Play to win

[Zorkinian]

I agree with the above post completely - for example, our team (233) and Krunch (79) are great friends, as we were paired last year to great effect. This year, we ended up on opposite sides of seeded alliances, and were put directly against each other, even physically, in the quarterfinals. Both teams knew that however much we liked each other, we were going to give each other some honest competition. Neither of us pulled any punches - Krunch gunned for us every match, doing the best they absolutely could to stop us, and vice versa.

The thought of throwing a match is so alien to me, I can't even understand why one team would insult another like that. It's like saying, "you can't win unless we give up."
