Liubomir Cvetanov

3×3 · top 43.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022CVET02

Liubomir Cvetanov has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.28, set at Burgas Open 2023, puts him in the top 43.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 256th in Bulgaria. Across 9 competitions since August 2022, he has put 60 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.86 in August 2022 to 21.28, an 18% improvement. Liubomir has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
