Wei Liu (刘蔚) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.32, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.032% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in China. Until May 2018, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since October 2023, he has put 282 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.93 in October 2023 to 4.32, a 56% improvement. Wei has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
