Luka Korff
2×2 · top 7.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023KORF01
Luka Korff has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.38, set at Harvest Moon Cape Town 2024, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in South Africa. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2023, he has put 102 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.55 in April 2023 to 2.38, a 64% improvement. Luka has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
