It solves the two biggest problems of the event: stability and alignment. By using a \u003cstrong\u003efully magnetic system\u003c\/strong\u003e (including the slice and the U\/D layers), YJ has created a puzzle that \"snaps\" into place, preventing the mid-turn lockups that used to plague this event. For Australian cubers in \u003cstrong\u003eSydney\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eMelbourne\u003c\/strong\u003e looking to get serious about side events, the MGC is not just an option—it is the definitive \"Main.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Performance Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Magnetic Positioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features magnets in the slice (middle) and the top\/bottom layers.
