Jelle Mattan

2×2 · top 7.5% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2025 · 2025MATT14

Jelle Mattan has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.35, set at Waremme Open 2026, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 71st in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2025, he has put 247 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.83 in November 2025 to 10.31, a 42% improvement. Jelle has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
