Celebes Championship 2025

Inside Nipah Mall Makassar, the rhythmic clack of plastic on plastic echoed across the main hall as 48 solvers took to the tables for two days of intense speedcubing. Running from November 15 to November 16, 2025, the venue in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, hosted 20 total rounds across 11 different disciplines. Spectators and family members watched closely as participants inspected their puzzles, lowered their hands onto timer pads, and pushed their mechanical dexterity to the limit in a buzzing atmosphere.

The fastest sprint events provided the sharpest drama of the entire weekend. In the 3x3x3 Cube, the premier test at any cubing competition, Sadriansyah claimed first place with a winning average of 9.39 seconds across three rounds, narrowly edging out Wilson Alvis (陈智胜), who finished runner-up at 9.41 seconds. Muhammad Dzaki Zulfahmi Mansur took third place on the podium with an average of 10.44 seconds. Sadriansyah also secured the fastest single solve of the event at 8.34 seconds, delivering headline 3x3 results in a field of 47 entrants.

The 2x2x2 Cube division moved at an even more furious pace across two rounds of play. Muhammad Aldrian Altansyah captured the championship with a winning average of 3.47 seconds and a best single effort of 3.35 seconds. Muhammad Dzaki Zulfahmi Mansur secured second place with an average of 3.71 seconds, while Fayad Hafiz Attaqi finished in third position at 3.78 seconds. The event was packed with rapid turn speeds, demonstrating why short-format solving remains one of the most electric disciplines in speed cubing.

Across the broader schedule, several multi-event specialists delivered commanding sweeps. Wilson Alvis (陈智胜) had an exceptional run across the big cubes, winning the 5x5x5 Cube with an average of 1:07.45, the 6x6x6 Cube with a mark of 2:29.63, and the 7x7x7 Cube in 4:04.10.

The mid-size twisty puzzles brought intense competition to the podium. In the 4x4x4 Cube, Muhammad Dzaki Zulfahmi Mansur took top honors with an average of 35.67 seconds, followed by Wilson Alvis (陈智胜) at 36.42 seconds and Sadriansyah at 39.83 seconds.
