UniKL MIAT Cube Open 2026

Four events were on the schedule across ten rounds of action, and every single gold medal went home with the same local standout. The UniKL MIAT Cube Open 2026 brought 39 competitors to UniKL MIAT in Dengkil, Selangor, Malaysia on May 10, 2026, delivering a world-class display of big-cube speedcubing. Competing on familiar ground, Malaysian representative Lim Hung took center stage and turned the single-day gathering into a showcase of historic proportions, sweeping the titles across all four contested disciplines.

The focal point of the meet belonged to the massive puzzles, where the Malaysian champion raised the bar for global speed cubing. In the 6x6x6 Cube, Lim Hung recorded a world record average of 1:04.94 during the competition, establishing a mark that resonated far beyond the local hall. When the final round arrived, Lim secured the event crown with a winning average of 1:13.39 and a best single of 1:07.96, outlasting 31 other entrants. Anyu Zhang of China took second place with a 1:19.20 average, while Malaysia's Ang Chin Xiang earned third at 1:29.46.

Lim continued his record-breaking form on the 7x7x7 Cube, capturing both global and continental milestones. During the rounds, he logged a world record single of 1:32.92 alongside an Asian record average of 1:40.65. In the 7x7x7 Cube final, Lim closed out the victory with a 1:41.51 average and a top single of 1:38.60. Anyu Zhang secured another runner-up finish with a 1:59.88 average, and Malaysia's Nordarwish Akmal Bin Noor Ibrahim completed the podium in third position with 2:11.91 among the 27 competitors.

The medium-sized puzzles brought equally sharp contests to this WCA competition. In the 5x5x5 Cube, Lim Hung topped a field of 37 entrants across two rounds, clinching the gold with an average of 41.03 and a best single of 37.59. Ang Chin Xiang took the silver medal with a 45.29 average, and Chia Poh Xuan made it an all-Malaysian podium by posting a 47.41 mark to claim third. While spectators often look for traditional 3x3 results at a Rubik's Cube meet, the focus on higher-order layers here produced exceptional density at the top.

The 4x4x4 Cube delivered the closest podium battle of the entire weekend across two competitive rounds featuring 38 competitors. Lim Hung sealed his four-event sweep with a winning average of 27.04 and a best single of 24.06.
