Yixi Liu (刘奕希)
2×2 · top 4.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019LIUY20
Yixi Liu (刘奕希) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Zhongshan NxN Speedcubing 2019, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 655th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2019, he has put 55 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.96 in June 2019 to 1.99, a 33% improvement. Yixi has entered two 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.
