TITLED Arena

Why would bullet not be chess and blitz be?
The chess world champion won 5 out of 6 bullet titled arenas, so there must be at least a correlation. And the one he did not win was not won by a total noob either.
If there's something to question, it is according to me, why to make some tournaments reserved to titled players only?
poly: are there not enough open tournaments around on lichess where you can participate?
Having said that: why not titled tournaments - people seem to like it very much.. many observers etc.
why the hell.. does everybody think he was carlsen?
I actually have another theory.. being one from AZE.
@calmar when You see Carlsen play bullet You know it's him, he plays beautiful chess even in bullet, saw him strangling GMs within 30 seconds, it looked so simple, when he was doing it lol :) It was entertaining to watch Magnus art
What about something like 1+2? Still not so much more time for cheating, but quality of the games is much, much higher. In 1+0 too many games are decided just by time or by big blunders because there is no time left. As for me, I would join it, but without increment bullet is impossible for me.
Lichess TITLED Arena is the most entertaining thing as is. Don't "fix" it!
Period.
Last time when I watched, I saw many games like this one:



Some people may call this "chess" or "entertaining", but I don't. Just my opinion, anyone may think otherwise.
