Anonymous IM Wins Titled Arena in Climactic Final Game

Congrats, GM Rasmus Svane and GM Nihal Sarin - for good and successful play, and for the ability to not to hide their facse! As congrats are IMHO something personal, it's difficult to direct them to we don't know who.
I watched the game live and know why Sarin chose to berserk the game; not because he wanted to ruin his chances of winning the game but because there was very little time left in the tournament.
The anonymous IM Mlchael could have at some point also stalled the game with his time to win the tournament, but he had such a good position through the whole game that he just chose to win the game too.

That doesn't make sense. Whether Sarin berserks or not does not change the possibility for his opponent to stall the game. And if he wanted to finish the game quickly, he could still have played fast without berserking in the first place.
imagine if he had won berserk only though. that would be epic
what is the name of the tourment? ??????????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
