Re: Losing on Purpose to Gain Advantage
My simple answer to this complicated question: if you were on Team C, how would you feel about Team B throwing the match?
Looking beyond that single match and championship: how do you want to be remembered? This is very similar to the 6v0 discussion in 2010, most would agree that was a gray area and that was allowed and encouraged by the rules of the game. What I'm trying to say is that, although slightly Naive, I would go with what feels right and not do whatever it takes to win. |

6v0 helps everyone on your alliance. It is a strategic move that gets you points and hurts no one. Throwing a match hurts your alliance partners. |

One could discuss the theoretical situation where all 3 alliance partners want to lose for various reasons, but that's not the point of this thread. |

To answer your other questions, no, you should not consider the option, and I do not believe it is in the best interest of the team. Matt |

Re: Losing on Purpose to Gain Advantage
You can either choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing, and it's pretty clear that "anything you can get away with is OK" is the wrong thing.
How would you feel if YOUR alliance partner was throwing a match at your expense? Why would you do that to someone else? This isn't really that complicated. |

The catch is that the premise of the qualifying rounds is that the teams with which you have been randomly allied will work with you in order to win the match. The issue here is not whether "throwing the match" is right or wrong, but whether betraying your alliance partners is right or wrong. Kind of makes it a simple choice, doesn't it? Jason |
Re: Losing on Purpose to Gain Advantage
How is losing on purpose to hurt your alliance parter worse than winning on purpose to hurt your opponent? It's a competition, someone's going to get the short end of the stick. All we hope for is that the best teams do the best, and if team B is the best team, don't they deserve to be in the eliminations?
