Mateo David Vergara Baño
3×3 · top 9.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024BANO02
Mateo David Vergara Baño has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.57, set at Quito SúperCube 2025, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 83rd in Ecuador. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2024, he has put 35 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.83 in June 2024 to 10.57, a 47% improvement. Mateo 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.
