Mateo Maturana

2×2 · top 1.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013MATU01

Mateo Maturana has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.43, set at Babylon Summer 2022, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 753rd in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2013, he has put 184 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.36 in September 2013 to 11.80, a 45% improvement. Mateo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
