Matías Alejandro Málaga Encalada has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.91, set at Peru Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 20.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 944th in Peru.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.34 in February 2018 to 13.91, a 40% improvement. He 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.
