Sebastian Chu
2×2 · top 7.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2019 · 2019CHUS01
Sebastian Chu has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at Terminus 2019, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,838th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2019, he has put 156 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.84 in February 2019 to 11.80, a 26% improvement. Sebastian has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
