Ye Leo Li (厉业) has been competing for 7 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.63, set at Hangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,523rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2026, he has put 94 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Ye has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
