What is the opinion on forfeiting the match now, considering the match will be a guarenteed victory anyways for your alliance partners.
this situation would make me want to do this more, here is my logic

+say 1114 picks 217 and 217 declines. (i know 1114's scouting system to understand that what im about to say goes totally against how it works) but which team would be fresh in their minds. plus if you do deserve to be picked, you will. if you truly complemented one of these two powerhouses, THIS MATCH would be your golden opportunity to prove it to them in their faces.
