Loic Chiang has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.30, set at Harold Park Classic 2019, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in Singapore. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since August 2018, he has put 813 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.48 in August 2018 to 7.54, a 34% improvement. Loic has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
