Leow Tze Yi
3×3 · top 2.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025YILE01
Leow Tze Yi has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.07, set at Selangor Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 145th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2025, he has put 171 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.11 in March 2025 to 8.07, an 11% improvement. Leow has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
