Sergey Maksimov has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.73, set at Cube4fun Tylmanowa Autumn 2025, puts him in the top 11.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Latvia. Across 10 competitions since May 2025, he has put 187 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 8.67 in May 2025 to 2.73, a 69% improvement. Sergey has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
