Liam Tagomata
3×3 · top 8.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024TAGO01
Liam Tagomata has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.35, set at GAN Iloilo Summer Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 929th in the Philippines. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since March 2024, he has put 304 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.05 in March 2024 to 10.35, a 70% improvement. Liam has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
