Re: Is it okay to "throw" a match that will be replayed?

If your robot can't survive one more match, you will not make it through eliminations in Aerial Assault. Play it to win, because it's not worth the risk, especially to your alliance partners.
Not sure what team you're on, but if we're in a match together I'd object it.

I agree 100%.
Never throw (or "throw") a match, your friends need you to play because the outcome of the match effects them too. |
