Carlsen had been doing extremely well in 2019 so far before Sinquefield Cup began, then he lost some games at Rapid & Blitz and that can sometimes happen even for the world champion but he said "I don't care." when asked about the final day of blitz and overall standings. For that attitude I'm afraid maybe he deserved what happened at the tiebreak.

Honestly, I think this tournament isn't his best one. He just lost 10 ELO points from this tournament. Yikes. This TOTALLY does not show the true Carlsen.
