Artem Korolev (Артём Королёв) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.97, set at Speedcubes Fest in SPB 2018, puts him in the top 26.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,021st in Russia. Across 4 competitions since May 2018, he has put 59 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.96 in May 2018 to 17.37, a 42% improvement. Artem has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
