What a fucking scramble, this was my only viable sub12 dr and this is optimal somehow.

I noticed the shape on (F B' L2 D' B') looked nice but missed dr for 20, other than that everything good is from 2+3s here which i didn't check

L (L U F L) // EO(5/5)
D2 B U2 B2 D2 F D' // DR, 2c3 4e(7/12)
{F' D2 R2 B' R2 L2 F2 L2 F D2 F' B} // solve by doing start of the trigger and then it finishes by itself(12/24)

{} = F2 B R2 U2 B' U2 D2 F2 D2 F R2(-1/23)

I hate it when there's a unique good thing on the scramble and i barely miss it. i had (U L2 B F2 R) rzp and switched it, but didn't find 3 moves to trigger and there's a free 20 from that

Other drs:
D R F
(U' L)
(U D2 R' D R) // 2c4 in 10, 23 opt

U' F2 L
(U2 B)
D2 R2 D2 R2 F // 4c3 in 10, 22 opt but not realistically findable

I also found this
L (D F' D2 L)
(F')
(D2 B2 U F2 D') // 4b2 4e in 11

And if i only tried D R2 U instead of U F2 D i would've found a free 22, sad. I think this is the only of 4 variations i didn't look at on inverse before trying some variations on normal

M in +2, E in +2, fuck.

I had this rzp: (F2 D L U D'), from which there is a free 20 if you do dr in 11 but i didn't think of the right one, other than that the scramble is just bad.

I also had this:
F' D U' L' U'
F' B2 L' F2 L // 2c4 in 10, hoped it could be at least a 22 with jzp but it's a hard 23 opt

Also the 3move jzp was a complete scam

This looks like unique optimal off this dr's variations so that's good. Missed a 21 from same eo, but you have to extend 5c6e 5mover in a really cool way

There's actually a 23 here from doing a linear htr in 10 on the variation heavy side, but whatever, i'm happy to get away with a 24 on such bs of a scramble

R (R F R) // 7c8e ar-4c3e
(U') // move to different 7c8e
(R2 B D' F' U') // 2c3 4e in 10

I found this 23 from it and moved to other stuff, and didn't to it after finding 22
(L2 U2 B D2 F U2 F2 U2 F')
(U2 L2 U2) // slice in 22, +1

But actually this dr has a 21 by switching 4b2 4e reduction in 1, skull for not checking it

I actually nissed U (U F' R' D) but didn't try doing additional rzp which gives free 19, sad

Learnt my lesson about random S2s from previous solve, lmao

Unfortunately missed that (D2 L D B) has a +2 to 3c2e that gives a free 20

Fuck this season's league scrambles

My only dr with somewhat reasonable 23 is this:
(F' R' D L F)
U2 L2 D' R U' R // 2c3 4e in 11

But you have to insert a random S2 before trigger on inverse to get a 3move double slice finish

Mallard's only reasonable 22 is by doing rzp to 7c8e on D (U2 F2 D) on normal which i missed, skull

L' U' B D // EO(4/4)
R' // JZP(1/5)
(R' F2 L') // DR, 4b4(3/8)
(B L2 B) F2 D2 F U2 F' // HTR(8/16)
L2 D2 B2 R2 D2 B2 // finish(6-1/21)

Found this at 20 minutes and got lazy, but mallard doesnt give sub21

Forgot to switch (D F2 R2 F) for 20 with dr modification that Max found, oops

(B2 D L') // EO(3/3)
(U B) // DR-4C4E(2/5)
(U2 F2 D' L2 F) // DR, 4c3(5/10)
(U L2 B2 U' R2 D2 $ F2 D') // HTR(8/18)
(R2 F2 D2 B2) // LS(4/22)

$ = D2 R2 U2 B2 U2 R2 D2 F2(+0/22)

I found this at around 20 minutes, and forgot that i didn't check extensions of 3mover and went on to check around 50 5movers on normal. Then i returned to inverse and founds 2 variations of 2c4 in 8 but turned out they are both +15 optimal lmfao.

I had this:
D B L F2 D
F
B2 D2 L' D2 R // 0c4 in 11

I don't know why, but i didn't check L2 F2 L' B2 R after jzp which gives 0c0 4e in 11 and a free 21, skill issue, but other than that there seem to be no findable 21s so 22 is ok i guess

D2 B U2 R' F' // EO(5/5)
(R' B2 L' D) // DR, 2c4(4/9)
R' (L2 D2 F2 L' U2 L B2 L) // HTR(9/18)

Nice, mallard only finds sub22 from switching 5mover or by jzp on 2+2 that i missed, ooops

I was mainly working on
(F' U D' R)
(B U2 F' D2 F) // 2c4 in 9 with a million variations

But i skill issued so hard by not writing down B2 D B' L eo, from which there's basically a free 20, awful solving this week, this is just not tier 1 level at all

(L' D B' U2 R) // EO(5/5)
F' B' R2 U L2 U // DR, 2c3(6/11)
L2 [B' D2 B D2 B' // HTR(6/17)

Other:

(R)
(B R' B F2 L) // cool 2c4 in 10, 23 opt

R (D F' B2 R)
(B2 U R2 F2 U) // 2c3 6e in 10 with a million variations

(B2 F2 L' F')
(U' R2 L2 F2 D L) // 2c4 in 10

Missed jzp from (D B2 R F) eo, imagine noticing rzp to 6c3e but missing jzp in 5. Also missed the 8+4 cause i forgot to switch the other 3mover, probably a good thing since it was kind of doomed with all the variations as far as i understand

U' B (L' F') // EO(4/4)
(L') // DR-4E4C(1/5)
(B2 D L2 D L) // DR, 2c4(5/10)
D' R2 U' B2 U B2 L2 U // HTR(8/18)
F B D2 F B R2 // finish(6/24)

Starting a league week with a 24 is my favorite thing, fuck.

I also worked a lot on
(F' U L R2 B)
(R' L' F2 U' R2 U) // 4b2 4e in 11

Both of these drs are 22 optimal, but you have to do 2q switch 2q for better than 24 on both of them

Some other stuff:
(F' U' D L' F)
B2 U' B2 D R // 4a4 in 10, extendable to 4a3 in 11

(B' L B D F)
(U D B2 L' D' R) // 4a4 in 11, extendable to 2c3 in 12

(F' L F2 U R)
(D F L2 U2 B' U) // 4a4 in 11

Mallard only finds a 21 from a 5move eo i forgot about and rzp in 6

L' (F L' R) // EO(4/4)
(D') // JZP(1/5)
(L2 F R2 B) // DR, 2c4(4/9)

Double slice in +3 with 4q and F R2 B, skull

B' R2 F' R B R' // DR, 2c3 2e(6/11)

At around 45 minutes my only semi-decent sub11 dr was:
(R L2 F D)
(L)
(F2 R2 L' B' L') // 2c3 6e in 10

So i was pretty happy with a 22 from dr in 11, but then i remembered i didn't check 2 niss 4movers....

L (D' B2 R')
(F U2 B' L2 U') // 2c4 in 9, this has a super easy 21 i would've got if i didn't find this so late into attempt, i just saw that there's a qt after (U'), but in a hurry missed (D2 U) gives htr in +7 after it and it happens to have a 4move finish

L (D' B2 R)
(F2 B2 D' L2 U2 B) // 2c3 4e in 10 with 2 variations
(R2 D R2 U' L2 U)
(F2 L2 B2 L2 D2) // slice in 21, but +1 and that's optimal unfortunately

L (D' B2 R)
B2 D' L2 D2 B // 2c3 4e in 9 with 2 variations, had a 22 to slice from it, 21 opt but a much harder path than the 2c4

Disappointed with not checking this eo earlier but the final result is somewhat decent i guess. Mallard finds 18 from 2+3 eo(lol), but there's a reasonable 20 by switching 3mover and doing rzp into 7c8e

(F' L' F2 R) // EO(4/4)
(U' B) // DR-4C2E(2/6)
(D' B R2 B') // DR, 4b2 2e(4/10)
(R2 D B2 D') // HTR(4/14)
U2 B2 L2 U2 L2 F2 L2 // finish(7/21)

Imagine finding this before switching htr in 14:
(D' [B R2 B'])
D2 F2 L2 F2 B2 {U B2 U'}
R2 // double slice in 19

[] = B' F2 L2 B F2
{} = D L2 D' U2 // 22

Other drs:
(R L F' U2 L')
(D2 B U F' D) // 2c4 in 10 + variations

F D' F B' U
(F' L' U2 F2 U2 R) // 2c4 in 11

Surprisingly pleasant for a 10 bad scramble, unlike the previous one

(D' R' F' R' U) // EO(5/5)
(B) // DR-4C4E(1/6)
(L U2 L' B2 L B) // DR, 2c3 2e(6/12)
R F2 U2 [L U2 F2 R'] // HTR(7/19)
F2 B2 L2 F2 // LS(4/23)

[] = L2 R' F2 D2 L'(+1/24)

I tried to squeeze 23 out of
F L (L2 B L)
F2 R2 D L2 U // 2c5 in 10,

but you have to do htr in 10 on normal instead of inverse which i spent most my time on

Missed 22/23 by not switching (U' R' B' R' D), skull

L B' F' L' F // EO(5/5)
U2 L2 D L D' // DR, 4c3(5/10)
L B2 L D2 R2 D2 F2 R' // HTR(8/18)
L2 F2 U2 F2 U2 // finish(5/23)

You can get a 20 by doing rzp in 6 to 2e3c and dr in 11, or a 21 from rzp in 6 on (D) D2 U' L' U but it doesn't look like 5 to dr at all.

I had this dr, but delayed solving it too much to find an easy 22:
L B' F' L' F
(R D R' D) // 4c4 in 9, 22 opt

(D' F2 D) // EO(3/3)
(B' L') // DR-4C2E(2/5)
D2 B R F2 R' // DR, 4a2 4e(5/10)
(F2 U2 F) B2 U2 L2 D2 F // HTR(8/18)
U2 B2 D2 R2 F2 // finish(5-1/22)

Had a lot of mediocre drs in 10, this seems to be optimal from everything i had. Missed a 21 because i somehow forgot to switch the 3mover on normal, oops

R' B // EO(2/2)
(L') // DR-4E4C(1/3)
(R2 D U' L2 D' L) // DR, 4b2 0e(6/9)
(D2 R2 [U' R2 B2 R2 B2 U) // HTR(8/17)
(L2 F2 U2] R2 F2) // LS(5/22)

[] = D U2 B2 L2 B2 L2 D R2 B2 D2(+1/23)

Somehow the only 22 from this dr uses 4q, and with all the other drs i didn't get to checking that. Mallard only finds really obscure 20s

Other:
R' B' 
L'
D2 U' F2 B2 L2 D R // 2c3 2e in 10, 22 opt from variations but skull path

R' B' 
(U L')
U R2 D2 L2 U' R // 4b2 4e in 10, 21 opt with 4q

(R' D' F) // EO(3/3)
L // DR-4E4C(1/4)
(U L2 U B2 L') // DR, 4b2 2e(5/9)
U' F2 D' // HTR(3/12)
L2 U2 L2 D2 B2 R2 B2 // finish(7/19)

Lol, wasn't expecting this when i saw 10 bad axis

U L' F' L' D // EO(5/5)
F2 R2 F L' // DR, 2c4(4/9)
(U2 B' R2 B' U2 L2 B' L2 F) // HTR(9/18)
(D2 R L' F2 B2 R' L') // finish(7-2/23)

I had at least 6 23s and slices in 23, but somehow this dr has only 4 sub23, none of which have more than 3 half turns in a row, and i was overwhelmed with htrs as it was

My only other workable dr:
(F2 R' D B)
D' B2 D' R' D2 R' // 2c4 in 10

Turns out i actually had an htr for 22:
(D B2 U F2 U' L2 U'), which leads to 2e+M slice in 22 but insertion is pretty hard

However i only tried R' D2 R' -> qt -> switch , if i tried L' F2 L' -> qt -> switch i would've got a very easy 22, such a scam scramble

(D') F2 B2 U // EO(4/4)
R' B // JZP(2/6)
(L2 B L2 R2 F) // DR, 4b2 2e(5/11)
(R U2 R) // HTR(3/14)
(B2 U2 B2 D2 R2 F2) // finish(6/20)

I was sitting with this backup from around minute 35, would've submitted it if it was official, but i decided to check this niss eo at like 52 minutes and managed to scribble down the 20 at around 58-59

B' D' F2 U
L
U2 B' D2 L' B L
(L2 F D2 F')
(R2 D2 R2 D2 R2 F2 L2) // slice in 21 + 1

Also had a bunch of drs in 10 but nothing stood out, mallard only finds 19 from jzp off B U' R2 D so I'm very happy i managed a 20 in the last minutes
