And then, of course, there is robot E who is also allied with you. You don't know it but they are a small underfunded team who has never been picked to play in the finals before. They have had unusually good luck at this event and nothing has broken down. If you had won the match, they would have been in the top 8 and guaranteed to play in the finals. But you didn't, you threw the match and they were knocked out of the top 8 and weren't picked.

Extreme example I know, but just so long as we are inventing scenarios. When you throw a match you hurt everyone on your alliance. It would be irresponsible and un-GP to throw a match, no matter what the circumstances. This is how first works. Teams help each other of the field and play their hardest on it.
