Matan Erez Keren

2×2 · top 22.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015KERE02

Matan Erez Keren has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.66, set at Newmarket Open 2017, puts him in the top 22.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,486th in Canada. Across 10 competitions since November 2015, he has put 125 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% 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 46.85 in November 2015 to 17.49, a 63% improvement. Matan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
