Yes, that must have been disappointing to him, but it should not have come as a surprise to him if the arbiters had told him when they told him and Wojtaszek that they had to move to a different table. One guideline that you can have there, is whether the opening variation has a name, and how popular that name is.

I explained my intuition there: I said that the sudden acceleration in players entering the >2400 players pool (while exit rate doesn't change), could affect the rating change there (you could have more overrated players at that point of time, because it will take them longer to leave then to enter, and extra overrated players can affect the rating distribution).

The playoff consisted of two blitz games; the time control was 5|3. But for some reason no one seems to complain about how Wojtaszek was treated since, after all, he was in the exact same situation other than not being in contention for first place in the tournament. Giri himself was strolling confidently through the playing hall after almost every move he made and was out of trouble when he could play the thematic ...d5 pawn break. I don't know weather Firouzja already knew that he didn't qualify for the tie-breaks by the time the arbiter approached them. And here's yet another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDr...) where a different commentator assumes that Firouzja learned of the tiebreak playoff situation when he went to check the results of the other games after he got up from the table following making his 60th move.

So my here is that Firouzja was totally unaware of that, and that most (if not all) the rest of the players were unaware of it as well. So basically we have no argument about the mistakes made by the organizers.
