Re: Losing on Purpose to Gain Advantage
My simple answer to this complicated question: if you were on Team C, how would you feel about Team B throwing the match?
Looking beyond that single match and championship: how do you want to be remembered?
This is very similar to the 6v0 discussion in 2010, most would agree that was a gray area and that was allowed and encouraged by the rules of the game.
What I'm trying to say is that, although slightly Naive, I would go with what feels right and not do whatever it takes to win.
