In the final round of Berkeley Pre-Cal Day Tricubealon 2025 (where I also set a PR avg). Preserved a pair in a slot and turned it into a nice ELS skip.

Scramble (synthetic):
R2 L' B' D2 R' U R F2 D' F2 L2 B2 L2 D' B2 R2 D' R2 F2 R'

Solution:
x' U' R' U x' D' F R2 F' // X-Cross
y U L' U L R' U R // Slot 2
L' U L d L' U' L // ELS control + Slot 3
y U L' U' L U L' U' L U' L' U L // CLS
R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 U' // PLL
