Yuze Zong (宗昱泽)
3×3 · top 0.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2025 · 2025ZONG01
Yuze Zong (宗昱泽) has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.33, set at Shanghai Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2025, he has put 305 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 6.93 in November 2025 to 5.33, a 23% improvement. Yuze has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
