Pavle Ruzojcic (pavlepc) — quick bio
Pavle Ruzojcic — known online as pavlepc — is a bullet-loving grinder who treats the 1+0 clock like a competitive sport. High-volume, creative, and sometimes gloriously chaotic, Pavle blends aggressive opening choices (hello Amar Gambit) with a stubborn endgame habit: keep playing until someone blinks.
Quick facts

Playing style & habits
Pavle is a tactical opportunist. He often captures early (avg first capture ≈ move 4), plays long decisive games (avg moves per win ~56), and has an impressive comeback metric — if a game looks lost, Pavle’s not done yet.
- Tilt factor: modest — Pavle acknowledges tilt exists (23) and keeps pushing on
- Best time of day: late-night monster — peak win rates around 23:00 and odd-hours like 5:00–6:00
- Common endgame behavior: nearly half of games reach endgame material; Pavle finishes fights
