Guangzhou Special 2026

Inside Yeo's Fashion Factory, the solving stations were in constant motion as the single-day gathering got underway. Across 13 intense rounds in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, the assembly of solvers tackled specialty disciplines where every turn carries heavy stakes. With 93 competitors fighting across a demanding schedule on June 19, 2026, advancing through the brackets required near-perfect consistency. The setting provided an intense stage for side-event specialists stepping away from the standard Rubik's Cube format to test their mastery against a densely packed lineup.

The sheer density of talent at Guangzhou Special 2026 made every cut-off line a serious obstacle. Across five non-standard categories, the margin between advancing and being eliminated came down to mere tenths or hundredths of a second. Rather than looking for standard 3x3 results, participants focused entirely on specialized disciplines, facing crowded start lists where dozens of competitors fought for a handful of slots in the late rounds. In this high-pressure speedcubing environment, even seasoned solvers found no easy path into a final.

Skewb produced some of the sharpest clashes of the day, marked by record-setting pace from 57 starters. Kaixi Guo claimed the title with a winning average of 2.02, highlighted by a blazing National record single of 0.86 for China. The battle behind Guo was equally fierce, as Hui Chun Pong took second place with a 2.72 average after logging a Hong Kong National record average of 2.29 earlier in the event. Rinji Chan Pak Hei secured third on a 3.23 mark, having also set a Hong Kong National record single of 1.16 during the competition.

The 58 competitors in Pyraminx faced a three-round gauntlet that concluded in an exceptionally tight final. Shuda Huang took the gold medal with a 1.80 average, punctuated by the round's best single of 1.30. Kaixi Guo followed closely in second place at 1.90, while Yening Liu secured third with a 2.06 mark. Liu was a constant threat across multiple events throughout the cubing competition, proving to be one of the busiest and most consistent performers on the tournament floor.

Beyond the podium battles, Guangzhou Special 2026 served as a platform for remarkable individual breakthroughs and daring new events. Jiacan Su made massive strides in Skewb, setting a personal best of 2.66 to finish 55.1 percent faster than their previous best mark of 5.93 across two entered events. Kaiyan Ren took on four events, earning a 12th place finish in Clock, dropping their Skewb personal best by 43.5 percent from 3.40 down to 1.92, and registering a 1:05.69 Megaminx personal best. Yijia Chen entered three disciplines, making a first ever attempt at Pyraminx with a 6.55 and lowering their Square-1 personal best by 35.8 percent from 17.78 to 11.41.

Other solvers similarly capitalized on the deep competitive field to achieve significant personal milestones. Adrian Chan Hei Chit competed in three events, recording a first ever attempt at Skewb with an 8.83, while cutting their Pyraminx best by 34.6 percent to 3.54 and their Clock mark by 14.9 percent to 10.82 on the way to an 18th place finish in Pyraminx. Jinyi Liu logged a first ever attempt at Clock with 16.01, reduced their Pyraminx best by 26.8 percent to 3.66, and improved their Skewb best by 5.6 percent to 6.08. Meanwhile, Yinuo Ma completed first ever attempts in Square-1 at 20.46 and Clock at 6.01, while dropping their Pyraminx best by 18.2 percent to 2.33 to finish 11th overall.

Clock featured 63 entrants, making it the largest bracket of the weekend. Nachuan Sun emerged victorious over three rounds, averaging 4.00 and recording the day's fastest single at 2.91. Yening Liu took second place with a 4.05 average, finishing just ahead of Guo Yang, who completed the podium with a 4.34. The precision required on the geared dials highlighted the technical demands of modern speed cubing at the highest levels.

The final stages of Megaminx and Square-1 wrapped up an exhaustive schedule. Ziyu Wu dominated the 12-sided puzzle with a winning average of 26.02 and a best single of 24.90, besting Chuhao Guo at 36.83 and Yening Liu at 38.54. In Square-1, Zhiquan Li captured top honors with an 8.35 average and a 7.36 single, followed by Mingyang Wu at 9.53 and Liu at 9.56. In total, mainland China collected 13 podium spots and Hong Kong secured two, closing out Guangzhou Special 2026 as a premier WCA competition that tested the full breadth of the roster.
