With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2507 and an even more ferocious bullet peak of 2603, ANIMAL45 fiercely competes in rapid-fire online duels, charming fans and foes alike with a playing style that screams both methodical endgame wizardry and a streak of early resignations that suggest a healthy dose of impatience—or maybe just a sharp instinct to cut losses.
