Mats Valk and Feliks Zemdegs: Top 2 Seeds, 3x3 Final Round, Rubik's Cube World Championship 2013
Спорт
Update (May 2, 2014): This video was embedded by an excellent Guardian article about speedcubing: www.theguardian.com/technology...
FAQ: What cubes are they using?
A: Commenters below say that Mats uses a Moyu Weilong and Feliks uses a Dayan Zhanchi. (I don't know, myself.)

Mats's Solve 5 features an instant replay.
Felix Zemdegs and Mats Valk were the top 2 seeds going into the finals, and they would win the top 2 places. It all came down to the last pair of solves...

Re: The +2, here's my analysis:
At the time of the penalty assessment:
If there's no penalty:*
Mats Valk: 8.81, (9.52), 7.61, (7.31), 7.76 Avg: 8.06
Feliks Zemdegs: 8.39, 7.95, 8.21, 7.36
Feliks would need an 8.01 on his final solve to win.
If there is a penalty, then 9.76 is worse than 8.1, and so:
Mats Valk: 8.81, 9.52, 7.61, (7.31), (9.76+) Avg: 8.65
Feliks Zemdegs: 8.39, 7.95, 8.21, (7.36), (x) Avg: 8.18
Feliks would win no matter what he does on his last solve. (And it so happens he ends up getting his worst solve, and it doesn't matter.)
*Of course, it's also important to keep in mind that "Mats would've won if he didn't get the +2" makes two key mistaken assumptions about variables that are not independent:
1) If there were no penalty, it likely would've been due to him spending slightly more time turning the piece, which means the time would've been slightly higher, though not by much
2) If Mats's solve 5 time were around 8 seconds, Feliks might've tried a bit harder on solve 5. As it was, you could see him visibly relax (in Lucas's table cam footage).
It remains the case that if Mats spent slightly more time turning that last bit, Feliks would have been on the spot to deliver something close to an 8 or faster, and there would've been no guarantee that he would've succeeded, but that's all we could say about that; the exact details of his solve would've turned out differently.

It's called "the zone" alot of pressure on this kid. So he's listening to music, sunglasses to try put a mental barrier up from peoples eyes, doesnt pay attention to people so he doesnt get nervous and trying to stay calm so he's ready to go. Do what you need. It's a competition not a Sunday service. Lol

I sometimes behave or maybe look like Matt when I'm in a competition. And that's not because I'm cocky or feel like I'm the coolest girl on the planet. We never know what others are really feeling inside 😇I have respect for both of them. They're great. My first solved was 3:35, and I love watching them 'cos they make it look so easy😂😂😂

This is a great video. I have a question though. I will ask it like this- Final stages of a solve, Cuber lets go of the cube and stops timer before cube hits the table and settles, Upon hitting the table a layer turns more than 45 degrees, Is this a penalty? If so then what if the reverse happens? ie a layer had a > 45 degree turn at time of being dropped but as it hit the table the turn became less.

MrWaterLemons If you read the desccripition... 1) If there were no penalty, it likely would've been due to him spending slightly more time turning the piece, which means the time would've been slightly higher, though not by much 2) If Mats's solve 5 time were around 8 seconds, Feliks might've tried a bit harder on solve 5. As it was, you could see him visibly relax (in Lucas's table cam footage).
Seeing a new version of the finals makes it exciting to watch again. Bravo.

I find it a bit funny for Feliks. When Mats made a 7.31solve, Feliks went a bit serious on his next solve and made it 7.36 :D I was just suprised how Feliks got serious on that one :D
Wow! What an intense competition! I was so entertained! They both did well!

Who thinks that feliks cube was not the speed cube by its look
Mats entry felt so cocky, but I get the impression he is actually pretty shy, based on his lack of outward emotional expression and how he quickly put his headphones back on between tries.
Both these guys are like cube legends in my eyes
Mats is like a angry rockstar person but Felix is like a normal nice person . Jus look him and Luk that mats.
Great video. I love your editing :D
Just think how much faster (not by a whole lot but a decent amount of time) if they weren't shaking in front of everyone. you can tell they were shaking from holding their hands in front of the timer

It's seed in the sense that round 2 standings seed the ordering of the finals.
I played Rubik's cube for the first time when I was in grade school in 1981. There were no internet for us to learn then. It's been thought directly from person to person and the algorithm was highly inificient layer by layer and the fastest that I saw was three minutes.

I meant to write seeds. The results of the previous round determine "seeding" into the final round, so the players with the top two times in the semifinal round are the top two "seeds". Sorry that wasn't clear!
This is funny, now their best is about 5.55 (Mats) and Feliks only very slightly slower. But clearly, Feliks is cooler and deserves to keep number one. He doesn't have earphones in his ears at a public tournament. He is always polite and pleasant. He comes from my country, Australia. He is awesome. Perhaps he could regain world number one but we need to respect his wishes of shelving heavy cubing for graduating high school - very important.

They must have completed over 1000 different cubes, 1 year invested in time, and a bunch of sore hands to be able to do this. Best I could manage was near 3 minutes maybe I can get down to 2 minutes with a month of training. |Kudos!

As Luis said, if Feliks knew he needed an 8 to win, he might've tried a little harder and gotten a better final solve. We'll never really know. :) (Also, see my analysis in the video description: If there was no penalty but Mats's last solve was exactly the same time, Feliks would've needed an 8.01 final solve to win. But in order to get no penalty, Mats would've needed to spenta bit more time on that last turn, so he would've gotten a slightly slower time than what he got.)
erm feliks touched the cuve after the timer was stopped shouldn't that be a plus 2( the rule on delagets being able to not give them for that was not added at the time)
