Mateo Cepeda

2×2 · top 16.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018CEPE01

Mateo Cepeda has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.18, set at Ecuador Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 16.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 112th in Ecuador. Across 8 competitions since January 2018, he has put 126 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.05 in January 2018 to 3.18, a 47% improvement. Mateo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
