Liang Li (李亮) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.79, set at GDSY Open 2019, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 468th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since January 2019, he has put 66 official solves on the record across six events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.71 in January 2019 to 10.11, a 20% improvement. Liang has entered two competitions.

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.
