Yue Li (李越) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.74, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 391st in China. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2025, he has put 144 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.28 in June 2025 to 6.74, a 40% improvement. Yue has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
