I disagree. Purposely throwing matches hurts your partners who expect you to perform your best.
If for some reason everyone on your alliance wants to throw the match (like 1114's Qual Match 100 2010), then go ahead.
But if I was on your alliance, and you purposely threw the match, I would be unhappy. Very unhappy.
