Celal Doğa Yazıcı
2×2 · top 3.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025YAZI01
Celal Doğa Yazıcı has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.75, set at Ankara Gloria Weekend 2025, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2025, he has put 151 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.55 in June 2025 to 1.75, a 68% improvement. Celal has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
