Mr. Bee is a true strategist who enjoys the finer details of the endgame — clocking over 60% endgame frequency. While he’s no stranger to losses (his rapid win/loss record is an even keel with 380 wins and 382 losses), he’s persistent and known for bouncing back with an extraordinary comeback rate of 81.49%.

Clock-Watching and Perfect Timing

In the battle against time, Mr. Bee prefers to strike when the rest of the world is catching some Z's or enjoying their coffee—his best time to play? A rather early 06:00 AM.
