Magnus Loses 2 Chess Games in 3 hours (and Wins a Titled Arena)

Now this is real news beefed up article that the writer put good effort on quite details and stories not the usual "hit and run" truncated unsatisfactory reports on important lichess events like Titled Arena.
2nd para and 1st sentence in that para in the blog say,

Carlsen’s final score of 115 points surprisingly doesn’t compare so favorably with recent winners.

The final score of Carlson was 120 not 115.
Am I going to be the only one showing this great player respect by calling him Carlsen lol. Incredible performance by him! (He's heading for no losses next time xD)
Thank you for doing the recaps and especially the puzzle packs! I really enjoy those, as the moves you ask us to find are most of the time doable, which is very encouraging!
Magnus is the best player in the World, Europe, and his country, Norway.
That's good to Analyse his games. Magnus loses his 2 games from @darkknight97 But I am happy because he won an important titled Arena! So happy...
This system of berserking in Blitz tournaments, especially from titled arena, should be removed. Alternatively, penalty like negative points should be added on loss to discourage this practise.

1. Everyone is berserking indiscriminately. Even those who dont want to are forced to to have a shot at standings( unless one is World champion).

2. It also has less to do relative strength and more to do with points. Else people wont be berserking against Magnus but they do.

3. Congrats to Magnus on a powerful performance and a new record of 30 wins back to back.

4. Does anyone know who holds max number of consecutive wins record in bullet arena ?
