Re: Intentionally Losing Matches

I would never try to use this strategy, I'd much rather be the number 8 alliance and try to beat the number 1 in a blaze of glory. It's understandable why some would do this and I have no doubt that someone has used this strategy. Should My team and I ever be in the position of picking and something like this is brought to my attention I would most likely say no but, on the other hand I would also have to have proof. Because something like this would be a big allegation to make and I would also like to see proof. I've speculated before that some top tier teams have thrown matches so that they can be more easily picked by a high seed.
