Magnus vs lichess players 0-1?

magnus came to the site but i was watching games of him playing with some 2600 bullet player and won only to like 61-90 and his rating is decreased much as i see hes not really active anymore did he just quit lichess for some reason he was playing very weak on the site i watched him aganist andrew tang an asian but i wasnt very impressed with carlsens play he only tried bullet but he plays many games in clasical on the tournaments like very popular tournaments in different national stuff. why didnt he try to play classicall isntead of bullet witch is not too good for him?
Going 90-61 (final score? ..I thought a few draws) vs Tang is an achievement nobody else in the world could attain, once again showing Magnus is the worlds best at any time control.
BTW, the time control was 45 sec / 0 increment and Tang rated 2758. Magnus was usually up on time vs Tang, who is seen as one the the fastest players anywhere. Only one other player, Naka, is regarded to have much chance vs Tang is such fast games.
Tang has played nearly 20,000 bullet games, about 5 times as many as others on the leader board. He plays in the marathon events. A rating is bound to take many more hits playing all comers and so many games. 2758 ! For just a youngster who spends half his days at university and other studies!
but andrew is some good guy but not the top1 tho i seen a stream carlsen was playing with a 2600 ELO guy causal but it was 50-50 and then it was like 60-100 when carlsen quit his game after his 100 th win.

anyways, why did carlsen leave the site?
what the hack can you earn money going for tournaments?

must be kidding. its kinda weird i didnt know that...1500$ for the first place. yes im jelaous as my elo is around 750 to be honest. i play but i don't get better. xD
@datsjustforforuming "he was playing very weak on the site i watched him aganist andrew tang an asian but i wasnt very impressed with carlsens play" lol
let's put it that way... if You would give Carlsen motivation, that he really needs to win or let's say every point = 1000 $, he would destroy penguin 100-10 (gentle version):)
Carlsen does not play for the $ here. His last two tournament wins he donated back to lichess. That is why the prize pool has increased.

You are very wrong stockmodo. Carlsen always gives it his best effort. The 3/2 win/loss ratio vs Tang was extremely impressive. You greatly underestimate penguingim's fast play skills. His skill alone with the mouse, is unsurpassed, and is proven with verifiable on-line tests. Tang just made GM and is rapidly improving. Any top 10 player would have to be in top form to win a 45 sec / 0 match.
"Carlsen always gives it his best effort" ... lol, just lol... you seem to know him "very well"
