Peiyu Liu (刘沛宇)

2×2 · top 18.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016LIUP02

Peiyu Liu (刘沛宇) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.36, set at SJTU Open 2018, puts him in the top 18.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,016th in China. Across 6 competitions since November 2016, he has put 65 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.46 in November 2016 to 3.36, a 25% improvement. Peiyu has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
