Another "classical" tournament to be decided by Rapid/Blitz playoff. As far as I'm concerned Ding has won. He's ahead of Carlsen on both tiebreak and performance rating.
Perhaps if promoters and FIDE stop having playoffs, the players will try harder to win games knowing that they may lose via TB system.
