A Uniquely Stronghold Moral Quandry

This is an entirely hypothetical situation that has not occurred and it may not occur, but I was wondering about it with a friend earlier today.

Let's say Team 8111 has one match left in the day, and it's against Team 9999, the super-powerhouse team in their division. Team 8111 is in no place to potentially seed top 8, and neither are any of 8111's partners, but 8111's friend, 7222, is in a position to seed just below team 9999. 8111 and 7222 have a discussion where 7222 notes that if 9999 doesn't get the capture in their final match, 7222 could potentially seed above 9999.

What are the moral boundaries here for 8111?

If 8111 plays the match normally, trying to win despite being totally outgunned, and trying to get the capture and breach on their own, despite it not helping them or any of their partners, they likely lose and their friends on 7222 are in a poor position to play in eliminations.

Whereas if 8111 plays defense on 9999, they could cause 9999 to lose the capture and seed below 7222, their friends, who they have a previous relationship and therefore may be more likely to pick 8111 from a better position?

Again, these are all hypothetical and this scenario has not taken place, but it eschews the usual ranking points moral stuff in that no one is throwing a match, they're just choosing whether or not to play defense.
