Blitz Dominance
With over 1,200 blitz games recorded online, Giuseppe’s win rate is a solid 56.55%. But watch out: those losses? They're fewer than the number of times he's been spotted sipping espresso mid-match (rumor has it each sip fuels a tactical brainstorm).
Competitive Spirit & Quirks
Giuseppe's psychological fortitude shines through a tilt factor of just 7 (low for anyone who jams 400+ games a year), and the best time to catch him at his peak is 2 AM — perfect for night owls and caffeine-fueled strategizing.
