Did Lichess' berserk "math" fail badly?

Most probably you haven't searched for a"random chess" in your advanced search.

According to Arena Tournament FAQ:
""...Arena Berserk
Going Berserk in time controls with an increment also cancels the increment. (1+2 is an exception, it gives 1+0)
...""
But if watch this video, JannLee plays 3+2. He gets 1.5 +1 not 1.5 +0. He does have 1 sec increment.

#jimj12, allright, my mistake again about the date, it was played some days ago, but to be honest I don't think it's very relevant to the topic's issue.

And about #10 - I wouldn't know WHY would there be a berserk feature in "non-arena" (you are using this term to name a lichess-created tournament, not a user-created ones, right?), but I'm 100% sure my rival DID use a berserk option there.

And - NO - I do NOT use halucigenic drugs and I am NOT seeing fata-morganas. And - NO - I was NOT dead drunk.

So, instead of keep moaning about non-relevant details, would someone finally address the topic issue instead, finally? Pretty please?
@MajorBlunder

Please give a timestamp, it's a 90 minute video

If you look at 20:50, you will see that he has no increment after beserking for this game
@HardWoodPusher

i will try to make this as simple as possible because your reading comprehension is terrible

1. The game was NOT in a tournament
2. The Berserk option is ONLY available in tournament games

Therefore

3. Your opponent could not possibly have used the Berserk feature as it was not possible

#MajorBlunder; thanks for your video link. Yes I see it, the player DID get the "1.5+1" berserk for a "3+2" crazyhouse game. A real "halving" didn't happen in MY topic games, however.
