I think you know that you are in the wrong on many fronts, but I do understand the mentality. The rush of emotion when something unexpected like that happens is crazy and insane.
My team has gone through that scenario in our minds as well. The past two years have really opened our eyes, but after a certain point, you have to give people the benefit of the doubt.
At the P'tree regional, a scenario went down where 2415 was approached by the first seed for a pick. 2415, who had struggled for the greater part of the regional, simply commented that they were having consistency issues to give full disclosure to the first seed. The first seed then opted to go with someone else, and 2415 powered through their issues and dominated the finals (for the two matches they played).
So it follows that perhaps 217 was simply alerting you of their situation with pure intentions. Perhaps they just wanted you to know what you were getting into. Whether it was experience, trust, or foresight, your team chose not to roll the dice on this and 1538 did. *shrug*
I'm not sure if anyone else on this forums understands, but I can tell you that I understand what you're feeling (having felt it before). However, these feelings are poisonous; they prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. It does not do to dwell on what could've been and forget to move forward.
