Esli Hazell

2×2 · top 6.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016HAZE01

Esli Hazell has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Cubic Meltdown 2017, puts her in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,616th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2016, she has put 119 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 29.84 in May 2016 to 18.61, a 38% improvement. Esli has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
