Cubo Na Mochila João Monlevade Open 2025

Nineteen competitors gathered for a packed schedule of speedcubing on May 17, 2025, bringing diverse solving skills to Colégio Cesp in João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The action at Cubo Na Mochila João Monlevade Open 2025 featured eight rounds spread across five distinct events. Rather than focusing on a single discipline, the one-day gathering showcased an impressive spread of mechanical challenges, running from compact two-layered puzzles to large-format cubes, triangular geometries, and the asymmetrical physical challenge of single-handed turning.

Across eight competitive rounds, participants engaged in classic speed cubing across various dimensions and formats. The program included standard face-turning puzzles alongside specialised events that test different aspects of spatial reasoning and manual dexterity. Every round required solvers to adapt quickly, shifting gears from high-turn-speed sprints to deep algorithmic manipulation and pure ergonomics. The breadth of formats tested the depth of every entrant at this official WCA competition.

The flagship 3x3x3 Cube event drew a tournament-high 18 entrants across three separate rounds of competition. André Fazito Morais emerged victorious with a winning average of 11.75 seconds, backed by a best single solve of 10.80 seconds. The battle for the top spot produced some of the tightest 3x3 results of the year, with Miguel Duarte Teixeira Coelho securing second place with an average of 11.78 seconds and Lucas Jagger Vieira Laca Bretas rounding out the podium in third at 11.95 seconds.

The 2x2x2 Cube competition delivered rapid turnarounds across two competitive stages. Gabriel Pereira Felipe secured the title with an average of 3.63 seconds and a best single solve of 3.26 seconds in the final round. Behind him, Gabriel Assis Rios and Miguel Duarte Teixeira Coelho finished tied on final averages of 4.81 seconds, taking second and third place respectively. The event saw heavy activity in personal marks, with Gabriel Pereira Felipe also recording a swift 1.58 single during the weekend.

Beyond the traditional Rubik's Cube format, the 4x4x4 Cube and Pyraminx provided distinct structural tests for the field. Gabriel Assis Rios led the way on the larger grid, capturing first place in the 4x4x4 Cube with an average of 53.22 seconds and a single of 46.99 seconds, finishing ahead of Gabriel Pereira Felipe at 57.74 seconds and Diego Eiji Akatsuka Mizuta at 58.93 seconds. In the Pyraminx, João Borba Alvares da Silva claimed the title with an average of 6.15 seconds and a 5.33 single, outpacing Gabriel Assis Rios at 6.48 seconds and Diego Eiji Akatsuka Mizuta at 7.20 seconds.

Gabriel Pereira Felipe added a second title to his weekend haul by topping the podium in 3x3x3 One-Handed. His winning average of 17.09 seconds was anchored by a 14.98 single solve, placing him comfortably ahead of the ten-person field. Diego Eiji Akatsuka Mizuta took second place with a 23.23 average, edging out Gabriel Assis Rios, who finished third with a mark of 23.34 seconds. Across the entire cubing competition, Brazilian solvers swept all 15 available podium positions.
