkesus]

Mitch had thrown a bunch of sand into his cube, it moved like a steamroller so everyone intentionally let him win so he would still have to solve his sand cube and they wouldn't.

[@jhcworld4113]

AJ Green p

[@mrbeanfan7217]

How did lucas win..? He got a 2 sec + solve ryt?

[@sheesh8831]

Mr bean fan The guy he was against had an unsolved guanlong, while lucas solved all of his guanlong

[@womangaming9169]

XD mitch is insane XD

[@Andrew-McCormick]

Sand in the cube
As if Guanlongs weren’t bad enough on their own.

[@ileachoffeverything6535]

Guanglong's are fine budget cubes not the best but ik this comment is outdated so nvm...

[@Xaol]

I found Lucas Etter 1:53

[@huh5440]

Who is the man with blue shirt?

[@ileachoffeverything6535]

Mitchell lane this comment is outadated tho XD

[@firstnameiskowitz8493]

Where is the 5.58 former record?

[@AiyunoDaProGames]

That was in finals for Nats, it wasn't apart of the GuanLong challenge.

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

and it wasn't a record

[@cashcubez9835]

Was the guy on the right at 6:12 cheating and looking through the judge's fingers?

[@338c00lguy]

What exactly was brandon thinking?

[@Mechanabox]

He wasn't thinking, lol.

[@ipodmaster5720]

+TheProgrammingCuber someone told him that they would give him 5 bucks if he let Mitch win
