It's in between, can come from both the 1. e4 or 1. c4

I feel that it is quite possible to reach 1700 by just following basic opening principles and not falling for traps.

It is technically considered an English variation...I think

i think it is the english "symmetrical" or some crap

Technically it is a Sicilian move order (1.e4 c5), though it can transpose to an english position with the right follow-up moves.

Sicilian, the English Symmetrical variation 😉 can be both English and Sicilian, probably. Weakens d4 too much for me though...

It's pretty bad. White's got nothing.
