Patrick Ponce just changed 3×3 One-Handed.
A 5.62-second solve established a new World Record—and it was only the beginning of an extraordinary fortnight for competitive cubing.
Between 1 and 14 August:
🌍 1 World Record�🌎 4 Continental Records�🏳️ 75 National Records�⚡ 42 unique record-setters�🏆 80 record performances across 24 competitions
From two new Oceanian One-Handed records and a sub-one 2×2 average to Vietnam’s 5×5 breakthrough, cubers around the world kept moving the limits.

The 2×2 market has changed—but has it actually moved on?
For the first edition of MCA Hardware, we ranked ten of today’s strongest 2×2 speedcubes, looking beyond hype to compare feel, control, performance, customisation and value.
Some are polished flagships. Others prove that an excellent competition cube does not need to be the most expensive—or the newest.
Swipe through the ranking, then tell us where we got it wrong. 👀
What should MCA Hardware rank next: 3×3, 4×4 or OH? Comment below.

Four competitions in Malta. One name present at every single one.

Gerard Tabone’s story in Maltese cubing is not defined by one result, but by longevity. From competing at Malta’s very first official competition to returning each time the community gathered, Gerard has witnessed every chapter of the sport’s growth on the islands.

Along the way, he also left his mark on the record books—setting Malta’s first official 4×4 average National Record.

Today, while pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, Gerard is preparing to return once again for the Maltese Championship 2026—extending an attendance record that nobody else shares.

Four competitions held. Four attended. The story continues this September.

At Maltese Championship 2026, the experience continues beyond the solving tables—with coffee stations, event T-shirts and exciting head-to-head finals brought to life by a live announcer.*
