    The clock is such bs in tourneys. It really needs a revision to give each player a set amount of time like how chess does it instead of a shared time limit that can be eaten up. If each player was delegated a set time limit for each game or for the match in total, you probably could have played out game 1 a bit longer to see if you could squeeze out a win.
