Amazeballs interview. Happyftproductions is the future. PS: Matthew, you should have asked about his lifting. Add that to the list of questions for next interview maybe.
Absolute banger video. There are two things I really liked and want to talk about. 1. Love how Luke mentions that language barrier is why he can't get a Chinese coach. Also want to mention, that is also a huge reason why the "secret" chinese coaching methods aren't well known outside China. (And yes, ofc they try to keep it secret, and there are other reasons as well) 2. I love the talk about timers and the bidding process to become the official timer for a certain contract. It'd kind of be like a lot of other sports. For example, the NBA has companies sign contracts to be the one making the official balls as well as official jerseys. And in cubing, it'd be even more necessary, as if people want to actually simulate competition, they would have to own the official timer. One thing I would have to add, it would have to be absolutely important for WCA to have people verify the accuracy of the timers. Also gotta mention the money could be used to grow the WCA.
Luke Griesser is so honest about his thoughts and has so much commentary on many different subjects. He also has the most inspiring journey I have seen in cubing. Thank you to Matthew and Luke for the interview!!!
Also another comment about for 36:20, most competitions in China actually require to apply to be a judge for a competition, and this requires you to be vetted by the organisers or some even to take a competition judge course and pass a certification. Judges usually get compensated and are rarely allowed to compete if they are staff.

@@Speedcubing-TV Registration is standardized by Cubing China, and equivalent to about 25$+5$ per event However, competitions are essentially all organized by local companies/clubs (analogous to for profit sports clubs), who get the benefit of publicity and prestige from the events.
16:22 nah. out of the 16 finalists, only like 6-7 had a real chance of winning, so this is false. Dont tell that someone like Michael Nielsen or Ray Bai could win, sure theyre great at 3x3, but not to an extent that they could win
@@michaelnielsen3551 Apologies if i had sounded rude. The point i was trying to make is that not everyone will have a mentality of trying to win, not because they dont want to, but because sometimes the competitor knows just how impropable that would really be. And i was not talking about you not being able to win any comp where there is 3x3, because saying that would be straight up bullshit. I was just talking about the USA nationals in particular. Unless you were really trying to beat Max Park or Matty or Luke G's in the finals, if so, then all the power to you. That could have been the biggest upset in any cubing championship ever.

how much does the judge course and certification exam cost in china?

That’s actually elite!
How much are competition registration fees typically? Do organizers get compensation too?

if you participate in finals, you have a chance to win, thats the beauty of cubing
I hope one day you are successful enough at something to truly understand how rude you just were.
Michael Nielsen and Ray Bai are good enough to win a lot of comps in US.
@@David-8686 i meant winning the US championships. For normal comps, yeah, absolutely
