Tee Kai Yang set the tone for an intense international showcase by capturing the premier 3x3x3 Cube title with a blistering 6.40 winning average and a round-best 4.93 single. The decisive performance edged out China standout Zijian Cai (蔡子健) at 6.67 and Singapore star Emmanuel Kao at 7.05 across three hard-fought rounds. That high-stakes duel between Malaysia, China, and the host nation defined the energy at Midland House, where 58 competitors gathered on March 29, 2026.
