Guoyi Chen (陈果逸) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.49, set at Taizhou Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.24% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 104th in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2025, he has put 332 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.20 in March 2025 to 5.49, a 24% improvement. Guoyi has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
