He could even do things like not practice vs toss all week, nothing really wrong with not preparing well. | ||

Wow It's for the best of the team. I mean common you have people like Catz ffing in a far worse situation- at least one person is guaranteed through. If fantasy wins here, both teammates are eliminated. | ||

Make rain train extra hard for the snipe, make fantasy train harder to win even still. A rivalry doesn't hurt and if rain is unable to win, he doesn't deserve to do so. The idea is to get better as players and your organization/fans will recognize the games especially since it seems that they will throw for sure. Think about what it would mean to SKT if fantasy vs rain in BO3 produced the best games of starcraft2:hots yet. I highly doubt that boxer as a coach and the coaching staff at SKT1 are so shortsighted as to just think of what's good in this situation for the short term. | ||

And my answer is: I would throw the game (or rather: not play 100%), even if I didn't like my teammate, he's still my teammate. Not saying that Fantasy will do that, he's a professional player and I'm not, so we can't tell what exactly will happen. I think he won't exactly throw it by doing a BC-rush or something like that but he'll most likely not play his best, not take it too serious Well I've been in similar situations before as a team (no direct financial gain except material prizes and some benefits), and let me tell you, we would never throw a game. Of course my experience may be completely different from these pros. Again, we can't tell for sure. Assuming they'd throw just because they are teammates is tantamount to accusing them of matchfixing or poor sportsmanship. | ||

You know you've reached a low point when the community suspects that Slayers Boxer would encourage match fixing. Jesus people, this isn't the first time we've had a team kill. God damn, always assuming the worst. | ||
