Bortnyk wins Titled Arena (Formerly World Championship)

Congrats to the winner!
Why is it 'formerly world championship'
Alright then.

Nice that Bortnyk won the titled arena.
And also nice that Magnus is World Champion again.

But "flavor of Titled Arena" - this is awesome!
One should not get an extra point for winning a berserk game if the opponent also berserked. The way it is now, a double-berserk game is simply much better for both players than a normal game: the game will end sooner, and the winner will get an extra point. If anything, one should gain fewer points for a double berserk game, not more. Just my two cents.

Would it be an alternative to simply not allow the double-berserk? Since there is "no risk" in it why is there a reward (less time per game -> more points)?
