C03 presents an interesting problem. Let's say you are a Surrogate Team, and you figure out yourself that you are better off throwing the match so that one of your alliance members doesn't get Raking Points. I think it is bad GP not to play to your ability.
This is one of many reasons the surrogate match was moved to the third match of the qualification schedule and not the last match. Seeding implications are less obvious at that point, and teams will be less likely to "test something new for eliminations" in that match.
