Sirui Li (李思锐)

2×2 · top 7.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015LISI05

Sirui Li (李思锐) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.35, set at Zhanjiang Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,077th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2015, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.13 in December 2015 to 2.35, a 43% improvement. Sirui has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
