With an average of 56 moves per game, twowaun certainly does not shy away from the enduring battles on the board. Preferring to push through to the endgame where they thrive about 59% of the time, the player is known for their comeback rate of 65.22%—a true fighter spirit that turns the tides when the going gets tough.
Twowaun does have a small “tilt factor” of 7, so if you catch them on a Thursday (their nadir day with only about 42.5% win rate), maybe throw a cheeky pep talk their way.
