Re: Losing on Purpose to Gain Advantage

I should have said that in 2010 I was approached by our one of our alliance partners about our alliance intentionally losing. If all 3 agreed upon it, then we would have given 100% to our alliance strategy of seeding higher rather than 'going down in a blaze of glory' by getting annihilated by a far superior alliance. Such was the system in 2010, and I didn't realize until Atlanta that I'd made a mistake.

Other than that, I've only ever been approached about it once ... (Blake might remember it from a long time ago) to which I was almost kicked off the team for refusing, yet I stuck to my guns, we won the match, and things worked out in the end anyways.
