Zeyu Li (李泽羽)
3×3 one-handed · top 0.6% of 73,695 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025LIZE01
Zeyu Li (李泽羽) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.19, set at Zhangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 48th in China. Until November 2013, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since January 2025, he has put 250 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.40 in January 2025 to 7.40, a 29% improvement. Zeyu has entered twelve 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.
