Filip Loermans

2×2 · top 6.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022LOER01

Filip Loermans has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.21, set at Dutch Masters 2022, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2022, he has put 271 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.52 in April 2022 to 12.67, a 28% improvement. Filip has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
