Liam E. Lee has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.33, set at Rubik's WCA North American Championship 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,895th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 30 competitions since April 2023, he has put 694 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.72 in April 2023 to 17.74, a 53% improvement. Liam has entered 30 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
